My current MUSH pet peeve is being an ST for a WoD game and trying to come up with horrific contexts and situations, with whatever nightmare scenario that I come up with in my head immediately being outpaced by something happening in RL.

Maybe this is less of a MUSH pet peeve and more of an existential cry for help, though.

In 2020, we had to scrap/put on indefinite hiatus a major plot line on Arx involving a big bad that was looking to unleash a magical plague. Then a few months later we quickly closed out a more minor plot involving city riots.

Those weren’t the only times we’d start some story that was then followed by somewhat similar real world events, to the point that it became a running joke. So if the whole world ends up being devoured by a godkiller demon made entirely of smiling mouths, our bad.

@kalakh Don’t you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby!

@kalakh Yeah, we had to stop a major plot involving the assassination attempt on a polarizing political leader in the summer of 2024. It was a real Apollo’s Gift of Prophesy moment, a bunch of others too. This hobby frightens me at times…

If you’ve been turned away from a game, or know that you’re probably not welcome on a game-- DON’T SNEAK ONTO THEM.

there have been witch hunts to find me on games I have not logged into for years or never logged on to at all, which i find grimly amusing

This is especially funny on games with bans that aren’t permanent, but become permanent if you try to sneak on.

It wasn’t me either. I’m too muppet flail mode and focused elsewhere to sneak anywhere. Even at speed.

(I just wanted an excuse to mention a .)

It just takes so much effort to get to a place where you’re not wanted, and anyone who realizes it’s you is going to know that you’re doing illicit shit
