It seems I was slightly mistaken about what CoD books I own, I do have the CtL 2e book as well. Hrmm… this gives me more to consider.

Moved the discussion here, out of the City of Shadows advertising thread.

So are all the spheres equally active, or are some more active than others?
-
@MisterBoring By census we have a pretty even division. I’d say we’re almost more active during work day hours, and then pick up again from about 7-11p EST. I was digging into getting vamp mischief going when I got this stupid cold. Charon and I (Lilith) run a bunch of plot, and the other staff come in and run stuff when rl lets them breathe (Impergium has a doozy of a plot planned for Wolf when his work lets up a bit, for example). Changeling staff has more PST type hours, swinging through to ST regularly from about 8:30p til 11/11:30 or so. She has two different plots going, and is working on a way to include our UK 'lings with a play-by-post/email accommodation. I try to run a mix of different types of scenes, as does Charon, from personal one-on-one scenes to ‘any splat welcome’.
Activity-wise, there’s been a pretty steady 2-3 public scenes happening the last week - we’ve hit that tipping point where we’re not leading the charge so much as there’s enough story built up and connections made to start really self-sustaining. I think vamp might be the lower activity of the spheres, just because they seem to have more scattered online times than ling and wolf do. And even our M/M+ are pretty active and digging into plot and getting cool scars.
Are you looking for a particular flavor of play? We’ve got the territory system mini-game, the coins and the resources you can trade, and some pretty big plot balls slowly rolling about to spool smaller plots off of. There’s a lot of layers of nuance, and I am happy to try and help anyone get a handle on it.

Everybody get your betting slips out for the over/under pool.
Hey, uh… what is the possibility of adding Mummy: the Curse to this wholesome CoD game, since 2e Mummy has been kickstarted and shipped to backers?
Edit for NEW timestamp and results
TWO DAYS, FIVE HOURS, TWELVE MINUTES
See your bookies for your winnings.
-
@Jennkryst Probably not. I’ve never read any of the Mummy variants, and I find the hard part of ‘I want to play X’ is no one wants to Staff X, cause they want to play it. That, and we’ve only been open for 2 months and are hammering out things. Adding another sphere this early in just wouldn’t work - no time until the giant to-do list get beaten into submission.
Edit: Fixed typos

@Taika Boo, but fair.
-
That reminds me that I need to get Mummy the Curse 2e next time I have spending money.

Also I’m one of their codey data-entry guys. And I’d refuse to do it just to spite you.
-
Just bumping to see if this game is still active in any capacity
-
I don’t think so, I just logged on with a guest bit and it is empty. I made the mistake of doing a quick +bbnew and there is an ad up for what looks like an underage sex mush, so I can only assume it is going unmonitored.
-
@Pacha Is it that hiromi or whatever about the girl that was stolen or sometihng? And they are like ‘Anything goes!’ for policy?
-
@Pacha Yeah, someone made the rounds to advertise for that a while back, and everywhere that was active jumped on it to delete the ad and ban the IP address. So it sounds like City of Shadows has been dead for a while.
-
Where is the ad exactly? The bb looks to be bone-dry to me and that’s a guest account login. Feel free to show that refuting screencap, though.
-
@OnceWas Someone has since cleared the entire board.
WARNING: Cursing, questionable text-based content, etc.
-
@Istus
When was that ad posted, because I’m not seeing it in the game? -
@OnceWas It was present at 10:00am EST today. As I said, someone has since gone in and wiped the entire board as there was more than just this advertisement in there.
-
I know the headwiz is on here so they may have very well just seen someone mention it and gone “ew gross” and hopped on just to clear it off.
-
It was posted a few months back on several games. I’m looking for bbposts talking about banning the person who put it up.
Edit to update: It was on or around June 24th, because that is when CoH put up this post:
-
Hi there. I did consider taking a screencap of the ad, but I didn’t necessarily want to paste it here because the whole thing was gross and tasteless.
My default position was that any reputable game owner would remove such an ad if they had seen it. Therefore, I assumed the game was not being actively monitored, as the ad had not been removed. Sorry if I was insufficiently clear about that in my post. I did not mean to suggest in any way the game owners would endorse such a game.
I don’t have the ad logged or anything as I literally just popped on to check for the person who had asked, as I used to have a character there. But, the copy of the ad that was posted since is the one I saw when I logged in earlier.
I am not sure if your original post was meant to suggest that you thought I was being dishonest about it, but that is one way someone could read your post. I don’t have any reason to lie about it, though.
If my original post has prompted the game owner to go in and cleanse that ad since, then that can only be a good thing as far as I am concerned.
Sorry for any confusion about that.
