@Cygnus said in Numetal/Retromux:
@LeeRoyBatty I let his bullshit lies get to me
Wait, bullshit lies, where’s the lie?
Let me re-read this shit. He said Eddie being a sex pest has not been reported with proof. So far as I can tell, this is true. His banning was due to harrassment that was not sexual in nature AFAICT. It’s on their bbposts still, actually. That doesn’t mean that therefore Eddie is an angel, it just means that Sephiroth said Eddie isn’t a sex pest, he’s an asshole.
He then said Chaos and the rest of staff are not sex pests. Chaos calling you cute is definitely inappropriate, but I can’t say that that behavior rises to “sex pest” material, especially given that it’s all you presented, so I see no pattern. You do say “he deleted several of his weirder DMs” and that may be true, but you could also just be saying that. and Sephiroth can’t know what’s in your personal DM history with Chaos in order to lie about it so there’s no “lie” here of Sephiroth’s to get heated about.
He said that he’s not TSing. Personally I’m happy taking that at face value because it’s not a reasonable concern to maintain. I have neither the time, inclination, nor the methods to make sure that staffers are not fucking. Or if they must, at least fucking me and lavishing me with attention (in the missionary position under the auspices of holy matrimony for the procreation of children in God’s holy name, Jesus be praised)
He questioned whether you had receipts re: outing people as trans, said to his knowledge no transphobia has occurred…
And then he said “Also you smell bad therfore your argument is invalid” in so many words, but rather he said “I bet you’re Vincent” which you confirmed in spades
And then he said “Vincent was a Gangrel/kinfolk super special snowflake vampire”
which you confirmed“complete with shifter rites”
which you confirmed“that he got approved by utilizing a friend who was on staff that he regularly plays Dungeons and Dickheads with via discord.”
which you refuted so I’ll take you at face value that this was a lieThen he said “Vincent has what we call Main Character Syndrome”
Which you have unsuccessfully argued against and I maintain is trueAnd then he goes and tells his lens on the exact same story you told (I had this kinfolk vampire who was accepted by neither side)
You also confirmed that staffers “stood up for you to let it continue to play out ICly” (Sephiroth’s phrasing) and given your play by play of how you presented yourself to the vampires, even without Eddie being a shitbag, Ray Charles could see how that was going to go from the ISS.
He claimed that you had a buddy introduce a special plot where you turn into a mortal and they shot it down, you seem to think that Golconda turns you into a mortal, it doesn’t. It just makes your beast go into remission TLDR. You still are undead/wyrm-tainted.
And then he said he refused to give you further special favors like “Extra XP to acquire more ridiculous powers, above what the templates called for”
So I mean, no, I don’t think you let Sephiroth’s “lies” get to you unless it REALLY GOT UNDER YOUR SKIN that the SPECIFIC DETAIL OF WHO APPROVED your clusterfuck of a character mattered enough to write a goddamn thesis. I still maintain Sephiroth cheapened his point by pointing out your own flawed actions, but don’t get it twisted. He ain’t lyin’. ESH, Reddit, ESH.

RE: Numetal/Retromux
@Cygnus I am still desperate to know how you introduced yourself to the werwolves. We know the elysium half of the story but please indulge me about the other. Maybe you already said it and I was wildly distracted

RE: Numetal/Retromux
But nobody knew or gave a shit dude so why did you even bother?
OH NO MY MUSH REPUTATION IS RUINEDEvery game i join they’re going to remember that i was vincent because some obscure asshole on a game of pretend for adults who calls himself the ONE WINGED ANGEL wrote a waterfall of text most people probably didn’t even read
I better build a whole stage production to defend myself and confirm that I am this person
Next time just keep your eye on the prize and say “Who I am or am not is irrelevant to the point I’m making.” Sephiroth (cue music) didn’t do himself ANY favors by trying to discredit you because a valid statement is not invalidated by who happens to say it, so he cheapened his entire point by stapling on AND ALSO YOU SMELL BAD. Shoulda just let his own self-undermining have done all the work.
Man If I played that character you could not have waterboarded the truth out of me.

RE: Numetal/Retromux
@Cygnus said in Numetal/Retromux:
how is my making a gangrel kinfolk character even slightly equivalent on the toxicity scale with all the shit I’ve proved about this game? I came with receipts too, and people are just saying shit about me that didn’t happen without a receipt to be found. I posted the truth about the situation, including stuff about my character. Because I could really care less about what people think of my character. Some people like it, some people didn’t. Who cares?
What annoys me is that the majority of people here are ignoring the actual problematic shit to get mad about how people decide to have their fantasy fun time. It has true WORA genetics, but it’s the definition of strawman and not at all equivalent in terms of shittiness. Sorry, but I don’t see how the fact I had a couple rites and took a wolf form in court is equivalent to OOC, cross-character harassment that multiple people in this thread have pointed out about this game. NOT just me.
Both things can be true – that staff has made batshit and shitty decisions, and that you have made batshit and shitty decisions. The reason why I’m focusing on YOU is because you’re here. Chaos isn’t in here defending himself – he definitely should not have caleld you cute, obviously – and neither is Eddie. With Eddie, the matter seems to be addressed (whether or not to your satisfaction) because he got banned.
Meanwhile you’re here kicking around on the thread while deflecting and minimizing so people are responding to said deflection and minimizing. And I’m still just laughing at how your character literally ran around Elysium in wolf form and actually thought, “Well, they should know the truth about me,” in a game where the whole point is nobody should know the truth about you, because it’s the funniest part of the deflection and minimization picture. You seem to lack the self-awareness that maybe part of the equation leading to your expulsion is that you made some truly unhinged IC/OOC decisions.
Yeah, there’s no One True Way to play any TTRPG even if there’s several ways that will make the game devs have a fucking anyeurism, how you have fun is how you decide to have fun. But when you’re playing on a MUSH you do need to know how to read and fulfill the social contract, man, else you find yourself defending yourself all I’M SORRY, I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA all over again.
When you said you revealed yourself from the jump because “they’ll find out eventually” I can only imagine that it came off to the average player like ‘I know how these systems work, but I’m going to ignore them because I want my character to be Special and Transparent on my own schedule, fuck a lot of narrative consequences or a dramatic reveal that feels earned THERE ARE TWO WOLVES INSIDE ME. ONE WANTS TO SERVE GAIA AND THE OTHER WATNS TO DRINK BLOOD’. And even if that wasn’t your intent, that’s the inevitable impact. Secrecy, deception, and political maneuvering are central mechanics of Vampire, and when you just fursuit all over Elysium because they were going to find out about the furpiles eventually anyway, like, … I mean shit dude it’s not a relatable or reasonable first impression.
So then later the choice to icly be like “I choose Gaia”, also from the vampire perspective it’s like –
<hank hill>HHWAT?</hank hill>
What’s a Gaia (says Tommy Toreador IC)??? What do you mean you choose … an obscure goddess of a cult of monsters who kill us on sight? Like okay, I’ll accept Eddie was being an asshat, fair, but seriously there is but ONE reasonable reaction when your fellow Kindred is uncle-tomming for freakish hellbeasts, and that is “what the actual fuck is wrong with you???” and I still can’t get over how like straightfacedly you described the IC situation
Even if I were your buddy OOC, if I were playing Tommy Toreador IC, I’d have to be like “And you’re literally choosing the side of…nnnnnature? Over centuries-old Kindred law? Over the Masquerade? Over my beautifully curated social circle? MY OEUVRE!?!” and treat you like the unhinged crackhead you clearly must be ICly. And it’s just. Reading that was like those bodycam videos where the driver has plowed right through a building and is like WHAT’S THE PROBLEM I WAS JUST TRAVELING

@Cygnus said in Numetal/Retromux:
The merit ‘Supernatural Kinfolk’ means that the developers thought different.
The Supernatural Kinfolk means that the devs gave players toys, a niche connector merit, not a blank check. You’re just quote-mining mechanics. The fact that your character was a vampire kinfolk wasn’t the issue in the first place, just the first domino in the big ass soup of hilarity.
Also, damn, you are triggered as fuck. Maybe go on a walk or something and think about how any of that word vomit you just posted justifies continuous OOC harassment for months on end,
“You’re triggered” is just a lazy ad hominem / tone-policing move that tells me you can’t refute my points so you’re attacking my delivery of them.
and the platforming/defense of problematic sex pests, staff favoritism, and all the other bad shit that has been revealed with receipts about this game. ‘Oh no, your character is a jerk, better make that the entire problem and ignore all the heinous shit staff did on this game!’ - you, basically
Bro, sex pests, staff favoritism, and all the whataboutism - even if/where true, is irrelevant to the fact that it’s hilarious that you walked into Elysium in wolf form like THIS IS WHO I REALLY AM INSIDE, BELLA
Like dude all that shit flinging about staff tomfuckery is a separate issue, I’m just over here saying it’s hilarious you can’t admit that your character was very like, Super Special and you did some shit that was absolutely unhinged ICly like … telling the truth in a game specifically centered around controlling the truth is FUCKING FUNNY

@Cygnus said in Numetal/Retromux:
@LeeRoyBatty Literally who cares? What, do I need to play the same Toreador that’s been apped a thousand times, with an occult bookstore or a bar, who just social RPs all the time about nothing? I play games like this for interesting and unique stories.
By these terms, any character who isn’t a cookie cutter app is a Gary Stu. I didn’t self insert a self-dealized version of myself into this shit, which is my understanding of a Gary Stu/Mary Sue. Generally those are like romance authors who make main characters that are sad, lonely authors who also know kung fu without training, but just want a man/woman to love them, or whatever.
Hahaaha well obviously, you, dude, evidence is in bothering to reply with an army of strawmen like “OH SO BECAUSE I’M NOT PLAYING A COOKIE CUTTER TOREADOR I’M THE PROBLEM? I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA” - bro it’s not a dilemma between either “play a boring cookie-cutter character” or “play my unique snowflake” you can create a character which is both unique and balanced/respectful of the setting. Your character was sure as shit unique alright, but neither balanced nor respectful of the setting. I don’t mean mechanically balanced, I mean like, made with thought towards how your character was going to integrate into the themes of a VTM game.
Nobody said you can’t be creative. The critique is that your proprietary blend of Kinfolk + Gangrel + werewolf rites + Gifts is batshit nonsense that doesn’t belong in a Vampire game. That’s not ‘cookie cutter vs. unique,’ that’s just you trying to weld two incompatible splats together with a coathanger and a lighter and daring staff to say no.
Gary Stu doesn’t just mean ‘self-insert wish fulfillment’, it also means someone who warps the rules and narrative to make themselves The Specialest Special Boy. And if you still want to say NO I’M NOT A GARY STU BECAUSE TECHNICALLY THE DEFINITION I GOT FROM I’MRIGHT DOT COM SAYS THIS SHIT OVER HERE, it doesn’t change the fact that you leveraged the rules to make yourself The Specialest Special Boy. Pretty Unicorn Princess Palpatine trying to tape together a Kinfolk template + vampire template + werewolf powers and still argue it wasn’t special-pleading.
While it’s to a large extent on staff to recognize such an unplayable character cocnept on its face and give you guidance to tell you to play something else, and prior staff didn’t do that - that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a collaborative storytelling game where you share the spotlight and DON’T make yourself The Main Character Chosen One Pretty Unicorn Princess Palpatine Specialest Special Boy out of a general sense of social notdickery in a collaborative creative space because you can do this thing called ‘introspection’ and ‘self-awareness’ by doing things like maybe not fucking sitting around in elysium in wolf form???
Seriously who tf sits around in elysium in wolf form I’m fucking dying - that’s some peak “i’m not like other vampires” energy dude and you didn’t expect that to be reacted to???
Yeah, Gangrel can shift into animals but like - you don’t go padding into Elysium as a giant fuckin’ furry and flop down next to the Harpies like, “sup guys, don’t mind me, I’m just so unique and primal, I WANTED YOU TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT ME”. You also don’t go into elysium with a weapon in general - and you’re making your body into more of a weapon than it is, it’s boundary testing bullshit, like, it makes as much sense as showing up to Elysium with a fucking shotgun strapped to your chest adn being like WELLL YOU KNOW I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT ME

RE: Numetal/Retromux
Dude can we just appreciate how mans is trying to slowly create an Abomination out of scotch tape and silly putty but it’s not a Gary Stu
An abomination not as in my opinion but as in the official term for what you get when you make a werewolf a vampire

RE: Descs and MU History
Over ten years ago, I had a character application that I rejected on the grounds of … being batshit fucking insane, pretty racist, making no sense, and just, making me cringe into my soul. This is the one and only character app that I will make fun of because normally I won’t do this but – but just read it. Just read it. I’m pretty sure I won’t ever find anything more batshit insane.
If you like a good trainwreck I highly recommend making a Dramatic Reading, reading it out loud like typos pronounced in place as-is.
The Tale Of Albino Voodoo Capoeira Blues Legend Jesus:
Lady Light and Lady Dark. Two great Ladys will catch your fall. For they are the ones who catch us all!
Lost in a world of storm. Alone in a world of such sights. I weep the days as they turn like pages in my life. Where is the struggle where is the light? Pouring over fingers like cool water are these wasted footsteps tormenting the years even as death holds shattered glass in hand; the bloody sand falling from this mad skein of time, drawn deeper into your web… What is this word this Love? how does it go again?
1830’s: Birthdate: Oct-31st-1832
Gallows story begins at the close of the 19th century in a small village on the island of Hati. The French mans missionarys had angered the spirits of the natives and it was said a great white panther with the eyes and tongue of a man ‘the white devil’ stalked the jungle. In this time lived an old crone who lived on the edge of the jungle in squaler the hag was said once to have been a beautifull maiden who had been abused as a child by a french plantation owner and that she had lived withered in seculsion ever sense.Some said she was the devils bride. No matter who said what Everyone Native and French was shocked the day the midwife delivered Eluzia’s child for the woman could not be a day under 80. It was said that the child was get on her by the local preist Father Duvaul. by way of a spell or drug.

He was named ‘Thierry Toussaint Valerian’ His mother claimed he was a child of Oshun begot for her through Eluzia to apaise her and the angrey Loa to lead the French men in understanding…
Thierry was ostrasized from his birth… All he ever wanted in life was exceptance. to be loved and belong… and yet everwhere he truned he was hated or feared for his freakishness or ostrasized in jealousy for the disturbing grace and beauty that he showed even in childhood. Thierrys mother made him set and learn the lessons of the Voodoun and he chaffed and rebelled at this learning and not belevieing… But he loved his mother for she alone had showed him kindness…
1848-1854’s
As Thierry grew in age and beauty he began to find his way to the beds of the Frenchmans wives and daughters. using the natural gifts of Oshun even as he neglected his lessons and his mothers warnings…Oshun grew angrey and the storm of the loa’s wraith grew Eluzia tried to warn her idolent child and apaise the angrey Loa… Meanwhile Thierry burned with a sarrow and a cold rage that soon drew the attention of Oya to Oshuns perfect child. Oya began to covet Oshuns prize and there war for him raged around the Unaware thierry. Eluzia fearing for her child tried to save him… but alas she could not
he would not listen…
so she performed ancent rites to try and apease her enraged Rider to sooth her. Oya grew in anger and led the French Preist Duvaul To find the Old woman… She was drug from her home the rite unfinished and burned before the villiage for devil worship. When Thierry found out he was stricken mad with greif While he had despratly sought to find love to fill the void of death in his belly the only one who had ever shown him love died.
Thierry in a rage Oya murrering encoruagingly in his ear went beserk and slew the Preist Father Duvaul still unkowning that he was his father. He called apone the Gifts of Oshun unknowing and seduced the Nun who tuaght the children of the village there lessions. Oshun was horrfied at this miss use of her gifts that she recoiled leaving Thierry in disgust she drew away from her son. And again Thierry felt love he had not known untell it was gone and as it pulled from him his heart broke. His senses coming awake to feel the spirits and the world around him abandoned alone he wept… But Oya was there his cold lover she was in the sarrow the hate the rage and the dead ach of his stomach and she wraped her dark love about him claiming him as her own even as Oshun looked away weeping for the mistakes of her child.
Thierry was found and lynched draged to an old tree at the edge of the jungle He was hung from a noose left to strangle to death. But oya coveted her prize and filling him wraping about him would not alow her lover the rest of death. and in days when the already rotted rope broke and the weak Thierry crawled back to his village he found the wrath of his new lover proceeding him for there every man woman and child had died of a wasting plague. Now calling himself Gallows He performed the rites for the dead and left never to return quickly fleeing Hati…
1855
Durring his attempt to escape Haiti Gallows was pressed into a slave gang and shiped to the America’s where he was sold to a plantation on the Gorgia Coast. Here he traded his Knowlege of Voodoo and potions and Medicine to learn the fighting dances of Capoiera by night working hard in the field by day.It was not long before Oshun turned back to her child lover in forgiveness only as the Loa of love can. Only to find him taken by Oya and so begain again there war over him… Catching Gallows up in it like the light side and dark side of the moon. Soft and searching for love. Dark and full of sarrow and the rage of the dead… as they wared for his nature. Over the years Gallows grew wise in the Ways of the Hogoun searching for peace for Balance The love he has lost when Oshun pulled from him… Seeking to fill the void of death in his belly…"1860 oct 31st embrace date
One night on his birthday after his inication as a full houngon He had a vision and from his lips came these words “Lady light and lady dark… two great ladys will catch your fall. for they are the ones who catch us all” and he could feel them waring about him and through him. When Gallows awoke He was alone with The Shadowman, the vampire explained to Gallows that the Loa had lead Him to Gallows and Baron Samedi himself offered Gallows a way out of the war for his soul between Oshun and Oya… Gallows a fool was all to quick to agree…21:13 Anthony Kazlauskas
He still remembers little of that night other then the ringing of the Shovel and the pain in his head…1860 nov 1st the day of the dead
Slowly he crawled and clawed his way from the cold dead womb of the earth, Baron Samedi was now his Father and Oya had gone from Lover to mother of the still born thing he had become… Oshun in this time turned away though she would come again in the future as lover… the cycle of mystical incest comming full circle Gallows crawled from the dead earth into the waiting embrace of his Sire and his Pack The Circle of Dieing Embers.
1860 - 1880
Gallows spent the next twenty years running with the Circle of Dieing Embers learning from his Sire and Pack and aposing The Camarilla backed Soldiers of the South with the comming of the Civil war. It was in that time that Gallows killed his first of many Camarilla, working up and down the east coast they worked to free slaves and recruit the strongest for the sabbat, fighting slavery at every turn. It was at this time that Gallows established his core values, Loyalty above all else and Freedom was every mans right so long as He was willing to Fight for it!Little did Gallows know in those days that Shadowman was a Bahari and that he was teaching Gallows the ways of the Gardener.
1880- 1900’s
Gallows spent the close of the 1800’s Working on a smuggling and pirate ship working the coastline While is sire was traveling. Gallows spent much of this time developing his own occult abilitiy and begining experimentation with animals. He also developed a love for music enjoying thw jaunty songs of the sailors life.1900’s
The Shadow Man returns and takes Gallows to Miami with the comming of the railroad. Gallows begins establishing himself with the other blacks comming into Miami for work, he establishes himself as a powerful Hougan and a contact for certian smugling operations run off the coast his Mentor takes control of the smuggling enterprise with a partner and they upgrade to steamship power.Galows spend the next twenty years getting established into Miami.
1920’s
The comming of prohibition is a Godsend for Shadow Man and he directs Gallows in working on building the backbone of a whiskey distribution network smuggling it in from stills in the everglades and running it through miami to several distribution points. At this time Shadow Man is in talks with those string pullers behind various alcholic crime orginizations around the country. Gallows continues to be prominate in the Voodoo and Capoeria cultures as well as the criminal underworld and is becomming something of a local ledgend working hand in hand with Clan Nosferatus spys and scouts.1926
when the hurrican sweeps through it destroies SHadow Man and Gallows infratstructure and shadowman deems the dip in population dosnt bode well. Circle of Dieing Embers splits up and Shadow Man moves there operation to Chicago where Shadowman facilitates Gallows aliance with the leaders of the Latin Kings.1930
Gallows working successfuly with the Latin kings as a consualtant makes a name for himself as The hanged Man, he continues to help the latin kings in Chicago through the time of the depression. He distinguishes himself so much so that he is offered a place within Paricia Elect dispite not having been a full Latin King himself.mid 1930’s / 1940’s
Gallows continues to runs with Paricia’s elect Working his way up the ladder without his sires aid the slow hard way but earning respect at each step and getting there through hardwork reather then relying on his fine skills of manipulation. it is durring this time that Gallows establishes himself as a Blues ledgend, rumour spreads that he was taught how to play the guitar by the devil at the crossroads. He continues to become a powerful Houngan and the ledgend of the Hanged Man grows doing nothing to discourage his reputation of mystery within the musical community of Chicago. Soon its time to move on.
Late 1940’s Early 1950’s
Gallows returns with some of Paricia’s Elect and some of the Latin kings to expand back into Miami… Gallows quickly establishes himself in the local black community as it clashes with the post war Cubans. He is often a calm voice in mediating due to his status with the Latin Kings. He quickly rises to promiance in the Shadows of the Voodon and Capoeria community. Returning to his old role of smuglar and criminal this time in moving drugs and and military surplus. Once again the ledgend of the Hanged Man grows… and the Sabbats criminal enterprises prosper from his contribution it is durring this time that Gallows makes Aces aquaintance and she soon comes to work for him, he once again begins making deals with Clan Nosferatu and forging a closer relationship."1960’s
Gallows hands are greatly tied by the operations of The Settiets most of his resources and time is spent maintaining his Connection to the Voodoo Community and keeping the Settitets out of it, THere clan is a constant thorn in his side and foil his criminal enterprises repetedly its all he can do this decade to hold out… He calls constantly for more sabbat help it is in this time that Gallows first begins using highly trained and ghouled gaurd animals. He begins breeding several blood lines of gaurd dogs and alley cats working closely with Clan nosferatu he gains there respect and a right to squat in the sewers eventualy being trusted with the secret of how to make a spawning pool he uses his alley cats as additional spys and scouts sharing any imformation they garner freely with the nosferatu.1960s

He meets Cynder and they begin talking about forming a Pack.Shadow Man comes to Gallows and tells him it is his time to join the Loa he gives Gallows his bronze choker and in an elaborate ritual gives his unlife to the fire. Gallows watches in dispair as his sire destroyies himself. It isnt till the next night that He hears the voice of Shadow Man speaking to him. His Mentor had successfuly converted himself to that of Spirit and remains with his Childe to teach and mentor him. Gallows now pays omage to Shadow Man as one of the Loa he worships.
1970’s
cocain from Columbia is starting to come in and its the 70s drugs are the new economy! Gallows is granted leave to start his own pack and starts recruiting as more sabbat move into the city in the late 70’s The Ledgend of the Hanged Man continues…it is now beleived to be a hereditary Position or the Tittle of a Kingpin being passed down. Gallows and his newly formed pack help the Columbians to know the name and fear it. He begins setting himself up to corner the cocain market in Maiam Ace is recruited to the pack to run muscle and the smuggling infrastructure. They recruit there first Motorcycle clubs at Aces recommendation.
1980’s
Drugs Drugs Drugs! this is a good decade for Gallows cocain is HOT and Voodoo and Capoeria has caught the media’s eye with a flavour of mystery and fear that Gallows and his pack use to there advantage helping to carve out larger and larger shares of the criminal market expanding into guns and military hardware and weapon smuggling they become the major weapons distributer for many gangs up and down the east coast. The pack working to blight the Setetites eye at every turn.He continues to develop his finess with various animal companions and spending time experimenting with designer drugs and weapons designs. he takes his knowledge of chemistry and begins developing explosives and improvised explosive devices.
1990’s
this was not the best decade for Gallows and his pack. he turned more inward into the world of Sabbat and Kindred politics and his growing occult influence, he was distracted from worldly concerns… while he wasnt looking the damnd setitties stole the control of the Local Drug scene from him. And he lost his hold on cocain with the shift from the columbians. It was only with a reality check in the late 90’s that he was able to work with his pack to salvage there weapons trade and expand into the explosives and demolitions market they had only toyed with in the past. They expand there occult influence. All the drug trade but a few meth labs are abandoned…the pack keeps a small hand in meth and designer drugs but has definately shiftered there base to weapons.
2000’s
early two thousands was spent partly nomadic recruiting for his pack to bring in freash young blood with new skills and a new look at old buisness. and expanding contacts and sellers for there growing gun trade. As for drugs he began bringing in his own chemists to try and establish a select niche in the designer drug trade designing now rether then distributing and cashin on the growing popularity of Crystal Meth. Their Continuing drive to build connections for gun smuggling around the country expands to making connections in several more motorcycle clubs.2010 to current
Possing as the lattest succesor to the Tittle of the Hanged Man he is moved more into the background with his pack operating through human and ghoul agents. The Hanged Man tries to touch little directly in the mortal criminal world. Though he remains a prominate and feared Hougan within the Voodoo community known for his possessed animal packs said to be ridden by the Orsha themselves. He spends his current time supporting the Sabbat and helping to strengthen The local Sabbat aginst the infusion of Camarilla and maintain his weapons trade and work with research into new drug development. Currently his chemists are working with a variant of a drug that causes mortals to frenzy and take on the popular traits of horror movie zombies… high pain thresshold flesh craving oral fixated and delusions of canabalisim and dulling of whits while increasing rage… he belives such a drug can be used to cause mass chaos and disaray in camarilla cities. Most if the packs methlabs have been closed down at this point and have been coverted to explosives labs. Smuggling continues with a bent toward religious and occult objects. The Pack specializies in Occult influence, Weapons and Explosive manifacture and distribution, Religious/Occult Artifact smuggling and Hit and Fade Merc tactics for the Sabbat. -
RE: Seeking blind or vision-impaired players
@SleepyGrump While I am not a blind user I am familiar with programming with blind and V/I users in mind (for apps) and I do want to throw something down here.
Screen readers can be configured to ignore certain combinations of characters so that you don’t have to listen to, you know, “PLUS EQUALS PLUS EQUALS PLUS EQUALS” when you look at a room and the game is set up to have its room name format all
+=+=+=+=+=+=| The Big Dick Saloon | +=+=+=+=+=+=
But you still have to configure it to do that so getting used to a new MUSH theoretically would require you to make adjustments to add to the list of “repeating characters to ignore” (I’ve never spoken to a blind MUSH user, I am basing this off of my familiarity as an SWE making an app accessible).
Therefore, you may want to put an option available to your players to make a
@nameformat
or its equivalent simply be the name of the room you’re in.There’s some commands that are nice to include for people:
- A command that lists out a specific stat, like “+stat strength” so we don’t have to listen to a whole shitload of entries.
- A command that only shows the latest comment on a +job so that you don’t have to tab through and/or listen to the whole fukken job.
- A command that lists out a specific sheet section in case you need to be reminded of something not as granular as a single stat but also don’t want to listen to the whole sheet.
- A flag or attribute to put on yourself that instructs the MUSH to be brief with its room descriptions. In Penn, this is terse:
Flag: TERSE (players, things) When an object is set TERSE, it does not see the descriptions, or success and failure messages in rooms. This is a useful flag if you're on a slow connection or you're moving through a familiar area and don't want to see tons of text.
So that when you’re cruisin’, you don’t have to listen to a room description over and over. You can still see descriptions, they’re just not dropped in your lap when you navigate, whether that’s literally cruising the map, or navigating through the backscroll to re-listen. I don’t want to have to shift tab 5 billion times through the map exploration I did to catch up to something I want to re-read.

You also want to steer clear of using color as your only means of conveying information. For example, think of a WHO list where there’s use of color to convey whether someone is approved, not approved, idle, or whatever. Find a secondary way to convey information that isn’t color-based.You want to try to make sure your website is as accessible as possible as well. I honestly am certain my website is not accessible
but if you’re interested I can rant at you about WCAG compliance.
At the bare minimum -
- Do not style your website in px, use rem, for fucking everything, so if somebody has to increase the text size through their browser (V/I doesn’t always mean "use a screen reader) the website scales proportionally.
- Make sure your colors in your website meet a contrast ratio requirement for the visually impaired and just people whose eyes aren’t what they used to be because 40 hit them like a freight train.
If it’s text to be read, the contrast ratio should be 4.5 to 1 or greater. If it’s an interactive element, like a checkbox, the contrast ratio should be 3 to 1 or greater.
The way you’d want to do this is by taking the CSS values you want to use over to a color contrast checker like WebAim.
