@Testament Better to have tried and failed,
But is it really a failure? @Testament ran a game, had fun for awhile, made stories. Sounds like a success to me. No game lasts forever, and I wish you the best of luck in your future games.
@RedJellyBean said in MU Peeves Thread:
Having a scene with someone and them not posing for days and giving various reasons, yet you know they’re RPing with someone else on another place the entire time, as well as other games.
Just say “hey it looks like you’ve been pretty busy and this scene is getting stale, let’s FTB and you can grab me again when you have more time?” And call it a day.
No sense in letting your brain weasels eat you alive.
I think my favorite part about all of this is how this person’s character couldn’t be a Mary Sue because he’s a MAN WRITTEN BY A MAN!!! or something. IDK, this is all ridiculous.
tbh I’m amazed at the fortitude anyone has to read Ghost’s giant long posts. I hear them referenced and I go to look because I’m curious and I usually get a couple of lines in and I’m like
“Here’s a well-spoken and well-crafted argument” … proceeds to word vomit across the board nonsensically while skirting along the “very clear” rules in order to attack - but not PERSONALLY!!! attack - people who cannot defend themselves because they are banned.
You know what it would take to repair the community? Nothing. The community isn’t broken, MSB is.
This is kinda like sad and just seems borderline uncomfortable to be talking about this person so can we just not?
I just want to say since it’s apparent that Ghost is reading that it is against the SPIRIT OF THE RULE of the new MSB to continue to personally attack the banned, particularly when they cannot respond directly to those personal attacks.
I’m glad however they found their safe place to apply the rules only to those they dislike and can continue circle jerking about how great and POSITIVE they are while shitting on everyone who cannot defend themselves.
So since this is the second time in extremely recent MSB history that I’ve been either @tted at (despite being banned) or had my quote from here used as an example for how awful BMD is, I’d like to ask:
Derp, how did I hurt you? Is it because I am a woman with opinions, or is it because I called you a misogynist, or is it because of something else? I’d love to know! Pls respond on MSB, xoxoxoxo love me
@crawfish i had to take a shower after reading that, thx
My advice? Teach people how you want to RP with them. A lot of us have a strong tendancy to match the person we are writing with, but sometimes we need to give ourselves a little grace. If someone throws out novel-length poses and you only have a paragraph or two in you? Give them that. They will either a) start mimicing your shorter pose length or b) keep going!
If someone doesn’t want to Rp with you because of your pose length, they aren’t worth RPing with anyway.
@Warma-Sheen said in Concordia Thread:
@Faraday I think that just means allotting a certain number of xp points to character based on age. Or just granting a chunk of xp to an older character to indicate they have had more experience in their life than younger characters. I don’t think it necessitates code. It is definitely a game decision.
The game overall seems interesting enough. I’m not a player of lords and ladies games, so maybe this is a genre thing, but I’m surprised no one has made mention of the fact that characters in the ruling house have to be white with blond hair and blue eyes. There’s a specific mention that all the houses have some commonalities, but this one you have to stick to.
Is that a common thing in these types of games so that no one else is bothered by it? It definitely tripped a flag for me. Or is it one of those situations where people just trust it not to be as icky as it sounds and give the benefit of the doubt?
So, you don’t play L&L games but you have a problem with a game you’re not going to play with a genre you don’t even like? LOL why are you here commenting at all, this isn’t even constructive.
Anyway @Whisky and @spes good luck, have fun, don’t listen to the haters who aren’t going to play your game anyway 
@Ominous I PLAYED ON CROSSROADS MUSH!!! I actually went to the LARP they did <.<
I helped run a Zombie game awhile back because it really was a dream setting of mine. The reality was the constant threat of ZOMBIES EAT U combined with a lack of meaningful systems for resource gathering kinda made the whole thing get old rather quickly? Like, either you are fighting zombies, or you’re running from zombies, or you’re talking about how scared you are because you just fought / are going to fight zombies, and it’s just a rinse & repeat.
That’s the issue with a lot of themes, IMO. The setting seems cool, but there’s just nothing to do.
My missed setting? Cowboys. 
It’s never going to happen.
Modeus Operandi, which was one of the 3 or 4 MUDS they had on AOL at the time. It was some where in the world is Carmen Sandiago spy game and I loved it.
The platform went pay to play and there was so much uproar about it. I ended up spending a significant time RPing in chat rooms and then found “groups” that were essentially running MUSHes in chats and IMs.
Simpler times lol
@Rathenhope Admittedly did not know she was even still alive. Sad though!
@Tori you always had such a way with words and your descs were beautiful, I loved buying your stuff on arx
Was creating clothes in Arx a ‘minigame’? I liked that until it became a huge game of who can make better ASCII art and then all the clothes were just giant ASCII art objects that had no descriptions and meh. I was not very good at coloring either. But I liked it when I was delving deep into my creative side to come up with really unique descriptions for stuff.
I think Firan had animal breeding or dog breeding ??? That always seemed like fun.
@Ashkuri yeah I mean, I am mostly just on the side of the fence that we can’t really tell who is writing with LLMs and who just sucks at writing but it seems like this is a REALLY BIG DEAL when it… might not be? I’m definitely not saying that people should just RP with ChatGPT or that there isn’t something valuable in the human experience because I’m still playing MU*s to interact with you lot so clearly I want to be where the real people are. But I don’t particularly have the brain power to decide, or care, if you’re using LLMs to help you play with me as long as you’re fun to play with. And that’s me! And that’s fine! Not everyone has to think like me. Heck, I don’t even think like me a lot of the time 
@Tez I mean, please don’t take this in any way other than a legitimate question, but why should someone who utilizes a tool to work around a disability need to explain how they use that tool?
@KarmaBum This. At this point, if someone is secretly an AI? Fine. As long as they bring more spice to the table than “grim man in a trench coat who sighs meaningfully,” they can beep-boop their way right into my scene.
^ I might’ve also written part of this with AI. Or not. Who knows? It doesn’t matter. Just be interesting.
@Tez are those AI because I’m pretty sure I read all of those in 1999 lol
