    • RE: Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo

      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.

    • RE: Real life happy

      Client: Well, I’m gay.
      Me: Mhm…
      Client: And… that’s okay?
      Me: slow swivel in chair to look at giant Progress Pride Flag on my wall
      Me: slow swivel in chair to look back at client
      Client: happy tears

      Being a client’s safe space to come out is a gift that keeps on giving.

    • RE: What's up with Spellbound?

      I love that. More gamerunning folk should feel… allowed, for lack of a better term, to do this sort of thing.

      @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?

    • Descs and MU History

      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.

      @hobos said in Bannings:

      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.

      So obviously it’s a very dark time, horrid things incoming and so forth…

      But did anyone actually have The Onion buying Infowars on their 2024 bingo cards?

    • RE: Good things in Mushing

      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.

      Not to be that guy but I wonder whether this would not be better placed in the Game Gab section rather than the advertising section.

    • RE: Mu* and history and time

      @Faraday Oh yeah, totally not unusual prices for the time. The main difference between now and then? I’d be the one paying this time.

    • RE: Mu* and history and time

      From what I have managed to glean cheque and money order were popular, but some services also accepted AMEX and VISA after a time (Toth, 2011, Section 63). Though Mostellor (1999) seems to suggest that services like CompuServe would tack on the hourly fee as part of the user’s subscription in some way, though I could be misreading.

      Adjusted for inflation those prices are… ridiculous. Gemstone III during peak hours would be ~$46USD/hr and British Legends(MUD1) would be ~$33USD/hr. I love you, Faraday, but I’m not paying you over five hundred bucks a month for a casual twenty hours of pretendy funtimes.

    • RE: Mu* and history and time

      @Faraday Cheque or money order (or cash) sent through the mail, most likely. Along with a unique identifier, like a username or account number.

      You either paid up front for a set number of hours or were billed after the fact for usage.

      I don’t know if it applies to the early MUs but I know some services also billed through one’s ISP.
      I think I still owe my dad a hundred bucks or so from that period…

    • RE: Filtering player temperament through game design

      @L.-B.-Heuschkel Is there a way to filter these people out purely through game design or community design, or is it a case of finding them and plucking them out like stray hairs with the tweezers of fuckoffitude?
