My money was always on Larry Nassar but then he went to prison. I’m fresh out of Jill the guest theories. Glad that guy got shanked and air holed a bunch though.

@STD said in MU Peeves Thread:
… Dare I ask, who is this Jill the Guest?
Jill has been around the MU* community for over a decade now. I’m not sure when the earliest Jill sightings were, but I remember becoming aware of her in the early 2010s?
She connects to games as a guest and pages people with female-sounding names. The conversation tends to start off innocuous: saying hi, maybe asking about the game, etc. Small talk. Eventually it tends to get steered to hobbies, and usually athletics in some fashion, and then it’s about high school athletics, and then it’s about the weird physicals her girls sports team all had to undergo to play sports.
She’ll dip fast if you push back or act weirded out at any point in the conversation, especially if you actively identify her as Jill or guess where the thread of conversation is going. It’s weird conversation, and it’s definitely not an appropriate line to bring up with strangers, but I think because of how quick she is to bolt, most people tend to find her more vaguely baffling but not threatening.

What Roz said above. It’s clearly a two part thing for them. You’ve got:
- The medical/sports fetish part.
- The unwitting participation of whatever female character bit they’re talking to.
As soon as Jill realizes you know who they are and what they’re doing, it ruins it for them. Last night they apparently bounced from City of Glass and moved on to Sixth Estate within a matter of minutes, dropping off each one once they realized the people they were speaking to weren’t giving them one or the other.

@Aria Yep she was cruising around last night.

I’ve never been so grateful for cosmic timing in my life. So glad my one night offline for like, a month now, came just in time to manage to miss that undesired blast from a long ago past.

Wow.
This is one MU* crazy I’ve been able to avoid even rumors of. It’s like hearing about a cryptid.
I sometimes wonder how I have being in the hobby for so long, but only had the lightest brushes with most of the notorious sorts. Is it luck or do I not present the vibe Bad Actors are looking for? Either way, I am grateful.

@STD if you tend to have male PCs or they have names that are more gender neutral, you most likely won’t hear from jill

I am so weirdly excited to hear that Jill the Guest is back! If there are any new MUSHers on CoG, this is like a total eclipse event for them!

@Roz I believe it was Auspice a number years ago who was able to actually get an extended conversation with Jill to the point where they almost explained what they do and why they do it.
I know a couple of people have this curiosity about Jill. Are they a troll. Is it someone just that mentally traumatized. Is it just one long running bit. Is it some strange combination of all of these things.
These days I try to view Jill as something akin to an MU community cryptid. Knowing the truth would probably ruin the mystique.

@helvetica Shit, if I recall there’s a Jill thread on MUSB from so many years ago. I’d wager it’s probably buried in there somewhere.
-
@helvetica You’re a national treasure. I had to flinch and look away from that thread in second-hand embarrassment. Oh my God.
-
ETR - I missed @helvetica link the actual post before I posted. Nothing to see here.
-
@helvetica I was really high last night and I could not for the life of me understand what you meant by this reply. And I didn’t want to sound really stupid for asking for context.
Then I realized today the text was a link and it all clicked in my head.

@Testament You know what, that text was unclear and the pic ended up being way bigger than it so it was like almost hidden? And I saw your response, and I decided to just let it ride because it would all sort itself out
-
@helvetica Realization makes Current Testament want to Discord Past Testament and ask; “You good, my dude?”

I am begging game-runners to stop using ChatGPT.

@Tez which one where lol

@Tez What if we dump game logs in to the ChatGPT database, so we add random game lore to the list of ‘Chicken can definitely be cooked at 130F’ and ‘Some people say if you run off a cliff, you will not start to fall so long as you do not look down’ results?
