Liberation MUSH

[MisterBoring]

@Polk You are correct to. A lot of the really successful larger LARPs I’ve been a part of that I’ve felt handled interpersonal issues well had a team dedicated to it so that if one person was the issue, or felt they were compromised in sorting it out because of existing relationships, others could step in and handle it.

I don’t know of any MU that’s done it well, as I’ve always felt that the interpersonal OOC stuff isn’t something that any of us want to deal with if we can avoid it.

Given past behavior I’m not surprised that there is an ultimate single person lockdown on the game, presented (and probably genuinely desperately believed) as something deeply altruistic to everyone else. It isn’t healthy, but nobody is going to be able to say anything to change her mind, so.

Most people don’t realize it is cannon in the DC universe that the Amazons from the island Wonder Woman comes from would set sail into the ocean, find a boat full of men, bang them in a drunken orgy, then murder them all. They would keep the girls but gather all the male children that resulted from the orgy and take them to “man’s world” where they would leave them to be adopted or die.

If I remember correctly, this is just word for word Greek mythology. Which doesn’t make it less problematical just not original.

GODS TURN INTO ANIMALS AND FUCK PEOPLE OK

He is a loving family man! He loves his family with Hera, his family with Themis, with Metis (edit: okay technically he ate her), his family with Demeter…

Not really rough or rowdy, but I’m hoping to get my login soon because this game looks active and fun. It’s been a long time since I’ve played oWoD but Liberation’s setting looks great so I’m excited to try it out and see if I can get a character rolling

[Noraaa]

@Cygnus I’m having a lot of fun on it! One of my favorite MU* games I’ve ever played on.

Is it The Sims in a text format game or are there other things going on related to the splats/rulesets of the game?

[Gashlycrumb]

@Pan There’s stuff going on. WoD stuff. Plot stuff.

It has periodic slow patches and sometimes I feel like there’s too much model-world behind-the-scenes stuff.

It’s not perfect, but it’s quite playable and mostly fun.

[Noraaa]

@Gashlycrumb I personally enjoy the model worldbuilding and the behind the scenes things, but I think that’s very much a to-each-their-own sort of thing. It’s definitely got pound-for-pound some of the best writers I’ve encountered, too.

yooooooooo

i don’t play here but i got CONTACTS

[Pacha]

@Coin

I got sent this from the Public channel by a friend:

[Public] (o)> Polk says, “Game’s shutting odwn in 5 minutes.”
[Public] Chase “For how long?”
[Public] Bernadette says, “What did you /do/?”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “I told Thenomain to stop making fun of kinfolk.”
[Public] Chase snerk.
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “Sundance has asked me to stop hosting the game and the website.”
[Public] Chase says, “Seriously?”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “Sundance(sun) pages: At this moment, what I would like is for you to unwind your involvement here on a staff level, and return to just being a player as Ned. And to let me take over paying for everything, without you being involved OOCly anymore.”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “She can speak up for herself if she was not seroius.”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “No action has been taken yet.”
[Public] Riko says, “WHA=!”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “Ambrosia has full backups. Phantasmavore owns the domain. I’m completely dispensible.”
[Public] Cedar says, “Wait, Polk pays for everything? Thank you, Polk”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “I gave Sundance full access to back up the website months ago.”
[Public] Caroline says, “So you’re really shutting the game down?”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “Unless she changes her mind, she has kicked me out.”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “It’s her game.”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “She also called me ‘crazy’ and untrustworthy, you see.”
[Public] Caroline says, “If you’re going to do that, I’d like to make sure I have contact details from people I know here.”
[Public] Caroline says, “One person in particular is ill, and I’d like to be able to know that I can check up on them if I can’t contact them here.”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “That’s Sundance’s call, whether I am permitted to continue hosting the game.”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “But she doesn’t seem interested in speaking up.”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “She could publicly give me a vote of confidence and we could move on.”
[Public] Tak says, “Friday the 13th is in 2 more days.”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “I promised Sundance I’d host the game as long as she wanted me to.”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “No matter what people said or did to me here. I upheld that until she told me to get lost.”
[Public] Sundance says, “I never told you to get lost.”
[Public] Sundance says, “This is what I said: You paged Polk with ‘At this moment, what I would like is for you to unwind your involvement here on a staff level, and return to just being a player as Ned. And to let me take over paying for everything, without you being involved OOCly anymore.’”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “Okay.”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “my OOC involvement in the game ends now.”
[Public] (o)> Polk says, “Bye.”
[Public] Sundance says, “Then: You paged Polk with ‘What I’d like is for you to overcome your anger at me right now, and put the other players here first. And I want you to stay here as a player. But I also need you to help me transition servers in a way that doesn’t negatively affect the others. I’m asking you to do that for me as a favor for old time’s sake. You know I’ve stood up for you in the past. It’s okay to be angry at me now. But let’s not hurt the others here.’.”

Following which, the game immediately died.

@Pacha Well if his response to being asked to step back was to shut an entire game down with no chance for players to decomp or anything (who knows how long it’ll be down) sounds like Crazy and Untrustworthy are pretty spot on.

@Wyrmsign

That was my gut reaction, but my old age has taught me not to judge people too harshly when I don’t know the facts. So I will do my best to reserve judgment for now.

[Noraaa]

Hello folks.

I’m Siren, over at Liberation MUSH. We’re all doing our best to get the game back up and running. I don’t have a timeline for when it will be back up and running, but it’s a top priority for us.

I will try to update here as best I can, so folks are in the know. I’m sorry for folks who have lost touch with friends, and I mean it when I say we’re working very hard to get us back online.

[Roz]

tbf i recall sundance being warned numerous times about polk back in the MSB thread. she’s definitely right when she said in that log that she defended him a whole lot!

[Muscle Car]

Told her. Told everyone. Three months ago.

I have rarely felt such validation.

[Gashlycrumb]

@Noraaa Thank you!

I hope this one-day-to-be-a-classic bit of MU drama came at a not quite entirely infuriatingly inconvenient moment in your lives.
