Except that 95% of this thread is actually about specific stuff that it feels like this thread is always subtweeting.
Which is the nature of the beast, I guess. But it’s yet another ‘vaguebooking doesn’t actually exist/always seems intentional’ thing.

@Smile said in MU Peeves Thread:
Honestly, my biggest peeve is people who make decisions that get their characters in danger and rather than go along with it, they sort of like get frustrated at the consequences they get because “what else was my character going to do? Of course they were going to rage at the super evil and powerful mage! They are a rebel!”
Like the character isn’t real. You make the decisions. Own it.
“wahhhh what do you mean that people will react appropriately if I initiate conflict? People should just let me do what I want without retaliation, or they’re bullying me.”
Yes, I agree. It is really baffling when people don’t seem to realise they can guide their own experience and if they don’t like being in danger maybe they should pick fewer fights.

Hell, that’d make testing cheaper and easier.
Question 1: Do you MU?
If yes, you’re autistic. If no please answer questions 2 through 50129.

It’s just being an enthusiast of a once popular thing that’s largely seen as obsolete by the modern world! There’s no connection at all.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go start restoring this typewriter.

I met a new gamer on a new game a few weeks ago. And they asked through the grapevine about my reputation… The answer they got was:
Kind.
SUPER AuDHD!I’ve never felt more seen by a stranger in my life.

One of the truly foundational pieces of our game is:
“We will let you attempt to do anything that you want to do, and deliver the justifiable consequences as a result.”
I’ve always enjoyed playing characters that make the wrong IC decision because I think it OOC leads to better story telling, and that’s been a great source of fun for me. Sometimes a frustration for a ST that expects a story to go on rails, and I just kindly see myself out of those games if it happens too often.
On ours? “Oh, you want to murder the King? OK, tell me how.”
And that, kids, is How I Buried Your King.

@Alveraxus GMs who forget those magic words “You can certainly try,” are dissapointing.

@Alveraxus Wait, what game is this?

Heh, thanks. I don’t know how to link, but that’s to the ad, not the discussion.
Although reading that thread I am reminded of the person who asked if they could play a bug loyalist, and re-read my response and I am now sad that the person did not come on and play a scientist who took the bug’s side for some reason, because that really would have been totally awesome.

@Alveraxus Might have been like when my son asks if he can eat a milk bone and I say sure you can eat a milk bone. Then it’s no fun any more.

This would probably be a huge peeve of mine as well if I weren’t entirely oblivious.
It ends up amusing me in retrospect when I’m like, “Is that what he was trying to do? Huh.”
-
@Tributary I should try to emulate that attitude.

Unfortunately it’s one of those things that’s only entirely obvious to people who have lived experience of it, or it’s surrounds.
