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!
they/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.
she/they
-
@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?

It does however, making me want to dump a bunch of logs from a mush into ChatGPT and then ask it create a wholly new scene and see what kind of destruction it’ll create.
-
@bear_necessities There’s the usual suspects but some newer games appear to be following the trend and using it for theme information. Outsourcing theme to AIs just makes me wanna put my head in my hands.
Or as a real bully of an @Apos put it:
I really don’t get it, writing theme is like the fun part of creating game
that’s like let me outsource this to a computer so I can get to the real fun of handling player disputes
‘letting AI write all my lore so I instead can fast forward to dealing with 3 mage players who each describe their characters as an alpha’she/they
-
@Tez
This is a case where I don’t want to name names because I don’t feel like an individual game doing it matters at this point. It’s clearly a trend and it’s clearly going to continue. It’s a bummer to pull up a new game in a theme you like and see significant portions of thematic information clearly (to me) generated by LLM in a way that doesn’t even seem edited, and then see no mention of ChatGPT in the news files or posts. IDK I know a lot of players wouldn’t care and would even enjoy engaging with ChatGPT content. And my stance is still, this is fine, but make it clear what you’re doing. -
Double standards.
Abelard’s so pissed about what Bridgit did IC, so mean and it messed up his RP prospects. So he does the very same thing to Camille, because she was standin’ next to Bridgit, and accuses Camille of being unable to accept IC consequences when Camille doesn’t like it either.
