Or put in jobs or showed up to random call scenes? If people don’t put in jobs about things, I wind up kind of assuming those people aren’t that interested in getting involved with whatever is going on. I’m finding that it seems to be the same usual suspects doing the legwork.

Public games that still in the year of our lord 2022 are…
The only thing that has advanced significantly past the stage of infancy despite decades of MU existence is the code used to run games. Everything else is very nearly the same as it was decades ago. Same problems. Same issues. Repeat MU after MU.
In some cases, you can watch the mistakes happen in real time as the inevitability of decades of experiences blows by game runners who think they are immune to the same basic pitfalls that befall every game.
Many don’t learn from the mistakes of the past. A lot of that has to do with the lack of transparency in running games that most places have. So people starting up new games are basically starting from scratch, save for the code, for which several people have been very diligent in documentation and transparency.
But otherwise, expect the same old dumbness in game running to keep repeating.

@KarmaBum This game in question has been reduced to two staffers and their favorites and mostly everyone else has been driven off. These staffers try to micromanage the RP of everyone who isn’t in their circles, and will intentionally run scenes so that their buddies get all the cool moments while everyone else watches.
Put in jobs and have a plan that you’ve worked on in scenes? Get told in the GMed scenes that your plans aren’t going to happen and you’re gonna take the plot on rails that you’re given and you’re going to like it.
There are some good people on this game, but if you’re not buddies with staff, all you’re going to get are social scenes and the stories you create… which you might get told to stop telling because it draws attention away from the people staff deem are important.
I’m glad they’re having their fun, but like, why waste other people’s time? I know I stopped wasting mine.

I just realized I lost my link to the log of the Gunpoint Guest story at least one computer ago, maybe two. Dang. That was a heck of a ride.

@GF I was staff on the first game he showed up on I think. I have a link around here somewhere…
[Guest] Guest2 says, “You didn’t learn your arts by being tortured and beaten with them dustin.”
[Guest] Guest2 says, “The katas I had to learn I had to learn with a gun pointed at my head.”
[Guest] Guest2 says, “If I get them wrong I get shot.”
[Guest] <RP Wiz> Supernova says, “I don’t believe you.” -
I believe it. 110%

Live by the fist, die by the Glock.

Okay, I have to admit that log was funnier back before so much of the crap he pulled was codified. His whole proto-“facts don’t care about your feelings but care very much about mine” shtick; the insistence that you prove to him he behaved badly but also he’s the only one with authority to make that determination.
I hope if he’s still alive, he remembers this exchange and cringes.

I need players to stop evading bans. Whack-a-mole stops being fun after awhile.

The lad’s bad luck goes beyond a character sheet.

@Roz I always say his name in my head the way they say Fremulon after The Good Place, B99, etc. ZEBULON.

Agreed. That poor guy has been picked up and put down more than a cranky two year old who wants ‘uppies’.

At least it’s on brand for the character. Can’t catch a break, never mind a consistent player.

@Testament Now I almost wanna app him just so I can add to the parade of shame.
