    Hi! So, my attempt at recruiting strangers attending a panel discussion into making characters on a MUSH did not pan out so well. Somehow, writing it down in text like I did just now, it’s not so surprising.

    Regardless, we are left with this purpose-built newb-friendly MUSH, which we would like to invite folks to join. If you’ve got friends who might like an easy intro to the hobby, if you’ve got family who’s always wondered what you’re up to, if you’ve got spaces where you could share an easy intro:

    host: darcness.net port: 4209

    The premise of this game is that you are a person in cyberpunk Toronto c. 2056, where the streets are full of evil robots called Buffaloids, and you have to connect with other players in order to get the info you need in order to join the resistance. The game will last one more week.

  • Conversations and questions about current, upcoming, and advertised games and the hobby as a whole.

    Player linking bits I think is a whole topic in and of itself with different ramifications than staff bits. Staff bits have an implied power aspect and control difference.

    I don’t even think it’s done for ill will, but it can still be jarring. If you think person X is this cool person that you have been playing with, spawning ideas with, cracking jokes with, and maybe sharing RL information with – and then you find out they are someone else. It’s a trust issue. It doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world, but it can disillusion a person. If that happens, sadly every thing done on either alt becomes suspect. Then it starts the brain worm of what else weren’t they upfront about. These kind of small choices have large and lasting impressions.

    As a player, you absolutely have a right to complete privacy for your comfort, protection, or preference. As an admin on a game, you have a bit less. You don’t have to disclose your personal information ever, however, you do have to disclose you are the CEO of the game that others are playing. Like stated before it’s the implied trust part of it.

    That’s at least my thoughts, doesn’t mean it’s right, but it’s my opinion.

    @Gashlycrumb Also, chances are most of the people you (general not specific) have a problem with have a similar opinion of you so 1) Why would they care? 2) Why would they be surprised? People are allowed to avoid games because of Staff (whether your own issue or in support of someone else) so it seems hypocritical to not allow Staff the same option especially when they’re the one putting in the effort to run the game.

    @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.

    Disclaimer: I haven’t tried any of these but a lot have a really cool premise, I think.
