      @Roadspike This is the problem with the viscous attacks. I’m immersed, in the wrong way.

          @Pavel So my wife told me about her worst day at work ever, when a young kid came into the ER with constipation, and the doc ordered a milk and molasses enema.

          Apparently it was like that scene from Daddy Daycare. You know the one.

          And yes, I created an account just to make this comment.

            While this probably is meant for the RL peeves thread. I can only hope she was not the one that had to clean up.

              I will say that lots of what people are picking out as accents, like cannae and dinnae etc aren’t actually just accents, they’re elements of Scots. A language (or dialect, depending on your definition) all its own.

              Agreed. But that kind of supports the point - we’re RPing in English. I neither speak nor understand written Scots. Just as no one should start writing all of their dialogue in Italian.

              as previously stated, good day.

                @farfalla People do look at me funny when my Danish character starts ranting to himself in Danish.

                But then, I don’t expect them to understand it and respond to it, either.

                  @Gashlycrumb That person is such a rouge.

                  Because every MU* char is a type of makeup rather than a rogue.

                    @farfalla We have a word for this: Oirish.

                    And it’s terrible in text, but you also get bad accents in voice acting, and my spouse and I use it for that as well.

                    “What sort of accent is she supposed to be doing here?”
                    “Uh, I think French? It’s Oirish-French.”

                      Why?? Why would a doctor order that?

                          @Wuff Oh, she, the nurse, and even the doctor himself took place in cleaning it up. It was definitely, DEFINITELY not a one person job.

                          The doctor would not normally ever participate in cleaning, but he felt really bad.

                          @Pavel And yes, it apparently is extremely efficacious. It worked… ohhhh did it work. The doc was so proud of himself when he prescribed it, too, because none of the med staff had heard of such a thing. They call it an ‘M and M and enema’ jokingly and because of the quasi-alliteration.

                          Anyway, yeah, didn’t mean to go all off topic. I just saw the mention of molasses and thought I’d share. I’m generous like that.

                            More of a self peeve but mu* related.

                            I wish I felt more invested in the games I play. Outside of Atharia I find it hard to feel invested in the games I play. Seven Nations has been the only one I have felt invested in for quite some time. I keep trying new places but nothing has really held me.

                            OF the games I play on:

                            Atharia: I enjoy running plots for people, be they plots for persona growth or over all game stuff. I wouldn’t mind more players but I want to keep the game decently small so I can keep doing more personalized plots. The players have been darlings and always have good thoughts to share in order to help me improve the game and make the theme more understandable. They are very good at sharing the spotlight and accept that I may not use their ideas or they may not be exactly how the want.

                            Arx: There is so much theme stuff and not all of it is easily accessible even though I keep hearing ‘This is common knowledge’ or behaviours that indicate that whatever info is being shared is. I can’t seem to connect with any of my characters truly since Sameera. I regret my decision to kill her off and would play her again (rare for me) in a heartbeat if I could. The players here are generally nice. I keep trying to be invested. I also am not the sort to aggressively get involved in plot stuff so I miss out on a lot.

                            Shangrila: Shang is… well… Shang. It is not exactly a game meant to feel invested in. It’s to get your groove on. So, I’m not surprised I lack a feeling of investment for there.

                            Seven Nations: I love my little priestess. The people who have GMed on 7N have been really great about giving my non-combat type stuff to do even in combat scenes. As in stuff that actually affects what is going on and the end goals for the scene. I don’t often run into people who will give non-combat types stuff in scenes more aimed for combat. I am waiting to see if Testament will be doing the revamps because I want to continue playing on it.

                            Still Flyin’: I love Firefly related stuff. However, the group that plays on it are long time connected and I have trouble feeling like I belong even though people do what they can to be inclusive. The 30 days delay for levelling skills (well the ‘trains’ or whatever it is) is a bit much. 1-3 days, I don’t mind (a week is pushing it a little) but 30 days is a bit much for me. Over all nice people but I don’t feel invested.

                            A whole lot of wind to say: I want to connect to more games/characters.

                              I don’t know who you play, or how long, but Arx can be HARD to learn all the theme files and all the ‘common knowledge’. I’ve played for years and I still feel like a newbie. Not a hit against the game. It’s amazing they have that much information, but I understand on the not knowing things.

                              Also, I’m trying to be more involved too. So I get that one. I don’t know about your other games though. If I can do anything on Arx. Esme is my known character there.

                                Me: Im going to RP and ST today! These errands should be done in time!

                                MIL: Hey, we didn’t take anything out for dinner, can you stop and pick up the dinner I haven’t ordered yet and everyone needs their own thing, because we have a house full of picky eaters.

                                Me: quiet sob Yes… of course….

                                  Today’s peeve is:

                                  If you have played somewhere for years and you’re not happy with it anymore, by all means, I will listen to you vent. I get it.

                                  If you just joined a game and all you want to do is bitch about it…

                                  maybe…

                                  simply do not play there?

                                    Really fighting the insecure brainworms the past few weeks and I am. Just tired and feeling bad. My brain keeps looking right past the established, meaningful, and fun IC connections I have with chill people I like to rp with to poke at the ones that just haven’t quite worked out and insist that it’s THOSE ones, those are the ones that count.

                                      I’m glum about a circumstance that I can’t really talk about with anyone and it’s just one of those things where I wish I had some no-judgment RP therapist to vent at. I feel dumb about it, but then also angry and hurt and offended and sad and scared/anxious. The answer is to walk away, but I don’t want to walk away. Meh. I’ll get over it.

                                      This isn’t a new peeve, I’m just kinda reflecting how awful I felt a month ago about a very niche situation and how the feeling has completely faded from my mind. In the end the situation walked away from me (the game fell through) so I no longer had to deal with it, lol. I’m not sure what lesson I’ve learned here. 😐 I guess everything is fleeting.
