    • RE: MU Peeves Thread

      My peeve today:

      There’s nothing like trying out a new character and getting completely subsumed into the story of a new place to make you really, highly aware of how burned out you are at your old stomping ground. The disparity in activation energy is astounding.

      Not to tmi but I have pneumonia, the doctor says I need to spend the next 3 days in bed, and I still wanna RP my idiot werewolf, but I can barely even manage to get up the gumption to log in and read mail on a place that has been my primary game since September 2016.

      I’m tired and I’m sorry.

      @eddie this ain’t a court of law, playing on a game is not a right, and you ain’t defending any innocents, pardner

      But also that’s not how a court of law works

      If you cannot trust the staffers on the game you’re on, consider leaving.

      If you can trust the staffers on the game you’re on and you know that and are dealing with reactions in yourself that are not based on what is happening now, keep working on yourself.

      Just try to be mindful of that and don’t blame the person trying to work with you now for shit some scumsucker did on X game 11 years ago.

      Edit to add: I don’t think this is a problem now-staffers can actually fix. Coin is right that you shouldn’t be a dick but like… seriously, there is no one who can resolve someone’s anxieties about this except themselves.

    • RE: Good things in Mushing

      Honestly, the ending times at Arx have been such a positive community experience. Even people that I’ve never really jived with - it doesn’t matter, everyone is in this together, I love watching all the big event scenes, seeing years of play hit these culminating points. Obviously nothing is perfect, but the feel of being part of a community and all of us caring about the same ending is really powerful and a great note for a game I’ve played on for a long time to go out on. Thanks to everyone for vibing. ❤

      P.S. BAT!!!

    • RE: Suspected Superhero Creeping Or Something

      What evidence are you looking for here? Runescryer suspected someone of being DWOPP, indicated they thought it was DWOPP. Lithium came forward, says I was this person, I’m not DWOPP, how dare. Lithium definitely was the person who came forward and said I’m the person you’re saying is DWOPP and I’m not.

      That doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with any gamerunner going “I don’t want to deal with these people anymore, let’s chuck them all out the door.” More gamerunners should do this.

      P.S. literal laugh out loud at Macha getting banned for not leaving a thing alone when she’d been told to leave a thing alone

      as previously stated, good day

    • RE: Bannings

      But, well, I told them I would wait for them to finish reviewing before I made any decisions, since that was their request. What they’ve demonstrated is that their review was conducted according to some bizarre internal metrics that banned @Narson for saying basically the same thing as @Meg who they rescinded the ban on, while simultaneously deciding that Ghost is a part of the community they want to keep but not @Roz or @tsar –

      In short, a part of the community I will be putting behind me and not returning to.

      But the attorney in me is super annoyed about the total absence of transparency and failure of standards or logic.

      I am glad that the original wildly unjust ban was reversed, though.

    • RE: Suspected Superhero Creeping Or Something

      I also dislike Lithium and all of my memories of my experiences with them are bad and I think it’s fine to defend themselves from being compared with DWOPP.

      And I also read the pages and I don’t think Warren comes off as the asshole in that convo at all. And I was very prepared to believe they would, because I remember the bone-deep relief I felt when Lithium was banned from Arx (sorry, Arx out of season, I accept the penalty).

      I also think it’s not a good look to decide to publicly compare someone you’re in an OOC/IC tiff with to DWOPP.

      But I remain firm in my original belief that more gamerunners should look at drama between multiple players that they don’t wanna deal with and just go “bye” like this.

    • RE: Real Life Struggles/Support/Vent

      @junipersky unfortunately this is the nature of the whole system. It’s incredibly slow and inefficient because trying to handle the intimate details of family life through an adversarial process is really stupid. We just don’t know what else to do so we try to force square pegs through round holes.

      @dvoraen I mean, I’m sure he kept them up for many years after we stopped playing. He may be Dominus but he’s still Death’s special boy.

    • RE: Character Death

      I love rping eulogizing a dead character. Non-sarcastic. I got a lot of practice at this and discovered I really enjoy it. Real characters are best, I also did a spider funeral at one point but that was for specific IC reasons and I had fun with that too.

    • RE: Character Death

      Yes, it is very different to choose a death versus being prepared to accept death as a consequence of dice rolls. Risk of death can make a triumph feel way more powerful. Stakes are super important for story reasons. A character who you know you are killing versus a character who might die if their attempt fails? Wildly different experience.

    • RE: RPing with Nobody

      I have no earthly clue why I journal for characters but sometimes I am playing a character where I just wanna do that. Also sometimes I write bad poetry/songs because I want to do that, too. Sorry, I dunno why. This is super helpful to the discussion, I bet.

    • RE: Minigames in MUSHes

      I loev minigame. I don’t know how much it actually contributes to RP, but it definitely contributes to my fun.

      I derived great joy, on Firan, from making lunch baskets of coded food and sending them to my IC sponsor to make him eat. It became a running joke. The funniest instance was when I (and therefore, my character) accidentally sent the lunch of awful quality food that I was saving for myself.

      IDK, sometimes it’s just fun, OK.

    • RE: RPing with Everybody (or not)

      @Gashlycrumb I disagree. Players playing in small groups can’t bottleneck story if staff is attentive to how story is seeded. This is not a player problem. If your IC leadership structure has the ability to prevent OOC story access, your game is not functioning correctly.
