Neon Protocol

Double post

I just checked out the Roster list. Out of the 14 PCs available, only 5 are female and one of those 5 is an old woman that is sure not to be a threat to any potential quest to collect all the peen on the game.

This doesn’t surprise me. From the couple of people I spoke to who app’d female characters, they waited significantly longer than other people to be approved.

The staff at Neon Protocol is likely the same person that ran The Becoming. I don’t believe that is the same person as jujube/inuki/etc.

Oh. Hard Pass. Hard pass on all their games. Not shocked by this thread now.

You already know the tea. It’s just the absolute control she had to have over every character action. Women characters were held to a far higher standard. She’d nitpick decisions, make scenes to just lecture, etc.

Rinse. Repeat.

I’m sure they are a good person, but the way they admin left a sour taste in my mouth.

I didn’t see this before posting. Now I’m 99% sure it’s her.

I’m almost positive it’s not the same person.

I can certainly believe that as well. Like I originally said, there’s plenty of crazies out there.

ETA For those of us not in the know who is Haruki and what is The Becoming and are they related at all.

@catzilla the becoming was a Lord and Ladies steampunk game that was on Ares for awhile. The premise was great.

@catzilla The relationship is that I experienced a wave of traumatic memories at the sameness of behavior from the player of Haruka on Liberation when the behaviors of the above troublemaker in this thread were described, so much as to feel like it’s the same person when it was quite likey not.

The commentary I’m making is that there are far too many people with that behavior pattern in this community.

The follow-on is that for as traumatized as I have been by the experience, I am thankful it was not worse, as it demonstrably could have been.

This was my gut feeling as well and why I didn’t app in there. I am too goddamned old for this.

The elephant in the room is how Neon Protocol straight up looks like a scenario in AI dungeon. I was immediately repelled by it.

This – aside from terrible AI in general, the aesthetic is very jarring with the NEON colors juxtaposed with the “small town farmer’s market flyer” sort of AI slop.

I get that it’s trying for small town supernatural but definitely missing that mark. Also I get that not everyone’s an artist or adept at PhotoShop but we existed for decades without it on Mu*s, we don’t need it now.
