bemoaning how shitty some players were in surprising ways and I wanna know.
This one.

@Duke-Whisky
I hope you do not close… Coming from a player. But if you need help dealing with shitting people… I can help. I’m pretty good with that. Just keep your joy and imagination. -
@Duke-Whisky I also hope you don’t close. I’m just getting back to finding a smidge of time in my hectic RL. I truly think there’s a lot of potential even if I’ve had trouble with Ares games in the past.
Also I totally understand how becoming a game running and getting a glimpse behind the veil can make you feel jaded about how folks treat one another. There are more folks who aren’t creeps than there are creeps.
-
FWIW @Duke-Whisky isn’t the only one involved in Concordia so even if they were done with the game, that doesn’t mean closure. @spes is clearly still very visibly active and involved with the game.

Yossarion definitely rings a bell, so I checked my discord, and I have him blocked because he was a bit of a penis to me back when I was running CS. Maybe it is just something that person does.
Sorry that happened to you and try not to let people wear you down. Easier said than done, I know.
-
So I don’t usually engage here because it feels a bit like wading into a tank of piranha, but I wanted to pop in after scrolling back farther than was good for my heart.
(All of this written in my own words, without the help of ChatGPT

We are not closing any time soon. Quite the opposite! We have just opened several new systems, OCs have opened back up, secrets have been doled out, and Something Big is coming next week.
-
Duke and I put this game together for fun, thinking maybe a handful of people would check it out over time. The intent was certainly never to be a novel-quality masterpiece, just a little place to RP with our buddies. About an hour after opening, I think we were up to something like 50 players and went oh man, I guess we need to give people something to do while we make more rosters and wade through these OCs! I busted out ChatGPT to churn out a heckload of documentation in a short amount of time, as well as dozens of roster characters, and one vignette to give people something to interact with while we tried to get our stuff together. I know that offended people, it just never occurred to me that I would need to clearly disclose something that seemed very obvious (and temporary) to me.
-
Getting our stuff together turned out to be really hard. While I intended to go back through and rewrite all the doc (which was generated from my own writing and notes) the way I would have if I’d had the amount of time we thought we were going to, instead I ended up putting out a lot of the fires that Duke mentioned above. I am just now getting around to it, but I am glad that I used AI so that people wouldn’t have to wait endlessly for individual answers while we scrambled to keep up. I would do so again in that same situation. It’s a helpful tool, even if it is very fond of describing the resilient spirit of the tapestry of grandeur of Ignovis. I might feel bad if I were making money off of this game instead of spending money so that people can play it for free, but happily, that is not the case!
Anyway, all of this to say, we’re alive and having fun over on Concordia, the AI-generated things are gradually being replaced now that I’ve caught my breath, and the heart and soul of the game have always been human-written anyway.
If you’re still turned off, that’s ok! This was never going to be the game for everyone, and we knew that going in, but everyone is very welcome to stop by and check out our latest stuff if they’re in the mood!

@spes I appreciate the clarification. Godspeed and good luck! Lord knows there’s clearly an appetite for what you are doing.
-
Now that the player base has started to settle after that initial influx, it almost feels like there’s more plot happening than there are characters to deal with it. Which is to say, app into my House and solve our problems.
-
Yes, it is true! Things are really jumping right now.

Hey quick question who the fuck is Lucian because they’re stealing my character’s desc.

@Selira Upvote for the timely reference. Maybe hbomberguy can get to the bottom of this!
-
Yeah, who ‘wrote’ this? I mean, I know who actually wrote it. I wanna know who stole this.

you do have to kind of chuckle at the sheer gall I guess. A high profile character on what has been one of the most popular games the hobby has seen in a looong time, did they really think no one would notice? lol, wtf

(seriously, wtf)

That’s what you get for not reading all of the detailed terms and conditions allowing all of your writing to get added into the aggregate learning machine that is AI.
(j/k, I don’t believe that is a roster character, I think you probably have a fan from whatever game you wrote that desc on)

Ok. I need someone to edit that into ‘You don’t have the rite’ for immediate reaction folder additions to folks with the audacity but not the knowledge.
