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.

@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.

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.

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?

@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.

@CuriousGamer said in Macha Awareness (And Unappreciation) thread:

@Tez There seems to be a few bad actor threads now, would it make sense to put them into their own ‘Bad Actor’ kind of topic at this point? I know there’s been a couple discussions of others in the not too distant past as well.

No. We don’t need a whole section of the forum devoted to talking shit about specific people.

Drew Struzan, the artist who created some of the most recognizable posters for movies including “Star Wars,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Blade Runner” and “Back to the Future,” has died. He was 78.

@InkGolem People like me but older and somehow worse.

There’s a lot of hearsay and more than a few stories that are difficult to substantiate from that particular group around that particular time. Practically, any bad thing that could be attributed to them eventually was.

Whether Spider was or wasn’t a member, they certainly took the blueprint and ran with it in later years.

Those who RPed with Seanan McGuire don’t tend to speak of it.

@somasatori said in Multisphere pressure:

Cognitive reframing around running MUSHes.

I don’t think you can CBT yourself into better MU design.

@Noraaa I don’t have the ST ADHD but I definitely have the character concept ADHD, wherein a character concept kicks down my door at three am and screams in my half-awoken face “HELLO YOU ARE NOW OBSESSED WITH BRIAN FUCKING BLESSED FOR NO REASON HERE MAKE A CHARACTER AND MAKE IT FIT WOD.”

@RightMeow said in Your first game?:

Castle D’Image

I vaguely recall poking my head in on this game at some point, but I can’t remember an iota of what it was about. D’you have much recollection?

I’m largely in agreement with Pyrephox, surprising nobody, but I also have to acknowledge that I just don’t have the time nor the capacity for the level of moderation a historically authentic game would probably require. And if I don’t have the time, I can hardly make demands of others to have such time or spend such effort.

So I’ll most likely content myself with playing pseudo-historical dress-up on a MU instead of anything even remotely verisimilitudinous.

@MisterBoring The first step would be finding or making tweezers so we can all have our generally attractive PBs.

@Raistlin said in Missed Settings:

Star Trek. Though after putting some serious thought into running a Star Trek game, I think I can see why there aren’t more of them.

Time was that you couldn’t spit without hitting a Trek MU of some kind. There was a resurgence, of a kind, when the first of the Chris Pine Trek films came about but then nothin’. I think ATS might still be bumpin’ along, but I haven’t even looked at it in years.
