BRB making a few alt accounts to upvote all my own posts, since all you cowards refuse to give me enough microdoses of dopamine.

The staff just imperiously announced ‘We’re skipping ahead fifteen years so that Rey and Ben Solo can have lots of babies! If you don’t like it, leave!’

Actually, it’s Rey and Poe’s babies on Age of Kora. Poe, played by Sumi’s player.

Still a better match IMHO.

POE IS MARRIED TO FINN, AND NOTHING JJ OR DISNEY SAYS WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.

Since Derp and Ghost keep bringing it up, I’ll repeat a point I’ve made before:

People are going to keep talking about the community being hijacked, because at the end of the day, before any of this happened, any of YOU who feel the need to talk about bullies being mean - YOU could have made your own board, and made it however you wanted.

Instead, you decided to change the rules of the board we were all on and throw anyone who disagreed out. Which is the root of it all. And you know it. Because you keep bringing up how we went somewhere else and made the rules we wanted.

And it’s pretty fucked up how you keep rewriting history to justify the decision.

(:Public:) Ax (A) is curious what Kasia/Zephyr did that was bad enough to have not only her, but those people associated with her get their alts destroyed and their primary characters (some of who were on vacation) sent to the Old Guard Lounge and @passworded? Is that the new standard of dealing with people who investigate claims of sexual harassment here? Burn them and their associates? I’m just curious
(:Public:) Cujo says, “Ax, you don’t care about any of those things.”
(:Public:) Cujo says, “If you did, you’d put in a request to talk privately.”
(:Public:) Cujo says, “But you didn’t do that, you posted it publicly because you want to make a huge show of things.”
(:Public:) Cujo sayz, “So now you’re banned from this channel, well done.”

DO NOT SPEAK OUT, OR YOU WILL BE SILENCED, etc etc. Shocker.

Another person banned for person attacks, despite making fewer personal attacks than Ghost. Maybe it was the big words?

Of course, they had to ban @Kestrel. You showed up with receipts about their hypocrisy. 12/10. Would also upvote if I could.

@kalakh said in Bannings:

The new argument that this is merely the result of wanting more moderation and people are just mad that they are being moderated (because they’re super hypocrites and are now getting theirs), sure is a take.

People wanted moderation to fork threads or move them to different boards, and to ban the rapists or that one guy who sprouts up every couple months and tries to set everything on fire. So technically yes, more moderation was wanted.

But it is an extremely bad faith reading that the logical conclusion is ‘ban everyone who dares to speak out’. Pretty against the spirit of the job that was asked to be done, you might say.

@hobos said in Bannings:

I do care that VulgarKitten lied to those people, and I feel for them, particularly one who I personally admire who was really hurt by the lies. More importantly, she is sorry about it.

If she is actually sorry about it, perhaps she should admit that and apologize, and not pretend to be a totally different, literally new person, which fits the profile of the issues in the first place?

VK/Hella

I didn’t know who Hella was. lmaoooooo

Yeah, she literally changed her username and started pretending to be a new person right after the banning- spree, and nobody has called her out on it.

@farfalla Ares logs are system-created and (to my knowledge) can’t be edited. I would probably take a regular log too, but that would mean I was playing on a non-Ares game, and ain’t nobody got time to go technologically backwards.

Yeah, they can’t be edited unless you’re a coder, because they come straight from the database and not a player’s computer.

THAT JUST PROVES THE CODER IS IN ON THE CHEMTRAIL FLOURIDE CONSPIRACY TO MAKE PEOPLE LOOK BAD BECAUSE THEY ARE AN ENEMY OF THE CLIQUE!!!111!!1!ONE!!!111ELEVEN!

@Polk The whole thread is not moved, the relevant posts can be individually forked over to a new appropriate thread, as needed.

@Hobbie There is BTMux, which is only appealing to people who liked HSpace but thought it didn’t go hard enough. But also BTMux is only mech scale… you can VTOL or tank or squad of ground troops, but no proper aerospace or individual person.

Literally just Lords and Ladies but in SPAAAAACE,

Yes.

Also, I am ready for it .

Maybe I’ll finally get the updated Time of War book, because that selective OCD is hitting hard.

Also Urbanmech Plush, for clout.

@SpaceKhomeini Literally just Lords and Ladies but in SPAAAAACE, and Mechs instead of full plate.

… but if combat campaigns, Megamech or whatever. The hard part is they don’t have personal-scale rules, though, so it’s tricksy.

@TNP not quite a zombie, but

To keep with the naming convention, all skills should include ‘zombie’:

‘Shooting Zombies’
‘Outrunning Zombies’
‘Wilderness Zombie Avoidance’

Etc.

@shit-piss-love Disney programmed us into knowing that the villains are the hotties, and Mean Girls confirmed it.

BASK IN OUR MEAN, EVIL CRUELTY!

Still mad I lost DMs and contact possibilities with old friends who only log in over there once in a blue moon.

I’ve still got access if you want me to pass on contact details to anyone, but there’s been all of… two posts in a week.

You fool, when we point out how little they actually talk, they burst into a flurry of action to ‘nu-uh, we are totally active and busy, see?!?’ out of spite. (The record of 0 activity that I counted once was 11 days, if memory serves, let’s see if they can go longer)

EDIT: whoops, someone already posted over there even before this, so it didn’t trip it at all, actually. Anyway.

@Rucket [nerd_glasses]But what about when the tournament arc happens and we all have to kung-fu eachother?!?[/nerd_glasses]

I think one of the main reasons X of Darkness games have that secrecy mindset is because the setting has secrecy baked into it, thematically. MORTALS DO NOT KNOW, WE MUST NOT REVEAL OURSELVES, THERE ARE EMEMY ORGS TRYING TO SNEAK IN AND DESTROY US FROM WITHIN

…

And yeah, wanting to keep sheets secret from people you are at war with for whatever reason is like. Appropriate.

But if people can be mature adul-NO WAIT COME BACK!

I didn’t have anything to actually finish that thought, just the joke.

LUCKY FOR THE EXALTED COMMUNITY, they already have open sheets. And lucky for the Ares code, the only thing Essence rules needs to track are motes.

Will isn’t Willpower, it’s built up SORCERY power, and can be done in downtime so you can assume you start at 10 unless plot intervenes.

Power is INERTIA built up towards dealing damage to someone, and I believe it always starts at 0, so ot can be tracked in-scene.

Anima builds during combat and fades after, so can be tracked in-scene.

Limit does not exist in Essence… the curse can go off at any moment!

And Health is health. Already trackable but healing can be sped up with charms. Need to look at the code for that.

So Motes are the only real thing to track (even then, you can assume full unless you’re doing ‘this takes place before you have time to fully recover from the last thing’ scenes)
