My cats: Kitty and Other Kitty.

@Cobalt I just keep apping in widowers so I can go directly to the grieving process.

I don’t post much, I’ll grant, although in this case, it’s about someone whom I admired much. Not a deep nor broad body of work, just a simple actor who was a great friend to the fans, played a lovable goofball in one of his major roles, and did not behave badly. One of my favorite go-to “comfort movies” is now a much less strong place for that loss. My heart grieves with his family and friends.

RIP, Flyboy - Dawn of the Dead, 1978

I’d love to see a log of all the times where he did all the other abusive, manipulative, and unethical shit and see the logs of her explaining over and over why she’s doing nothing at all

Oh, I have about… nineteen or so logged conversations which may have some value, then. Two of them spring to mind immediately, wherein Sundance did a small floor-show for my benefit, because I misread the clear, crisp wording of Polk after a line of inquiry was opened. Because, y’know, literacy am hard, apparently.

Silly ol’ me, just wholly misunderstanding my native language again.

A few other reasons why smoking is handy for stakeouts:

• Nicotine works as a stimulant that’s easier to maintain than coffee, with fewer trips to the bathroom needed
• It works to keep hunger pangs to a minimum, which means even fewer bathroom trips and support mechanics for long hours
• By covering the “cherry” you can cut the visual profile down to nearly nothing, although the smell is sometimes a problem
• Most smokers ignore other smokers unless they need a light
• You can use a cigarette balanced between two fingers lengthwise to keep yourself awake; the cigarette, upon burning down, scorches into the meat of the finger and jolts someone awake
• It’s an easy reason to hang out by loading docks, security doors, and major entryways, while spare-changing will draw unwanted attention

To name a few reasons of the many.

@somasatori Can’t wait to see The Reach and Fallcoast go at it. Miami being stuck in CG never finishing…

What are you doing, stepMU*?

@Meg It’s difficult to look suave in a monkey-shit fight.

@somasatori
Would you be referring to the ghost now known as “Ooootoo”?

While I had some stumbling blocks in chargen, that’s mostly on me; it’s a pretty sweet design, although I’m used to very different systems - not being tied intrinsically to the wiki, for example, which I think is pretty damned cool.

So far, after about a two hour, thirty-minute process, I came up with a good concept and was able to touch base with a responsive, friendly, and approachable Staffer (hi, Crow!) and a fellow player whom I am very happy to see again, which is some positive buzz, by my own metrics.

8/10, am considering an alt already.

How long until “to Polk” becomes a new descriptive term?

Asking for an online community.

@sao After a dialogue with said staffer, whom I found to be a very helpful and thorough assistant throughout the process, I am certain the oversight will be addressed. The continued hate I’m getting is also speaking a lot about how much, or little, people want any amount of friction generated, which is somewhat coloring my concerns, as well.

@Faraday
…yes, because all MU* are rated by Michelin star ratings.
I said “minus one” from its rating, which is five, thus far. It’s a great place. Bad documentation, eh, maybe not such a thrilling attraction.

@Pavel
Noted.

@Pavel
Weird.
So, following my link, uh… any “different” outcome, maybe?

https://cityofglass.aresmush.com/help/building_tutorial
CTL-F results of “admin”: 2.
Any mentions made of “required admin powers or roles”? No.

Hm.
Sorry, how did I arrive at this link? Let’s examine.

@Pavel The phrase used was “lack of clarity”.

It’s not a case of “you didn’t use form J-11, the orange one” it’s a question of “we use telepathic turtles, not paperwork”. That’s not a lack of clarity. Then someone else adds on that I’m apparently illiterate, saying that the help file I’m looking at is most definitely not saying what they’re seeing - I provide a link to them, suddenly I’m being rude.

Of course, them not citing their source, that’s… uh. Well, let’s focus on six people telling me I’m wrong, so I can be wrong six times in a row, okay?

I said the documentation wasn’t clear. It’s not clear. The documentation I said didn’t contain any mention of admin being required did not make mention of admin being required. Those aren’t opinions. They’re details.

@Snackness The intention wasn’t to be rude; it’s to try to make it, if possible, something funny. It’s easier to make it a joke than an insult if I plan to stay, which I do. Weird as it sounds, I like the place. What I don’t like is bad documentation; it’s used to create problems for players much easier than it’s ever addressed - looking at you, The Reach, yes, I am. When players are worth those extra five minutes’ time, we feel we’re more valued. When they’re not, that’s not often a great sign. Hence, a tone of concern was also a feature.

Minus one Michelin star for “unclear help file” work.

If a system is supposed to work a specific way, say it is supposed to work that way. If it isn’t, update a file or something, maybe?
