@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.

she/they

@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.
-
@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.
-
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.

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.

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

You shake them too hard and your creative work disappears?

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.

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

From a conversation with a few people I know IRL: When people create amazing story points for their character or for the world in general only to somehow completely draw a blank when you ask them to explore that further.
“I really like how you established your character was secretly undermining the Lord of the West Rivers, can we do some more undermining plot stuff with that?”
“Wait what? I have no idea what you are talking about and am not interested in that in the least.”
“Ok. Well… ugh.”

are you replying to jumpscare actually or did you just hit that reply button cuz it was closest?
because your comment made me think of something specific.
In Occam I trust.

A super icky experience for me was finding out the reason a player was so eager to slide into my DMs was so they could pre-seed the OOC conversation with lies. Before ever being caught.
But when they did get caught, things got extra deranged. Like, straight up wholecloth invention of things that never happened in the story or in DMs.
