Good things in Mushing

@KarmaBum It’s true! I’ve only had a couple of scenes, but even the ones which start off innocuously end up with me in trouble.

[SockMonkey]

Not new to MUSH, but new to this site. So figured I’d start with a positive!

When you think you’re just logging onto a new game because it sounds fun and then over a year later you feel like you’ve always been there. The fact you’ve found friends who, even though you’ve never met face to face, help you feel better on your down days and celebrate with you on your high days. When you check on each other because you both know the other values you as a person/friend before a character/scene.

Glad to be here. Hope to meet new friends and continue interacting with current ones! waves

@SockMonkey Welcome aboard! You’re the new, new mu*er.

Being 50+ scenes in and not one of them has been a throwaway. I know the record’s gotta snap eventually, but so far… Even what starts out as just a little bit of fluff amid the HARD CORE BLADE RUNNER SHIT looks to bear some sort of fruit.

The players there were great, but my staff interaction was not so hot, so I bowed out before I got too far into it, but I’m glad there are still places that lots of people really enjoy. There doesn’t seem to be too many of those these days. Need to hold on to the few left.

I have had a full fantastic day of solid RP, like just wall to wall super enjoyable character development and relationship building and it’s not even over yet.

I honestly thought that kind of gaming experience was gone for me and I’m so glad it’s not.

I love being text ambushed. More.

I’ve been very lucky in this hobby to find someone who is always a ‘yes’ to my crazy ideas, whether they are in personal RP or as a GM. Last night highlighted this when I asked her to play a mole person, and she immediately jumped in.

So yeah, more generally: finding people in this hobby who are always excited about writing.

where can I play a mole person

[dvoraen]

I’m waiting for @Panic to explain more about the mole people too.

[Panic]

@devu @dvoraen they’re just the NPCs we did for a plot scene. No actual playable mole people here. Sorry!

@Panic fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

Meeting new players you’ve never RP’d with and realizing you click really well with them.

That hasn’t happened in awhile. It’s nice.

[Third Eye]

@Testament
I sometimes think I’ve come across every possible long-term player in MUSHdom but then every new game I try proves me wrong, sometimes from really surprising places. It’s great! Reminds me of why I still do this thing on public games.

[Livia]

@Testament I’ve been feeling this too lately! Meeting a bunch of people I’ve never RP’d with before, and it seems like it’s going well!

[KarmaBum]

@ratatat told us that scene was “pizza and poker” and it WAS NOT 🦾

[bear_necessities]

@KarmaBum i’m still mad nobody brought the watercrest salad

[Snackness]

Just sittin’ around waiting to see if someone drops something cool in my lap and someone drops something cool in my lap.

eta: I know damned well I shouldn’t be just sittin’ around waiting, I should be proactive and engaging, but IT HAPPENED ANYWAY!

Having a hard and reserved character, then encountering other characters who are able to slowly but surely crack that shell.

As somone who tends to play characters that are very different in private than they are in public… yes.
