Hey @LeeRoyBatty, when can we run a FATAL game?
He/Him. Opinions and views are solely my own unless specifically stated otherwise.

@Pavel
well i haven’t coded in the anal circumference inference model yet so we’re looking at at LEAST Q4 -
@labsunlimited I’ve had a lot of fun with it, but that was many years ago. Lots of people still want to play and not all of them are assholes, but it seems to have it’s own quite specific community problems in MUSHland.
Might be one, and thank you Mr. Coen.

I have to say I did eventually give this place a try, and I didn’t have the greatest time with the staff there either.
I didn’t interact with Vincent, but I do remember seeing Eddie’s player being absolutely awful to him on the channel. To be clear, that player was not permanently banned for harassment (which is how I would interpret “banned” in my thought) but instead was temporarily banned for one week.
I did mostly enjoy my time on this game, and the players were a lot of fun, even if my time there ended on a sour note. My findings were that the staff are very interested and supportive, until they decide not to be any more, after which it took a rather sharp downturn.

@Pavel The FATAL game comes after their current MU Coding project.

Primogen Samuel thought our Domain was the territory of the Werewolves. It was not.
Hey there, just for clarification, Primogen Samuel’s PLAYER was mistaken because he was in a fuckton of work related stress (still is) and misremembered the wrong park. Human error from a player’s perspective, not the character. The character would have obviously known it was Memorial park, not Sam Huston…if I haven’t messed it up again.

I considered it, and then heard via grape vine that one of the staffers there is the player of an insufferable, game-destroying PC leader on Liberation, who greets new PCs by insulting them and informing them that he’ll betray them in a heartbeat for half a stale Necco wafer, does not reward them for anything they do, ignores plot hooks rather than distribute plot (resulting in the threat fizzling away and him keeping the ‘secret’ as supposedly he’s got more Influence than most PCs have sheet, and thus has Too Big To Fail plot-armour), threaten-brags on channel about how many PKs he’s committed, orders other players around as if he’s not just staff (which he’s not, on Lib) but staff in a world where “staff” means “the boss of you and excused from having basic manners,” and whinges that nobody likes him.
MUs are fraught with wankery even when run by people who don’t have PCs that are object lessons in how to make the game suck for others.

Honestly my limited experience of Retro did remind me a great deal of old WoD MUs so in that instance of being ‘retro,’ it’s doing an excellent job

My unsolicited verdict-
@Cygnus, you really should learn how to communicate your grievances in a way that doesn’t make an enemy out of literally everyone, and also figure out which of them are valid and which need to be let go.
Others should be a little less mean towards people with characters that are too special, unique, edgy, whatever. Because those encompass a lot of people. Most people want to be special in some way, sometimes tactfully and sometimes… not. I think we all get to have more fun when we’re not veering aggressively away from being “cringe”.

Honestly. The “mean girls” attitude that’s creeped into a few different nerd/geek and adjacent spaces is exhausting.

The vast majority of players in our hobby understand how to make unique special characters without trying their damnedest to drive it into everyone’s faces at 100 miles an hour.
