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.

I don’t get 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.
-
Having seen some similar scenes play out on another game with a pc that didn’t really seem to do anything or rp on their own except a posted scene with the main character and who was definitely full of helpful merits by the same player I kinda wonder if this has been a thing before.
I agree that if there weren’t mechanical benefits involved I would think its weird but whatever. Its a shame to cheat that stupidly though I mean isn’t the point to play with others/utilize their strengths/ect.
-
I totally saw this happen on a Pern game once in a room that I had +watch on. I think they were trying to hide it? But most people had figured out they were the same person. So it was harmless but generally kind of odd.
