@bear_necessities might have to rewatch everything she’s ever done this weekend

Catherine O’Hara

@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.

@Meg said in Discussion: On Dragon Wings:

I had a whole game concept based around that once, but since I lack follow through-- It’s cool to see someone else doing it too.

Was that the matrilineal thing? I remember that concept and still think it would be really cool.

@hellfrog I’m glad it was just a misunderstanding. And for clarification, we are fighting the dragons.

@hellfrog said in Discussion: On Dragon Wings:

dragon riders but instead of being cool and fighting each other they are kind of like lawnmowers burning caustic braum hair out of the atmosphere iirc and also if the dragons have sex their riders have sex

Not sure why I caught these strays in 2026 but I’ll just be in my lane having fun, dude.

Kizraeth clutches in late January; Coraneth in early March. That leaves plenty of time to establish a Candidate character and build up a bit of a story arch leading up to trying to impress a dragon of your very own. If you’re not confident on theme, imo going this route can be a smoother introduction.

Current plot threads involve the development of rival factions of dragonriders (PVE).

@hellfrog I think I tried to do a rewatch like ten years ago and couldn’t or wouldn’t. Mean middle school girl go live in computer. What a timestamp, though. Internet trolls from the 1900s.

@hellfrog said in AI In Poses:

wow wow
wonder where they are from? what happened in the mushing world

I don’t want to ruin the plot of Serial Experiments Lain for you, but…

finding the creative spoons to gm a little story in my little mu* corner

@helvetica Lmfao ahahaha

ETA: TO BE CLEAR to everyone Tez abuses me with love, don’t worry. She’s not a forum despot.

she’s a forum little teapot

@Tez teapot size comparison, frog for scale. (Tez is small, everyone.)

@Aria Not to mention switching up your writing style? If that’s a concern for Carmen Sandiego-type roleplayers? I feel like I say the same stupid words all the time on repeat.

In my youth, I could do so many alts. Roster writing helps fulfill that itch without all the commitment (and I guess, rp crime).

It may be worth stating that this type of ban doesn’t have to be representative of who the player is as a person. As opposed to like… a sex pest ban or banning one of those people qualified to teach a masterclass on toxicity and manipulation. It’s okay for a place to just… not be right for you.

@Yam I mean, earlier in the intro to mu*ing thread it was mentioned about nuerodiverse our community is. We’d be just as well served by a masterclass on how to communicate a clear boundary instead of relying on hints and easily misinterpreted social cues. But I know that would give plenty of people panic attacks, too. This stuff is all just part of the beautiful mess.

@Yam Is this in reference to WoD culture? If so, does not apply.

I can only speak for myself in that… being admin on a game is not a customer service position and if you take out your bullshit on admin like it is one even a little bit, you run the risk of being invited to leave. That might be a difficult metric, but so is being a little asshole.

PSA: Don’t treat customer service workers poorly, either.
