@spiriferida For L&L, really play up the politics, intrigue, animosity between rival families, and management aspects to the level that no one has time to knock boots on screen.

Demand characters have so many administrative skills, they become virtually unfuckable.

Joke’s on you, I’m into that shit

I mean, isn’t “admin assistant” office sex an entire genre as well? We all know who does the real work while ahem getting fucked over.

(I’m being cliche. I don’t really think every admin assistant everywhere does everything for said admin while they do nothing.)

someone oversteps something that I didn’t know was a boundary until after they stepped over.

what’s fun is when you overstep your own boundary without realizing it and hurt your own feelings minutes later.

“oooh, this will add some emotional juice!!”

…

“oh god, shit, the juice is too juicy.”

However, there are reasons that I’m not willing to commit to relationship RP and if I do commit to it, I have an OOC discussion of things I would like to avoid.

Some people get so invested that it’s scary and I prefer to avoid that.

Y’all can come at me if you want and I’m okay with it. However, there are reasons that I’m not willing to commit to relationship RP and if I do commit to it, I have an OOC discussion of things I would like to avoid. I didn’t live on this planet this long without some baggage and I like to keep it out of my fun hobby time. I also respect that others want to play that out, so there is never a bad thing if people don’t want the same.

That said. I get that this can happen.

Tempted, now, to write some passive-aggressive code snippet that looks for the words ‘how do I’ on a game’s Help or Newbie channel and just pages with “have you tried fuckin’ lookin’ it up, champ?”

Make it even more passive aggressive and have it lock out all other commands until they type the exact command required to answer the question. So everytime they type anything, the game just responds with something like “Have you tried +help +desc yet?”.

Shadowrun Denver has a great thing on the game itself: +document/find. It searches every +help or +policy file on the game, and in the past people have passive aggressively answered questions with ‘+document/find [word]’.

Sure is a shame about the other bits.

begging people to at least try a single keyword search in the extensive documentation of the thing they’re always asking about

I bet if we all had a dollar for every situation that could have been resolved by someone taking even the most basic review of a game’s documentation, we’d all be way less financially desperate.

begging people to at least try a single keyword search in the extensive documentation of the thing they’re always asking about

As an extension to this, when giving help please link/direct people to the help documentation rather than/as well as providing the answer.

Like if your goal is to get off without really caring what you have to do to manage it, there’s faster and easier ways to go about it that don’t involve being awful to other people. They can be more ethical and more efficient with their smut!

But the goal likely isn’t to get off without really caring what they have to do to manage it. It’s to get off with another person without really caring what they have to do to manage it. And just any person may not do. Cost, looks (in this medium, writing style), personality, etc. are potential qualifications for the other person. Rape would be much less of a thing if all rapists wanted was just an orgasm.

isn’t the, uh…point of TS that it’s still collaborative writing, tho?

I mean, ideally yes? But I also just kind of assumed that if someone has such rampant disregard for the other person that they’re lying to get TS, the whole “other person” part really isn’t factoring into the decision-making anymore, anyway.

I think in cases where you’re going to be such a nutter about it (like above) it’s likely less about the collaboration and more about the power trip. But still that would require another person, yes.

Like, you can read a nearly infinite number of horny words with basically zero effort. Same with Imaglr. Or with PornHub. You can go have a wank without bothering anyone, if you go do it over there.”

not that I would know, Innocent and Pure Lamb of Jesus’ Pasture that I am.

a fucking weirdo about it

As a(n honest) fucking weirdo about it, I am randomly reminded of that one NYC CoD game (not the Ares one, but I forget what the name was) where someone got extremely heavy-handed about my WerewolfLawyer chargen build, then heavy handed leading the first scene to the smut, then (allegedly) got extremely ick’d out by me trying to recruit other people to make a pack where they insist I telegraphed the implication that smut happened on channel.

Zany shenanigans were afoot, I just bounced entirely.

Now only the coolest of kids get my smut, after taking an intensive multi-choice questionnaire. Good Luck!
