I feel like this might be good for women who have had double mastectomies and got fake breasts? But I don’t know why you’d want them poking out like that.

RE: Episodic Games & 'Down Time'
@Livia Yeah I think having an ‘anchor’ character is important, I guess I am just trying to figure out how you could make the downtime not seem like it is taking for.ev.er?

Episodic Games & 'Down Time'
I keep circling back to this idea of episodic games and how much I enjoyed playing HorrorMU when it was around. I know the Network was very popular, too. I love the concept of episodic games because I tend to only be able to stick with a concept for about 3 months (or less) before I get the itch to start something new, but one thing that’s always bothered me is the down time. I get it is important so that staff can catch a break in between episodes, but as someone who is not a big fan of pure slice of life / social fluff scenes, the aspect of the downtime has always made me hesitant to join (or create) an episodic game.
So I wanted to pick some brains and see what people’s thoughts are on this. Does an episodic game NEED a downtime where everyone goes back to a central facility as the “real” them? How can you make that time more interactive and story-driven, and less parties and social hangouts? Are episodic games even something that you enjoy?
Curious to see what everyone else’s thoughts are on this.

That said, people are on these streets making @bear_necessities and I agree on things.
The horror, the horror! lol but I honestly can’t remember the last time I disagreed with you on something so maybe the world is righting itself.
Either that or my memory is failing me because I’m 40 now

RE: MU Peeves Thread
@helvetica all the @Alveraxus account does is shamelessly self promote their game and how they do things Different.
also this is all conjecture and rumor but there’s a suggestion that @mangosplitz and @Alveraxus might be the same person in which case it’s kinda gross that they’d use one account to bash Concordia and another to promote how their game does it better >.>

RE: Installing Arxcode?
maybe a stupid question but would this even be worth doing on Ares? I play 99.5% through the portal, never look at people’s descs, and would have no idea if they had pretty colored clothes or not.

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.

RE: City of Glass - Discussion

RE: MU Peeves Thread
if someone’s found my missing mojo, could you please return it? It’s been gone a really long time. I am peeved that I have all these ideas to write stuff and then the second I sit down to actually do it I’m like “eh” and do something else entirely.

@Roz Given the recent news about Vince McMahon, I too want to know what that gif means.
I mean I didn’t know the recent news until you said something and I looked it up so I wouldn’t assign anything nefarious to it.
Looks like @watno is just choked up by something that happened if I had to guess, emotional about a story?

RE: MU Peeves Thread
@Snackness I do this a lot to everyone and it’s not a them thing but a me thing.
Me: Hey wanna grab a scene sometime? I want to rp with you!
Them: yeah!3 days later
Me: oh that person never asked me to rp, they were probably being nice, oh maybe that’s the brain weasels and i should just ask them, but they know I want to rp so why aren’t they asking me?
3 more days later:
Me: it’s too late to ask now and if they wanted to scene with me they would’ve asked, right? right.And then it’s 3 weeks and I haven’t logged into the game and my anxiety is on HIGH ALERT and i’ll just play My Time at Sandrock because that seems really easier than asking people to play with me.
sorry if I’m part of the problem, ilu

Once I told my husband when he asked me why I’m afraid of geese: do you know how many people DIE from geese attacks every year?!?!?!
The answer is 0. But I really thought it would be more.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
I will say that I don’t think anyone should expect staff to be mindreaders but also the players shouldn’t expect to be mindreaders also - and it can be extremely hard to “know” that stuff is Happening after a long break, especially if you are not connected to certain groups. Specific to the interrogation, I recall an OOC conversation where people were asking to be involved months ago and the tone was not having a ton of people in the room or something similar to that, and while I think that came from a player rather than staff, it can be super intimidating to even the most proactive of players to hear stuff like that and still try to be involved. And IIRC didn’t a lot of the people suddenly thrust into leadership go pretty inactive immediately afterward? It’s sort of a “sucks all around” sort of situation.
Anyway I do think we have a tendency to believe staff should come to us when we’re being proactive to reward us for good behavior or whatever and ehhh I don’t think that’s a good way to go about getting involved in things.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
@helvetica 100% not on you as a player, other players suck and it is fucking exhausting as a person to try and be inclusive and get 0 answer from anyboy.
Just giving my “from the outside looking in” perspective on the situation. But also lol @mangosplitz just from my time on Concordia I 100% believe if you asked the head GM there to be involved, you would? So idk you get what you give in any situation.
