Obviously, receipts are handy but they’re not a requirement. And I’d (speaking only for myself, though with a polite nod in the direction of that Admin tag) rather not make posting every shred of evidence possible the expectation here.

@Jumpscare said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

That means that since the birth of BMD, no other game has negatively affected MU* players as broadly or as painfully as Star Wars: Age of Alliances.

A board of women, queers, and allies reacting strongly against sexual misconduct and anti-reporting prejudice… Isn’t that how we started in the first place?

For posterity, I present thus:

Tracy is a man and he is a very hansome and manly man.He likes women a lot and women like him too but men think he is compitishion.He has very long brown shiny hair everywhere and a little blue eyes that are mostly green but very hansome anywya.You can tell a lot of things from his eyes.He has a very big bulge in his jeans where the dick would be and it is not a sock because it makes all women almost orgasm with desire.Behind him is a very firm muscled ass that makes you want to slap it and play with it in lots of ways but only if your a women.If you are a man you will die if you touch it because Tracy is strong and very not Gay.If you are a women he winks and smiles at you and thinks you have a nice personality.If you are a man again he frowns at you and it makes you not hit on him or on any women when hes here.He likes lots of women very much and likes very few men but not as boyfriends.And he has a shitr which is nice and blue.I mean shirt sorry.

From what I’ve seen, you are a people with boundless empathy, but you choose who to direct that towards.

Not to really engage in the debate, here, but that’s literally the same as everyone else.

Me. I’m a good thing about mushing.

And this isn’t a throw away joke, or an ego thing, or whatever. But I’ve finally been able to arrive at the conclusion that yes, my RP is good. My events are good. My being present on a game is good. And I’m finally free to feel that I am good enough.

So there. Me. I’m a good thing about mushing.

@Warma-Sheen said in Los Angeles 2043: A Blade Runner MUSH - Discussion:

Just because you can open a game on your own doesn’t mean you should.

You should. It might last, it might not, but at least stuff’s being made even for a moment.

@GF We’re for taco Tuesdays, no-pants Fridays, and the violent and utter overthrow of the capitalistic, white-supremacist patriarchy. And tea.

@CuriousGamer said in Macha Awareness (And Unappreciation) thread:

@Tez There seems to be a few bad actor threads now, would it make sense to put them into their own ‘Bad Actor’ kind of topic at this point? I know there’s been a couple discussions of others in the not too distant past as well.

No. We don’t need a whole section of the forum devoted to talking shit about specific people.

@untitled said in Underage Players:

because I’d be unhappy if I found out my kids were

That right there is the ultimate point. Policing children is the job of the parent, not any game they would seek to join.

Establish rules that state, outright, that the game is for adults, will contain adult themes, etc. If it is revealed from a trustworthy source that there is an underage person, remove them. That is all you can do.

These days, children on these kinds of games are very much the exception. There’s a high barrier to entry and far more free-to-play games around than there were in the early years when a lot of us first started. So don’t stress over it too much.

@Evilgrayson Besides, there’s only one true version of Robin Hood’s story.

Long-serving US Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein dies age 90

@junipersky said in Game-side Logging and Player Protection:

Yes, I know many clients come with loggers

While that’s true, they’re also just files that can be edited, not solid.

Though I’ve not had the need to use it as yet, the Ares feature of “send this shit to staff so they can deal with it” (I’m paraphrasing) really is the gold standard as far as I’m concerned.

I don’t know how it works down at the nuts and bolts, but I don’t think it logs everything until it’s told to. @Faraday would have to ELI5 it, though.

I heard you liked BG3 so we put some BG3 in your D&D

Oh god, they buffed that optional Act III boss fight.

Raphael, and extra buffed him on Tactician. NO MORE DEALS, IT’S OVER.

That said, there was what you can call a preponderance of evidence

Everything I ran through an AI detector pinged as more than a light edit.

Not to dismiss your concerns, but AI detectors are notoriously inaccurate at the moment.

AFAIK, they’re inaccurate in the other direction, though.

It’s definitely both ways, though they’re likely being refined as we speak. At least the ones universities are using to detect cheating.

@crawfish said in Baldur’s Gate 3:

I’m finding it’s easier to get along with Astarion as this chaotic bundle of darkness.

There’s actually a reason for this! I can’t find the source right now, but I’ll add it when I find it, BUT the person responsible for much of the Dark Urge content also wrote a fair bit for Astarion (especially during the crunch period), thus there was more opportunity for them to write for the duo - more was planned for the other companions, but time constraints prevented it.
