@Yam said in Web-based CharGen or in-game CharGen:

I’ve often wondered how much applications actually filter anything.

Apps for me are more about filtering out players who don’t understand the theme. I can’t count the number of times that the app process has blocked an “oh heck to the no” type of character. And games without apps have led to some pretty forehead-slapping retcons.

This is harder to do with roster chars because the backstory is already written for them. Those “job interview” type apps have always icked me out as a player, so I’ve never wanted to do them as staff.

Faraday and Cobalt. Next question.

Aw thanks.

@SockMonkey a sad day! WAAH

Hello fellow old! Arashi/Alexis/Julianne/Energy Lass (and…well…yeah…Oracle) from Crucible City here! Just rediscovered my hundreds of Crucible City logs in a backup drive and was poking around the net curiously. Figured I’d pop in to say hi! 😄

@catzilla said in MU Peeves Thread:

I may be wrong to assume this site is anti-Nazi/etc.

SO!

Pet peeve, when the CWOD discord server you’re on decides to open a politics channel and you see not only the host of the server refuse to say they’re anti-Nazism but also a bunch of people supporting Nazism in the server… 😞 Many sads that there’s still people clinging to all that nonsense in the RP world.

It’s en vogue now.

One of his kids IS on the roster. 👀

@howyadoin said in Bad Stuff Happening IC:

@MisterBoring Silent Heaven already exists

ETA: joke

You joke, but Silent Heaven players will 100% sign up for all of that and have a great time. The first event I ran that was tagged “risk of character death” had 31 characters sign up for it. I’m impressed by their ability to find brief moments of IC fun, relief and happiness for their characters, even in the direst situations.

a man in a suit is making a funny face and saying oh no !

@Yam said in Other People:

I was def curious about how often most RPers even consider Other People’s fun.

I’m so worried about other people’s fun and happiness that my therapist wishes I would just be a selfish asshole once a month.

@Roz obvs so nothing dethrones the AoA thread post count.

Chud

@hellfrog I think I tried to do a rewatch like ten years ago and couldn’t or wouldn’t. Mean middle school girl go live in computer. What a timestamp, though. Internet trolls from the 1900s.

I almost hesitate to say this, and it’s not aimed at specific people, but it’s fact that there is a heavy Shang/Pen element to the occasional influxes that keep boosting AoA and the tolerance for sexual harassment is almost certainly higher within the “new community”.

The community that built back up on AoA in 2017-2018 was not largely drawn from sex mushes. There’s a reason so many people left in 2023, many of whom likely had not personally experienced harassment. The old community and new community have very different characteristics.

As Hollywood on TR, I was banned because I kept pestering Troy about trying to get other staffers to quit talking crap about my character on staff channels. She told me to stop bothering her and I didn’t. It wasn’t until after I was banned did some accusations about cheating get thrown out after the fact from which I never got a chance to address/defend and only heard about 3rd hand, which I think were about looking at my own jobs as a staffer, to which, if that was a thing, wasn’t more than occasional typos of the many, many, many jobs that I handled there.

Troy: is that the dude who used the Shemar Moore pb?
Coin: yes.
Troy: that dude was straight up cheating.

Troy: i’m glad he remembers all those details, cuz i sure as fuck don’t. but he was a fucking menace.

Troy: ask yourself why the staffers were talking shit about his character.

Troy: the game was better for it when he left. and by left we mean got kicked out. sorry not sorry.

also, as Coin, I will say, i remember Kelvin being the most metagame-y, minmax-y, Pledge-abusing, power-gaming dude in the Changeling sphere, and this was CONCURRENT (to a degree) with VASpider’s tenure there, so keep that in mind.

cheers.

My work informed me today that they figured out how to deal with one of our major issues at work, and in doing so, are throwing work/life balance in the trash.

firan. i had never even heard of MUs.

I don’t know if this is from a generative “AI” or not (but some parts strongly suggest yes), but I had to get @tsar to see this as the resident expert on 🐌s.

This is screen-snipped from one of my Discords, and even if it’s fake it made me lol/happy.

@Rathenhope said in AI Megathread:

two potential clients (the biggest we’d have) both went “we consider any use of AI to be high risk and we don’t want client information anywhere near it”

Just casually send me the names of these clients so I can get our CEO to try and sell to them, I really want to see that metaphorical ice bucket tipped all over him when he hears that.
