If I am to be executed, I request that it be done properly. Rifles at dawn.

Why is it never cannons, or mortar shell??? If I had to go out that way, I’d want it to be metal as hell and get O B L I T E R A T E D

…okay, fair point. Getting blown away by a cannon at close range would be a very metal way of going out.

That is an execution method in North Korea, I believe.
ETA: Additionally, “blowing from a gun” is… well worth a read.

Oof. “Often resulting in death” is never what you want to hear.
-
@Wizz I dunno, I’ve had a cannon or two blow my back out without resulting in death…

@Pavel pls, i was drinking coffee when i read this.

@Testament said in MU Peeves Thread:
All I know is that I’ve done shit and it took me multiple lessons to figure my shit out. I’ve been there. I get it. Not everyone learns the first time and to imply otherwise is a lie.
It’s not my job to be someone else’s learning experience and I don’t have to accept it or forgive it.
-
@farfalla I’m talking for me in that statement, based on my own past history, not other people. If I cannot be empathetic to that, when I know that I have behaved in similar vein the past, then that makes me an asshole and a hypocrite.
Anyone else’s experiences are valid to them, along with their reactions to it. This is simply my experience and the lessons I’ve taken from it.
-
You’re not a terrible person for being friends with her and giving her another chance, and I don’t think anyone thinks you are!
I think other people might be concerned that you’re judging them for not, which is why the edge-of-defensive reactions. I know you’re not actually meaning to be interpreted that way, though. These are tricky situations to navigate through for everybody.
-
@IoleRae I’m not, no. That’s not my intent, and if thats hiw it comes off then i apologize. I think my main goal is doing for someone what was not done for me. Which is trying to help someone who at least seems to be aware of their issues are caused by their own actions. Self awareness is needed. Maybe I’ll get burned for that. Maybe I won’t, not up to me.
All I know is that i had to figure out my own mistakes on my own and that was a long road to betterment. I just don’t want another person that I consider a friend having to go through that by themselves. Because I know they’re not a bad person, just make bad decisions.
-
@Testament As long as you knowing they’re not a bad person is also a personal opinion, then there’s nothing wrong with forgiving or giving second chances. But the people who don’t agree with you aren’t wrong, either.
The Culture of Forgiveness is strong and, imo, hugely destructive. Forgiveness is morally neutral and I will die on this hill.
-
@farfalla I mean, our perspective on who’s a decent person and who isn’t is usually built by personal experiences, all of which is valid for that person. I know not everyone is going to universally agree, and thats perfectly okay. There’s still people on this site who haven’t set aside things I’ve done. And that’s fine, that’s their cross to bear at this point.
But suppose I also equate a lot of mush drama with the same scrutiny of Twitter beefs. That is to say, not nearly as relevant(yes, I know, this isn’t always the case).
So yes, forgiveness can be destructive, i agree. But I also believe it depends on the situation. The history, the evidence of changing behavior, the ability to improve, make amends, ect ect.
-
@Wizz Apparently “tied to the muzzle of a double-shotted cannon and blown to bits” was a thing in the late 1700s and early 1800s.
ETA: …and Pavel got there before me.

I sat down to maybe try figure out a character for City of Shadows and get back into the whole MUing thing again. But it has only reminded me that WoD (specifically new, but probably also old?) chargen drives me crazy.
There are so many attribute dots and skill dots to assign even for your freshly made 0exp character. Like I know that Player Characters in many RPG systems are intended to be ‘notably better than your average person’ by design, and I certainly never had a problem with it in D&D or Pathfinder. But something about the modern earth setting, or maybe the social aspect of MUs, just seems to make me want to make characters that feel like they could be normal people (who just happen to have weird supernatural powers) rather than like secretly olympic-level (m)athletes or whatever.
It’s such a silly little problem to have, but gosh darn it if it doesn’t happen to me every damn time.
Anyways, just to be doubly clear: Not an issue with City of Shadows, just me bitching about WoD chargen in general.

Feeling like you are dropping every ball and letting everyone down sucks, even if you know life goes on. I feel like a crappy RPer anyway of late, but its frustrating to fall on my face right now in particular when rl too is just relentless.
-
@mietze Please don’t feel bad because your RL is being a huge butt. We’ve all been there and are sometimes still there. It’s okay.
-
@mietze I hope stuff gets better for you!
