Agreed! While I get that sometimes someone constantly posing how hot their character is (especially if it is in a very shallow and uninteresting way) can be annoying, it is also very annoying to constantly have an aspect of your character’s backstory or a trait/merit/advantage you spent XP or points or the equivalent on get ‘no sold’ by every PC you run into.

ohhhhh, here it comes.
i can feel it.
rearing its ugly hydra-like head.
that would-be mythical but all-too real mu-forum discussion topic…
… the dreaded …
are social stats worth having and if so is it okay to use them on other PCs?
i thought we left that one over on MSB but hell.
In Occam I trust.

@Coin Wow, that was a clearly thought out, and well-worded response. Please +roll your social skill to see if it worked.

Ooooh, I’m sorry, better luck next time.
Hey @Wuff let’s make out?

@Coin Yes and yes (in most cases). Social characters are great and have just as an important part in games as characters that can punch things really well.
It’s fine if people use social stats on my characters as long as it’s something like “hey you should consider supporting this cause” instead of something like “hey your character should kiss mine”.
There’s a whole system for social “combat” in CofD.
There’s nothing bad/wrong/etc. about playing a pretty/social character. My eye roll/side eye was at people using it (and only it, not as part of one) as a RP hook.

@Coin I wasn’t going to go that far, but since you went there, I will say that I think if the game is designed around it and everyone is onboard, and it’s specifically designed to avoid “I roll to get in your pants,” then I think social skills have a great place in a MU* (I would have a hell of a fun time with an FS3 Regency MU* with a social combat system instead of a physical combat system, for instance).
But if the game isn’t designed with all that in mind, I think it’s best to keep it to rolling vs NPCs only.

@Coin We could always just link.

IN MY DEFENSE, I checked with @Wuff about making this joke before I posted it.

You just read old threads here, because reliving old drama is only fun because the MU landscape is rather quiet these days? I mean, not a lot of drama. Which is probably good for a change of pace.

I also think a lot of players are lost in Final Fantasy atm.

@ten I don’t have the strength of will to get into another MMO. I lost four years to Elder Scrolls Online to that.
But I respect those that do.

I get motion sickness from moving too fast, I can’t play an MMO like that. but, that’s the general vibe I’ve been getting regarding the quiet lull in drama.
All are united in a secondary hobby.

I’ve been FFXIV-ing by my lonesome and I’d probably rather be RPing. Like the game is fun, but I’m terrible at staying invested in single player games and that’s what it feels like I’m playing.
My MU peeve tax is that I’m not sure I’m feeling my fav character lately, but the thought of starting and integrating a new one (even with a concept I’m excited about!) also feels meh.

I’ve just gotten dumped on so much in the past year that I’m about done.
