Whenever someone launches a new game, I’m always open to sharing my banlist of sex pests and nazis with the game runner.
Conversely, I’m also open to vouching for great players.

@Cobalt Absolutely no apology needed. Appreciate holding us accountable.

RE: Empty Night - A Dresdenverse Gameposted in Game Ads
@Roadspike Yeah, I’m sorry, I was looking for ‘Salish’ vs ‘Coast Salish’. If I had just used the search feature on my internet browser I’d have clued in earlier.
I’m sorry again.

RE: Empty Night - A Dresdenverse Gameposted in Game Ads
@Cobalt Yeah, I know that there are a lot of languages spoken by the peoples of the Salish Sea area, but our language list is really long already–and we didn’t want people to have to hyperspecialize themselves out of being able to talk to one another. So we just have Coast Salish to cover them all, even though we know that there are a dozen or more branches that are all unique (if related).

@Roadspike I must have missed Coast Salish when I was going through the language list! I’m sorry.
No, that looks pretty accurate. Technically the Klallam have their own language, but it’s a branch of the Salish language and I’m not sure if it is worth quibbling about.
(I am from a coast Salish tribe. Though I grew up near the Elwha Klallam, and my school taught Klallam.)

RE: Doodlesposted in No Escape from Reality
@Muse I will post here again when I can offer the Doodles!
I sometimes do commissions but it’s stressful to price them (and occasionally stressful to get paid for them), so I haven’t lately. Typically when I’m on a game I do offer random doodles, Halloween costume characters, Christmas postcards, etc to the playerbase, I’m just not on a MU right now. Hopefully will be again soon!

RE: Tough Callsposted in Rough and Rowdy
@hellfrog That’s a hard lesson to learn, especially for us nerds with wonky brains. “If not friend, why friend shaped” might be a meme but it definitely resonates in some of my previous interactions on MUs (and in RL as well, let’s be real).
I have thankfully had the privilege of building some OOC bonds, but 99.999999% of people are like… colleagues. We work at the same RP mine, we might have a group project together, but we’re not going to the pub after the RP is done and I’m not going to write you a Christmas card.
It’s a really hard distinction to draw, especially when young.

RE: Tough Callsposted in Rough and Rowdy
@Yam Nip what in the bud in strangers? Just the general…combo of sensitivity/insensitivity that is ‘being difficult’?
I used to get a lot of shit for telling people on arx: 'people you rp with are not your friends. treat them like friendly strangers and don’t presume getting along in rp scenes means you are building real ooc bonds"
I was just in a position where I could see so many problems were the result of ‘i thought X and i were on the same page, now they have done something off-script and I am feeling HURT so their actions were done on purpose to HURT ME’

RE: Warma-Sheenposted in Rough and Rowdy
@hellfrog said in Warma-Sheen:
I just wanted to know what the mindset is that makes someone sock puppet on a new game instead of, idk, trying to rp.
While I obviously can’t speak to anyone’s inner world without having many a chat with them, I can speak to mine back when I did this kind of thing in my very, very, very younger days: I wanted to Be The Best. Probably from a lack of validation at home, I sought reinforcement and attention elsewhere, to that end I wanted to be the richest character, or the combattiest character, or the bestest starfighter pilot or whatever. (ETA: This also included MUCH… ‘creative storytelling’ in my real life. Nothing majorly harmful, but very “I have a girlfriend in Canada” kind of vibe.)
Admittedly, these were all on code-heavy, RP-required-but-lite MUDs… but I imagine the same holds true in many other circumstances. Lack of validation and an inability to intrinsically motivate.
