@watno said in Pose Sizes:

@Rinel You didn’t thwack him with a cane or threaten to, so…not normal for you.

She had just talked to Orazio and was extremely tired, and it was a very rare thing for her to threaten violence in a temple. Even Tehom’s. I think she only did it once, and it was over an exceptionally big deal.

This one is a bit more of an OOC amusement, and technically not MU* related, but it still makes me laugh, so I will share.

There was an RP mission going on, and there were a couple different characters along. Our two main players I will call Kaz and Quill. Kaz is still learning to fight, and as such is taken aback when a group of enemies sets on the party.

Kaz rolls really well. Remarkably well. The best kind of dice you can get well. Kaz decides to RP it as kicking one of the enemies in the balls.

Enemies have been listed by numbers, so Kaz pose identifies the target of this kick as [1]. The thing about this system is that… listing with these brackets will pull a name from the party list.

What Kaz means to pose is,

Kaz , now spun around, is seeing red. How DARE this guy try and stab him from behind! Bringing his leg back, he immediately sends his foot right into [1]'s crotch before turning and giving Quill a thumbs up for the attempted help.

What everyone actually sees:

@Tat @farfalla @tsar I’m sure Fantorith (he was so cool 😎) is somehow related to the belly-dancing sky-cow.

It’s a privilege that can often feel like a punishment. I’ve done everything from applications to building to plot master to headwiz and I love, LOVE seeing people having fun and getting involved in things. I loved doing apps too, not only to help people really get what they were going for, but I think I called every problem player we ever had from their initial application/reaction to being asked to tweak things.

But it’s work. And I don’t know what’s popular now, it seems to flip flop back and forth, but I was always a firm believer in if you became staff you didn’t get XP for the stuff you ran. You could participate in things with your PCs and get XP, but unlike how PRP or volunteer GMs could be rewarded, that incentive went away when you ran things with your staffbit and you shouldn’t be running things on your PC at that point. The real reward was getting buy in from other players and getting them involved! And of course being able to dig into people’s sheets or backgrounds or plot notes or metaplot outlines or whatever that weren’t available to the general public.

While dealing with problem players is never, ever fun and no matter how hard you try there’s always going to be people that think you’re treating them unfairly, I still lean that it’s more privilege. It’s just the best feeling to entertain a grid full of players who keep coming back for more of your stories. To know that people are enjoying themselves and see them growing their own stories from seeds you threw out there or chasing a mystery that you put in a post one day that no one noticed for months. It’s just fun and when you have the time and bandwidth for it, worth the headaches that come with it.

@Testament Oh, of course not. Though sometimes the actions of player characters make it inevitable - depending on the kind of game you’re running.

In D&D, for instance, death is on the table at my table. It’s not creative per see, but it gives the world a verisimilitude that adds to the satisfactory nature of a story. In the view of my players and me, of course.

@Cornpopped THANK YOU

My confession is that in the past two years, I’ve played on almost every game, but I rarely last longer than two weeks.

I just like trying new things.

Also, funny story, there’s one game that I’d like to try, but its canon contains real-world events that I was a part of IRL. Which means I’m technically canon in that game. So I think I’m a little too close to the source material to play there, haha.

Also whatever classifies as a “science nerd” in the theme, or total occult junkie.

@KarmaBum is letting me play Janitor: The MUSH on Glitch so 15/10 rating for me.

@Herja @kalakh @sao @Evilgrayson

Encouraging me to be the evil character I dream of being, in their own ways, and listening to me scream as I struggle. It’s a small thing to anyone else maybe but I appreciate you guys because it’s really really really difficult for me. Maybe one day I’ll graduate to stealing food from babies and mixing skittles, m&ms, and reeses in the same candy bowl.

it’s so hard guys

@Snackness I think we need to call in @hellfrog to tell us everything we need to know about smolfrog.

@tsar If it’s not horny jail I’m not interested.

I’m bad about linking my ares handles, but that is me on Glitch if anyone is wandering around and wants to say what’s up!

lol I can’t say I wasn’t amused by the thorough fact-checking he received.

When the world goes up, I like to imagine what weird shit will manage to live in the wreckage we leave behind.

Like mimics.
