Jill guest still making the rounds!
Annoying? Yes. Impressive?
… in a way, yes. It’s been fucking 20 years.

@allthecookies
This is some torch being tossed down is it not?
Like one day you’re brought into a room and told this is a sad job but if you don’t do it the aliens will descend and destroy us all.
One of those mysteries that means very little that we will never have the satisfaction of solving will be the niche Jill the Guest mystery.

What if Jill actually is one of the aliens, desperate to connect with humanity? But sadly all they know of human culture is volleyball and high school sports physicals.
You’re not fooling me, Jill. You’re not fooling me!

wake up, feed the birds, make sure your social security check was deposited, thank the grandkids for the birthday cards, then settle down to log into a random game as a guest and pretend to be a lifeguard to the first female name you see not idle

Oh sure, judge a guy for having a hobby.

My money was always on Larry Nassar but then he went to prison. I’m fresh out of Jill the guest theories. Glad that guy got shanked and air holed a bunch though.

Jill has been around the MU* community for over a decade now. I’m not sure when the earliest Jill sightings were, but I remember becoming aware of her in the early 2010s?
She connects to games as a guest and pages people with female-sounding names. The conversation tends to start off innocuous: saying hi, maybe asking about the game, etc. Small talk. Eventually it tends to get steered to hobbies, and usually athletics in some fashion, and then it’s about high school athletics, and then it’s about the weird physicals her girls sports team all had to undergo to play sports.
She’ll dip fast if you push back or act weirded out at any point in the conversation, especially if you actively identify her as Jill or guess where the thread of conversation is going. It’s weird conversation, and it’s definitely not an appropriate line to bring up with strangers, but I think because of how quick she is to bolt, most people tend to find her more vaguely baffling but not threatening.

What Roz said above. It’s clearly a two part thing for them. You’ve got:
- The medical/sports fetish part.
- The unwitting participation of whatever female character bit they’re talking to.
As soon as Jill realizes you know who they are and what they’re doing, it ruins it for them. Last night they apparently bounced from City of Glass and moved on to Sixth Estate within a matter of minutes, dropping off each one once they realized the people they were speaking to weren’t giving them one or the other.
-
@Aria Yep she was cruising around last night.
-
I’ve never been so grateful for cosmic timing in my life. So glad my one night offline for like, a month now, came just in time to manage to miss that undesired blast from a long ago past.
-
Wow.
This is one MU* crazy I’ve been able to avoid even rumors of. It’s like hearing about a cryptid.
I sometimes wonder how I have being in the hobby for so long, but only had the lightest brushes with most of the notorious sorts. Is it luck or do I not present the vibe Bad Actors are looking for? Either way, I am grateful.
-
@STD if you tend to have male PCs or they have names that are more gender neutral, you most likely won’t hear from jill
-
I am so weirdly excited to hear that Jill the Guest is back! If there are any new MUSHers on CoG, this is like a total eclipse event for them!
-
@Roz I believe it was Auspice a number years ago who was able to actually get an extended conversation with Jill to the point where they almost explained what they do and why they do it.
I know a couple of people have this curiosity about Jill. Are they a troll. Is it someone just that mentally traumatized. Is it just one long running bit. Is it some strange combination of all of these things.
These days I try to view Jill as something akin to an MU community cryptid. Knowing the truth would probably ruin the mystique.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

@helvetica Shit, if I recall there’s a Jill thread on MUSB from so many years ago. I’d wager it’s probably buried in there somewhere.
