@Pavel lmfao big mood. I keep thinking about moving my box whites onto this keyboard. I miss my old keyboard. it was so cute. And clacky.

Pavel

@Tez I got myself one of those very very old school IBM keyboards. It’s older than… Okay not us but probably some people.

Tez

@Pavel oh my GOD my ENVY

The sound they make. The feel.

Pavel

@Tez It also counts as a +2 magical bludgeoning weapon.

@Pavel Is it an original Model-M, or one of the newer clones, like the Unicomp?

@somasatori I just had my first Jill encounter over on Age of Alliances! I was so excited! Paged me right out of the blue.

Guest (G1) pages: I think my most awkward RL experience was getting check ups from a doctor in my high school as part of the tryout for joining sports
You paged Guest with ‘Jill! Hello!’
You paged Guest with ‘I wondered if it was you!’
Guest (G1) pages: oh hey. sorry, I didnt remember talking with you
You paged Guest with ‘We haven’t! This is the first time.’

Sadly she vanished right after that. It was like encountering a cryptid in the wild.

@Lemon-Fox I want that one blog that was doing MU interviews to interview Jill. JILL PLEASE. WE JUST HAVE QUESTIONS.

Snackness

@Tez She’d ghost right after the intro tho

Complete with the odd combination of “this is creepy, but wow!”

I think I might’ve recently RPed with Jill on a game that has very limited/no OOC? Does she do that? Because I’ve never met her in the classic Guest sense, but I recently had a very weird scene, between two female characters, where that sort of exchange took place IC before I got weirded out and bailed.

MisterBoring

@Kestrel It’s always been my understanding that Jill never gets to the point of having an actual character anywhere, just making strange conversation OOC as a guest bit and then dipping. I might be wrong though.

Third Eye

We only really know how Jill behaves on MUSH game channels/pages. It’s entirely possible they do their schtick in RPI environments that never register here.

That said, the Legend of Jill has been around long enough and widely circulated enough that I assume there are a lot of Jill copycats. Legacy, etc.

Ashkuri

This subject has come up with a few people lately, but the real peeve is how much garbage media/tv/movies I have consumed solely because my played-by was in it.

Babs

No shame there. DeVito is a great actor, but just isn’t the same without the lekku

Ares games feel like those magic slate drawing pads.

You shake them too hard and your creative work disappears?

Kestrel

So I really like it when someone can play a compelling sociopath who’s highly manipulative and intelligent. I think this is usually a more interesting kind of foil than just Punchy McPuncherperson.

But when they get caught and then try to lie about it OOC it’s a weird … sticky feeling.

@Kestrel

The moment where you realize, “oh, you’re not playing a character; this is actually you.”

hey, friend, if you’re going to crib that much inspiration from a source – write some fanfic, you’ll feel better.
