    • RE: Numetal/Retromux

      @thrax said in Numetal/Retromux:

      When Staff came to speak to her she did not hide, nor keep information from them. The thing I wonder is how can they ban someone for avoiding conflict from someone known to be a problem. Yes she did hide herself, but is that in itsself worth a full gameban?

      Hiding yourself from players you have a no contact with in order to RP with them is something I think deserves a gameban, regardless of how open you are with staff.

      It really feels like Ganymede has just decided to let Derp drive it into the ground out of some need to avoid losing face from reversing a decision.

      Well, I’m reducing my MSB activity to lurking now. Gany just basically said that the only person who needed to be apologized to on MSB for what happened was Derp.

    • RE: A Constructive Arx Thread

      I get two things from reading stuff from this thread.

      1. That I definitely am not the target audience for Lords & Ladies roleplay.

      2. That Arx, even with all of it’s trouble throughout its history, is a pretty good example of ‘doing it right’ in our hobby.

      Congrats to all you Arx players and staff for doing cool stuff.

    • RE: pvp vs pvp

      @Cygnus said in The 3-Month Players:

      Without PVP acting as a failsafe, these players often cause games to fail because no one can stand not being able to meaningfully stand up to the bully.

      The failsafe against toxic players should be staff action. Going PVP just because a player is toxic seems toxic in it’s own right.

      Starting a new thread, for a new year.

      First up, and this one hit me hard, David Lynch, legendary director of such weirdness as Eraserhead, Twin Peaks, and the original 1980s version of Dune.

      Please stop. If you actually care, stop, step away, and come back in a few days or even a week or two. You’re making yourself look bad with each new post.

      Also: I can’t make anyone else on this forum switch topics from your dumpster fire of a character to the dumpster fire of Eddie and the people on Staff that did toxic shit to you. Mostly because you keep running back in here and throwing gasoline on your character dumpster fire and making it a much bigger, brighter spectacle than the other.

      @Juniper said in Numetal/Retromux:

      Most people want to be special in some way, sometimes tactfully and sometimes… not. I think we all get to have more fun when we’re not veering aggressively away from being “cringe”.

      The vast majority of players in our hobby understand how to make unique special characters without trying their damnedest to drive it into everyone’s faces at 100 miles an hour.

      @somasatori I forked your github to work on the merit dictionaries without causing you to get millions of notifications from git.

      If you want to peek at what I’m up to, my most recent work is in https://github.com/wagenbach/PyReach-Revision/tree/main/world/cofd/meritsredux. When I’m done, I’ll let you know and you can merge the fork back into the main if you want, or just copy files over individually.

      @Juniper said in The great escape (from Microsoft):

      Windows ran fine on it but I do wonder if it’s just so old that it needs something more lightweight. If you know any distributions that are particularly well suited to ancient shitboxes, I’d appreciate a recommendation.

      Have you tried Bodhi Linux?

      @Pavel said in The great escape (from Microsoft):

      And because Microsoft is… well… Microsoft, you may have to check/update this setting every few updates or so. I’ve definitely had to chase up stupid settings changes that updates have made counter to my desires.

      Yep. So far I haven’t had to re-enable that on my Windows machine. I’m guessing since it getting reactivated in an update would mess up a lot of business deals, they don’t touch that setting with update packages. Only time will tell though.

    • RE: The great escape (from Microsoft)

      If you can’t escape Windows, but want to escape Copilot, you can use Group Policy Editor to disable Copilot permanently. (Microsoft is required to leave this setting in their OS by the many many many companies that either don’t want to deal with AI stuff at all, or have contracts with other AI firms for their AI nonsense, so it’s just a part of all versions of Windows.)

      Just run gpedit.msc, find User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot. There’s a policy called “Turn off Windows Copilot”. Enable that, and voila, no more pesky Microsoft AI on your system.

    • RE: Missed Settings

      What about turning the West Marches into a game somewhat inspired by The Last Ship? The main section of the grid is a large naval vessel with plenty of room for people to spread out and do their social RP, but the plot bits come when the ship moors somewhere, and the grid extends to include a chunk of land, or another abandoned ship, and the PCs organize to go deal with the ST plots and find resources. If the ship isn’t moored somewhere, the exits are just removed and the players have to stay on the ship.

      @Ominous No. I work in IT and have to be knowledgeable about all three major OS environments for work, so I slowly have collected a trifecta.

      Strangely, because of my job, I will always be on all three. I have a Windows machine, a Macbook, and two Linux systems (one on Debian and the other currently being used to test Omarchy.)

    • RE: Missed Settings

      @labsunlimited If I were to do Vampire in ND, I’d make it where the game represented the entire state, ignore the factions (so Cam / Anarch / Sabbat for OWoD and the Covenants for NWoD) and just have it where the players are the few Vampires roaming the state, and occasionally they gather in the only Elysium in the state to resolve disputes and stuff. Maybe one Prince for the entire State if you really want some level of organization.

    • RE: Missed Settings

      WoD North Dakota would be interesting for some spheres and not for others. It would work well for Werewolf and Mage, but to do Vampire there, you’d have to increase the populations and sizes of the major cities to support Vampires, and by doing so, eliminate one of the unique aspects of North Dakota as a state, namely the relative isolation and small populations of the communities there.
