    Yes, that was me walking around as Juliana Pravus with dice telling fortunes and taking secrets.

      Honestly, the ending times at Arx have been such a positive community experience. Even people that I’ve never really jived with - it doesn’t matter, everyone is in this together, I love watching all the big event scenes, seeing years of play hit these culminating points. Obviously nothing is perfect, but the feel of being part of a community and all of us caring about the same ending is really powerful and a great note for a game I’ve played on for a long time to go out on. Thanks to everyone for vibing. ❤

      P.S. BAT!!!

      let it be a challenge to you

        Joining a new game and battling the social anxiety of having a scene with people I’m not familiar with. And it all going well!

        I’m one of those people who is constantly frightened of venturing into unknown territory. I do it! But it’s scary af so it’s nice when it pays off.

          I have never smoked cigarettes IRL. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve even smoked pot. Cigarettes in real life are smelly, they make people and places smelly, and I would not want to date a smoker.

          BUT.

          For some reason, I love RPing a smoker. I love the visuals of it. I haven’t gotten to do it in a good while but I have one again and it just makes me happy.

            @Roz I’m a former smoker, and I only started RPing smokers so I’d have something for my character to do that wasn’t talking. I’m still terrible at flicking between motion/action and dialogue. They’ll talk talk talk talk, break, do several things, then talk talk talk talk some more.

              @Roz I think its the same reason that so many great stage and screen characters smoke, and the same reason @Pavel mentioned – it’s a great thing to do with your hands. You can alter how it’s done to indicate emotion, distraction, pain, or something else, and it’s something to //do//.

              I remember hearing somewhere that people on stakeouts or casing a joint often smoke, because no one questions (questioned?) a smoker standing outside in front of a building, but if you’re lingering around doing nothing, it’s suspicious.

                A few other reasons why smoking is handy for stakeouts:

                • Nicotine works as a stimulant that’s easier to maintain than coffee, with fewer trips to the bathroom needed
                • It works to keep hunger pangs to a minimum, which means even fewer bathroom trips and support mechanics for long hours
                • By covering the “cherry” you can cut the visual profile down to nearly nothing, although the smell is sometimes a problem
                • Most smokers ignore other smokers unless they need a light
                • You can use a cigarette balanced between two fingers lengthwise to keep yourself awake; the cigarette, upon burning down, scorches into the meat of the finger and jolts someone awake
                • It’s an easy reason to hang out by loading docks, security doors, and major entryways, while spare-changing will draw unwanted attention

                To name a few reasons of the many.

                  I used to date a smoker and while I never smoked myself, I kinda enjoyed the culture of it.

                  Then I married him and he quit 😁

                    One of my favorite, most fun characters I ever RPed was my bulldog prosecutor lady who was an unrepentant chain smoker.

                      We are obviously overlooking the main reason to play a smoker… the ability to set your annoyance’s stuff on fire.

                      Right?

                      Is this just me?

                        I played smokers because that was during the time where I was still smoking myself. And man…I really miss smoking and RPing sometimes. It really helped me think. Holding a pen while I construct a pose just isn’t the same.

                          @Testament Yeah, I am with you on this one. I used to RP smoking all the time as a former smoker. Now I find that RPing smoking is one of the few things that gives me big cravings again so I just stopped, but I kinda miss RPing about it, weirdly.

                            I loved RPing smokers but fuckin’ hated smoking cigarettes the few times I gave them a try as an adult, so I was genuinely baffled the entire time even as I had fun with it.

                            truly, we are a diverse lot, lol.

                                          I saw a tweet today about the historic MUD genre and laughed.

                                          I think people don’t know that we’re still around.
