@L-B-Heuschkel if I get time. Things are intense with PhD. X

@Nynrose Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear this! Thanks for sharing - and wishes for good results in your upcoming treatment.

Wait, you all read the books?

Being published is a big deal. Gratz.

@Artemis There’s a group of us that’s adapting DnD rules into a post Second Reckoning campaign. One friend is doing a small module to apply to Arx and I’m creating a longer campiagn that’ll probably take place five years after putting Azazel back into his box.

Will it be the same? Nah.

Will it be fun? Probably.

less consistency about putting \ before my < and >

I only do it so I can look at it and know, “Right, it is checking for the actual < not some weird control character I’ve forgotten and need to look up.” 😛

I have transferred the grid and theme stuff to Atharia on Ares and fiddled code (mostly my awesome coder did the fiddling when she had time).

CG has been tested and people can now make characters. How I am currently handling character stuff:

While I am in the middle of transferring characters from PennMUSH Atharia to Ares Atharia players who wish to transfer their character (even returning people), or new characters, can go beyond the limitations in CG. I am not restricting how much beyond the CG points limits people can go as long as they are being reasonable about it. Once people stop being reasonable, I will start restricting.

The character transfer process will be:

Roster characters Retired characters Active Characters who are not being done by a player.

Basically, if you want to reach for the stars in your CG stuff, as a returning, new, or current player, now is a good time. I am not concerned about people being overpowered as long as they make sure to let others shine.

The problem is people.

It’s true. My code always works until people start touching it.

@DrQuinn said in Silent Heaven: Small-town Horror RPG:

-I basically can’t play it due to the whole ‘idle out on grid and bad things happen’ bit. I have kids and I work and so I have constant sudden interruptions even if I have carved out some time to play. And yes, sometimes (too often) those things are so sudden that I don’t even have time to hit the pause button (that I am glad was installed). I have been EXTREMELY lucky that most people are cool and seem to understand that part sucks and have returned me to the hotel room each and every time, but it instills an anxiousness in me OOCly that I really, really dislike. It takes me out of the game. It bleeds into RL in a way I really hate because after dealing with an emergency or any sudden, stressful situation I have to be like oh fuck, I need to run to log into this game and hope something hasn’t happened that I’d need to deal with IC while I was RLing and sit there and hit the buttons and wait to get back to the hotel so I can just sign off.

Having played a bit more, I wanted to come back to this, because it’s starting to really get to me. Ending a scene and logging off can become a 15-20 minute affair as I navigate the rooms to get back to the hotel. It makes it increasingly difficult to justify logging on and finding roleplay when I can’t simply dip out after a little bit. I understand the benefits of it, but it’s an unfortunate roadblock for me. I’d be willing to take a substantial hit to my character, whether in terms of money or skills or anything, to be able to log out wherever.

(I realize you CAN log out wherever but then it feels like an imposition on the kindness of others, just like Quinn said, and that’s even worse.)

@Rinel

It’s not fun to be stalked/harassed by a mob of racist/queerphobic weirdos online, even if you feel no shame in your identity. Also the kinds of people who would do this needn’t actually say anything about you that’s remotely true in order for it to be potentially damaging, or at the very least upsetting.

Yeah, I know.

@EDI7078 Thanks for the heads-up. I’m already playing there, and have been enjoying the place.

Not quite the cheese log I was looking for, but eh, close enough.

Fuck.

@BeetPoet Stressful. Glad you were able to clear things up! I’d rather have a staff that bans than doesn’t.

@Roz I tried but still getting it 😞
