Kids are so funny.

My current mood:

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This is so cruel. You can’t just tell us you have drama and then not deliver!

The game has been running for a while now and while new games tend to fizzle out and die I’d just like to give kudos to Silent Heaven for going strong and continuing to mature.

In particular I think the gamerunner has done a lot of work addressing and removing negative influences, and the community has never been such a welcoming and chill place to be.

@Rusalka I’m already on my way to the door when someone declares themself the bottleneck to all important developments - it’s obnoxious main character energy. Fuck 'em.

Ban drama aside, taking a stance that they don’t want players retconning what an established character was assigned at birth isn’t exactly “banning trans characters”.

I might’ve missed something but I didn’t see a rule that you’d get banned if you complained to anyone who isn’t staff, either.

Which MUSH banned trans characters???

Learned what unremitting means today. +1 to vocabulary.

@SpaceKhomeini I’m with you on that one. It’s “AI” in the same way that the Cleverbot of the late 2000s was “AI”. You know, that site that would save how users responded to its questions and regurgitate responses to other users, which is why it insisted it was human with so much indignation. AI is just the name we tend to give to the latest cool thing.

LLMs are just playing Guess The Next Word constantly. They can’t perform logic, or like… count things or do basic maths.

@hellfrog I think to me, the best amount of description/background/whatever is however much it takes to get the point across and not a word more. Sometimes you have people writing to a minimum word count because that’s the culture or they’re self-conscious and that’s when it can become a slog to read. All this could be avoided if they’d written “it’s a white t-shirt” instead of turning to chatgpt to fluff it up.

I play games where the RP is time sensitive. If someone flounces up to me with a description taller than my vertical monitor full of chatgpt-isms, I ain’t reading that shit. Got halfway through the scene once before we both realised she was buck naked.

Did that guy really turn up to a MU* board to tell us all that MU* games are dumb and we’re dumb for playing them?

Lol. Lmao. Don’t come back.

if you’re running a writing game why would you outsource the writing lmao

If it feels like someone is constantly on a hair trigger waiting to flip out about the smallest thing, I wish them well and get the fuck out of there. Life is too short to walk on eggshells. And as already stated, the goalposts always seem to change.

wild as hell on so many levels

It’s a curtain rod end

@Clarion said in MU Peeves Thread:

@Juniper Idk, but it’s nice of them to let you know you shouldn’t play with them again!

Agreed.

It’s really funny though - in real life nobody would ever just stand there and listen politely while you go on your ten minute bitching monologue. What kind of exotic paralysis is keeping my character from interrupting or walking away?

This isn’t how conversations work, people!

@Val said in MU Peeves Thread:

Logging off in the middle of a conversation to be sure your character gets the last word.

Don’t do that.

Posting a three paragraph rant yelling at someone and then immediately running out of the room. Why do people do this?

I am just not the sort of person to greet newcomers like a Labrador Retriever aggressively licking your face.

I’m more like an old tortoiseshell cat who’s in the house… somewhere. And will probably notice your presence within the hour, or when you shake the treat bag.

You guys are socialising in channels? That’s wild.
