Seeing cool new characters that look like they might be fun to RP with but not wanting to instantly PM them and come off creepy/overexcited/stalkery/etc.

So even if @De-Villefort is right and all genres except for sci-fi and cyberpunk are filled with nothing but bad terrible people…

So what?

Sometimes it’s fun to play the villain. Do you think that any actor that gets the role of a villainous type absolutely hates their job while doing so? Do you think Alan Rickman or Christopher Lee cried in anguish every morning they woke up before going off to play their various famous villainous roles?

hi I’m new to the clique. what time are our weekly meetings on who to dogpile that week? I’m also signing on up bringing cups and ice.

@ten You can tell my em dashes are legit because I always use them — incorrectly.

I like a good meowdy

@Cygnus I want conflict to come from the environment and NPCs. I don’t want to worry about my character getting ganked because another player thinks it’s fun.

If I want PVP, I’ll boot up Rivals or something similar.

Conspiracy theory time.

What if Ganymede wanted to end MSB ALL ALONG?! Her RL has gotten so busy that she couldn’t control MSB with so many members as it was but didn’t want to let go of her online authoritah so she hired someone that she knew would be divisive and would let to at least half of the members would be banned or leave on their own so she wouldn’t have to do so much work but still appear cool calm collected catbot (BECAUSE THAT PERSONALITY IS SO FUNNY!) and it worked out enough because she’s cold emotionless lawyer who doesn’t have time for FEELINGS and admitting to making a mistake is a fate far worse than DEATH!

pls feel free to ignore this message, brought to you by bored people at work sitting in boring meetings and already mentally clocked out for the 4-day weekend.

@KarmaBum said in Bannings:

Also that Derp is a misogynist prick who lacks the self-awareness to realize he’s the problem, not all of us.

Derp is the embodiment of ‘she shouldn’t have been wearing that dress’.

@hellfrog What do you expect from a forum run by a dude that has said in threads regarding similar topics that “maybe she shouldn’t have gone down that alley” and other such gross things?

@helvetica Fabulous. Then please avoid the ‘Classic World of Darkness’ Discord server for now. The server owner decided to open a political channel and refuses to state their political aligning.

I may be wrong to assume this site is anti-Nazi/etc.

SO!

Pet peeve, when the CWOD discord server you’re on decides to open a politics channel and you see not only the host of the server refuse to say they’re anti-Nazism but also a bunch of people supporting Nazism in the server… Many sads that there’s still people clinging to all that nonsense in the RP world.

@hellfrog said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

@catzilla like the wife who asked her husband to pack her work lunch and he gave her his chipotle leftovers and a BAG OF DOG FOOD like

“HAHA YOU JUST DON’T GET OUR HUMOR!”

@Lemon-Fox said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

Okay. So, give me a place to play. Somewhere fairly busy, without draconian standards of what you can or cannot pose, where I can be a socialite without running scenes or getting anything approved.

Do you have that?

Because weirdly enough, I don’t get harassed on AoA. Every time someone got a little too weird, I’ve asked them to stop and they did. Twice, before you ask. And I’ve never had someone go out of their way to make my life miserable, which did happen on Arx and a couple superhero MUs.

When I say I can just ignore Cujo and little changes for my gaming experience, I mean it. So what do you want me to do, exactly? Quit to make a pointless statement?

This is reminding me of those wives on Tiktok that complain about their terrible husbands.

“Sure, my husband let my kids sit in filth and didn’t tidy up the house at all when I went away for the weekend and also destroyed all my makeup when they were mad a few times… BUT YOU CAN’T JUDGE OUR LIFE FROM 30 SECONDS ON TIKTOK!” Then defend their terrible spouse like their life depends on it.

Just make your own game with your friends who aren’t sex pests or abuse enablers and have fun with that.

@Lemon-Fox said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

Him being weird doesn’t make the game unplayable.

staffers doing stuff like what’s in this thread should absolutely make a game unplayable lol

I guess I have a very different definition of ‘weird’. Weird to me is like, occasionally spouting off ‘i has sporkz’ randomness.

Being a sex pest, supporting/sheltering sex pests, and all the various levels of harassment that have been described in this thread is not ‘weird’ it’s abuse.

But, there is the statistic where it takes someone about 7 times/tries before they leave their abuser.

@Lemon-Fox said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

@DapperPenguin Thank you. I think I needed to hear this. I can’t promise I’ll walk away yet, but… Ugh. I think I always suspected. And I let Cujo talk me out of my convictions, not once but twice. That’s very unlike me. Thanks for speaking up. I really appreciate it.

With everything you know, what exactly is keeping you there?

I have trouble believing that the game and stories and staff are THAT GREAT to keep playing at a place that makes you miserable and allegedly makes you give up your convictions.

@Yam said in AI In Poses:

Has ANYONE gotten banned, not suspected, BANNED, for use of LLM in poses/profiles/etc when they HAVEN’T used it?

This is the only thing that concerns me. I’m a FOOL and was tricked by at least 1 AI app that slipped through. Sorry to catzilla for having to RP with this ai person for a week I recall you lamenting.

At least it made me aware that people are doing copy and paste of AI in their writings/backgrounds/etc.

I can’t recall if their poses were actually AI but everything in their profiles was.

And then looking back at it (before the website went kablooey) I was like, this is so obvious AI how did I not know?

I am glad WM isn’t Saulot.

Most of my memories of WM, like stated already, was them defending/agreeing with people like Derp, jujube/inuki/pika, and others.

I also have never understood cheating in games, ESPECIALLY RP games, even more especially on non-PvP games like CoG.

@Aria I made my reply before reading that this is the same person that tried the alt shenanigans on CoG.

@Warma-Sheen My guy! I have held you in the highest regard since you were my ST on Fabula Rasa and you RP’d with my character on Bump in the Night. It would be disappointing to see that this is how far you’ve fallen.

What happened?
