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.

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.
@Alamias Sadly as much as I have been interested in this game for a while, my current lack of a strong gaming computer means I probably won’t be able to play this.
@Warma-Sheen said in Empire Discussion Thread:
Ada pages you: It shouldn’t really, but the proposal to hand over all of Kournis’ resources is the only action submitted which I cannot discern an in-character rationale for.
And this contradicts that earlier statement. It reads to me that no, scenes don’t need to be submitted because of the automatic scene logger. Also, Ada is trying to find an in-character rationale for an action which would only be provided by a log.
Also, in this day and age, the only people who would see this as over the top punitive are the kind of folks that need a one and done approach to problem removal to get the point through.
@Faraday said in Empire Discussion Thread:
The back and forth about the scene logger is a bit more perplexing. Ada seems to expect some evidence of RP (“I haven’t seen any substantive RP…”) yet does not clearly state how that evidence should be provided. Are they, in fact, expecting a log? An explanation in the job? A confirmation from the other player? I can understand WS’ frustration on the lack of clear instructions. But it sounds like maybe there was some prior history there (re: “we wrote out long explanations the last time, you said…”) so there might be more to the story.
As I understand it, scenes connected to actions are meant to be logged using the in game @scene command so that Ada can review the logs and make sure the RP matches the intent of the actions. I’m pretty sure I saw that in the game’s documentation somewhere.

And no, there were no other incidents that preceded this. It was just this from start to finish. One and done. I mean, bullet dodged, for sure. Kept me from wasting a bunch of time. But definitely wanted to let other people know. Waste time at your own risk.
I’m gonna agree with @Third-Eye here and say that’s not the bad look for the game you’re trying to spin it to be. I’m all for game runners cutting people off the moment they don’t jive with the way they want to do things.
@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.
