Anything that requires a massive scene attendance but no one but a couple people have anything to actual do. This is absolutely something that can be done on their own and then have the log posted to a wiki and the +bb system.
This could have been an email. In Scene form.

I don’t know why but I feel it’s worth mentioning that while it’s a new(ish) thing in MU-space it’s not new new. It’s a big component of F-List, and it’s before my time but I know there were people doing play-by-post on forums and even over email and fucking Usenet in the 90s.
I still remember when continuing a scene meant someone had to manually save a log to a txt file, then post the last couple poses on the continue so people remembered where they at.
And ‘Timestops’. Nope, no more RP for that character till the scene was done. Whenever RL let everyone get free to finish.

Asynch: It’s like you and a friend swapping poses over @mail because
their dick game is completely and totally insaneNo one - and I mean no one’s - dick game is good enough to suffer through async.
Async is better than no sync sometimes. Some people are worth the effort and the patience.

One of my student’s parents called me racist multiple times last night in the conference.
It wasn’t even one of the crazy parents. It was a perfectly nice one. So it came out of left field.
We’re meeting tomorrow with the principal as interpreter, not a district one, or worse with apps because the translator didn’t show up, and I’m hoping we can figure things out, but I also just have this pit of dread in my stomach.
Hopefully it’s put down as a learning moment for you as a teacher. Finding out you’ve been messing up something after the fact can be stressful as all hell. But if others knew and didn’t help correct mistakes, They’re the assholes.
Having to pay out of pocket for laser cataract surgery. I clear my credit card debt to cover it. But the specialist wants payment via direct debit. Which my credit account does not do.

When you make a bigger payment on a credit card debt, but it doesn’t count as making the monthly payment because it cleared an hour before the system ticked over. And you have to make the real payment still as a result.

I suspect… that some of them are looking for a “specific” type of RP.
The other meaning of the acronym “CBT”
Also contractually obligated to make that joke.

I regret that I was not paying attention to the forum, because I definitely was going to go there. STOMPY ROBUTTS!
@Jennkryst said in Character Death:
Taking a moment to think about it and remember that the L5R 20 questions includes ‘how should your character die’ because the idea of death is always in the back of their minds… Im wondering if that is a factor in the L5R MUs I’ve seen not doing terribly great for too long, or if addressing this and everyone going into it knowing there is supposed to be an almost romanticized view on a good/noble death… if that will somehow help it out? I dunno.

It’s me, I want to play the forever-20-year-old, with a body that isn’t randomly falling apart from too much marching band.
jubilee can’t rollerblade anymore bc her knees are bad
Jubilee probably misses being a vampire just a little for precisely that.

Firan! I got you, old man.
Well, that one’s a gimme. If you can think of a stupid policy, Firan did it first and worst.
Firanites don’t have buttholes, remember.
They have cloacas?
Dropping spolier warnings here for some rants about the game.
You’d think with having to choose which city to save from a dragon attack would have more negative effect than grumbling and not healing you before otherwise business as usual.
Watching Ghilan’nain freak out at the end of Weisshaupt pretty much cemented the Saturday Morning sterilization vibes. I was seriously expecting a ‘CURSES!’. Or the like.
Harding being freaked out by Lucanis and Spite enough she looks ready to put an arrow through them at a moments notice like Williams could do to Wrex in Mass Effect. But nope, she never takes the shot. So you end up not having one party member actually doing in another for what might be the good of the team.
And if you choose Davrin to lead the second team at the end. Why did they have Assan follow him in when they could have had him pull up just short to stay with Rook on like a dying order? And choosing Harding instead apparently locks you out of getting the stinger in the crappy golden ending. It feels needless and excessively cruel there.
The moments for being tragic could really have been picked and been handled better.
I felt like I got a huge Saturday Morning Cartoon vibe from the whole thing. The claim that they couldn’t import anything from the Dragon Age Keep and decided to just keep everything past vague if not ignored feels kind of lazy when they still have that data. They easily could have just mined it and used the choices that were made most commonly for most things. Plot by consensus.

@Coin Wow, that was a clearly thought out, and well-worded response. Please +roll your social skill to see if it worked.

Ooooh, I’m sorry, better luck next time.
Hey @Wuff let’s make out?
Roll 'em. Hope you got 8-again on your dice.
Alright, LET’S GOOOOO!
I… um. What?
