@Third-Eye I can accept it as something rough but necessary. I recall putting a TON of emotional attention (unwise on my part) into getting through that window, and missing it meant I was pretty much out of RP with my pals for several months. Not really sure where I would’ve gone from there, but as an ST that has been thoroughly fried, I definitely understand.
Back to ratios though, I agree with tez that 5 players per ST is a decent number.
Tangentially related but I thought we kinda’ figured out that gating/limiting/waitlisting wasn’t ideal. As in the people that generally got waitlisted were more or less uninterested after several months passed.
I’m far, far more interested in PVE than anything else. I try to avoid political games. I guess I like a bit of what Tez described? Hopepunk? The world is shitty but we’re trying anyway. Trying to stick to mood here… desperation. That team stuff that Jenn mentioned is pretty appealing. FRENSHIP. Nuanced development in characters. I guess this really depends on your players.
Mostly in agreement with @L-B-Heuschkel’s points, it’s a hard no for me. While I don’t mind a well-placed time jump, I’m not really interested in the end of a character’s story. Takes a lot of work to build stuff up again. That said, this clearly has appeal judging by the results of that poll, so godspeed!
@Yam oh my god im missing option 30-45
Guys im so bad at this
If you want 30-45 pls just comment.

I feel this in my bones. I SEE YOU, BRIDGET.
I voted for (up to) 15. I ran a private game a few years ago for about about 8 players and it was SO MUCH WORK. Granted I was doing a lot of narrative story responses that were pretty personalized. Everyone had stuff going on. A bunch of creative people that you want to give plot attention to.
@Yam IT ATE MY DASHES and I can’t edit it. Oh well. Figure it out.
I omitted 0 because while the ideal game of course has 0 players, I’m trying to curb joke answers. 
@Coin Oh yeah, def. Makes sense. It’s a feedback loop thing for sure. I kind of assumed the question was more posed for what players want out of a MU, so that’s the perspective I took.
Games will definitely have dips and lulls in interest/activity. I’m always impressed by the ones that appear to power through. That’s one of the reasons I’d probably struggle to run a public thing. I’d lose all my interest when my buddies inevitably wander off
which is not a thing that a MU can control of course, just a factor to keep me around longer@Livia Lol yes, please. Modern Chronicles of Darkness, and some extra nudging where people get some kind of in-the-know token so not every scene outside your sphere involves tedious tiptoeing around secrets in a collaborative storytelling environment.
@Yam said in MU Peeves Thread:
I’m glum about a circumstance that I can’t really talk about with anyone and it’s just one of those things where I wish I had some no-judgment RP therapist to vent at. I feel dumb about it, but then also angry and hurt and offended and sad and scared/anxious. The answer is to walk away, but I don’t want to walk away. Meh. I’ll get over it.
This isn’t a new peeve, I’m just kinda reflecting how awful I felt a month ago about a very niche situation and how the feeling has completely faded from my mind. In the end the situation walked away from me (the game fell through) so I no longer had to deal with it, lol. I’m not sure what lesson I’ve learned here. 
I guess everything is fleeting.

@sao I GOT TO RP ABOUT THE STICK!! I think. Maybe. I might’ve just been examining every single object in your room and every object within an object. I feel like I ICly asked about that stick though.
Also how could I forget @Rathenhope who ALWAYS rolls with the punches for comedy. I am particularly fond of a fish-out-of-water character he played in a WoD game with me.
@Tez Oh my GOD how dare you compliment me SO STEALTHILY by @ing me
AND THE PPL THAT UPDOOTED YOU
I LOVE YOU ALL im cry ;_;
I love comedy in RP. A lot of my friends are fucking great at it and I am 100% shamelessly biased. My favorite kind of RP comedy is the kind where it’s not just amusing, it’s side-splitting hilarious and it affects YOU as the PLAYER so now you get to channel that mirth AUTHENTICALLY through your character.
There have been multiple times where I’ve posed my character trying to resume the flow of the scene but then having to continue laughing in the middle of it because I was still cracking up. Shout out to @ham @sao and @Pyrephox
Naturally, @Tez is amazing at it too. I haven’t played too much with @tsar but I STILL remember how amused I was when Erik came to patch up Gil’s broken nose. scar has been absolutely killing me.
