MU Peeves Thread

I’m just tired and sad that since I’m not in the same timezone as most MUers, it really impacts on my ability to enjoy my hobby because no-one is around. I enjoy the collaborative, interactive nature of MUing. I like how anonymous and throwaway MU*ing is.

I understand, I have a job like most people and I’m only around in the evening too. No-one I know rl wants to MU* so I can’t recruit people who are available when I’m available.

I am proactive - I run prps, I try to make rp links and throw out rp hooks. It just bums me out that there is rarely anyone around to do the things I have planned with. I try to set things up only for them to fizzle out or never get off the ground because I can’t schedule with other players.

I can’t get involved in prps or MU* plot because I’m not around when prps or staff run plots take place. I’d love to make certain character types, but since the group I’d be involved with aren’t on when I’m on, there would be no point. At times I just wonder why I bother with my hobby at all. I really don’t know what the solution is. I don’t think there’s any sci-fi Ares-style MU*s that support async rp?

@oknow have you tried The Network or Keys? Both of those seem to support async rp.

@oknow I feel this one a lot. I personally blame my timezone as the #1 reason for drifting away from games as it can become very hard to actually play at my own best times to be available for it.

Pavel

We need to make a game oriented around an inconvenient-to-Americans timezone.

Keys main (@L-B-Heuschkel one of the mains?) Admin is on the other side of the world from America!

Pavel

@junipersky Yeah. But I want my own game, with blackjack and hookers. And tinnies, and speedos, and snags on the barbie outside Bunnings.

@oknow if it helps, it’s not a choice, and it’s a bummer here, too. i wish i could host stuff for people on alt time zones.

+1 maybe Keys? Sci-fi adjacent? (nb: don’t play there, just voyeur)

@Pavel Back in the day there was a WoD MU* set in Liverpool run by a couple who live in the UK (Liverpool, I think?) but it fizzled out.

oknow

@Livia It’s the main reason I give up too.

oknow

@bear_necessities @KarmaBum I’ll check it out.

Me, going ‘WTF ARE TINNIES?!’ and madly Googling only to find out there’s nothing scandalous there at all.
