@Pavel That only works when a student hands it in raw. Many I’ve encountered have been using AI to write the bulk of it and then editing and adding.

@Pyrephox ok yeah, that’s probably fair

I’m in the planning process of making a game and I’ve been thinking of ways to keep everything smooth an and safe. The thread about tough calls had me thinking: who are some players that I should consider pre-banning to prevent trouble?

I understand if this comes off as uncool and I apologize if it does.

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.

Went to check it out and it looks like it’s now super locked down. What’s the story there?

@dvoraen Even if it is in their favor, it’s still a day that is deeply mixed because of the pain and trauma that is associated with it. Every adoption is a broken family, even if it’s in the best interest of the child. There is no adoptee without adoption trauma, and the same goes for natural parents, even those who voluntarily gave up their parental rights. It absolutely is a special day for their family, and also it is one that likely comes with other emotions as well.

@Prototart “saddest people in the entire universe”?

I was going to make a New Jersey joke, but upon reflection, Atlantic City would make a great setting. Lots of class issues, places for things to hide…

@Jumpscare There was that shifter game set in Wyoming

@Redbird Man, have I got some Pucci stories from back in the day

@Redbird

As in the official tabletop system, or?

rofl apparently i’d learned and asked about this before and forgotten about it, as i discovered when i searched. my b.

Oof

I recently finished the most recent October Daye book and a friend mentioned that the first few books were basically just lifted from some WoD MU back in the mists of time. It’s my favorite brain candy series and if anyone here played with her, I’d really love more info on what was lifted, the characters and events in their original contexts, that sort of thing. I just started a reread with this in mind and I’m trying to see if I can spot things that are glaring. No real reason, the exercise is just tickling my brain.

@Jennkryst said in Missed Settings:

There was that Legally Distinct Not-Really Zombies game set in Canada where people got infested with worms instead of your usual virus and/or Last of Us Fungus. But it was tricksy.

Tricksy how?

For my own contribution, I would love to see a Dystopia Rising MU. I loved the hell out of that LARP when I was young and could run around the woods all night.

@Pavel There’s only so much you can do with a string of disjointed statements.

@Pavel There’s not even internal consistency, forget about citations.

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

@NotSanni Oh, for sure.

@NotSanni Ten bucks says this is the same guy who did this sad display a few weeks ago. This is totally alpha job-having behavior.
