Only greeting I’m responding to from now on.

I do wish there were a way to tag people in Ares so it gives them a channel notification.

[Juniper]

I am just not the sort of person to greet newcomers like a Labrador Retriever aggressively licking your face.

I’m more like an old tortoiseshell cat who’s in the house… somewhere. And will probably notice your presence within the hour, or when you shake the treat bag.

You guys are socialising in channels? That’s wild.

[Pyrephox]

I enjoy socializing in channels! I will usually say hi if I happen to be looking at it. Admittedly, on Ares, I often am not looking at it. Or I’m distracted. So it’s a bit of a shotgun friendliness punctuated by long periods of doing something else.

[hellfrog]

yeah, like I will absolutely say HI to 3 people and then immediately leave the keys for any amount of time, so it’s always going to be sporadic.

I def get the other side, sometimes I also get that whole ‘ok but why not me am i not fun’ and then I have to remind myself of all the contradicting evidence

This is a big thing. I absolutely do this myself, even though I know a) it’s not true, and it’s b) me actively ruining my own enjoyment over things I am making up in my head.

My peeve really is me.

[Val]

I want people to feel welcome, but I don’t want to engage because I’m tired as fuck or distracted as hell. I’m happy to see you. I just need a nap and four more hours in the day.

[Snackness]

@Val This needs to go on a t-shirt

[Kestrel]

The above discussion is why I will not have logon messages if I make a game.

[SpaceKhomeini]

My level of channel engagement is completely random and subject to the ebb and flow of my energy level, that includes greetings.

That being said, it’s never really occurred to me that people would feel miffed by my lack of attention; I just subconsciously assume they thought they dodged a bullet.

@catzilla

[RightMeow]

@SpaceKhomeini You called?

[Cobalt]

Ngl, I do get a little sad when I say “hi game” or “hello folks” and not a single person responds. But also, no one is required to greet me. Sometimes people do, and sometimes they don’t and I tell my goblin brain to stop being an idiot and assuming it’s because they HATE me and rather they are probably busy.

Except when they immediately greet someone else within a minute time frame. Then my goblin brain wins.

how bored you gotta be when you scene with yourself

@ten

But just imagine how good the TS is! They both know exactly what the other wants!

I scene with myself all the time, I just don’t go to the effort of posting it.

I just
I don’t get it
how are you gonna win the cooperative game, doing this
why do you want to?

weird. PLS EXPLAIN

[Pavel]

@hellfrog Right? Like I can understand trying to bypass rules or something, but doing so to play opposite yourself? That’s a little odd.
