Hell, that’d make testing cheaper and easier.
Question 1: Do you MU?
If yes, you’re autistic. If no please answer questions 2 through 50129.

It’s just being an enthusiast of a once popular thing that’s largely seen as obsolete by the modern world! There’s no connection at all.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go start restoring this typewriter.

I met a new gamer on a new game a few weeks ago. And they asked through the grapevine about my reputation… The answer they got was:
Kind.
SUPER AuDHD!I’ve never felt more seen by a stranger in my life.

One of the truly foundational pieces of our game is:
“We will let you attempt to do anything that you want to do, and deliver the justifiable consequences as a result.”
I’ve always enjoyed playing characters that make the wrong IC decision because I think it OOC leads to better story telling, and that’s been a great source of fun for me. Sometimes a frustration for a ST that expects a story to go on rails, and I just kindly see myself out of those games if it happens too often.
On ours? “Oh, you want to murder the King? OK, tell me how.”
And that, kids, is How I Buried Your King.

@Alveraxus GMs who forget those magic words “You can certainly try,” are dissapointing.

@Alveraxus Wait, what game is this?

@moth said in MU Peeves Thread:
Heh, thanks. I don’t know how to link, but that’s to the ad, not the discussion.
Although reading that thread I am reminded of the person who asked if they could play a bug loyalist, and re-read my response and I am now sad that the person did not come on and play a scientist who took the bug’s side for some reason, because that really would have been totally awesome.

@Alveraxus Might have been like when my son asks if he can eat a milk bone and I say sure you can eat a milk bone. Then it’s no fun any more.

This would probably be a huge peeve of mine as well if I weren’t entirely oblivious.
It ends up amusing me in retrospect when I’m like, “Is that what he was trying to do? Huh.”
-
@Tributary I should try to emulate that attitude.

Unfortunately it’s one of those things that’s only entirely obvious to people who have lived experience of it, or it’s surrounds.
He/Him. Opinions and views are solely my own unless specifically stated otherwise.

@Pavel Nah, it’s more that @Tributary is incredibly self confident and these sort of pick up artist schticks bounce off of her because she doesn’t have the insecurities these tactics prey on.
This shit sometimes works on me because a part of me is still desperate to be liked and receive validation outside of myself.

@Cobalt Nah, it’s more that I misread ‘entirely oblivious’ as ‘entirely obvious’ because I’m entirely obviated.

@Cobalt these tactics have worked on me in the past too, when i was insecure with my place on a game, etc. find the right target, and they do work. and most of the time, even with a bad target, most won’t report you because they’ll second guess if you actually meant what you said the way they read, etc. or if it is reported, you can often spin it into things like ‘oh she’s just upset because i asked not to have a relationship with her’ like the dude tried to do.
but the hobby is getting smarter. we have a lot of good admins and smarter players. these guys better fucking change or perish, i guess.
