What Is Your Preferred Play Style?

11th hour addition, but I’m team “whatever gets me good RP.”
My IDEAL would be 100% live scenes, all the time, but that’s not realistic for most people (myself included) so most of the time I do distract, where it might be live sometimes but then someone has a meeting or whatever, or is just doing other things and takes 20 minutes to pose. And that works nicely, it’s basically live but a little slower than that. I also think I write better in more live-type scenes. I think it helps me to delve into things more when it’s happening in the moment.
BUT, I know some people who are amazing writers, and all they can do is async. So I will do async with them so that I may bask in their amazingness.
Re: the +where/active scenes debate… I have absolutely been harassed before by people who see I’m scening with someone and make assumptions about what we’re doing, e.g. You Stole My Wife! (I did not steal any wives.) Or “You’re posing there and not for me whyyyyy.” So I’d be pro-removing listings for private scenes. Logs posted are the better gauge for whether a game is actually active anyway.

Buuuuuuut that’s precisely the sort of thing a wife-stealer would say!
Seriously though, I honestly don’t have strong feelings one way or another about private scene listings but for the sake of your argument because boundary-busting creepers love to creep and bust boundaries, I’m pro-removal as well.
You made the most convincing argument.

Yep, I’m also pro removal of boundary-busting creepers.
Hiding information to appease them? Not so much. Though as mentioned, individuals are welcome to use the
hidecommand:hide and unhide - Controls whether your grid location shows up on the who/where list and live scene list.

I’m stealing 1) all wives, and 2) also all husbands.

@Roz I actually do recommend this course of action, because even though I had to deal with someone paging me nonstop like “how could you do this to me” and “she was happy only playing with me until YOU came along,” that wife became one of my best friends. And still is!
Tl;dr steal wives, get paid $$$

@Roz You’d be stealing me from someone eventually.
Are you sure? (Y/N)

Lack of transparancy encourages them.

I think there’s a difference between “lack of transparency” and “privacy” and people conflate the two a lot.
