Honestly, my biggest peeve is people who make decisions that get their characters in danger and rather than go along with it, they sort of like get frustrated at the consequences they get because “what else was my character going to do? Of course they were going to rage at the super evil and powerful mage! They are a rebel!”

Like the character isn’t real. You make the decisions. Own it.

A huge thank you to the GMs who helped me with today’s event as well as all the player’s that had taken part.

Especially one who had lost their character. You accepted the result with a lot of grace and I am really happy that you were satisfied (I think) with the way it was handled. Your character is a total badass.

Side note: I think I just made my NPC a hate sink rofl.

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 explicitly told this “new” player when they asked me about the damn shared tattoo our characters had that I would prefer to not roleplay that due to my issues with the previous player. So they KNEW how I felt about them and pretended to be oh so sympathetic to my problems. You know what, whatever. But the fact that in a private scene, they ASKED my NPC questions about an Apos-NPC unprompted - lore questions about him, how my char felt about him, etc - unprompted and is now lying about trying to “keep her distance” from him is galling. Worse than that are the people who believe this bullshit. Ugh. I hope to never encounter her again but given how insidious she is, that’s a fool’s hope.

ETA: And they framed it as “X told me about this tattoo our chars have, can you tell me about that.” But that could have been bunk too since they were the same fkin player.

Is it weird that sometimes it’s easier to play my NPCs than my PCs? Helping seed metaplot info or other character info is easier than actively forming character interactions.

ETA: Probably as RL has gotten insanely hectic. It’s not that I hate interpersonal interactions but yeah.

My god what I’d give to never read about VK ever again. I was friends with her once and wish I never met her. There.

It’s very easy to believe her when the tinted glasses are on. She seems lovely at first and then you -see- her pulling some bullshit and you’re like “well shit”. I kind of hope hobos snaps out of it soon but if he doesn’t, his problem.

I’m on the brink of a big move and I just finished training at my new job and I’m going to miss the people I trained with because we’re in different branches. And I just feel unstable with so many upcoming changes and don’t know how I’m going to cope. I know change is inevitable but it’s hard.

I genuinely appreciate staff being really understanding with personal fumbles and clarifying things in posts. There are moments I feel guilty and worry I’m wasting people’s time, so it really does put me at ease!

@Rinel This isn’t advice about what to do. But to be honest, someone /can/ be a part of a minority group and still play a PC from that group offensively.

On the one (bigger) hand, I am glad I finally have a steady job. On the other, I miss having more free time!

I have reached the stage when I realised I don’t want to be around my SO’s mother. It’s hard to know where to go on from here after having told him.

So yeah, it sucks.

@catzilla I almost felt a self conscious ping using her for one of my chars. But that char is definitely presented as white. Damn anxiety.

I mean why stop there? There can be 7ft Tom Hardy.

I am in deep denial. They are just misunderstood. sticks hand over edge of bed casually and gets mauled

So I confirmed with Apostate. Spiders and Bats are Death’s thing and therefore Nox. Rex’alfar on the other hand like cats! I don’t know what implications this has. Are cats racist and abyssal?

@Meg I got to the captcha and then was like NO.

I don’t know this person like at all. But I am haunted by a story I heard about them like actively being malicious about the RL of someone they MUSH hated. Bleh.
