I’m going to expand on a thought I had in the Neon Protocol thread.

I think it absolutely should be considered best practice for staff bits to have an Ares handle linked. I honestly don’t care if your average player has one linked, but staff feels different to me because of the power dynamic. It feels intentionally shady and I don’t see any legitimate reasons for it. To me, this feels like an entirely separate discussion from whether or not staff should disclose their PCs.

Apping into a game is an investment of time and energy, especially if you don’t half-ass it. People should be able to decide whether or not they want to invest that time and energy and if they are willing to have an unavoidable relationship with that staffer due to the nature of how games are run.

Why do I feel like I am reading a homework assignment from doomer accelerationist kindergarten

@Yam Absolutely. Blu and Road, I think, have a great reputation in that regard, as does Tat. Clockwork.

@labsunlimited Can you imagine how cool he felt writing that, dick in his hand, Dread up on a TOR browser so he can feel like a badass hacker when it’s really just Reddit for losers

@Faraday Point absolutely taken. This conversation has, in a rare instance that I can’t recall seeing on the internet in many years, changed my understanding and stance on this.

Those ostentatiously self-impressed individuals who labor under the profoundly misguided delusion that composing sentences in this extravagantly baroque and needlessly loquacious fashion endows them with an aura of elevated intellect.

I’d honestly take three months of good RP over a game that drags on and on past its expiration date

While that ChatGPT Wikipedia guide is sort of okay, here are some really obvious tells that I’ve noticed.

“It’s not x. It’s y.”

“It’s x. And that matters.”

ChaGPT also likes the words “weight” and “pressure” a lot.

Here’s a style example:

It writes like this. Short sentences. And then starting a sentence with a conjunction. That’s why each paragraph has weight, and that matters.

@Artemis I think you’re in good company, even if that’s not something people like to talk about.

@bnuuy That’s rich coming from a guy who makes multiple socks on a MU forum to upvote himself.
