How things change when people start abandoning your game because you actively support perverts. Well, most perverts.

This is not most perverts! This is my stand. My line in the sand. Being a pervert does not make you a sex pest. I am a pervert. I like the spicy typing and getting weird. I also always make sure that my partner is into it and comfortable and knows they can walk away at any time with no consequences or hard feelings.

Sex pests do none of these and are the bane of this hobby.

I’m just echoing some shit that’s been said already. Mostly in solidarity with the fact that this isn’t just me. I hate looking at +where and seeing people who are my friends doing stuff together without me. I know this is selfish, but my brain worms tell me ‘Of course they’re playing without you. You suck shit and should just go cry in a corner you pathetic waste of space.’

Then I go cry in a corner as a pathetic waste of space instead of doing the smart thing and asking to join in because I hate being a bother to people I like. Which just reinforces the brain worms. Which makes the cycle worse.

I gotta get better at asking for RP.

So my friend talked me into coming there to play with them. I have yet to be sex pested, there’s events and stuff going on, and besides being small and convoluted, I haven’t had much issue.

Except BOY is this game in need of catchup mechanics for new players. Badly. More XP or something. There’s a lot of dinosaurs on this game, and if you aren’t one, time to farm +noms for xp.

And do not get me started on the force user shit. Starting as a padawan is a great story, but holy shit do you suck ass at space wizardry.

Honestly the three big issues with HA are thus:

The cult of Vorpal, who is a piece of shit asshole who drove my good friend from the game for the crime of saying ‘Maybe don’t be toxic about shipping comic book characters?’ regarding that group’s apparently vile hatred of Beast Boy x Raven.

Chaucer in general, who is a shithead asshole AND a bad writer with terrible ideas about how things should work all the while being a condescending fuckwad.

Finally, somehow the least egregious of the three being the fact that NOTHING HAPPENS. There’s no metaplot, there’s capped scenes run for cliques and groups and if you’re not in on them fuck you, drink coffee with randos to keep your character.

(Edited 'cause I typoed Vorpal)

@GF Sounds like <Censored because I don’t support TERFS, but you know who I’m talking about>

So, hear me out.

A Lords and Ladies game set a few years after the end of the Wheel of Time.

You’ve got your nations and factions doing all of the politics and parties.

You get your Aes Sedai and Asha’man push and pull.

You’ve got a couple Forsaken and the dwindling bands of Shadowspan trundling about.

This is a great idea. Someone should make this.

I played there for a bit and just walked away recently. I played the most recent Jason Todd and a handful of others. My beefs are not massive, but they are many. Like how cliquey the game is, that the activity requirements exist and yet there is nothing to do but social rp on a game about superheroes. How you can’t do anything quote-unquote big without permission.

Oh, and also they have all these AU folks around but told me that Terry FUCKING McGinnis wasn’t viable for some bullshit answer. The real reason being it would hurt the Batman player and staff pet’s fee fees.

I might still be mad.

@Jennkryst

it’s for the best, because ‘weird and horny’ is cape games’ stock in trade.

like an even split between like housefraus who have never read anything but YA romance and comics, guys badly pretending to be lesbians w other guys badly pretending to be lesbians, guys with basic “alpha male” power fantasies

and then people who know the lyrics to every Genitorturers song by heart

sometimes a small group of gay guys, which used to bring a buuuuuuunch of fujoshis

I just want to play sad boys who can only show their emotions by punching dudes in clown makeup.

This has gone from sketchy as hell, to absolute comedy. You can’t ban TS. You can’t. People are gonna do it. They’re gonna hide, but they’re gonna do it. This is a horny hobby.

Also, lol lmao, why fight so hard for underage PCs? It makes no sense. All y’all needed to do was go ‘No Players or characters under the age of 18’, and you’d have had half this forum in cgen already.

@bored I think you have her confused with someone else. Tart doesn’t do that shit, she’s just a bitch and puts up with no shit.! (I say this lovingly)

So I’ve been thinking about it. I’ll run this game. I’ll herd these cats and hit people with sticks.

I just can’t code anything. And I’m not a huge ares fan, even though it’d make everything but Channeling easy.

So if any kind helpers out there want involved or have suggestions, I’ll listen.

Getting this shit L I V E

State of the Game? 17:44:05

Happy New Year, all. Welcome to 2025. I hope it goes well for everyone.

In the spirit of fresh starts, I wanted to ask if there could be an update on the state of Liberation? We all know the game has been basically frozen from the top down for a while now. Many of us genuinely sympathize that RL can happen and take us away from our beloved hobbies.

But it’s been a long time now. Confusion has grown into concern and that concern is now turning into unrest. I know several players who have already left and several more who are looking to leave. Not because they don’t like this game or the people in it, but because we’ve been left in the dark for so long with no clue if the game is abandoned, on hiatus, rebooting, coming back…anything.

Some official word from on high would do wonders to help answer the questions that have been floating around since this past summer. I hope everything is okay…but I suspect it isn’t, and my heart goes out to anyone who is suffering hard times right now.

We don’t need personal details, either. Simply the answer to this burning question: “Is Liberation going to reopen to activity anytime soon?”

Then, swiftly after

[Public] Siren says, “Hello folks. I was the one who removed Gwendolyn’s post from the +bb board. While I understand where she was coming from, and empathize with (and adore) her as a player, I didn’t think it was going to lead to a particularly productive discussion. It also minimizes the work that myself, Reverie, Wormwood, and Ceres – as well as all of you players – have been doing to keep things moving and fun around here. Though I do know that she was not alone in her sentiment of a feeling of slowness lately. I’ll refer to Sundance’s post (1/47) about the slow moving jobs until the New Year, which we have only just turned the corner on. Thanks everyone for continuing to stay positive, and have fun on this game we all adore.”

This might get real spicy.

This is awful. And how did I know the Cam was gonna come up?

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

Like any game with obscenely ancient legacy characters, maybe it’s time to just wipe the slate?

Or quit, which is what sane people seem to be doing. That works too.

I don’t regret quitting. I just want a better Star Wars game with some crunch to it and that doesn’t allow minors. None of which exist right now.

How about we just don’t let the righties play in any of these games? They shouldn’t be allowed to have fun.

Jubilee doesn’t do shit except idle in her room and TS Noriko and complain about things involving the X-Men happening and then justifying why she can’t go to these events.

Heroes Assemble is such a stupid fucking game where half the cool characters should be set open because their players are useless.

A Perfect Circle - Fiddle And The Drum

I’ve been tempted for a while, but I gotta say. The open roster is, well, lackluster. So, enjoy, I guess?

@Cobalt It brown, but soon will be gone in the biannual shearing.
