i’m not really sure what staff is supposed to do, though.
Their best.
As callous as it may sound, it’s not future staff’s responsibility to make up for the evils of past staff. They just have to do their best at being decent people and decent staffers.
ETA: They’ll get it wrong, make mistakes, and (hopefully) learn to be better. The same as anyone else. Just do your best, don’t be a dick, and that’s all you can do.

RE: Ares questions!
@catzilla said in Ares questions!:
Does an Ares game need to be connected to a mush/mux/etc?
The Ares game is the mush/mux/etc.
@catzilla said in Ares questions!:
Could everything be done exclusively through the website/portal?
You could probably get away with just not giving the MU details out and getting people using the portal instead.

Back in the reality of the vaguely sane, people manage this unmanagable thing regularly. They use an ancient method called “taking turns.”
One’s milage definitely varies.

RE: RL Peeves
The simpler answer is that food is energy, and energy is a necessity, especially for those whose brains are developing at an alarmingly speedy rate (which isn’t the same as saying it stops developing after this point; that’s not true). Modern food is also just really dang tasty, so it triggers the reward pathways in the brain more readily.
Add to this a diminished level of responsibility, since food acquisition is someone else’s job, and “take food, feel good” is the primary reason.

That phrase has a very different meaning in Australia.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
Yeah, I’ve definitely softened my stance on historical “accuracy” these days - especially given most games are going down the history-inspired fantasy world route most of the time.
But there’s a certain point at which progressiveness makes a setting not the setting you’re claiming. For example, it’s hard to play a rebellious suffragette in a 1910-set game if everyone’s already equal.
But it’s absolutely a choice, and usually one that is about exploring those themes rather than having an incidental relationship to them.

@Alveraxus said in MU Peeves Thread:
it does give flexibility for things like radical IC world changes to support the vision that you have
That has to be one of my least favourite parts of all this nonsense Beta-maxing. Obviously, it’s not my game, not my vision, and YMMV, but if you’re going to radically change the IC world to match your “vision,” you should do that before you open, not when people are actively playing your game for months.

So most Changelings who have kids end up quickly becoming Grumps
Literally the most accurate thing any WoD book has ever suggested.
