The AresMUSH server, especially @Faraday and @Tat. THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR PEOPLE.

And thanks to @Roz for being very brave and doing the things I was putting off.

I used to check BMD daily because there were so many problems in the hobby that there would inevitably be new fireworks going off each week. I’ve always seen this place as a valuable resource to warn and discuss.

But for most of 2024, there have barely been any red flags anywhere.

Did we do it? Is it truly a brand mu day?

It feels nice.

Hearing someone sharing a story about one of their favorite scenes ever from a few years ago on a game you recently joined, and realizing it was a scene that you ran as a ST that stuck with them this long.

Encountering and reconnecting with an awesome player who you knew 19+ years ago on a completely different genre of MU*.

It just seems like complete fantastic serendipity.

And then playing with them and discovering that not only are they just as good as you remember, but are actually better. Their RP has improved!

RPing with someone who you can do comedy with and is able to roll with your dumb one liners as you giggle to yourself.

@Nilli you know who you are

@tsar I’ll play emotional support rivals with you any day

@Jumpscare Naw, it’s the same shit, but it’s no longer considered wankery to punish players for pointing at it.

I’m trying to parse this. Are you saying that you think it’s no longer considered a bad thing if a player is punished for what they say about a game on forums and such?

[Gashlycrumb]

@Roz Yes.

Sorry, though, it’s not the thread for it. I was being implusive.

Finding out someone I felt uncomfortable with, but not uncomfortable enough to openly voice my objections to:

1. Actually has a known history of much more serious permutations of this behaviour on other games
2. Was already shown the door on my current game without me needing to say anything

Thank u yes I knew I wasn’t just crazy, and I am so happy to know I’m now playing on a game with safe, healthy, vigilant staff.
