MU Peeves Thread
-
If someone told me they got banned for asking for RP, I think my first question would be “what kind of RP were you asking for,” tbh. That said, I do sort of see why the person in @mietze’s example would get banned because that sounds hella disruptive. On one hand I can see the call to ask for RP, have someone agree and then getting cold feet, but it seems like this person was just engaging in a kind of whinging attention seeking based on the description.
My personal peeve these days, as an aside, is having basically zero free time to actually MUSH while actively engaging on a couple MUSH discords to keep up with some friends. I’m feeling this constant pull and still having ideas for characters.

@Cobalt said in MU Peeves Thread:
Oh, now I remember why I don’t go to new games. The overwhelming feeling that I am not welcome anywhere. (This is nothing anyone has done or said to me, this is my own brain being an asshole to me.)
scribbles note Write… specific characters… for Cobalt… got it.

Being out of the hobby for so long that you’ve mixed up one mush-related forum website with another mush-related forum website when you want to poke your head in to check in with how things are going.
I’m getting old.

@Wizz To be fair, I think the other website is gone. How do I know, because I was trying to remember a name of this website and typed in the other one.

@Testament lol just ask me next time, I would help you!

Waiting for over a week for any sort of feedback on a character application. With the hobby being as small as it is, you’d think that games would be chomping at the bit to try and get their hooks in to new blood.

I figure that everyone is just settling back into their RL routines after the holidays, not to mention re-figuring out time for their hobbies too.

Also, this is not a peeve. I don’t actually have a MU peeve. This is a MU sad sorta. To me.
I have been playing in this hobby longer than some of you have been alive (that’s sad on a different level for me) and I think this year I’ve decided to step away from it.
There is no drama. There is no hard feelings. My life just doesn’t fit around it anymore. As well as play not being available to keep me invested. This is NOT a gripe. It’s my ADHD brain that wanders and fills my time if not occupied. I’m just a little sad to think my MU* time might be just done. I know it will always be there to come back to and I’m sure I’ll lurk on this site because I have a sick fascination with it. It’s just hard to put into words. Like … oh… but that oh holds so much.
That said. I got to spend the last year or so catching back up with people that I haven’t spoken to in years. I got to hear how their RL lives are going and see how their story telling (and mine) have changed. I got to get giddy running into people that do actually cross my mind from time to time. So I’m pretty excited about that and if I have RPed with you this last year. I have ENJOYED it. If I have paged you, I feel HONORED to catch up and I feel undeserving to those that got excited to meet back up with me.
No matter our differences and our opinions and sometimes our toxic rightness, I appreciate the people of this community.
I’m just in my feels about this realization and I’m just sharing to people who might understand (my RL people are not MU* people).
So in conclusion to my brain dump
you all! -
@RightMeow It’s a big step to take, but the most important part is making a choice to steward yourself, whatever shape that takes. And no shame if you dip back in later, just enjoy the power of the moment you’re in, whenever that moment is happening.

@RightMeow The chance I had to RP with you in the past was a lot of fun. What I’ve come to learn is that the paths we choose are usually not right or wrong, since none of us have a crystal ball that can predict the future. If you feel it is the right path, then embrace it fully because you never know where it will take you. You also don’t know if it may eventually lead you back to MUs again in the future.
I know at one point I thought I had stepped away and I did for a bit of time, but surprisingly I found my way back. So I definitely wish you the best on where you choose to go and I’m sure if you choose to return, there will be people who welcome you back.

People who primarily hang out in the foyer not playing the game, talking about their personal lives, and making snipey remarks to newbies because they’re friends with the mods
