@Aria Everything about this is deeply weird.
Now imagine for a moment someone is cold, they’re wearing this, and that’s not where their nipples are in their bra so now it looks like they have like a million nipples.

Mild Bummer Peeve: Introduced idea of Thing to Do, got undermined with this “ok, but” attitude and the moment passed. Which is what it is… like, if someone isn’t interested in doing what you’re doing, that’s life. Except the vibe shift almost took permission away from other people to show interest? I know that gatekeeping was not at all the intention. Which is all me overthinking the sentiment: this was disappointing and getting that momentum back during a hard work week didn’t happen as naturally as I would have liked.
I would like the record to reflect that I just threw what I felt was some well-earned shade. I didn’t come for anybody’s neck. That said, people are on these streets making @bear_necessities and I agree on things.
@mietze What I mean is, the “well on my game, we do x” approach is starting to come off as self-serving.
ETA: like an advertisement for a game
ngl, I am finding the Game Ads tone that some of this convo has taken to be a little off-putting.
re: The distinction between IC and OOC inclusivity… yo, word, everybody is entitled to their fantasy. Structuring any setting along lines of racial, gendered, or sexual hegemony in this day and age would be a choice. (Although, I guess that Pern game has stuck to its guns.)
But also… I don’t want to play in some kind of pre-established utopia. I’d rather play fighting for one and building one. Having no adversity and no socially structured limitations on a game sounds boring as fuck.
I did arch an eyebrow when Concordia opened up with a total lack of significant social strata for PCs. No commoners, no lesser nobles, no house leadership – some of which did change in later iterations of the theme. It significantly alters the type of stories the game can tell. Which is fine. (It also alters type of headaches staff engages with, valid.) But that is an OOC limitation not backed up by lore, so the game-running strategy for that issue is admittedly different.
@Roz Well, WoD has certainly made up for lost time, now.
@Snackness I know there’s a joke here somewhere to make fun of ovulation guy but I just don’t have it in me to make it.
lol I just signed back into msb and typed “ovulation” into the search. And. There’s a lot going on.

someone playing two characters in a scene together
I’m assuming this? I mean, I’ve seen people be multiple staff bits, with multiple alts on games. And rp with one another/themselves the entire time.

@Tributary I will never get over WoD names for things. Sorry. What is a flowering fairest??? I need it to really contextualize this.
Also sorry you had to deal with annoying people who don’t have a grasp on reality of situations.
just wait until you get to the darkling swimmerskins
cut to @Meg the very next day
@BeetPoet Stressful. Glad you were able to clear things up! I’d rather have a staff that bans than doesn’t.

how am I both completely blown away and yet not surprised at all by this information
Needs separate dot for just Philadelphians.
@insomniac I also settled on adept for dreamy future times that never happened. I also wrote Lark’s soul brand, but I guess I’ll probably repurpose that bit of writing for some other use.
@sao By the end of days, I’m sure he made a wonderful pirate princess.
