      i sure wish the type of character i like to play didn’t tend to attract so many creepers.

      don’t page people about how excited you are for a TS scene that may have just been a false promise and my character keeping yours on the hook, ffs. even if there was a chance the moment you brought it ooc that went out the window.

      generally just don’t page people you don’t know about TS.

          Descs do not, nor should not have some kind of metaposing in it. They are a factual description of what a thing, be it place, person, or thing, looks like. It’s not there to illicit some kind of reaction in the person looking at it. That’s up to the other character to decide how they want to react to it.

          I thought this would be common knowledge at this point.

            Yeah but:

            He has a very big bulge in his jeans where the dick would be and it is not a sock because it makes all women almost orgasm with desire.Behind him is a very firm muscled ass that makes you wantto slap it and play with it in lots of ways but only if your a women.If you area man you will die if you touch it because [Name] is strong and very not Gay.If you are a women he winks and smiles at you and thinks you have a nice personality.If you are a man again he frowns at you and it makes you not hit on him or on any women when hes here.

            Are you gonna tell me that isn’t ART?

                  I disagree with this.

                  If I’m describing a creepy old mansion, I hope I illicit a dude, that’s creepy reaction.

                  If I’m doing it right, I can accomplish this by describing the spiderwebs and mildew-smell and what may or may not be a pile of human bones in the corner, but sometimes… sometimes all I got is @desc here=This mansion is creepy.

                    one time @Tez wrote me a desc for a character and it said they had “pullable hair” or something like that, and a stranger remarked about it. and I was like, oh god.

                          @Pavel Not only did I never bother to read descs, I also never even bothered to check anyone’s PB. Just like I was never really thinking about what Arthur Dent or Ford Prefect actually looked like when I was reading HHGttG.

                          We were all just featureless silhouettes interacting with each other as far as my brain was concerned.

                                  Same, and it started out for the same reason but as I’ve gotten older it’s become kind of a self-defense technique. I attract a lot of straight dudes who play queer women, and I want to give their RP a chance, but it really hurts my immersion when I see them write a desc like a man or when I see their PB is some intensely straight internet celebrity.

                                    when you don’t want someone to do something for you IC and they act like you have mortality insulted them and are being very unreasonable and it was never personal on your end

                                          An ooooooold peeve that I was reminded of recently. I was once on a shitty zombie game that had rules about “thought-posing”. As in, your pose could not contain anything that other people couldn’t immediately respond to. Flavor meta had to be all things that were immediately observable and that’s it, and people would stop scenes if they saw the Forbidden Meta.

                                            I think this one depends though, like I’ve been in scenes where people have thought-posed disliking my character or “thinking they are really weird”. Which is just being passive aggressive without any IC consequences. Not like I can pose responding to it.

                                            Or on a MUD where people would “privately consider Lord Smith’s words” or “internally disagree with Lady Spencer” that leaves neither of those players unable to respond.
