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.

I like a good meowdy

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.

@KarmaBum said in Bannings:

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?

@Tez said in Bannings:

I’m just glad Ghost is there to lead the way to a brighter, more positive future.

But it’s not Ghost, remember?! The account has been handed back and forth and around at least 20 times now! Ghost was an amazing person who left MUing 30 years ago and needs to remind us at least monthly of his permanent departure.

All of this reads like someone who is pretty young themselves or was young in the 90s and never mentally/emotionally matured since.

Troubling either way.

You may be able to avoid the Mage sphere, but if inuki has characters in the other spheres it’s hard to avoid them.

@DrQuinn Yes, she’s also known as jujube (which I think her last account was)

It’s interesting the only thing that was claimed as untrue (which then got receipts) was that they didn’t slut shame someone.

The lengths someone will go to be the prettiest princess with all the e-peen.

@inuki as iterated already, someone else advertised the game. I specifically didn’t trash the game and just posted a thread about another game that was ran by you for people to make their own decisions.

I haven’t played on here or anything so can’t speak on experience of how actually things are but wanted to speak up without cluttering the actual game ad.

This is the newest game from jujube/chokitypok/etc (I’m assuming ChaoticSin is just their newest forum handle).

Check out this thread for how they handle their games.

@bored That isn’t the insult/flex that you think it is

@Coin Yes and yes (in most cases). Social characters are great and have just as an important part in games as characters that can punch things really well.

It’s fine if people use social stats on my characters as long as it’s something like “hey you should consider supporting this cause” instead of something like “hey your character should kiss mine”.

There’s a whole system for social “combat” in CofD.

There’s nothing bad/wrong/etc. about playing a pretty/social character. My eye roll/side eye was at people using it (and only it, not as part of one) as a RP hook.

@mietze There’s a huge difference between playing an attractive character and having it as a hook for your character. Just as there is a difference between including in your poses that your character turns heads to making every pose about super hot your character is.

I do the same side eye at characters who have a RP hook (or constantly pose about) how rawr big their character is.

If these are things you want to have included in your RP, there’s more interesting ways to go about it.

Example, instead of ‘my character is pretty, RP with me!’ you could put ‘my character enjoys taking care of themselves, let’s do a spa day’. Or instead of ‘my character is rawr big’ you could put ‘my character frequently does strength training, let’s go to the gym’.

@Snackness This!

Your character being rich is the hook. They just also happen to be pretty! ;D
