Obviously, receipts are handy but they’re not a requirement. And I’d (speaking only for myself, though with a polite nod in the direction of that Admin tag) rather not make posting every shred of evidence possible the expectation here.

Client: Well, I’m gay.
Me: Mhm…
Client: And… that’s okay?
Me: slow swivel in chair to look at giant Progress Pride Flag on my wall
Me: slow swivel in chair to look back at client
Client: happy tears

Being a client’s safe space to come out is a gift that keeps on giving.

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

That means that since the birth of BMD, no other game has negatively affected MU* players as broadly or as painfully as Star Wars: Age of Alliances.

A board of women, queers, and allies reacting strongly against sexual misconduct and anti-reporting prejudice… Isn’t that how we started in the first place?

For posterity, I present thus:

Tracy is a man and he is a very hansome and manly man.He likes women a lot and women like him too but men think he is compitishion.He has very long brown shiny hair everywhere and a little blue eyes that are mostly green but very hansome anywya.You can tell a lot of things from his eyes.He has a very big bulge in his jeans where the dick would be and it is not a sock because it makes all women almost orgasm with desire.Behind him is a very firm muscled ass that makes you want to slap it and play with it in lots of ways but only if your a women.If you are a man you will die if you touch it because Tracy is strong and very not Gay.If you are a women he winks and smiles at you and thinks you have a nice personality.If you are a man again he frowns at you and it makes you not hit on him or on any women when hes here.He likes lots of women very much and likes very few men but not as boyfriends.And he has a shitr which is nice and blue.I mean shirt sorry.

@hobos said in Bannings:

From what I’ve seen, you are a people with boundless empathy, but you choose who to direct that towards.

Not to really engage in the debate, here, but that’s literally the same as everyone else.

Me. I’m a good thing about mushing.

And this isn’t a throw away joke, or an ego thing, or whatever. But I’ve finally been able to arrive at the conclusion that yes, my RP is good. My events are good. My being present on a game is good. And I’m finally free to feel that I am good enough.

So there. Me. I’m a good thing about mushing.

So obviously it’s a very dark time, horrid things incoming and so forth…

But did anyone actually have The Onion buying Infowars on their 2024 bingo cards?

@Warma-Sheen said in Los Angeles 2043: A Blade Runner MUSH - Discussion:

Just because you can open a game on your own doesn’t mean you should.

You should. It might last, it might not, but at least stuff’s being made even for a moment.

@GF We’re for taco Tuesdays, no-pants Fridays, and the violent and utter overthrow of the capitalistic, white-supremacist patriarchy. And tea.

@CuriousGamer said in Macha Awareness (And Unappreciation) thread:

@Tez There seems to be a few bad actor threads now, would it make sense to put them into their own ‘Bad Actor’ kind of topic at this point? I know there’s been a couple discussions of others in the not too distant past as well.

No. We don’t need a whole section of the forum devoted to talking shit about specific people.

@Muse said in Minigames in MUSHes:

@Pavel Or maybe a self limiting factor, like clues know how long since the last clue and will stay in hiding until it’s time again.

Just let me have my slap-upside-head tool okay.

@somasatori There’s an easy solution, though. Just code a way for observant staffers to slap clue-farmers upside the head through the internet.

@Tez said in Minigames in MUSHes:

Video games give you sight, sound, real designed elements that work together to create a satisfying feedback loops that makes the grind provide the dopamine.

They even occasionally hire psychologists to work out the best ways to do this so they can take a lot of your money.

@Tez said in Minigames in MUSHes:

No one should ever make puppy-eyes at any coder for anything.

Unless that is your normal expression when offering reasonable sums of money for labour.

@Tez said in Minigames in MUSHes:

I’m obsessed w minigames. I will forever remembering Firan’s many minigames, and you’ve heard me talk about the stupid satisfaction I got going out to hunt for geese and bring home to make roast poultry so much that it made it into your OP. I just want minigames to play. Minigames that support RP. Minigames that support plots. Minigames I can play for funsies.

Someone needs to make you a MU made entirely of minigames.

@somasatori said in Re: Dies Irae:

Ah, that’s not really my jam, outing folks and who they played.

@somasatori said in Re: Dies Irae:

Scylla set up two pseudo-headstaff through which she could launder her reputation.

So who were they that they had a reputation in need of laundering?

One of the better things I’ve seen to counteract this is what Arx did with leaders and their “voices.” A second-in-command-type person who carried all the same weight as the leader for when said leader was inactive, unattentive, unwilling or unable to deal with you, etc.

Generally, I prefer IC leadership to be a mix of staff and players (players can be the deputy personal private secretary, but the prime minster will always be staff), but if there’s a built-in fuckery-avoidance mechanism like Arx had, I’d be more amenable to player-oriented leadership.

@L-B-Heuschkel said in Strike Systems:

It’s fine to discuss politics.

Frankly, I’m sick of the idea that politics discussion needs or should be allowed a space to happen wherever we go. The internet is fucking infinite (I’m being facetious, but you know what I mean) if you can’t stop talking about political events for five fucking minutes while you’re tabbed over onto the game window you need to pull the hose-o-news out of your ear.

Is political discussion, especially political discussion outside of one’s narrow bubble, important? Absolutely yes, and it should happen frequently and diligently. Should it happen on GarouFuckers By Night or Men in Tights the MU? For all that is sacred, no.
