Seeing cool new characters that look like they might be fun to RP with but not wanting to instantly PM them and come off creepy/overexcited/stalkery/etc.

So even if @De-Villefort is right and all genres except for sci-fi and cyberpunk are filled with nothing but bad terrible people…

So what?

Sometimes it’s fun to play the villain. Do you think that any actor that gets the role of a villainous type absolutely hates their job while doing so? Do you think Alan Rickman or Christopher Lee cried in anguish every morning they woke up before going off to play their various famous villainous roles?

hi I’m new to the clique. what time are our weekly meetings on who to dogpile that week? I’m also signing on up bringing cups and ice.

@ten You can tell my em dashes are legit because I always use them — incorrectly.

I like a good meowdy

@Cygnus I want conflict to come from the environment and NPCs. I don’t want to worry about my character getting ganked because another player thinks it’s fun.

If I want PVP, I’ll boot up Rivals or something similar.

Conspiracy theory time.

What if Ganymede wanted to end MSB ALL ALONG?! Her RL has gotten so busy that she couldn’t control MSB with so many members as it was but didn’t want to let go of her online authoritah so she hired someone that she knew would be divisive and would let to at least half of the members would be banned or leave on their own so she wouldn’t have to do so much work but still appear cool calm collected catbot (BECAUSE THAT PERSONALITY IS SO FUNNY!) and it worked out enough because she’s cold emotionless lawyer who doesn’t have time for FEELINGS and admitting to making a mistake is a fate far worse than DEATH!

pls feel free to ignore this message, brought to you by bored people at work sitting in boring meetings and already mentally clocked out for the 4-day weekend.

Also that Derp is a misogynist prick who lacks the self-awareness to realize he’s the problem, not all of us.

Derp is the embodiment of ‘she shouldn’t have been wearing that dress’.

@hellfrog What do you expect from a forum run by a dude that has said in threads regarding similar topics that “maybe she shouldn’t have gone down that alley” and other such gross things?

@Hobbie said in pvp vs pvp:

@Jennkryst Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if this hobby dies in our lifetime but if/when it does, we hopefully all have some fond memories.

Movie theaters are going to die in our lifetime.

MUs definitely will.

But roleplay itself will live on forever.

they wouldn’t be the bulk of what people are running and playing nowadays.

Oh, yes, such wildly successful games that have what, 12 active players who do maybe 3 scenes a week? That’s totally a thriving model for success you have there! No need to ever question it or try to improve! What was I thinking?! Must be the dementia!

Success is determined if everyone is having fun.

There’s this hot new phrase that all the kids are saying these days. “Quality over quantity.”

Oh well, I guess the hobby will just die with us then.
We had a good run! It was fun while it lasted.

@RedRocket said in pvp vs pvp:

I want the next generation to have that same opportunity to find themselves lost in strange new worlds.

Am I wrong? Is there some thriving hub of young people out there playing some game I’ve never heard of?

Yes. As someone stated earlier, they’re all on Discord, JCINK, tumblr, etc.

This is another one that doesn’t really read like Ghost’s MO to me, unless he’s decided to change his personality for like the fifth time. He also never had an issue with PVE games, whatever one can say about his other annoying qualities. But I’ve been wrong before.

I also think that Ghost hates all PBs (including AI, but I could be remembering wrong). But this person has a similar energy.

“But I don’t care.”

@RedRocket
“wrote a small essay about how I don’t care.”
Stand in front of a mirror and say those words out loud.

Is RedRocket Ghost or their cousin or something? Reminds me of their long posts about how they don’t care and to remind us they left the hobby 40 years ago.

@RedRocket

If you were “Harmony” on the Discord RP ‘Shadows on the Strip’ would love to RP with you again!

@KarmaBum “Sexy fireball” makes me think of the succubi(?) that were all fiery, from Oglaf, that Mistress’s apprentice had to apply oil to.

I don’t make the rules for what my brain does.

It reminds me of the old Bloodninja texts.
