Watching a known jerk continue to do jerk things in the MU* community and feeling unsure about whether it’d be the right call to just let people know that’s a known jerk. Idk, do people deserve second chances if they wanna be anonymous? … atm I’ve settled on the feeling that maybe it doesn’t really matter whether people know who they are or not, since the culprit seems eager to dig their own grave on a brand new identity anyway.

@Kestrel If the same end is accomplished without you having to get involved, then that’s probably the way to go. It spares you some unnecessary danger.

@Kestrel The only times I’ve had issues with someone, I quickly learned the other person was a known entity that others tend to avoid anyway. I think assholes have a habit of showing their true colors all on their own, and unless you’re concerned about them doing something harmful, it’s not worth worrying about.

I agree with the others, though if you know of anyone who was directly harmed by that person it may be a good idea to quietly mention the player’s identity to them specifically so they know not to get involved.

@Kestrel
Yeah, you will take a risk by talking about this person’s history. But they might be gaslighting someone at this very moment and that person might be saved a lot of pain they get the nudge away from that “Am I unhinged and judgmental, or is this person fucking with me?” feeling.

Tough call, I sez.

Peeve of the Day: When you don’t even want to be in a scene half that big and probably wouldn’t join if you had a choice, but you still feel bitter that your character can’t go. WTF, brain.

@Gashlycrumb

In my last spate of activity, I constantly kept making decisions where I’d weigh “What’s the logical scene/event my character would join or be interested in/have something to do” versus “where are all my friends at?”

I’d usually choose the former and it bit me in the ass every time.

[Gashlycrumb]

@SpaceKhomeini I usually choose the latter, but I’m always joining games as a singleton and then finding that the people I make friends with and want to play with most are in the wrong faction, so I become a terrible turncoat and get my ass bitten that way instead.

Horrified that in this day and current world climate, a game would implement “every character is infertile and the priests have control over granting fertility by giving you a magic fruit to eat” approach to what I presume is a problem that could be easily solved by “both parties need to OOCly consent to a pregnancy”.

Like, there is so much ICK behind the idea of that level of control over reproductive rights.

@mangosplitz lmao wHAT

[icanbeyourmuse]

@mangosplitz I am torn on if I want to know or not what game it is.

[hellfrog]

I’m not torn! I want to know! don’t make me spend more of my Monday guessing, I have a work backlog

[Jennkryst]

@mangosplitz I could see that as like… the reason for what happens ICly for a ‘only babies with OOC consent’ policy.

But if that is all that’s written down, there’s at least two flaws in their logic tree that I, a dumb tuba player, can think of.

[Roz]

human logic says that some asshole would just bribe a priest for a fruit and hide it in his SO’s food somehow

[hellfrog]

It’s just doing too much.

don’t be dumb, roz, priests are incorruptible forces of all that is good and moral.

everybody knows that.

how long does the fruit last to give you fertility? do you have to like, take it and then somehow time your ovulation as well? or do you not ovulate as a woman in this? are you just perma-fertile after eating the fruit?

honestly, i don’t see the big deal about ovulation. but honestly i have so many more questions than the policy answered.

40 years old? Been around ovulation all your life, maybe?

[Ashkuri]

WHAT game is this

@mangosplitz pls

lololol

[Third Eye]

On the one hand, wondering if it’s an April 1 gag.

On the other hand, really hoping it’s an April 1 gag.

The amount of time I spent searching various public game wikis for pregnancy fruit this morning is…non-zero.
