yesterday, I got an offer from a job I’ve been interviewing for since the beginning of August

Peeve. I’m feeling left behind by this hobby. I’m discouraged that it feels like in order to play on any of the games where my friends play, I’d have to compromise my comfort and place my trust in people who… I haven’t experienced being all that cool. And I think I feel it even more because for a minute, I had a relatively active little rp bubble before folks moved on to the next thing.

I’m just going to be real with you all. I put in a request letting them know I felt awkward about the gods being white, and my non-white noble house worshipping a white patron god. And you know what? They were like, ‘good lookin out, this is on our list of things to review.’ And it made me feel immediately more comfortable.

I don’t think this beef in the comments is in the spirit of the game runners.

newest fam member, getting her squinty eye checked out in the AM

Man, I miss fighting with higher class reductive trolls like Derp who actually had the substantive background to make these arguments for real.

shut your foul mouth

Mention porn. Reading your char getting talked about in the logs of other folks. Love.

@spiriferida For L&L, really play up the politics, intrigue, animosity between rival families, and management aspects to the level that no one has time to knock boots on screen.

Demand characters have so many administrative skills, they become virtually unfuckable.

@Yam tbh, I can see not knowing whether someone “new” has been playing for two weeks or even a month. I barely perceive the passage of time in real life, let alone pretend life. Characters are created and idle reaped all in darkness.

@Kestrel lol I assure you, credulity remains unstrained indubitably. The second response just had the whiff of there being some kind of new and interesting sex rule that was being broken ??? instead of like… a normal ass rule like not creeping on someone with an undisclosed alt. That’s all.

@howyadoin You right. My bad. Maintain your privacy on this one, peace. The compliance stuff set off my alarm bells.

@howyadoin Yeah and now it’s coming off as super weird and at least a little bit shady without at least some further context. Best of luck, though.

@howyadoin said in MU Peeves Thread:

@catzilla Blatantly lied OOC about compliance with a game policy others were trying to enforce to convince them it was okay to fuck.

What’s the game’s ts policy? And how are they uh, enforcing compliance?

On the tail end of catching, spay/neutering, and medicating ~10 non-feral cats that our aunt left behind loose on a family property. Really, really tragic circumstances, both in the awful conditions that she had been living in — conditions our parents, aunts and uncles were aware of and didn’t intervene in, which has been difficult to come to terms with — and the state of these animals. They’ve all been treated and paired off for fostering, with one special case still scheduled for surgery. Trail cams up to catch sight of any stragglers. Jesus fucking christ, what a dark chapter to come out of. Wish 2026 was offering time to deflate, but I guess that’s not the vibe.

@bear_necessities That’s fucking nuts.

I always side eye when game admin use new handles with no history in the community. Not a crime in itself, and I get there might be logic behind that sometimes. But def contributes to a certain level of shadiness, especially in context with stuff like this.

@bear_necessities baking in romantic threads between staff alt and roster, and centralizing staff alt to plot, is reminiscent of that Neitherlands admin

@RightMeow said in MU Peeves Thread:

I am not actively on a game (sigh) however, I don’t see the harm in mid-scene skill raises. Most of those scenes, you are fighting an NPC. If it’s PvP, well who’s to say someone didn’t skill up just before entering the scene? Isn’t that basically the same? If you earned the XP when you spend it shouldn’t really matter. Or maybe I’m just not seeing why it does matter. What does it hurt or what does it do? Maybe I’m just not understanding the issue.

I can kinda see this being bigger deal in PvP settings, especially if you can see other PC sheets. Best of luck on those games, wherever they are.
