It’s not a cue ball.

It’s a trailer hitch.

Just gonna leave that there.

@hellfrog

Yeah, because it’s not pizza. It’s soup in a bread bowl.

@Tributary

As someone who also sleeps next to someone with chronic insomnia, I feel for you. It’s so exhausting.

@ten

But just imagine how good the TS is! They both know exactly what the other wants!

@DrQuinn

@Snackness

I do wish there were a way to tag people in Ares so it gives them a channel notification.

@ten

The bunny is not evil. It was clearly acting in self defense! And scary creatures offering candy flowers or nebulous pink blob, whatever, is an obvious trap!

Yeah. I still worry about playing characters that don’t match my RL gender because people make so many assumptions behind the keyboard, and those assumptions being challenged can really affect the OOC vibe you have with other players. It’s an unfortunate reality in 2024 but unconscious bias is a real thing.

@Meg said in Elysium /MUSH:

No one ages unless they want, then they can de-age. They never really get hurt or die. They all exist everywhere?

@Tez

It’s the bad writing. Not a single glistening orb anywhere in the entire theme description of Naughty Goddess Girl.

@TNP

@GF

It’s not even a dog whistle. It’s a bullhorn. It’s right there on their website, written out plain as day, using excessive scare quotes and capitalizing things like “Age Laws,” and explaining how and why they don’t exist. No, for real.

Yes, I went there. You’re welcome.

@GF

Like I was telling someone earlier, sometimes we just make bad decisions that feel good. You don’t always have to justify eating an entire pint of Phish Food because you skipped breakfast and lunch getting into an argument online with an internet troll. Sometimes, it’s just the thing that makes you feel better. Embrace it, even if it’s not logical.

@Tez Up the alt limit and I’ll accept that challenge!

@Artemis It’s really pretty much all the context you need, to be honest. You already get it.

I think staff on the game has been pretty reasonable, so the piecemeal changes don’t really bother me. I’d probably have made the same decision. 95% of the things that I’ve seen on the game have been just fine, and everything seems to be running smoothly. Would recommend this game to friends.

The few things that fall into the other 5% are relatively minor all things considered, and fall more under the umbrella of ‘peeves’. Either things I disagree are or should be an actual issue on an adult game, inconsistent behavior and answers from the staff, or weird rules that have carried over from other games because they’re traditions but don’t have any actual support in the theme or text.

But overall I’d say that things are pretty good, and really it’s one of the better implementations of a World of Darkness game. Ares makes for a ton of grace, too.

I was actually wondering what sparked the rule change to 21+. I’m glad I read this thread!
