@Smile I kinda feel the same way, but with crafting. Ida always feels easier to play because when I can’t people (which it feels like I’ve struggled to do for awhile now, even without softball), I can craft. It makes me still feel useful and like I’m contributing even when my energy isn’t there for rp.

@Smile said in A Constructive Arx Thread:

Is it weird that sometimes it’s easier to play my NPCs than my PCs? Helping seed metaplot info or other character info is easier than actively forming character interactions.

ETA: Probably as RL has gotten insanely hectic. It’s not that I hate interpersonal interactions but yeah.

I don’t find this weird at all. For the last few months, most of the RP I’ve done has been GMing scenes for other players as a Player Storyteller. I sometimes find GMing easier than trying to figure out my own character stuff because I know it’ll just be a scene or two rather than a whole series of steps to accomplish a task or where I need to go next for my own stuff. That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy my characters but sometimes they take more energy than I might have at the moment to figure stuff out.

I got enough clues to get a neat little REVELATION and huzzah, the puzzle is starting to look like an actual image, fancy that. I also learned about @families, when trying to figure out family tree stuff and/or marriages as I attempt to drag in a couple new players. (My efforts didn’t really work, or I am too dumb to have seen it, but it’s fine.)

… but also, I would kill for some programming skills to make a basic little searchable thing. I do have an Excel doc with #, Name, Type, but no idea how to lob tags or text into that without making things extra tricksy.

Family tree stuff

[BloodAngel]

@Jennkryst I have always loved the clue system! It’s so fun to try and piece it all and then get a revelation.

[Duke Whisky]

Just read the action result from Malvici a first read over, and that was incredible. Thank you so much staff for the time on that, was such a complete story. Chills from reading it and I’m sure others feeling the same way.

Edited gave to read because autocorrect is evil at reminding me how illiterate I am

Watching this stuff come together has been amazing. AMAZING.

I log off for FORTY MINUTES and someone leaves WAR all over the place.

[Jennkryst]

@Snackness I don’t know what’s going on, so this does not in any way affect any of my choices for maybe future alts.

It has finally happened! WAAAAR. WAAR IS AMONG US!

I feel like this has been Victus for the last decade.

[Jennkryst]

All this excitement, and I’ve got like… three other folks on the roster I am kind of glancing at and debating pouncing on two of them before someone else grabs 'em, but 1) which two, and 2) why am I doing this to myself, arglebarglewaugh?!?!?

[Jennkryst]

I like how some characters who folks had problems getting into are getting audited so that they might be picked up easier (except for Ysbail, I thoroughly enjoy jumping into the deep end, despite all my flailing to the contrary), but with the GREEN WALL OF DOOM, do we know if those audit-characters will be getting said audits any time soon?

[Roz]

@Jennkryst I wouldn’t expect it anytime soon. That’s my impression, at least. I don’t think it’s been high priority.
