I’m looking for a game where it’s not 24/7 slice-of-life RP (coffee shop, hanging out at the mall, park, etc.). I’d love to play somewhere where if I put the time into creating a character and concept that isn’t just a normal person like me in RL, I could actually interact with the world, use my sheet/powers/skills, and do things related to a plot or story.
I’m not opposed to the day to day RP, but I am tired of it being the only thing I find on games.

@Pan Run that content then, nobody is stopping you, even on a slice of life game.
It’s impossible to play on a Mu* anymore for me. Asking for RP and finding RP is such a chore and then when it’s found it’s usually some weird slice-of-life stuff that people want to play, which in a lot of cases isn’t what I’m looking for.
So it’s a constant circle of building PCs, getting amped, trying to find something to do, and failing and just realizing hours/days/weeks/months/whatever of my life has been wasted.
@Polk I hope this carries through to make you a pariah in the hobby.
@L-B-Heuschkel said in Staff Capacity:
@Tez At a guess, it’s a combination of several factors.
One factor is that with Ares games at least, the whole behind-the-curtain operations have become significantly simpler and easier, assuming that you’re not running huge amounts of custom code to be maintained.
Another is probably that by now, we’ve all seen a lot of games go down in flames due to interpersonal fights on staff. Sometimes, it might feel safer to have just a few people.
For us on Keys, the magical number has been three.
Sounds like we need a community project to get a couple of good working WoD plugins (if that’s what it’s called on Ares) going for cWoD 20th, and maybe nWoD 2e. Then games potentially could move to the codebase and thrive?

i’m pretty sure the medical term for this is a “tantrum.”
Also, it sounds like something led to this that isn’t being talked about. The catalyst that made Sundance want to gently let Polk go to be a player without being involved as staff.
@imstillhere said in What Do You Want Out of a MU?:
@Pan You’re always on here complaining that someone hasn’t made specifically what you want, ready for you to show up and enjoy. So run some action? That was always allowed?
If the complaint legitimately is “no one is doing a thing I also won’t do” then, lol.
Thanks for coming into the “What do you want out of a MU” thread to try to crap on my comment. I thought that was reserved for other places in this forum. But I hope this made you feel better about yourself, great work.
@mietze said in Liberation MUSH:
Perhaps the person posting stuff that was obviously from Sundance’s screen that was shared probably in confidence (also an unwise move that real friends should have warned about) thought better of it (hopefully) or was asked by someone else to knock it off?
I hope that’s a lesson learned too, should be easy to figure out who broke confidence.
Oh Roz says its still up, so apparently no to realizing that was a not great thing to do.
She (Sundance) openly shared it all and discussed it all in the game for transparency.
My current peeve, all the games I play seem to be a text version of The Sims.
@BloodAngel said in MU Peeves Thread:
@Pan How so?
The games just seem to become life simulation games with nothing but social events.
@Roz said in Liberation MUSH:
@SuspectHound okay everyone keeps talking about how polk is banned from ALL THE GAMES EVER. what games has he actually been banned from??? i think i only coexisted with him on one game that he’s been gone from for years
I saw him banned from a game called Modern Nights. He was a mage PC, had a huge public meltdown. That was right around the time Liberation was just going to open.
