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.

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.

One time @Roz’s character unironically played Wonderwall to my character on an acoustic guitar.

Be flexible. Don’t look for reasons to say no to player ideas. Look for ways to make their ideas work within the mechanics of your game world.

@Gashlycrumb said in MU Peeves Thread:

Pretend you don’t know that people can see you on +where RPing

Not to discount everything you just said because it sounds quite specific, but game admin are allowed to rp, they aren’t obligated to defend that time, and anyone who thinks otherwise can go fuck themselves.

Imo if request backlog becomes too big for the expectation a game has set for its players, that’s when you temporarily shut the door on new apps and/or get more GMs. These games are too damn big for one main staffer and a bunch of other admin who are spread thin on every other game.

@Yam A maximum word count limit for written backgrounds is the way to go. It’s great that you wrote that novel. Please send the link and I will consider purchasing. Summarize who your character is in a reasonable way.

Unrelated to the above opinion, I don’t think Arx should be our metric for OC apps. This is not intended as a critique. There are some things that game runners will be interested in policing, and some things that they aren’t.

@Meg said in Discussion: On Dragon Wings:

i grabbed t’mas off the roster. he looked fun. anyone who wants to play adjacent to me, hmu. (as a child?? or a wingrider?)

One of his kids IS on the roster.

@catzilla I think the recent banning post indicates the general community stance on that.
