@Testament Better to have tried and failed,

But is it really a failure? @Testament ran a game, had fun for awhile, made stories. Sounds like a success to me. No game lasts forever, and I wish you the best of luck in your future games.

@RedJellyBean said in MU Peeves Thread:

Having a scene with someone and them not posing for days and giving various reasons, yet you know they’re RPing with someone else on another place the entire time, as well as other games.

Just say “hey it looks like you’ve been pretty busy and this scene is getting stale, let’s FTB and you can grab me again when you have more time?” And call it a day.

No sense in letting your brain weasels eat you alive.

I think my favorite part about all of this is how this person’s character couldn’t be a Mary Sue because he’s a MAN WRITTEN BY A MAN!!! or something. IDK, this is all ridiculous.

@tsar said in Bannings:

tbh I’m amazed at the fortitude anyone has to read Ghost’s giant long posts. I hear them referenced and I go to look because I’m curious and I usually get a couple of lines in and I’m like

“Here’s a well-spoken and well-crafted argument” … proceeds to word vomit across the board nonsensically while skirting along the “very clear” rules in order to attack - but not PERSONALLY!!! attack - people who cannot defend themselves because they are banned.

You know what it would take to repair the community? Nothing. The community isn’t broken, MSB is.

This is kinda like sad and just seems borderline uncomfortable to be talking about this person so can we just not?

I just want to say since it’s apparent that Ghost is reading that it is against the SPIRIT OF THE RULE of the new MSB to continue to personally attack the banned, particularly when they cannot respond directly to those personal attacks.

I’m glad however they found their safe place to apply the rules only to those they dislike and can continue circle jerking about how great and POSITIVE they are while shitting on everyone who cannot defend themselves.

So since this is the second time in extremely recent MSB history that I’ve been either @tted at (despite being banned) or had my quote from here used as an example for how awful BMD is, I’d like to ask:

Derp, how did I hurt you? Is it because I am a woman with opinions, or is it because I called you a misogynist, or is it because of something else? I’d love to know! Pls respond on MSB, xoxoxoxo love me

@crawfish i had to take a shower after reading that, thx

My advice? Teach people how you want to RP with them. A lot of us have a strong tendancy to match the person we are writing with, but sometimes we need to give ourselves a little grace. If someone throws out novel-length poses and you only have a paragraph or two in you? Give them that. They will either a) start mimicing your shorter pose length or b) keep going!

If someone doesn’t want to Rp with you because of your pose length, they aren’t worth RPing with anyway.

@Warma-Sheen said in Concordia Thread:

@Faraday I think that just means allotting a certain number of xp points to character based on age. Or just granting a chunk of xp to an older character to indicate they have had more experience in their life than younger characters. I don’t think it necessitates code. It is definitely a game decision.

The game overall seems interesting enough. I’m not a player of lords and ladies games, so maybe this is a genre thing, but I’m surprised no one has made mention of the fact that characters in the ruling house have to be white with blond hair and blue eyes. There’s a specific mention that all the houses have some commonalities, but this one you have to stick to.

Is that a common thing in these types of games so that no one else is bothered by it? It definitely tripped a flag for me. Or is it one of those situations where people just trust it not to be as icky as it sounds and give the benefit of the doubt?

So, you don’t play L&L games but you have a problem with a game you’re not going to play with a genre you don’t even like? LOL why are you here commenting at all, this isn’t even constructive.

Anyway @Whisky and @spes good luck, have fun, don’t listen to the haters who aren’t going to play your game anyway

I’m not saying it doesn’t happen but could someone post the pose in question? I just want to see how we know it’s AI.

@NotSanni said in Numetal/Retromux:

i like this thread mostly because it’s a great reminder that sometimes a story doesn’t have any heroes in it

idk man the hero of this story is clearly @LeeRoyBatty who is now my top favorite poster of all times

Don’t listen to him @LeeRoyBatty , you’re making me cry laughing so hard over here with every post. POST MORE PLEASE.

I think my favorite part about all of this is how this person’s character couldn’t be a Mary Sue because he’s a MAN WRITTEN BY A MAN!!! or something. IDK, this is all ridiculous.

hey hey where’s the dog dick dude now to espouse the wonders of PVP games and how they never get problematic OOC???

@Snackness I call dibs on having a tiger-cat-thing minion.

@tsar JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. I can’t tell you why, or describe this show to you in any way other than, it’s fucking BIZARRE.

@junipersky it’s all i can see every time this guy posts, i thought i was crazy that no one else was bringing it up

@tsar said in pvp vs pvp:

I think we can probably stop feeding this person the attention they’re craving.

you mean we should stop arguing with the guy who’s user name is a euphemism for dog penis? because that didn’t automatically target him as problematic to begin with…???

@Cygnus said in pvp vs pvp:

elderly romance novelists

I mean this accurately describes me so I ain’t even mad about it.

Anyway I think this whole conversation stemmed from stakes in a game and I go back to saying you don’t need PvP for there to be stakes. PVP games might not be my cup of elderly romance novelist tea but I do like my games to have stakes and tend to agree that most games don’t have those anymore and it’s a bummer.
