            Logging in and immediately opening messengers with giant war-related invoices attached, but also happy to feel useful.

            I hate it here

                    I sort of wish that people would stop making that insinuation that staff would ever permit or GM a story in which children are killed. Repeatedly. Despite staff being very clear as to the boundary regarding that sort of story.

                    lol lmao

                      Honestly, I fuck this up sometimes without intent. Men, women and children rolls off the tongue rather absent-mindedly when describing a broad toll of casualties, and it’s a phrase I need to stop using.

                        There is a lot of games that also say that ‘children dying’ is part of war/ a part of a dark setting/etc. Same with things like abuse. So, it could just be hold over.

                          Yeah, that’s certainly part of it. Too many grimdark settings in the past has not improved my writing’s muscle memory, but I certainly don’t enjoy when I mess up and make someone feel uncomfy, either.

                            It’s not that bad things aren’t going to happen to children because war, but the narrative insistence on child involvement when staff has repeatedly said hey we’re not doing that anymore is pretty frustrating.

                            let it be a challenge to you

                              Oh, certainly. I don’t know the circumstances of the peeve, so I more was lamenting my own fallibility and occasional accidental slips.

                                Basically this.

                                Personally, I don’t really care about someone talking about kids dying/being hurt as a part of normal RP, like that’s not something that bothers me on an individual non-staff RPer level, but it gets exhausting when folks keep asking staff specifics or to address it directly.

                                I discovered my line real fast when folks wanted to do stuff or pitch plots in which kids being hurt and/or killed was the entire thing, particularly when it was players wanting their PCs to be the ones doing it. I’m not GMing Child!Hostel: The Torturers are the Main Characters Now.

                                      @kalakh oh damn, I think I remember exactly what you are talking about, lol. I feel like players fall on a spectrum between being so uninvested in NPCs that genocide is fine and being so invested in them that we are having to field uncomfortable questions about NPCs and situations involving them. I feel like being too far on either end of that spectrum is trouble.

                                      lol lmao

                                        Well, that took a rather unexpected turn from what I was expecting, what in the actual hell.

                                          Idea - do the nautical/aircraft thing and replace ‘men, women, and children’ line with ‘souls’, because it ups the edge factor further. How many people died in the attack? One-hundred thirty-eight souls were killed’.

                                          As for people who want to genocide or murder kids that like… are more than just a ‘my REAL WORLD child is annoying me today, I must vent’ (which… fair), City of Hope WyrmSphere is right over there, and… I dunno if there is a Star Wars game where they can do Empire things, actually. Obligatory plug for a new FFG game or something.
