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.

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.

I’m enjoying this game but the staff turnover got me like:

@Evilgrayson Wait, wait. Are you saying that the player(s) on this game in question are VASpider and crew? I thought you were just using VASpider as an example of what this player and crew are doing.

If you are saying it is Spider, please report it to the staff of the game. I already had one game I loved ruined by her, I don’t want another.

@Juniper said in Echoes of the Past: Problem Players:

I interpreted this thread as a warning about two specific players residing in a specific game.

idk that something really be a warning about a specific game or specific players when it doesn’t name the game or players

I don’t know how to double quote but they said this

“Having watched them kill a game in that fashion and gain more friends and more enablers in so doing, I joined a freshly-opened game and created a Garou there in a brand new sphere. A week or two ago a new pack joined - the only pack - with characters that were rewrites of the werewolf and vampire player’s oWoD wolves in it. I battened down the hatches and waited for the attacks to start, because my character was an obvious target and I expected they knew he was my character. Two nights ago, the attacks began, and over the course of the day after I realised what the whole pattern was and where I’d seen it before.”

So I think it’s a warning of two people specifically AND of problem players in general?

Me on a newish opened game where a big werewolf pack just joined in the past week or two:

@Redbird Awesome to see you! I enjoyed your creepy and gross (in the best of ways) infected (I think that’s the right term?) mortal!

I was Seven the pyrokinetic mortal!

@MisterBoring said in AI Megathread:

Is it sad that I’ve met people whose natural writing and RP are so bad that I assumed they were LLMs incorrectly?

I’m having fun here and don’t feel like a ‘side character’.

The wiki seems fine to me and staff does take suggestions to help make it easier to navigate. I only needed to read stuff pertaining to the spheres I was interested in, definitely not ‘most of it’.

I don’t think this person is Polk (Polk only had 1PC and it wasn’t a vampire). Regarding Vampire, I think it was ‘dead’ due to the staff in charge having to step down due to RL.

I haven’t seen the staff be anything but nice and helpful.

@ChaoticSin Pika ousted from their own game? What’s the story there?
