Do they have an r/MSB so we can Nelson-laugh at the host getting bought out from under them?

you all can make it past chargen?

My Otaku sits in chargen at Shadowrun Denver Fifteen years waiting for staff to officially unban them for any/all, since they were soft-unbanned/only got banned in the first place because of fuckery.

It has been two months, yet the fuckery continues.

@somasatori said in Numetal/Retromux:

To be fair, Jenn, I feel like the act of asking about unplayable/disallowed character types is kind of your version of MUSHing.

In the Otaku-specific instance, at the time I entered chargen they were legal. There was some fuckery that occurred that I went over elsewhere and can go over again, sure why not. But later.

Edit: Nagah are very much the unplayable thing I ask about, because sexy sneks. Mummies are more a meme at this point.

@Kestrel said in Numetal/Retromux:

Maybe they end up with fewer interested, but much higher-investment players, and they like it that way.

An aside: Almost certainly not.

That was the stated reason for arduous chargens in the past. But my observation is that the quicker a player gets into RP, the more likely they are to stay. 30 minutes to chargen, fast approval and you get into a fun scene right off? You will connect again. A few fun scenes in as many visits? You’re hooked and likely to play for a pretty long time. Six hours of work to chargen, days waiting for approval? That’s where you get the people who stop logging in before they even know they got approved. It seems counter-intuitive that they’d not be invested after all that time, but ask B.F. Skinner.

Then there’s my dumb ass, logging into the 16 year old account on Shadowrun Denver to see about unlocking Otaku after a decade-old bit of fuckery.

“Please, share a hate message, it means a lot to us.”

Riiight.

Bad faith is bad faith, and its starting to look like jumping to the ‘everyone is racist’ conclusion is your default approach to things.

@Wikibara ‘can you believe the shit someone from [game] sent me?’

Possibility 1) ‘They do not play there’ big oopsy doodle apologies all around.
Possibility 2) ‘Holy shit this other person does actually play there, let us purge the bad actor’

… like, tracking the bad actors is half the point of the community.

@Wikibara said in Numetal/Retromux:

no plans to dox anyone involved

Circling back to this, right here, this is the problem. Because you could have just posted a screenshot and people could have immediately seen whether or not the comments came from anyone affiliated with the game.

@Wikibara said in Numetal/Retromux:

to ensure that I include the words, “Troll,” “Kithain,” “Dreaming,” “Fae,” “Noble,” “Glamour,” “Banality,” “Changeling.”

Missed opportunity to use them all in a single sentence.

@Juniper said in Tales of Zalanthas:

Let the skulking commence

I totally read the correct word the first time, definitely didn’t misread it as something else.

Do note my first response was not to stab Larry the Leader in his face. My first response was ‘staff cannot control my emits or rolls’.

So say staff says ‘you cannot depose the Prince’. And then you go out and do lots of social RP and get most other people to support disposing the Prince and you +roll your big social dice and everyone at court is like ‘New Prince New Prince rah rah rah!’ And staff says ‘despite your successes, you were never allowed to try in the first place. So you fail’?

Now is when the stabbing happens. Because social dice are fast and loose, but combat dice are explicitly laid out, and staff had already shown to everyone they do not care about the rules.

It has to be called out to their face in front of everyone. Because suppose there is a game where every sphere has the same staffer PC in a leadership position, and a bunch of people keep quitting the game because they throw their dicks around. Maybe not everyone, but plenty. And even when the reason is given in private, its private and so you can pretend to ignore the obvious connection.

Going big is the only way to maybe open the eyes of people who are willfully ignoring it.

… what do you mean ‘am I talking about somewhere specific’? What would give you that idea?

@Pavel said in Numetal/Retromux:

@Aria Hey. I was perfectly okay for approximately 37 minutes on Thursday, January 15th, 1987, between 00:04 and 00:41.

Weird, I was happy for at least 10 years after that. Maybe it has something to do with where you grew up, what was the name of the street you lived on?

@Wizz said in Numetal/Retromux:

y’all. go outside. for…like…a while.

being in this headspace is just Not Good, for anyone involved.

I work in food service. I mu for pretend fun times, not to put up with the same kind of shit I at least get paid for at work.

@Gashlycrumb No, my PC stabs Larry Leader in the face. And when staff goes ‘no this is not allowed’ go ‘I dunno, it sure looks like I got enough successes to kill Larry and take the throne’ and then when I get PK’d other people will maybe quit due to staff cheating fuckery. Or not. But whatevs.

We are once again being dictatorially controlled by admins, spin up the new forum immediately! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

There’s also the places multi-room code, where you have a single room object for like… Boat, with the normal description being the boat itself, then you +join the fore party space, and the room desc changes to the party space, until you +join below deck, and the room desc changes to below deck, until you +join cabins, and the room desc…

Etc and so on; now everyone on the boat can see the poses (unless you still do place-only code emits), but it’s helpful for people who have doors open, or who can look down from the pilot’s house and see the party people, or or or.
