So it can behoove a game runner to cultivate the overall culture they want to encourage in their game.
I think we’re mostly on the same page and just splitting hairs over wording.
If a game is mostly run in EST and you’re in Euro time, it’s going to be hard for you to find RP and that’s probably not the right game for you. I personally don’t consider that the “culture” of the game. Mostly because it could change on a dime if just a couple of Euro players turn up and suddenly it’s easier to find RP.
That said, I understand your point, and apart from quibbles over terminology I largely agree.

Wouldn’t be a forum conversation without quibbling over semantics!

My brain won’t shut the fuck up and let me sleep, but it’s also so fried that I’m not using any of that stolen sleep time to do anything I actually want to do. A month where I’m losing a full night every three days-ish is not cool and I would like to speak to the manager and get a refund on this brain, it’s clearly defective.
Anyhow, it gets in the way of RP related things and I don’t like it.

@kalakh Also, me on any building request:
-
Player X decided my character looks like a certain porn star and decided to bring that to my friend, Player A. “This porn star looks like (me) amirite haha”
Is it wildly inappropriate for X to be doing that to me/to Player A, or am I being over sensitive?
I don’t want to be discussed in a porn context, what the fuck.
-
@imstillhere No that’s gross

If you weren’t using a porn star as a played-by, then no. No, not appropriate.

Next game I’m using Johnny Sins as a PB.
And far more seriously. That’s in terrible taste @imstillhere which really sucks. And kind of, no is really weird.

Maybe I’m just getting old and grumpy but that is inappropriate yes, but imo it is also weird that was shared with you without a “and then I told them I thought that was gross and inappropriate to say out of the blue.” And preferably a “I also reported it.”
This is mostly grumpiness though because I also don’t think anyone should be shamed for not reporting really. Its just that ime tale bearers who don’t also speak up tend to get something out of it thats no good or may be running a game of their own.
Maybe its like if the effort is made to tell the target of that weirdness hopefully the targeted was also told dude thats not cool. But hopefully they did! Its a way that can sometimes get creepers to leave you alone when you turn around and critique their attempt to mock/critique someone else to you.

@mietze I’m with you, here. If someone came to me about one of my friend’s character’s looking like a porn star I would probably like ‘yo that’s gross stop it or I’ll report you to staff’.
-
@Cobalt and also “why the fuck are you telling ME this?” too!!!
But again, i’m deep in grumpyland tonight. I think a soft majority of times I’ve ever had anyone out of the blue say “so and so is saying this weird thing about you.” and leave it at that–they were full of shit and trying to play people off each other, telling each of them the other was saying crazy things about the other one.
But most of the time it’s probably not like that.

When somewhere between working up the nerve to say “can you take one more?” and hitting enter the scene goes private.
It’s cool. I’ll try again next month.

@KarmaBum said in Concordia: A Lord & Ladies Ares Game:
No, you didn’t. You made a side-handed, presumptive comment rather than address the concern or bring up a question.
I didn’t think I needed to pass it through a UN speechwriter. Sorry not sorry that it didn’t pass your standards. I’m not sure why you’re on my jock so much and feel the need to make snide comments wherever I post, but I meant what I wrote and I meant what I asked.
As others have mentioned, they noticed too. I didn’t even question the policy. Its their game and they can do what they want. I was glad for the clarification though. Apparently, others were too.
My point was that I was surprised that no one else had brought up something that was very noticeable to me and asked was that something that was just common in the genre.
Because it’s not the first time you’ve busted into a thread, made some hamfisted comment where you don’t know wtf you’re talking about.
