@Gashlycrumb said in “All the World’s a MUSH”: Genre as Destiny in Collaborative Roleplay Behaviour:

I bet If I made a My Little Pony '80’s edition MUSH and ran it like WoD with separate Pony, Unicorn, Sea Pony and Pegasus spheres (and winged unicorns a super-special restricted sphere, oooh) and a lot of seckritz and attempts at equine intrigue and very little transparency, it would, like a WoD MU, produce some high-level vicious fuckery if it lasted any length of time.

Exactly. And we’ve already seen that same exact sort of behavior on sci-fi games. The behavior is tied to game design elements (factions, PVP) that are not dependent upon genre.

WHY DOES THE STARCH HAVE TO GO?!

My gut reaction was to say that I’d prefer people be able to delete threads.

But, having missed the thread in question that I guess started this whole conversation, I have actually come around to thinking that threads should not be deleted.

Because it really bothers me that I don’t know which of you assholes were being assholes to a new game runner and I’ve been deprived of my opportunity to adjust my perceptions of you.

Tom Wilkinson. 😞

… updated? I’m playing again?

but i don’t think anything needs to be ‘proved’ here.

Sure it does. It’s just done on an individual basis rather than consensus or whatever.

@TNP Howl

@hobos VK/Hella lies. A lot. She did the same shit on Arx that she was doing a decade ago.

I missed you when you got yourself booted from Arx, but, well. I hope you manage to get yourself out of the hole she’s encouraging you to dig for her.

I’m neither an expert nor a local, but these seem like good causes worth more attention. Thanks.

When the scene finally slows down enough for me to finish an emote and I post it, feeling good about myself…

Only to realise my client was scrolled up and everyone has moved on and my emote now makes no sense. 😭

…how’s your back?

Fucked, thanks, but it’s been that way since the early 90s, so…

Yes, I was around when this desc first started doing the rounds. It’s a treasure.
