@sao said in MU Peeves Thread:
@Bessarion If all of this is sincere, and a mistake, etc – why do you have a rule on your game against doing this exact thing that you appear to be doing?
This surprised me not at all. This behavior is gross. Literally had to ban someone from Arx for doing this same exact shit. I support fresh starts but it’s not a fresh start if you go right back to doing this shit that ruined your reputation in the first damned place.
Also, it’s different between coming back as a player on the down low and coming back as a game runner. I don’t think you needed to announce your return as a player as long as you are making every effort to avoid people that you absolutely know don’t want anything to do with you. As a game runner, in order to foster trust, transparency is required to some degree. Hiding who you are isn’t transparent and this was always going to lead to your players feeling deceived because it was more important to you to have a fresh start than for you to care that people you hurt deserve to know who they are dealing with.

Peeve. I’m feeling left behind by this hobby. I’m discouraged that it feels like in order to play on any of the games where my friends play, I’d have to compromise my comfort and place my trust in people who… I haven’t experienced being all that cool. And I think I feel it even more because for a minute, I had a relatively active little rp bubble before folks moved on to the next thing.
-
@helvetica Aw man, this is a sucky feeling. I’m sorry.
-
I feel left behind in the games on a level that I just can’t seem to find the time or the people to RP with. I use to have a whole circle, so I get it.
Also please don’t compromise your comfort or trust. It has never led a person to great things. Maybe you could Discord RP? I hear people do that. Then you don’t have to set up a MU* and it can be just people you trust.
I hope you feel more interested and invested.

@KarmaBum dammit YOU are the sock puppet not me, I am a bear in a bat suit.
@Pyrephox said in MU Peeves Thread:
@KarmaBum Now I feel like if we ever saw a photo of you two, it’d be like…ALMOST the same photo, but with enough unsettling details different that it just wigs the viewer out.
I had to throw this mental image into DALL-E to see how faithfully it’d recreate it. Spoilered for people who gets disturbed by AI imagery.
Edit: That wasn’t the image I meant to pick out but it works all the same. Your bond is unbreakable.

@Jumpscare Oh god and also, accurate

Every time someone makes a reference to something I don’t recognize and I have to remind them I never set foot on Arx and I have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about –
And then they try to explain with another Arx-related reference
-
Yeah, man, fuck those Arx people. They are just so annoying.

Should I…should I post the thing?

@Testament We need a Don’t Don’t Don’t Arx sign.

@SpaceKhomeini RIGHT?!!?!

@helvetica I can relate to this. I’m 50. I started mushing at 20, when I was immortal, infertile and insomniac. Stay up til 3 am and still get to classes with bows on? Damn skippy!
Now? I can’t stay up that late and function at work. All of my friends, new and old, seem to be up at all hours, like the good old days… and stuff’s happening while I sleep. Hate that feeling of being left behind.

And back to petty peeves:
You enter a common command, say, @mail/toss and the MUSH tells you ‘use @mail/abort instead’ and you wonder why anybody would take the trouble to code that but not just make both commands work. Is the latter not actually the same or less work?
-
@Gashlycrumb Five commands that do the same thing.
