A Constructive Arx Thread
-
I feel like this is a line that people are just bad at. Sex isn’t shameful on Arx, but also like, it’s weird if people talk about it in public situations.
I finally had to ask people to just chill out with the sex jokes around Norwood because YES, it is fun how he reacts but like, it’s not because he’s against the sex, it’s because he thinks it’s no one else’s god damn business - especially his. HE DOES NOT WANT TO KNOW YOUR PRIVATE BUSINESS AND YOU DON’T GET TO KNOW HIS.
I actually don’t know if this is actually constructive or more of a peeve.
(Upside, the people I asked to chill were really wonderful and immediately did without a hit to our relationships.)

Players need to mind their business
How often so many problems could be solved just with this half of the sentence.

Is there a yoke on changing the home property/properties owned by roster PCs when you first take them? If so, what do you do to get things fixed when they’re super broken/misspelled/ugly/etc?
Squee, it’s fixed, it’s working, I figured it out, or… something.
I closed the ticket I opened, and think it likely resolved with a reboot, but at any rate I’ve managed to sort EVERYTHING out just as I like it so thank you to everybody who answered even if I’m not entirely sure what fixed it!

Since @Mourne is like me and can’t really do roster bits (I keep trying). I’m posting this over here for them since they were considering joining Arx:
OCs
Posted by Herja on 07/20/22
Thanks to a bunch of hard work on Apostate’s part, he has made code fixes so that cg is actually working again! Yay! What this means is that we are going to be able to open the game to OCs again!But, going forward and in order to have the time and space to make OCs fit well within the game’s story, we aren’t leaving OC creation on indefinitely. The idea is to open up a short window where we will accept OC applications for a two week time period. After that time period passes, OCs will be restricted again and staff will take the time to go through applications to ensure thematic adherence as well as solid story integration.
Given how much attention we intend to pay to OC applications, these will take longer to process than roster applications but we think the end result will be worth the effort and ask for your patience. Expect up to a month turn around on OC applications depending on how many we receive. In the future, we intend to announce a window to submit rosters if you are an org leader but for this round, we are only looking at OCs.
The next OC creation window will open on August 1st and close on August 15th.

@icanbeyourmuse Suddenly glad I never picked up that second character yet, gonna figure out how to make one of my redonkulous beard-stroking-ly ebil ideas.

I loved my run on Arx.
Good players, good GMs. Good experience.
When Ari died, it was exciting. And well, I basically could not find another character that could top that. So I drifted off.
I tried. I tried to find a character. I tried to settle back in. But I just could not find a good fit.
Ari was lighting in a bottle for me and I will always think fondly of that three year stretch on Arx.
-
I’m admittedly not as active on my character there as I could be so take this as you will, but I couldn’t recommend Redreef more for anybody shopping around for somewhere to plant an OC. Ember is a lovely org leader and ST, even during downtime.
-
Gonna float this weird and possibly not good idea I have…I’d like another Arx character but I don’t want to spin up an OC and fall off because I can’t get my claws in. Does anyone have a ‘would like to have’ character on a list for their House or org or whatever? I don’t think I need an unreasonable amount of hand-holding but if I can’t get meaningful RP every week or so I go into the ‘why am I here if no one loves me’ death spiral.
The only thing I’m not at all open to playing is a male character because I just suck at playing male characters.
-
@Snackness Not an OC but just floating that I think you’d play a real good Briseis. I guess she’s not technically on the roster right now but the last player hasn’t connected since March so I’m sure staff would put her back up. JUST SAYING.

Fitz could use a GOOD INFLUENCE in his life.

@Roz That could be fun…

@Snackness If you are considering an OC @Jennkryst and I are talking making a pair for Malvici family. If you want to group up with us and decide against suggested ideas. I’m not concerned about you dropping off or whatever. 90% of the time I’m a ‘do what you want’ girl.
-
@Snackness I always want more cool people in the King’s Own but the meaningfulness of it is kinda what you make of it, in my experience.
-
@farfalla you think I’m cool people

@icanbeyourmuse The REAL question is if they will approve of my Darth Sideous Hedonismbot lewd Femme Himbo, or ban me on the spot.
Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!
She/her -

They can’t ban all of us!
No seriously, with OC’s open I will try and come up with something. I’ll give it some thought and hopefully get something put in before it closes.
-
@Mourne Good luck on ideas! The offer to group with me and Jenn is extended to you too. If that will help anything

I know nothing about nothing. I want to play a thinker, not a fighter, who is a planner and tactical over ‘I whip out my <e-peen weapon of choice>’ Preferably someone who isn’t a commoner, cuz, I am inequal enough RL TYVM.
Not sure where that fits in with what y’all are planning…
Except I don’t want to be related to Jennkryst cuz that’s shutting a door I may not want closed! Or she may not! Or whoever may not! I refuse to be shamed!
-
@Mourne My OCs have all been commoners and it’s great, the power dynamics are definitely -different-, there are ways to equalize the playing field, or to shift the perspective so you see it’s that way, but I do understand that it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
Good luck on your character creation! I’m looking forward to seeing what people put in.
