@helvetica Lmfao ahahaha

ETA: TO BE CLEAR to everyone Tez abuses me with love, don’t worry. She’s not a forum despot.

she’s a forum little teapot

@Tez teapot size comparison, frog for scale. (Tez is small, everyone.)

@Aria Not to mention switching up your writing style? If that’s a concern for Carmen Sandiego-type roleplayers? I feel like I say the same stupid words all the time on repeat.

In my youth, I could do so many alts. Roster writing helps fulfill that itch without all the commitment (and I guess, rp crime).

It may be worth stating that this type of ban doesn’t have to be representative of who the player is as a person. As opposed to like… a sex pest ban or banning one of those people qualified to teach a masterclass on toxicity and manipulation. It’s okay for a place to just… not be right for you.

@Yam I mean, earlier in the intro to mu*ing thread it was mentioned about nuerodiverse our community is. We’d be just as well served by a masterclass on how to communicate a clear boundary instead of relying on hints and easily misinterpreted social cues. But I know that would give plenty of people panic attacks, too. This stuff is all just part of the beautiful mess.

@Yam Is this in reference to WoD culture? If so, does not apply.

I can only speak for myself in that… being admin on a game is not a customer service position and if you take out your bullshit on admin like it is one even a little bit, you run the risk of being invited to leave. That might be a difficult metric, but so is being a little asshole.

PSA: Don’t treat customer service workers poorly, either.

@Tez ngl when you told @Yam to get fucked while they were being like " ;_; forgive others," i thought wow TOO FAR

telling people to get fucked.

It doesn’t leave a lot of room for ambiguity regarding your tone, for sure.

@Third-Eye To quote a scholar (@Tat), CG can be as much an interview period to feel out a player and how they navigate your system, hearing the word no, etc.

I’ve banned someone during CG for being generally disruptive, becoming increasingly agitated with the system and insisting thematic areas that were explicitly not allowed should be plausible for them because they could talk in circles real good.

@Yam There is a distinction between lacking the ability to offer grace and choosing not to offer grace. I understand that you qualify some sort of moral superiority to being forgiving, but forgiveness isn’t something owed. In our hobby, admin are going to make judgment calls. If those judgment calls don’t align with your world view to this level where you’re still chewing on it, that’s when you as a player should consider playing on a different game. (This is theoretical. I don’t know if you play there. I don’t play there.)

@Ominous Would you say that Meg’s power over this poll is negatively impacting you?

@Wizz @helvetica @Trashcan

curating a smaller player base

Yes, please. Tangential, but I can’t with the frenzy that happens on some of these games nowadays. As soon as I start signing on the next day to a wall of new forum notifications, I find myself dropping off. Slightly more intimate player bases can be so much fun.

I would probably have said something like “Hey, it’s not okay to talk to me like that. I’m done with this for today, but if you want to approach me again tomorrow with a better mindset, I am open to a discussion”.

That’s reasonable. It’s also reasonable for someone to nope out of doing that work, especially for a rude stranger.

@Warma-Sheen

@Aria My mother is touting a picture of him holding me as a baby, today.

I’m gonna miss that dude! I rarely go to fancy restaurants, but I feel like every time I ever do… he’s there, out with one or more beautiful twinks. smh. single tear drop.

My cool* young aunt who had just moved away to college used to mu so obviously she had to be copied. It was also one of the pern games. Lord knows which one. 20+ years ago.

*I now understand she was not cool

@Cobalt Sometimes a person has a special connection with a dragon and together as very best friends, they breathe fire at horrible worms from the sky.

Plus you get a free t-shirt that says: Dragons made me do gay stuff.

Reading mentions of your character in the logs.

Have some Wingleader rosters up for grabs for some low-stakes responsibility/leadery PCs. With the impression age skewing older than Pern settings of olde, there’s a bit more room for maturity and politicking between Weyrs – which would be fun to see!
