yeah, like I will absolutely say HI to 3 people and then immediately leave the keys for any amount of time, so it’s always going to be sporadic.
I def get the other side, sometimes I also get that whole ‘ok but why not me am i not fun’ and then I have to remind myself of all the contradicting evidence

This is a big thing. I absolutely do this myself, even though I know a) it’s not true, and it’s b) me actively ruining my own enjoyment over things I am making up in my head.
My peeve really is me.

I want people to feel welcome, but I don’t want to engage because I’m tired as fuck or distracted as hell. I’m happy to see you. I just need a nap and four more hours in the day.

@Val This needs to go on a t-shirt

The above discussion is why I will not have logon messages if I make a game.
-
My level of channel engagement is completely random and subject to the ebb and flow of my energy level, that includes greetings.
That being said, it’s never really occurred to me that people would feel miffed by my lack of attention; I just subconsciously assume they thought they dodged a bullet.

@SpaceKhomeini You called?
-
Ngl, I do get a little sad when I say “hi game” or “hello folks” and not a single person responds. But also, no one is required to greet me. Sometimes people do, and sometimes they don’t and I tell my goblin brain to stop being an idiot and assuming it’s because they HATE me and rather they are probably busy.
Except when they immediately greet someone else within a minute time frame. Then my goblin brain wins.

But just imagine how good the TS is! They both know exactly what the other wants!

I scene with myself all the time, I just don’t go to the effort of posting it.

how are you gonna win the cooperative game, doing this
why do you want to?weird. PLS EXPLAIN
-
@hellfrog Right? Like I can understand trying to bypass rules or something, but doing so to play opposite yourself? That’s a little odd.
-
Wait, so we’re not talking about vignettes or solo RP or whatever here (which most of the world would just call writing, tbh), but someone playing two characters in a scene together?

I’m assuming this? I mean, I’ve seen people be multiple staff bits, with multiple alts on games. And rp with one another/themselves the entire time.
-
That sounds a little weird but totally harmless to me, honestly! Unless they’re getting some kind of unfair advantage from it, or avoiding opportunities for not-just-with-themselves RP or otherwise refusing to engage with the game, I hope they have fun with it.
-
@Clarion Two different characters were in the same scene, and suddenly started having incidents of posing AS each other (like a pose for Character A coming from Character B, then being deleted and reposed properly from Character A), one responding to a page sent to the other, etc. No shared IP, but one of the two using a VPN. One of the characters had also been running scenes and plots for the other, funneling equipment to them, etc.

@Roz …oh. Well that’s much less harmless.
I thought it was just somebody having solo pretendy funtimes playing their Character A meeting and hanging out with their Character B. Not something I’d do on a game, but sure, whatever.
Pretending they weren’t playing two characters and hiding IP addresses and mixing up poses and funneling stuff back and forth is… not good. I will take the radical stance that it is, in fact, bad.
-
In my usual paranoia, I would pose at nothing randomly on the off chance there was a staff lurking invisible in it.
I used to @sweep every single room I entered for a long time. Generally it was the only way they’d show up.
