Nah my bait was about the time Arx told people they couldn’t talk about Arx on Discord
That’s not a thing that happened.

@Roz Well sure, but isn’t that why it’s called bait?

@shit-piss-love Malvici?
Hi I’m the one that initially told people no/was the face of Arx’s THERE WILL BE NO ARX DISCORD policy. I know that I also often counseled people who were complaining about things happening on discord to stop using discord about the game.
However, telling people that something is not condoned, endorsed, or supported (as in we will not help you solve problems arising from this) is not the same as telling someone they are not allowed to do the thing.
eta: i also feel like i might vaguely remember apos telling a particular person/group of people not to discord about their game stuff in a fit of exasperation. I also might be making that up! Not saying it’s not possible, just saying it was not a game policy

Basically my understanding, yeah.

okay but you see how that is different than what you implied with

right?

@Coin i mean TECHNICALLY probably someone did get told not to talk about arx on discord. technically we are all somewhat correct, and can feel accordingly smug
-
I don’t feel smug I had equal parts good and bad experiences on Arx and I like folks on this forum just fine. It was a thing that happened, and mud is an equal-opportunity projectile

Make your own mush!
Have tried. Will steal all of the Miami code and futz with the setting and turn it into my Everworld knockoff.
Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!

turn it into my Everworld knockoff.
I totally read that as ‘Everwood’ and was both super confused and embarrassingly excited for a moment until my brain added the rest of the context.

I appreciate everyone’s thoughts. Getting that out of my system and finding that a bunch of people with an outside perspective thought it was problematic was cathartic. Thank you.

Dude, my friends and I left that game over way less awful shit than that. And while I sometimes miss my character and regret the amount of setting material I wrote up for a staffer that was very shortly thereafter replaced by a hypercontrolling weirdo…
That policy (? bbpost? whatever it is?) is so beyond the pale that no amount of nostalgia would be worth going back. I suggest taking Roz’s advice and noping the fuck out of there.

@shit-piss-love I’LL TAKE THE BAIT
I’ll police the shit out of what people say outside the game. If you’re being racist, sexist, whatever via discord or any other avenue then I don’t WANT you on my game.
This is very reasonable.
The trip that sucks is when staff police what people say outside the game and respond to shit like, “This is a stupid house rule, I hate it,” and “Cheaty-Cheaty Bang-Bang learned my PC’s secret OOC and used it IC, and Staff let it slide,” and, “The plot is centered on PCs who sit on it and never RP in public to share it,” by banning or otherwise punishing people for “hurting the game by making it look bad.”

Would you prefer ‘City of a Thousand Planets by Night’?

This multiple werewolf nipples thing sounds like an old debate that happened when an oWoD storyteller back on Children of the Moon tried to push the idea that male Lupis had upright wolf-parts in Chrinos form and the females had multiple breasts, while homids had a dangly human bits and only 2 breasts.They wanted to make that a rule so that you could tell the breed of the werewolf you were fighting. They argued there should be physical tells that you could exploit once you have the lore.
(Metis would have which ever they wanted because their deformity gave away their breed.)
They claimed it was to give combat and social stratification inside the sphere more depth but I think they just wanted a big lupus to knot their kinfolk alts.
CoM had some strange people on it. I remember one of the kinfolk had a baby that was a telekinetic or possessed by a spirit or something. I don’t recall the details but I remember logging in and hearing about a baby flying itself around the lodge. I avoided that forest Icly. Too full of crazy stuff.

@Wizz
It was the old days when most players were horny teenagers. The game had first come out and got promoted big time in comic and game shops.Remember the hard back edition with the claw marks cut into the cover? That was the new thing back then. The writers of the book knew it. They included a little section in the book about how the game isn’t just about sexy werewolves.
-
The good ole days when Gayrou were frowned on because it was the sacred duty of every werewolf to mate for Gaia.
-
@TNP
Yeah, and I think there was a tribe called the Black Furies that were all women who hated men but were also required to breed so they raped and killed men. Real classy stuff.I remember there was an adventure pack from white wolf where you had your pack break into a zoo and “save” captive wolves to make strong blooded kinfolk with them. They didn’t go into detail about what happened to the wolves after you saved them and handed them over to another pack but… yikes!
