@Herja I always get his name mixed up with the Thrax crown breaker king, whose name I can never remember when I try.

Logging in and immediately opening messengers with giant war-related invoices attached, but also happy to feel useful.

It’s been several days but the man getting up on the table and screaming at the top of his lungs is still making me laugh.

Evander Darkwater. My vassal, lol. One day I will build a lighthouse in his honor for telling Anders to fuck off (maybe).

[tsar]

@Rucket It’s honestly just nice to provoke such a passionate response from people lol

[Herja]

I sort of wish that people would stop making that insinuation that staff would ever permit or GM a story in which children are killed. Repeatedly. Despite staff being very clear as to the boundary regarding that sort of story.

Honestly, I fuck this up sometimes without intent. Men, women and children rolls off the tongue rather absent-mindedly when describing a broad toll of casualties, and it’s a phrase I need to stop using.

[icanbeyourmuse]

There is a lot of games that also say that ‘children dying’ is part of war/ a part of a dark setting/etc. Same with things like abuse. So, it could just be hold over.

[Solstice]

Yeah, that’s certainly part of it. Too many grimdark settings in the past has not improved my writing’s muscle memory, but I certainly don’t enjoy when I mess up and make someone feel uncomfy, either.

It’s not that bad things aren’t going to happen to children because war, but the narrative insistence on child involvement when staff has repeatedly said hey we’re not doing that anymore is pretty frustrating.

[Solstice]

Oh, certainly. I don’t know the circumstances of the peeve, so I more was lamenting my own fallibility and occasional accidental slips.

Basically this.

Personally, I don’t really care about someone talking about kids dying/being hurt as a part of normal RP, like that’s not something that bothers me on an individual non-staff RPer level, but it gets exhausting when folks keep asking staff specifics or to address it directly.

I discovered my line real fast when folks wanted to do stuff or pitch plots in which kids being hurt and/or killed was the entire thing, particularly when it was players wanting their PCs to be the ones doing it. I’m not GMing Child!Hostel: The Torturers are the Main Characters Now.
