Been trying to engage less online and focus more on myself, especially the last few months. Seems to be progressing well, since July 1st I’ve lost 50 pounds and focused on doing more physical activities despite the triple digit heat (though getting used to it more now… kind of).

I have had run-ins with this person on another game. I have heard similar stories from that game.
I’ve also heard stories from people I’ve known who played on AoA.

So, uh, I believe what is being reported here 100%.

@Roz said in Wyrdhold Discusion:

I was the Male Character in that snippet and wasn’t really bothered by that one tbh, BUT it was the kind of joke that my PC would absolutely find funny, so YMMV.

But this one in another scene seems at a glance to come out of nowhere literally two rounds in:

Spoiler

“Here, lemme help you,” [He] responds, and if she allows it, he takes the popcorn bucket from her. “You know, when I can’t sleep, I grab some lube and just fucking go at myself.” He makes a gross ‘pop pop pop’ sound that is apparently what it sounds like when a man ejaculates or something? He smiles at himself for giving her the greatest advice ever. “Fall right asleep.” Whether he is holding the bucket or she is at this point, he gnabs a handful and shoves it in his mouth. “What’re we seein’?”

Just kind of from 0 to 20? Idk. I think it was a number of different things/reports. Individually they probably could just be like “that’s a bit much.”

Also Forgiveness != Forgetting about bad behavior, nor should it.

I, uh, have a crazy job interview on Monday. I really can’t believe it but going to prep this weekend and hope Monday goes well!

As someone who was once friendly with someone the community viewed as toxic…

When the person in question is always complaining about everyone around them, it’s time to view them as the common denominator in everything

Been painting a lot of minis since Feb of last year. Got done with this one recently and thought I would share as these are dark times and I hope all of you are hanging in there.

Also hope folks have been enjoying RP! I find my brain not wanting to write as much these days. I should change that some time soon.

You know, fuck scammers man.

Here I am trying to look for a new job because they announced layoffs at my company, and I get an e-mail about setting up an interview. Talk to someone, have a lengthy back and forth and then the more I dig and look into it after the fact, the more and more certain I am of it being a scam. Hitting all the notes from some other anecdotes I’ve found online and its like…

It’s fuckin bad enough dealing with our shit ass capitalist system

If you are just trying to scam people looking for opportunities, you’re a sleazebag POS and need to be yeeted straight into the sun.

@Meg said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

In his own OOC hilarity:

(:Public:) Cujo says, “I bet Hadrix.”
[… (removed by Meg)]
(:Public:) Cujo says, “He’s at EVERY combat scene”

god, he sounds exhausting. you can’t go to any combat scene if you want to avoid him? like ever??? fucking what.

I interacted with him on another game. He is exhausting. Very fucking exhausting. And I say this as a male so I wasn’t exposed to his sex pest side, but there were points of just being around him that I wanted to yeet him into the sun.

Quoting my own post to say I had a 2nd one on Thursday and hope to hear something early next week about Interview #3.

@Purplelamia said in MU* Wishlists:

I would like to see a Lords & Ladies game like Castle D’Image, or Crossroads, where it’s accessible, engaged players and staff, friendly but without having to learn a slew of backplot and systems like Arx, which I found kind of overwhelming. Evennia is a very complex system, with a lot going on.

Perhaps it was also back when I first played, but it was a time when I was naive and didn’t know everyone’s drama, though I was too young and dumb not to get swept up in it. I’d love to avoid that for a second round.

Maybe they are around though, and I just don’t knwo where to look.

I kind of get what you’re saying but I feel I should ask what do you mean by “learn a slew of backplot”? I think fantasy/L&L helps when there’s some level of depth to the setting, or do you mean the weight of years of history that Arx had?

@hellfrog said in Age Verification & Games:

@Ominous we’re still waiting for you to name one Nirvana song

omg, needed that laugh.

I havent checked on this thread in like a week but I just want to say that I believe @Prototart . I had very much similar experiences or had friends have those experiences with everyone involved.
I think I mostly avoided comic games after that but Covid was like 50 years ago and time blends together.

I generally dislike time gates and justifications re: xp.
I think folks should do what they want within the normal rules of the game.

Good lord, I haven’t heard HAM in a while. But yeah everything stated is true.

@Ashkuri said in When is the last time you played?:

So at 93 responses so far, looks like:

• 45% of forum users actively RPing (in the last month)
• 55% of forum users not actively RPing (in the last month)

Not a bad ratio tbh

@junipersky

i am late to this but it’s been a year+.

waiting for some place so i can write about excessively frilly sleeves for @dvoraen lol

@Coin

It hurt my brain to see the whole thing go down.

Story time?

If it’s what I think it’s about, here is my measured and fair synopsis:

Guy: “I hate everything about the setting I’m connected to, and I refuse to do anything proactive about it. I remain a fully blank slate and it’s everybody else’s problem, and also fault.”
Staffer: “jesus christ you can do things for yourself”
Guy: “You are not a nice person.”
Other guy: “This is akin to a police shooting.”

Except it went on for twenty minutes.

this isn’t very MUSHmaxxing of him.

fuckin hell.

maybe I shoulda bought those 6 7 chicken nuggets if I gotta read this zoomer slang

I want a short app process.

But it also helps me to kinda flesh out a character as I go rather than go in with a Malazan: Book of the Fallen length background.

Sometimes I have a concept that I want to work on and flesh out.
