        The true (read: joke) problem is that +time is currently February, and not some time over Summer Break/just after Fall Classes start up, and me not wanting to wait 4 months until graduation to app the character (though everyone knows I could have taken that long).

        I keep waffling over adding more, but between work distractions and not wanting to accidentally say the wrong thing and get banned, I choose door number three where I sit and design theoretical cyphers based on that ridiculous list I came up with. And maybe async rp, whom’st can say for sure.

          @Jennkryst lol what the hell. Or you could just move on, play your approved character, and not bring up the one that wasn’t approved at every opportunity? This is baffling to me. no one has even suggested this was in any way punitive or threatened you with consequences (at least that i’ve seen, i am not on staff and have no idea what your discussion was).

          Is it not kind of a regularly occurring thing that staff in a game are like ‘hey this concept doesn’t actually work can you do a different thing’?

            I think you’re doing the thing I do where you try to make sure you don’t offend people by mixing in humor, but what ends up happening is people can’t easily tell what you’re joking about and what you’re not joking about, and so misunderstandings happen, and so you try to use more humor to defuse the situation, and then more misunderstandings happen, and now oh gosh things are getting out of hand

            Anyway, I can understand why you’re annoyed at piecemeal changes to rules being made, and I can believe that you weren’t trying to toe the line. But what staff told you seems fairly obvious, and so an accidental misunderstanding on your part could definitely be seen as intentional.

            Communication sucks.

              I think staff on the game has been pretty reasonable, so the piecemeal changes don’t really bother me. I’d probably have made the same decision. 95% of the things that I’ve seen on the game have been just fine, and everything seems to be running smoothly. Would recommend this game to friends.

              The few things that fall into the other 5% are relatively minor all things considered, and fall more under the umbrella of ‘peeves’. Either things I disagree are or should be an actual issue on an adult game, inconsistent behavior and answers from the staff, or weird rules that have carried over from other games because they’re traditions but don’t have any actual support in the theme or text.

              But overall I’d say that things are pretty good, and really it’s one of the better implementations of a World of Darkness game. Ares makes for a ton of grace, too.

              Not everyone likes me, but not everyone matters.

                Actually @Jennkryst, I’m sorry. If I’m misunderstanding humor, that’s my issue, and i’ll go back to minding my business. Pls pick a very cool demon name (which I just learned about today) like mr. mope or little ms pandemonium

                  @Deviant FWIW if any rules seem weird, they are probably weird of our own invention. Just because we don’t have enough experience on other CoD games to be pulling rules from them.

                    Yesterday I had to crash the rp scene to a halt to look up a thing on my own sheet, except that I didn’t actually have to, I was just second guessing myself stupidly about a thing that it turned out didn’t even apply to that situation.

                    I’m great at world of darkness, you guys.

                        when players cannot be trusted to respect the spirit of “PCs must clearly be adults,” then sometimes revisions must be made 🤷

                        Yeah I typically go with 22+ for policy these days when designing games. I feel like fresh out of some college is young enough, without being a literal child.

                          @Cobalt I was fresh out of college at 28-29. So I guess that is my new age to app characters at.

                          (Jk, I don’t play these silly text based games anymore. I play the superior Minecraft, which is definitely not a kids game no matter what my parents say.)

                              @hellfrog yes in real life, never in Minecraft. That roof is always going to be wonky and it’s going to drive me nuts and I’m gonna just have to throw some leaves over it and amethyst clusters.

                                Minecraft and MUing have a lot in common, at least for me.

                                I’m constantly seeing people make this massive, impressive, and time-consuming thing… but every time, I just make a dinky little cabin, then dig down as far as I can go because it amuses me, and then I get distracted doing something else for a while and totally forget about Minecraft.

                                        I genuinely appreciate staff being really understanding with personal fumbles and clarifying things in posts. There are moments I feel guilty and worry I’m wasting people’s time, so it really does put me at ease!
