@farfalla If I hadn’t done dark fantasy post-apocalyptic, I would’ve done Sci fi post-apocalyptic. I was very torn because I really miss space based games.
-
Someone get me working space trucker code and body swap/stat change code, and I’ll have an Eclipse Phase game set up as soon as someone also hand-holds me through setting it up.
-
I got an Evennia box up for a space game.
Now I just need to do everything else. Easy. I’m basically half done.

@Tez I wish I had the gumption to code my homebrew from an Evennia base install. Stupid imposter syndrome.

Don’t worry. If BEING GOOD AT THINGS or KNOWING WHAT I AM DOING was ever a prereq for doing, I would never do anything.

@Tez Just don’t run HSpace.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

i just want a comic game that’s actually based on the comics but i think that those like just flatly do not exist anywhere anymore

@Prototart Based in what way?
-
If there’s one thing I like about comics it’s their consistency and sense.

like, at least vaguely holding to canon in some way and maybe resembling the actual medium instead of replacing it entirely with an 800 page fanfic magnum opus that is clearly superior bc while fools might waste time assembling lettuce and meat and cheese and bread to form a burger the true genius understands you can put them all into a blender
that would be a neat start

Get rid of that lettuce, and you have an A+ burger shake, no further notes.

@Prototart I’m of mixed minds. There are some parts of continuity that suck and should be forgotten forever or retconned into subversion. On the other hand, there’s also way too much cringe in how people, I dunno, give Starfire a job as a stripper who’s also a call girl after hours.
Who gets to decide what’s an interesting change and what’s silly? I wouldn’t want that job, but no one’s recruiting me for it, so that’s lucky. I’ll definitely leave that to you.

there was some game I was on forever ago that had a rule that I’m pretty sure was literally called “nobody cares what iceman did in Champions” and I’ve always really liked that, like, shit from 40 years ago is basically just not relevant at all unless it’s super important or you actually want it to be

I miss Ares.
Not just all the convenient bits of code and support, although god do I miss those, but the atmosphere and less stressful sense of ‘we’re playing a game’ that seems more common on Ares games than on other games. A bit more interest in collaboration and risk-taking.

Also (vague post sorta)
REALLY?! Come on. I’m starting to think I have a creeper join here flag on me. Also, I really need to trust myself more when I’m thinking ehhh that seems a bit off and not excusing it with new player/IC relationship expectation/just overly excited person without social clues.

I think a lot of absolute weirdos rely on that to get by. When you call them out on whatever thing they’re doing that’s offputting, they’ll tell you that they’re new or excited. The problem is that some people genuinely ARE new and even going from a MUD to a MUSH format can be a real culture shift that can be hard to adjust to. And they take advantage of people’s willingness to give folks slack for those instances.
And that sucks. Because eventually people get burned of that and they stop giving genuinely new folks chances because you start thinking all new people are just full of it and some repeat ban offender.

I think what got me about this last was negative ooc complaining at a constant and somewhat inappropriate (in the sense of directing that venting at someone not known well) level right off the bat. To an exhausting level. I chalked it up to me being intolerant/less able to handle stuff due to RL stress/feeling stretched thin. I suppose it was borderline reportable at the time but it wasn’t creeper stuff and again I was worried I was just being oversensitive. (Which could have been the case anyway).
But I have had a few people ping me as off lately for reasons that I can’t put my finger on and I do feel bad bc its made me avoidant where usually I would love stepping up to help if desired, because its not to the level I feel comfortable officially reporting and I mean let’s face it, my tolerance level is way way lower than my norm.
