I can’t wait to GM this for you someday.
Make sure there’s no way to deal with the bear, you just have to flee in IC and OOC shock. There is also no explanation for the bear before or after. It just SHOWS UP, RUINS YOUR IMPURE DATE, AND VANISHES

This is why I had to ask if anyone has been on the game because all these years later I’m like “Sometimes I think that place was too insane to be real”
-
They had a million rules there to give an authentic experience. A lot of do’s and do not’s. Staff was full of drama. It was like a lot of games at that time I think.
-
@imstillhere In your shoes, I would have paged staff and told them that you and your friend had already become one flesh, and just quoted Biblical verse for coitus at them. That the bear literally brought you two together later.
-
I blame all of you that I just went into my old gmail account and pulled up my gtalk (yeah I know) to see if they referenced any of this with staff or anything. Then it became a time sink.
Memories…

I vaguely recall logging into Fort Bloodshed a few weeks before it closed and logging off about 20 minutes later after poking around and discovering that there wasn’t much life in it. That was back when I wouldn’t even consider applying to a game with less than 70 bits logged in. Now I kind of actually prefer smaller populations.

I’m going to shoehorn divine bears in barns for my next major plot. I don’t know how I’m going to do it, but I’ll do it.
And as an aside, so taking a shot in the dark, I feel like one of staffer’s was potential issues was that they were probably religious and was offended at the idea of preacher flirting with a sex worker. I dunno, that was my first thought.

They weren’t religious so much as “historical” and control freaks. They simply felt it wouldn’t happen, should not happen, and that they wanted a fire and brimstone preacher not one that would have any interest in a “dove” beyond soul saving.
That same staff guy asked me to make an English Lord character coming to town because he felt it would be good story. I did and then first scene out the gates the admin brought his character out to roast the shit out of me for minutiae surrounding England’s support of the South in the American Civil War, stuff I absolutely didn’t know ooc.
It was just a crazy place!

Oh but wait… there’s more.
The main staff was comprised of three people. Only it was really two people with one of them pretending to be another staff member.
Also none of them were hyper religious. They just wanted a certain view of their game and behaviors set forth.
No, I was not staff. I just played the game for a bit of time. Also, it was the first game that the actions of people OOC shook me to the core and made me realize that the MU* could be a toxic place.
Yet, at the same time, there were people there that I enjoyed crafting stories with. One of those times that ignorance really was bliss I guess.

I forgot about this but you are right, lol, that was a thing.

Man this sounds like an early 90s game, not an early 00s game. These are like “back when we were 13 year old mush staffers” stories.
aren’t they? please say yes.
-
Everyone at the time were in their late 20’s or older on the admin side of this.

@tsar sounds like something a long-poser would say

There was a couple as staff. A male. A female. Then there was another male on staff. That one was played by the female.
This female also staffed another game and lied about her entire life to them, etc. It was a thing. It was a million years ago and so drama filled I just don’t even have words.

I mean, I am completely aware of how fucked and manipulative this was, but I cannot stop laughing about it because it’s also just so dumb. What was even the point? Like just to maintain the illusion of fairness? It makes me think of those comedy routines where someone behind a counter ducks down or goes in the back and comes out wearing a different hat or a fake moustache and claiming to be the manager or something.
Especially because pretty frequently the shittier people in this hobby just aren’t as clever as they think they are by half and there’s almost always something that gives them away, and then their bullshit is forever immortalized, like these dinks as “that fucking insane couple that pretended to be three people.”
