BRB making a few alt accounts to upvote all my own posts, since all you cowards refuse to give me enough microdoses of dopamine.
(:Public:) Ax (A) is curious what Kasia/Zephyr did that was bad enough to have not only her, but those people associated with her get their alts destroyed and their primary characters (some of who were on vacation) sent to the Old Guard Lounge and @passworded? Is that the new standard of dealing with people who investigate claims of sexual harassment here? Burn them and their associates? I’m just curious
(:Public:) Cujo says, “Ax, you don’t care about any of those things.”
(:Public:) Cujo says, “If you did, you’d put in a request to talk privately.”
(:Public:) Cujo says, “But you didn’t do that, you posted it publicly because you want to make a huge show of things.”
(:Public:) Cujo sayz, “So now you’re banned from this channel, well done.”
DO NOT SPEAK OUT, OR YOU WILL BE SILENCED, etc etc. Shocker.

The staff just imperiously announced ‘We’re skipping ahead fifteen years so that Rey and Ben Solo can have lots of babies! If you don’t like it, leave!’
Actually, it’s Rey and Poe’s babies on Age of Kora. Poe, played by Sumi’s player.
Still a better match IMHO.
POE IS MARRIED TO FINN, AND NOTHING JJ OR DISNEY SAYS WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.
Since Derp and Ghost keep bringing it up, I’ll repeat a point I’ve made before:
People are going to keep talking about the community being hijacked, because at the end of the day, before any of this happened, any of YOU who feel the need to talk about bullies being mean - YOU could have made your own board, and made it however you wanted.
Instead, you decided to change the rules of the board we were all on and throw anyone who disagreed out. Which is the root of it all. And you know it. Because you keep bringing up how we went somewhere else and made the rules we wanted.
And it’s pretty fucked up how you keep rewriting history to justify the decision.
Another person banned for person attacks, despite making fewer personal attacks than Ghost. Maybe it was the big words?
Of course, they had to ban @Kestrel. You showed up with receipts about their hypocrisy. 12/10. Would also upvote if I could.
The new argument that this is merely the result of wanting more moderation and people are just mad that they are being moderated (because they’re super hypocrites and are now getting theirs), sure is a take.
People wanted moderation to fork threads or move them to different boards, and to ban the rapists or that one guy who sprouts up every couple months and tries to set everything on fire. So technically yes, more moderation was wanted.
But it is an extremely bad faith reading that the logical conclusion is ‘ban everyone who dares to speak out’. Pretty against the spirit of the job that was asked to be done, you might say.
I do care that VulgarKitten lied to those people, and I feel for them, particularly one who I personally admire who was really hurt by the lies. More importantly, she is sorry about it.
If she is actually sorry about it, perhaps she should admit that and apologize, and not pretend to be a totally different, literally new person, which fits the profile of the issues in the first place?

VK/Hella
I didn’t know who Hella was. lmaoooooo
Yeah, she literally changed her username and started pretending to be a new person right after the banning- spree, and nobody has called her out on it.
@Roadspike said in Bannings:
@farfalla Ares logs are system-created and (to my knowledge) can’t be edited. I would probably take a regular log too, but that would mean I was playing on a non-Ares game, and ain’t nobody got time to go technologically backwards.
Yeah, they can’t be edited unless you’re a coder, because they come straight from the database and not a player’s computer.
THAT JUST PROVES THE CODER IS IN ON THE CHEMTRAIL FLOURIDE CONSPIRACY TO MAKE PEOPLE LOOK BAD BECAUSE THEY ARE AN ENEMY OF THE CLIQUE!!!111!!1!ONE!!!111ELEVEN!
I have this hairbrained scheme to shove WoD theme/lore into Genesys or Dresden Files FATE rules and stick it on Ares, but I haven’t really done any actual planning for it.
Not sure if that counts, though.
@Snackness said in MU Peeves Thread:
Constant unremitting sex jokes just make me so tired.
It is a rare talent to be able to be horny on main, but also not annoy people with it.
Do I have that talent? I dunno, I try to be tasteful with my lewds, but also probably mess things up trying to be funny.
@MisterBoring On TR and maybe also Fallcoast I forget, my long-standing @desc was ‘A hoopy froodette who knows where her towel is, and whose general appearance and clothing change as needed for the situation.’
@Zephyr NOT ONLY THAT, but there used to be a secret vendor with crazy mark-up prices… so that you could buy, say… 10 personal scanners for 2,000 each, then sell them for 25,000 each. Or some similar crazy markup.
Who needs to abuse the trading system, when you can abuse the vendor code, instead?
@hellfrog Generally, my first pose into a scene is what my character is wearing, because I am not going to update the @desc every time they change clothes.
Hyperbolic counter example is hyperbolic for comedy: if someone in the scene mention that its raining outside, do I need to update the @desc to reflect that the clothes are wet before I even pose in?
Edit for more comedy: if a @desc does not include clothes, can we assume they are running around naked? Can we return to the cursed era where you have to +wear clothes ro cover up specific body parts and it all jumped into a big weird nightmare of layered clothes concealing other clothes concealing your naked desc?
Dude legit joined over a year ago, lurked since, first post was today, did it 6 times to simp for AI and whine about pronouns. Seems like a lot of effort.
@watno Alright fine, I’ll RP with the chat bot and turn it into a Mummy and/or EDGELORD DARKSIDE WRONGFUN-obsessed intelligence so when skynet takes over, things are gonna get EXTRA weird!

I AM BEGGING PLAYERS TO STOP USING CHATGPT.
I’LL STOP USING IT WHEN GAMES STOP ASKING FOR DESCS
This is a solved problem if you recycle the same PBs and the same @descs over and over again!
@Juniper I can kind of sort of see why someone would do it. After all, anyone who runs a Star Wars mush has outsourced the writing of a lot of the theme to George Lucas and/or whichever EU writers of the specific setting they want. Shadowrun games have outsourced their writing. WoD games outsourced their writing to White Wolf or Onyx Path…
I mean yeah, you still gotta do more specific things for your local setting, but none of them started from scratch. They all had a world already built, they’re just adding on to it.
This is actually supposed to be the appeal of unique settings. You’re not caught up on what some other author wrote (or having players being hyper-focused on trying to adhere to canon or that one specific bloodline’s lore or whatever).
But also unique settings take work writing, and people be lazy. They want the benefits of no player being able to contradict the game lore, but don’t want to put in the effort of actually writing any of it.
Or maybe I’m wrong, WHOMST CAN SAY?
@Tez What if we dump game logs in to the ChatGPT database, so we add random game lore to the list of ‘Chicken can definitely be cooked at 130F’ and ‘Some people say if you run off a cliff, you will not start to fall so long as you do not look down’ results?
