        I’d just like to say that I was not the person who first brought up Mummies, nor am I the one making an Egypt-affiliated character.

        please clap

          I made a character and then immediately got eaten by work and life nonsense and I feel bad that I haven’t really done anything beyond cg and saying hello.

            @MisterBoring My dude, one of my PCs has been in an async scene for a very long time because other-player had to go AWOL for a bit because life. The game’s basically built for that idea, and it’s totally okay.

              @MisterBoring don’t worry, you’ve finished cg so you’re still ahead of Jennkryst!

              Game will be here when RL lets up-- I keep telling myself that too, lol

              let it be a challenge to you

                  I do look forward to doing sneaky super spy stuff when I finally can get free enough to even start a scene.

                    Look Chargen is hard enough before you hit submit and get told ‘actually we changed the rules’

                    and you go

                    ‘okay, I will adjust my character to fit the new ru-’
                    ‘actually we changed the rules again’

                    so it becomes easier to just… start from scratch.

                    This also won’t beat my record-setting Otaku stuck-in-chargen since at least 2009, on Shadowrun: Denver, so 21 days is like… nothing (but Shadowrun: Denver shenanigans is a discussion for another thread!)

                        @Jennkryst When we went with 18+, the idea was that it would be clear we were looking for adults, not barely legal catholic high school girls with a tempter agenda in demon.

                        But you’re right in that we changed the rules. So there’s that.

                          @Pavel Was it me? I feel like a half-dozen of those wound up being me…

                          Also. If it WAS me and I somehow missed getting back to it once the RL trying to eat me abated a touch, please throw me a few pokes. Trying to catch up as best as I can, but I know my brain. If something got lost in a swiss cheese memory hole, it’s all me and I don’t mean to have dropped things that weren’t picked back up again when they could be!

                              I never have issue with that because I tend to play older people as PCs. My character here is 49.

                                THIS! I was reminded this summer of how annoying younger characters are when their lacks of life experiences and therapy makes them do the dumbest things with the mistaken beliefs that they are immortal and the lacks of impulse control not to just do every ridiculous thing that pops into their minds. My twenty-two year old hot mess disaster reminded me why I /never/ app in anything/anyone under 30 if at all possible for themes and settings.

                                We're all mad here.

                                  @MisterBoring yea I’m reaching the point where even 20s feel like babies. It’s part of my real life because I’m the goddamn baby at work at 39.

                                  I remember rping characters turning 30 like that shit was a big deal. In a word, lmao.

                                  Honestly I don’t even know what you’d do as a naughty schoolgirl on a grid full of grownups.

                                        Pshaw, it was definitely on circumstances outside of anyone’s control. I only brought it up to illustrate the point that playing slow is a totally valid and acceptable way to conduct oneself.

                                            Not that it matters, but I was originally going to make her a Saboteur but there were so many of them on the census, I swapped to the lowest group out of some decade-old need to keep the balance but also for the memes.

                                            (Pre-empting the ‘there are 0 Integrators’ with they are essentially God-Machine Loyalists, and like Changeling Loyalists who work for the Keepers, are probably right-out for a game with a hard no-PVP policy)

                                            But you’re right in that we changed the rules. So there’s that.

                                            I’ve been pretty clear on this. You’re allowed to change the rules and policies to whatever you want. My issue is not that a rule was changed. My issue isn’t even the second, immediate follow-up rule change.

                                            If I was told ‘actually this whole concept isn’t good for these reasons, here is a list of things to fix’… I would still probably be annoyed, because I spent over a week talking about the dumb idea on channel and nobody told me to knock it off before then, but I’d still change it (and still probably start from scratch).

                                            My issue is I was given a specific change to make - to make her a freshman in college. And while I admittedly did not make that specific fix (took the semester off), making her a freshman in college would not have mattered, because the next rule change went to 21.

                                            To put a more humorous spin on it, my issue is that I am lazy. I will put in the effort, but I do not want to put in more effort than is needed. If the kitchen needs sweeping, I’m going to sweep… but I’m going to wait until everyone is done making a mess, and then sweep once, I’m not going to sweep up a tiny bit every hour. And god help the person who watches me while I’m sweeping and then spills something on the floor right where I just went over.

                                            … I lost the train of thought somewhere trying to be funny.

                                            But yeah. ‘This character will not work for all of these reasons’ is valid. ‘This character will not work for one specific reason, please change this one thing… tricksies, it still won’t work’ is… annoying. And is the core of my argument.
