@Artemis

However, there are reasons that I’m not willing to commit to relationship RP and if I do commit to it, I have an OOC discussion of things I would like to avoid.

Some people get so invested that it’s scary and I prefer to avoid that.

As the photo was deleted and there was no harm.

The harm was that it was taken at all, wtf

@Pavel

@Pavel said in Making MU*s more OOCly Interactive:

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.

it’s 2001, and I am updating jubilee’s in-character Livejournal

it’s 2026, and i am suggesting in-character livejournals social media or whatever

@Prototart the Prince Batman soundtrack was the first cassette tape I ever bought for myself with my own allowance

I don’t remember mine but there’s a really good chance it was one of those Cleopatra Records cover CDs.

summerland and electra made me blind

I still want a Marvel game set in San Francisco and Utopia

and an Aberrant game

and an all-OC Mutants and Masterminds game

and a pony

@Tez said in Age Verification & Games:

I’m not even talking about Discord’s age verification. I’m talking about RP servers on Discord being like ‘verify your age by sending us your ID’. I’m talking about users feeling like they need to do it.

ETA: I need to clarify. This is on top of Discord’s systemic age verification. This is an additional layer of USERS asking OTHER USERS in SHARED SERVERS to send them their ID.

Girl that is nuts there is 100% some ID theft ring running a Sonic RP server with five thousand defense contractors in it

@RightMeow said in Age Verification & Games:

@Tez I don’t discord. I know. I know. I’m old and out of touch or something. But… they want your ID? I guess I get it, but that makes me uncomfortable. Is that normal?

They haven’t asked for mine bc my account’s so old, but I’m 100% out if they ever do. I don’t even trust them enough for to pay for Nitro, no way am I giving them my ID.

@Pavel said in MU* Wishlists:

@Pacha And when did you develop this taste in luxuries?

just walked into Waffle House and asked for ortolan

@RightMeow said in AI In Poses:

I can’t imagine they are getting much out of the scene and I feel bad that they are robbing themselves (and others) from the authentic experience.

I started doing this when I was like 8 or 9, and I totally sucked but I don’t think even then it would’ve appealed to me to totally fake it that way. The right way to fake it is to just shamelessly imitate somebody you think is really good until somebody else thinks you’re really good and then spend the rest of your life quietly assured one day everybody will realize you’re a total fraud

@chorus said in Staff Bits Linking Handles:

@renaveleigh would have been too much to ask to just not pick petty fights with players, huh?

for the kind of people who tend to run superhero games, yes, that is way too much to ask or expect or even to hope for

(tend to, coin is cool)

@Wizz

I’m safe until an AI can accidentally send a TS pose over Public because it’s been awake for 30 hours

@Pavel said in MU Peeves Thread:

@RightMeow Would starting your own game be the equivalent of having a baby to save the toxic relationship?

Because I’ve considered it rather seriously for more than a few moments of late.

what kind

@RightMeow said in MU Peeves Thread:

My peeve is that this hobby is like a teenage toxic ex to me.

wow you look great these days girl

@Ominous said in MU Peeves Thread:

What if a server has a special room (OOC makes the most sense, but I could also work with the right flavor) that one has to be in to spend XP? Then people couldn’t raise skills mid-scene without very obviously ducking out to do so.

This was, like, every oWoD place in the late 90s and early 2000s.

bonus post, here’s Vorpal trying to intimidate me during all the original UH stuff using my RL name, but using the wrong name

@Colette said in What's up with the two Age of Heroes games?:

Maybe you should put less trust into the gossip you’re getting.

I was present for all of this shit. Even as fucked as my memory can be, I trust it way more than I trust someone who’s told a bunch of lies that are laughably transparent to anyone who ever had the misfortune of dealing with staff on UH or HA.

I was super off on 7 years, tho. Chalk it up to sleeping four hours across three days. Going off the logs I can find, looks like it was closer to 3.

PS for the record and since someone asked me, the person who uses the handle @Ruby on Ares is emphatically not the Ruby that I have referenced. Ares Ruby is charming, while UH Ruby (common characters: Rogue, Lara Croft, Wonder Woman) is a mendacious cretin who spent years viciously attacking any woman who tried to speak out against the predators she attached herself to.

PPS, yes, I wish MSB still existed as an archive, the behavior of basically everyone involved was on full display.
