      @Kestrel said in MU Peeves Thread:

      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.

      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.

        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.

            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.

            I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
            I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
            I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

              @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 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.

                              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.

                                      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.

                                      I want something else to get me through this
                                      Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
                                      I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye

                                        clearly you insert the fruit and the coitus must occur through it

                                            Sadly, I don’t think it’s a gag. Was posted over the weekend.

                                            https://concordiamu.aresmush.com/wiki/society:ferility_children

                                            "Laypeople are not permitted to grow the Evenplum tree, ensuring that the clergy maintains strict control over the fruit’s availability and distribution.

                                            That said, it is very likely that many Untamed tribes have access to or have their very own trees."

                                            I guess the “savages” can do what they want, and have unregulated population control?
