    • RE: MU Peeves Thread

      Just a little grumbling, allow me to vent a bit.

      I’m just tired and sad that since I’m not in the same timezone as most MUers, it really impacts on my ability to enjoy my hobby because no-one is around. I enjoy the collaborative, interactive nature of MUing. I like how anonymous and throwaway MU*ing is.

      I understand, I have a job like most people and I’m only around in the evening too. No-one I know rl wants to MU* so I can’t recruit people who are available when I’m available.

      I am proactive - I run prps, I try to make rp links and throw out rp hooks. It just bums me out that there is rarely anyone around to do the things I have planned with. I try to set things up only for them to fizzle out or never get off the ground because I can’t schedule with other players.

      I can’t get involved in prps or MU* plot because I’m not around when prps or staff run plots take place. I’d love to make certain character types, but since the group I’d be involved with aren’t on when I’m on, there would be no point. At times I just wonder why I bother with my hobby at all. I really don’t know what the solution is. I don’t think there’s any sci-fi Ares-style MU*s that support async rp?

    • RE: Historical Games Round 75

      In a world where Eldritch horrors exist, reality is so unlinked to our actual reality that there is no need for racism, sexism, homophobia etc. All of the usual rules and logic that apply to our world (from physics to how society operates) have been thoroughly broken.

      Andor has made me want to dust off my FFG books and run Age of Rebellion again.

      @Artemis Your peeve doesn’t have to be shared by multiple people to be valid. 🙂

      @Wizz You should frame it, it’s fantastic.

      ^ This. It’s a good picture.

      This is why I like Ares (and will probably never play on a non-Ares game again). It’s so much more inclusive for people who can’t log on for solid 3-4 hours every night or a couple of nights a week.

      I’d love an Andor-themed or post-RoTJ game.

    • RE: Prospective Star Wars

      I just wanna punch space Nazis in the freakin face.

      ETA to be helpful: @SpaceKhomeini I’ve run FFG (EoTE and AoR) as a TTRPG. I LIKE FFG SW. I’m not the best online (or rl) GM but I’m available to run scenes if you give me story beats. I’m in Europe so would only be able to do disjointed or async scenes, so if that’s a no-go for you then no worries.

    • RE: On the utility of Logs, Receipts, and Proof

      To add to what @KarmaBum is saying, speaking personally, what creates an atmosphere of trust is how people communicate at all times. Some people might not like it, but I prefer it when staff (or players I’m contacting for the first time) are friendly but polite with everyone publically.

      Reminds me of the time someone accused me of causing their husband to threaten divorce (because the player spent too much time MU*ing, I think?) because I had to quit a scene before we started due to rl on my side.

      I was like, well, that’s an unfortunate situation but that is not on me.

      @Testament I’m only replying to say that HSpace is the worst.

      It’s so bad it justifies repeating someone’s point.

      I’m just really into Chet Baker at the moment. Not his vocal tracks, I find them a bit bland, but the instrumental ones are great.

      I need to stop planning rp and plots and not following through. Or not planning plots until I’ve finished all the plots I’ve got going.

    • RE: When to Include Other Characters' Background

      I’d love it if someone read the background of one of my characters.

      I love running plots around backgrounds and exploring obstacles players want their chars to face.

      Ultimately players need to put themselves out there and Be The Change They Want To See ™.

      Nothing doing? Run something. People will probably turn up. If they don’t, you’ve found a threshold for what the community enjoys and you can decide whether it’s the community for you or not.

    • RE: RL Peeves

      Just work stuff. My life would be less stressful if people followed processes and behaved with some agency.

      Another team needed something to happen like YESTERDAY several weeks ago and needed my input. So I do my thing and tell them. Crickets for weeks. Reader, they’re still chasing their tales on this and acting confused about something very simple.
