@dvoraen Perhaps. But Stat sounds similar to Cat.

then even if I DON’T have a rule explicitly against it, it should largely be fine to say: ‘no, bad player, no biscuit’.

While naturally you can do basically whatever you like on your game, perhaps the first instance should be a “oh I should make this a policy from now on” moment instead of an instant boot.

To be fair to the dude, all he seems to do is creep on or disappoint women so it’s no wonder he can’t keep the names straight.

At this point, it should be pretty simple for the staff of a game to create a Google Drive folder or something equivalent to hold the PDFs in a fashion that each character’s sheet can only be accessed by the player of the character and the staff of the game.

Everyone has to be able to see the stats if you’re just doing pdfs; otherwise, how do they know you’re rolling right? “Yes, I totally have five dots in every attribute and skill. You can’t see the pdf, but it’s totally there.”

At this point in the hobby, if I don’t trust the other players on the game I’m on, I’m unlikely to give it much importance. Like, are we not past lying about stats? FFS.

Exactly. You manipulate or rely on corrupt staff to give you the stats you want. This isn’t third grade.

@EyeofProvidence You had me all excited that @IoleRae had returned, but no you’re replying to a four year old post instead.

I need the restriction of a system, and even then I get paralysed by choice more often than I’d care to reflect on. If I can be anything, I end up being nothing.

I feel, and this is just as much a vibe-based thing as the rest of our classification journey, that the MUD/MUSH/RPI division is more about the community in and around a game than the game itself. Each different category is more about how one approaches the art of playing a game than anything tangible in terms of code. A MUDder, an RPI afficionado, and a MUSH ruiner would see a game like Arx, for instance, and have three different approaches to playing it that likely all work to some extent while the game itself doesn’t change.

There was another one after that talked about it closing, then about the headwiz saying he got a lot of feedback not to close

I wonder if this would be more the case of people not wanting to lose the option to play there again, particularly given it doesn’t cost them anything to maintain, but don’t have the time or actual interest to play there. Like a kind of “you can’t close my favourite bar that I haven’t been to in years, what if I want that gallon of ‘Wicked Jizz’ cocktail for five bucks like I had when I was 21?”

@Tez said in Hello, Survey, and Looking for Recs:

Now, questions for us:

The largest sentiment gap is by preferred game style – MUD fans average 3.53 while MUSH fans average 2.85 (49.2% vs 19.5% happy) (Table 10, Figure 10).

Why so unhappy, fam?

We have WoD. MUDders don’t. >_>

With the super incest magic family?

You know, if I had a dollar for every time there was a super incest magic family in our RP spaces…

@RedJellyBean If it’s the person I’m thinking of, I believe so. The so-called “only officially sanctioned A Song of Ice and Fire MU.” I’m likely paraphrasing, but you get the gist of the smugness.

@Prototart Careful, you’ll summon her. Like a Ghost of MUing Past.
