I thought the premise was that it was a small (ish) population in a sealed city that was just opened up to the post-apoc world. In-city empires? Nations?

I would have been there skinemax power tripping day one.

I mean, there was some of this for sure. For player helpers on Arx, one of the questions was 'name a woman who is not fictional or dead who is smarter than you are."

And it did drive some assholes away, fully intended.

@Tez this is actually the secret. If you want people to want more rp with you, rp curiosity about their characters. That’s it, that’s literally all it takes.

@howyadoin okay

@InkGolem evennnia, yeah

@Prototart the Prince Batman soundtrack was the first cassette tape I ever bought for myself with my own allowance

@Ominous we’re still waiting for you to name one Nirvana song

@Prototart you deserve a pony

for someone infamous, hiding would mean actually changing the behaviors they became known for, AND not being weirdly preoccupied with their former characters/reps.

I feel like it’s possible, but we’ve never seen it happen.

@NotSanni ok but how are people in this hobby deluded into thinking anyone else will think LLM writing is good? The game in question is not a minecraft server, it’s a real MU with real MUers who have been writing for years.

@Yam said in MU Peeves Thread:

Peeve, the (bad) public chat comedian. Everything is a fumbled attempt at a joke and a convo killer. We are nothing but a captive audience to them, and they refuse to engage with players in any way that doesn’t center around them.

If you’re gonna’ go up there with a mic at least be funny, aaaaa.

what’s the deal with airplane food amirite

If you don’t want people buying skills mid-event in order to increase rolls, just make a rule about that. You can’t do an xp spend to buy a skill that has already been called for by a gm.

If you want people to justify their xp choices with rp logs or something, well - stop. It’s not reasonable.

@Prototart damn imagine being LC or WW and NOT supporting the girlies. Historic hobby L

From what little I know about Ruby, we all know that she’s picking LC for two very certain assets that appeal to Ruby’s target audience and nothing else.

triangle titties?

@Colette yeah but you can just ban them again and make more mocking additions to their banning post, and eventually - probably after they send some unhinged email to your coder about exposing his girlfriend on facebook - they will get bored and go do something else. Ask me how I know!

It’s not that hard to ban sex pests. Most gamesystems come with some form of the ban command, and you just tell them good luck with their future endeavors and hit that puppy.

@Tez said in Hello, Survey, and Looking for Recs:

Now, questions for us:

The largest sentiment gap is by preferred game style – MUD fans average 3.53 while MUSH fans average 2.85 (49.2% vs 19.5% happy) (Table 10, Figure 10).

Why so unhappy, fam?

friendship is bad and people shouldn’t have it

@Colette said in What's up with the two Age of Heroes games?:

Shocking concept around these parts, I know.

why are these parts catching strays??

@Yam in my experience the issue is not incentivizing people to do it but finding a way to make the stories told by players agree with, or more troublesomely, feel on par with the metaplot/GM stories.
