Obviously, receipts are handy but they’re not a requirement. And I’d (speaking only for myself, though with a polite nod in the direction of that Admin tag) rather not make posting every shred of evidence possible the expectation here.

Client: Well, I’m gay.
Me: Mhm…
Client: And… that’s okay?
Me: slow swivel in chair to look at giant Progress Pride Flag on my wall
Me: slow swivel in chair to look back at client
Client: happy tears

Being a client’s safe space to come out is a gift that keeps on giving.

Pavel

I love that. More gamerunning folk should feel… allowed, for lack of a better term, to do this sort of thing.

@Jumpscare said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

That means that since the birth of BMD, no other game has negatively affected MU* players as broadly or as painfully as Star Wars: Age of Alliances.

A board of women, queers, and allies reacting strongly against sexual misconduct and anti-reporting prejudice… Isn’t that how we started in the first place?

For posterity, I present thus:

Tracy is a man and he is a very hansome and manly man.He likes women a lot and women like him too but men think he is compitishion.He has very long brown shiny hair everywhere and a little blue eyes that are mostly green but very hansome anywya.You can tell a lot of things from his eyes.He has a very big bulge in his jeans where the dick would be and it is not a sock because it makes all women almost orgasm with desire.Behind him is a very firm muscled ass that makes you want to slap it and play with it in lots of ways but only if your a women.If you are a man you will die if you touch it because Tracy is strong and very not Gay.If you are a women he winks and smiles at you and thinks you have a nice personality.If you are a man again he frowns at you and it makes you not hit on him or on any women when hes here.He likes lots of women very much and likes very few men but not as boyfriends.And he has a shitr which is nice and blue.I mean shirt sorry.

@hobos said in Bannings:

From what I’ve seen, you are a people with boundless empathy, but you choose who to direct that towards.

Not to really engage in the debate, here, but that’s literally the same as everyone else.

So obviously it’s a very dark time, horrid things incoming and so forth…

But did anyone actually have The Onion buying Infowars on their 2024 bingo cards?

Pavel

Me. I’m a good thing about mushing.

And this isn’t a throw away joke, or an ego thing, or whatever. But I’ve finally been able to arrive at the conclusion that yes, my RP is good. My events are good. My being present on a game is good. And I’m finally free to feel that I am good enough.

So there. Me. I’m a good thing about mushing.

@Warma-Sheen said in Los Angeles 2043: A Blade Runner MUSH - Discussion:

Just because you can open a game on your own doesn’t mean you should.

You should. It might last, it might not, but at least stuff’s being made even for a moment.

@GF We’re for taco Tuesdays, no-pants Fridays, and the violent and utter overthrow of the capitalistic, white-supremacist patriarchy. And tea.

Tenor links may not work, so you might have to have or build your own gif collection. Mebbe.

Pavel

@MisterBoring But one can still add gifs with the image link button. Less handy dandy more clunky monkey, but it’s an option!

Pavel

@MisterBoring Either that or the game just produces the generic “Huh?” ‘I don’t understand’ message until you type it out.

Pavel

Tempted, now, to write some passive-aggressive code snippet that looks for the words ‘how do I’ on a game’s Help or Newbie channel and just pages with “have you tried fuckin’ lookin’ it up, champ?”

ETA: I’ll be nice and make it only send for characters created 30+ days ago.

Pavel

One of the main considerations would be exactly what one is making OOCly interactive. Bingo is an excellent idea, as that requires nothing but luck of the draw. I’d veer away from anything that requires skill or talent; my character might be an expert poker player, for instance, but I can’t tell a royal flush from a toilet hand.

Another idea would be to harken back to the 1980s video game scene and include/manufacture the so-called “feelies”—an in character news letter, an actually written (or typed, but with a fancy font) letter from a contact, or similar. Less interactive, but still a neat little novelty that some folks in the TTRPG space use quite effectively.

@Roz said in MU Peeves Thread:

begging people to at least try a single keyword search in the extensive documentation of the thing they’re always asking about

As an extension to this, when giving help please link/direct people to the help documentation rather than/as well as providing the answer.

Pavel

I wish my dreams were like that. Mine always involve having to fight entropy with my third-form science teacher Mr. Wilson.

@Wizz said in MU Peeves Thread:

isn’t the, uh…point of TS that it’s still collaborative writing, tho?

I think in cases where you’re going to be such a nutter about it (like above) it’s likely less about the collaboration and more about the power trip. But still that would require another person, yes.

Pavel

@Roz said in MU Peeves Thread:

this is a weird rule for a game to have

I suppose it might make sense on a game where new characters explicitly can’t have known each other previously… but I imagine it’s more likely a case of a staffer with more than a few bad experiences crying “enough is enough.”
