MU Peeves Thread

In this the year of our lord 2025, why are people still allowing bad actors in their game community? Why is there a concern with “we have to be fair” to people who are toxic to staff and other players, totally obnoxious, or otherwise a bad fit? It’s a mush, not a constitutional right, if they’re no good for the community then EVICT THEM.

@Ashkuri name names, name games!

I think the short answer is that the person making the decisions doesn’t know for sure that they’re a bad actor.
They might have heard rumours. But people lie. And every messy conflict has two sides coming away with two different inaccurate stories even if they don’t -think- they’re lying. Gamerunners aren’t wrong if they want to judge a player by their firsthand experiences with that player rather than an incomplete narrative.
Disclaimer: I’m not on the grapevine so don’t take this as commentary on any specific situation that might be currently unfolding.

I think it’s a combination of this and one of those old nerd fallacies about avoiding exclusion, and it’s that latter idea that causes the most problems. At least anecdotally.

Every day I am grateful that the community has shifted away from this batshit behavior. IF THE VIBES ARE RANCID, BYE BYE.

I’m also grateful that as a hobby we collectively kicked all the edgy racists and misogynists to the curb. It’s the best.

@Juniper Since I’ve moved to doing YouTube content, that these people are always going to exist. And I’ve also learned that when they go low, I go to lower to hell.

(In a non-PVP game)
Combat stats are restricted but social stats can be maxed out no problem.

@catzilla You’ve just gotta get better at looksmaxxing.
This is apparently a real term.

@catzilla I’m going to ignore the anti-pvp rules and roll initiative if you pull that face at me.

Social Combat when?

EM DASH FOR LYFE. AI SCREW OFF.
they | them

@ten You can pry my em-dashes from my cold, dead hands. I’ve been (over)using them longer than LLMs have been in existence!
-
YES.
-
some of my poses might contain more em-dashes than actual sentences so this all feels like a personal attack

I’m in this picture; as a semi-colon user, I can empathize.
(SEE HOW I DID THAT?)
-
@ten You can tell my em dashes are legit because I always use them — incorrectly.
-
My em-dashes, my semicolons, and my words of more than three syllables. Ain’t giving them up in order to write ‘less like AI’. LLMs are mimicking me, not the other way around.
Any pronouns. Come to Chincoteague. We have ponies. http://keys.aresmush.com
