@thrax said in Numetal/Retromux:
When Staff came to speak to her she did not hide, nor keep information from them. The thing I wonder is how can they ban someone for avoiding conflict from someone known to be a problem. Yes she did hide herself, but is that in itsself worth a full gameban?
Hiding yourself from players you have a no contact with in order to RP with them is something I think deserves a gameban, regardless of how open you are with staff.
It really feels like Ganymede has just decided to let Derp drive it into the ground out of some need to avoid losing face from reversing a decision.
Well, I’m reducing my MSB activity to lurking now. Gany just basically said that the only person who needed to be apologized to on MSB for what happened was Derp.
I get two things from reading stuff from this thread.
That I definitely am not the target audience for Lords & Ladies roleplay.
That Arx, even with all of it’s trouble throughout its history, is a pretty good example of ‘doing it right’ in our hobby.
Congrats to all you Arx players and staff for doing cool stuff.
@Trashcan said in AI In Poses:
“I don’t want to RP with GenAI because it’s not very good” is not going to age well as a position.
I think the better position is “I don’t want to RP with GenAI because I’m here to RP with real people.”
@Cygnus said in The 3-Month Players:
Without PVP acting as a failsafe, these players often cause games to fail because no one can stand not being able to meaningfully stand up to the bully.
The failsafe against toxic players should be staff action. Going PVP just because a player is toxic seems toxic in it’s own right.
@Pacha said in Empire Discussion Thread:
My assumption (perhaps false!) is that when opening a game one wants to develop a large and diverse base of players.
I feel like we’re reaching a point where new gamerunners are going to focus more on just running the game they want to run rather than running a game that attracts a large crowd.
Starting a new thread, for a new year.
First up, and this one hit me hard, David Lynch, legendary director of such weirdness as Eraserhead, Twin Peaks, and the original 1980s version of Dune.
Please stop. If you actually care, stop, step away, and come back in a few days or even a week or two. You’re making yourself look bad with each new post.
@somasatori Keep this up and people are going to expect you to start a game. 
@KDraygo said in Web-based CharGen or in-game CharGen:
@MisterBoring Apologies, but because of rising inflation, I have gone completely paperless. You can refer to my geocities site for all the necessary information for my chargen application. Thank you.
Geocities applications must be first processed through the webform on the game’s Tripod site, which will generate a 26 character code. This code must be posted to the game’s Myspace so that staff can process it in the special webform on the game’s hidden Angelfire staff page.
I can add in even more controversy:
I prefer physical paper cgen, mailed via certified letter to the head staff. Background documentation done as a series of IC interview posts on the game’s LiveJournal, and notes for any stats that need justification or explanation in unnamed Pastebins.
I don’t really have a preference between the two.
However, I do really really prefer well documented CharGen.
His opinions on the Bosnian Genocide were a real bad take.
The URL is now owned by a nameless person based in Reykjavik, Iceland.
I think someone said in a thread earlier this month that MSB is 100% dead.
After reading more of this thread, I kind of want to find people to do a group application that I am referring to as “Project: Misery Boat”. The intent is to be the most unsuccessful, tragic group of PCs a game has ever seen. Horrible misfortune will hit them in every major scene they are in. Limbs lost, houses burnt, property stolen, loved ones annihilated by foul magic.Nothing is off limits for the Misery Boat.
@Yam said in Other People:
I was def curious about how often most RPers even consider Other People’s fun.
I’m so worried about other people’s fun and happiness that my therapist wishes I would just be a selfish asshole once a month.
Post your dead famous people here.
@Pavel I think most people aren’t going to shed a tear for him after all the terrible stuff he said in the last 5-7 years of his life.
