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.
I get two things from reading stuff from this thread.
That I definitely am not the target audience for Lords & Ladies roleplay.
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.
@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.
@somasatori Keep this up and people are going to expect you to start a game. 
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.

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.
@Cobalt UA is my “If I ever actually have time to build a game from scratch, it will be this” game.
Update: I have also just been reminded that it’s in competition with a “LARP-Rules WoD” game.
@Yam If we all had a dollar for every time this happened, we’d all be oligarchs.
@Pavel said in MU Peeves Thread:
I want to add that while it takes work to make any hobby fun, if it’s consistently more work than fun, then it might be time to reassess.
Agreed. The moment it becomes more work than fun is the moment it’s an unpaid internship, and those are largely gross.
@Jennkryst You could always do the simplest thing. Have an Ares or MUSH instance spun up for the non-Mech stuff, and run a dedicated MekHQ box for the larger scale stuff, and just manually copy character data between the two.

Exalted: Essence
I was so happy when Essence came out. I like Exalted as a setting, but omg are the mechanics of base Exalted so overly complicated.

A Nobilis server?
I would love to see this, but at the same time, feel like the flighty nature of most MU Players, wouldn’t that just fall apart almost over night? I could see it as a 100% roster game, but if it was all player created Nobles & Imperators, I don’t see how you survive the churn rate most games have.
June Lockhart, 100, famous for being the mom in Lassie and Lost In Space.
@somasatori I totally agree with this. Each character in the roster could have a set of links to the important world lore that drives their character to help people find what they need to know.

I don’t really know 5e as much as Revised/20th but the Anarchs are effectively the Sabbat now?
So the quick run down is: The Camarilla lost some major cities (London & Vienna among others) and some major players (Hardestat the Younger and the entire Tremere Council) to Hunters, and the Sabbat quietly packed up their shit and went to fight monsters in the wilderness (quite literally) leaving only small packs of instigators behind to run guerrilla strikes on the Camarilla to funnel resources into the larger Sabbat operation. With the lack of focused Sabbat activity and the Camarilla crackdown on anyone not a member of the Ivory Tower, the Anarchs basically get treated like the Sabbat in a lot of cities, and they respond as one might expect (also they got reinforced by the Ministry / Followers of Set).
