    Hearing someone sharing a story about one of their favorite scenes ever from a few years ago on a game you recently joined, and realizing it was a scene that you ran as a ST that stuck with them this long.

      Encountering and reconnecting with an awesome player who you knew 19+ years ago on a completely different genre of MU*.

      It just seems like complete fantastic serendipity.

      And then playing with them and discovering that not only are they just as good as you remember, but are actually better. Their RP has improved!

        RPing with someone who you can do comedy with and is able to roll with your dumb one liners as you giggle to yourself.

        @Nilli you know who you are

                @Jumpscare Naw, it’s the same shit, but it’s no longer considered wankery to punish players for pointing at it.

                  I’m trying to parse this. Are you saying that you think it’s no longer considered a bad thing if a player is punished for what they say about a game on forums and such?

                    @Roz Yes.

                    Sorry, though, it’s not the thread for it. I was being implusive.

                      Finding out someone I felt uncomfortable with, but not uncomfortable enough to openly voice my objections to:

                      1. Actually has a known history of much more serious permutations of this behaviour on other games
                      2. Was already shown the door on my current game without me needing to say anything

                      Thank u yes I knew I wasn’t just crazy, and I am so happy to know I’m now playing on a game with safe, healthy, vigilant staff.

                        Today someone AMBUSHED ME (idk if you’re on the forums but you know who you are if you read this) with a link to a website for a game I played around 2012-2018. It was run by a head wiz who became a close IRL friend and who passed away in 2019. I had no idea the site was even still up.

                        What a kick in the feels. All the old logs are there, and our snapshots of funny ooc moments, and our pictures and playlists. There are lots of captures of jokes and stories and fun moments of my friend who’s no longer with us, and other friends as well, some I still talk to, some I don’t.

                        I am so grateful and I am so sad. MUSH is such a strange medium in the way it can feel so all-encompassing at the time, and then enough time goes by and it’s just a little snapshot of how things were, and who you were then, and all the fun times you had writing stories with other people way too late into the night.

                        Really, really grateful and sad.

                          Haven’t been active on a game in awhile, but my hope is that this has or will become more normalized. Like, as a staffer, it’s one thing if you get one report (which is probably the last straw after 27 different incidents) and you have to wade through a “they said/they said” situation. It’s quite another when you’ve got a half-dozen people all reporting uncomfortable situations.

                            I don’t think this person posts here (Cayric? You out there?), but if they are… ❤ ❤

                            I’m having one of those nice moments as a storyteller where something I just randomly dropped in a scene on a whim has ballooned into a wee plot, and one of the players swept up in the story happily surprised me and tied the whole thing back into the metaplot in such a way that it even filled in a plothole for me. 🙂
