@labsunlimited Indeed, though my inference was that this “one time account” poster may well be Polk in disguise.

literally my only interaction with him ever was him as Alejandro, it’s the second or third WoD game I’ve been on since I was a teenager, but uh idk how to put this politely but he didn’t come off as someone who knew English as a second or third language the way that does

i have frustrations but most of them that aren’t philosophical seem consequences of getting approved too early and stuff being changed since

the accepted wisdom used to be that you had to have a decent population of the nightclub people to attract the Serious Stuff people but there are like 10 MUers left so idk if that still holds true

all super-goths, all the time

first off, they’re called street samurai, ok

all super-goths, all the time

@Prototart So in this Sailor Moon / oWoD crossover, did the Sailor Scouts turn into different WoD Splats? Was Sailor Moon able to use her transformation to become a Brujah?

So this was years ago, but from what I can remember we used WoD: Combat - I was staff in part because I was one of the only people who had that - and Freak Legion to make monsters, but I don’t remember if there was a lot of actual proper WoD stuff. There should’ve been, tho.

This is easy. You don’t even need Princess: the Hopeful to do it. Mummy: the Curse 2e is where you have all your Immortal flavors of Mortal+… your Blood Bathers, your Imbued, your Reborn…

There was an actual oWoD/Sailor Moon game in the 90s that I briefly staffed on. And then got kicked off of for flipping out, hard, when they didn’t give me Sailor Mercury, prompting someone to actually ask how old I was (I was in the target audience for Sailor Moon)

@Jennkryst said in Games we want, but will almost certainly never have:

@Jumpscare I have, at one point, looked intensely at the Genesys code for Ares, and bought different non-Star Wars Genesys books, including the Android: Shadow of the Beanstalk setting book.

but consider: a Sailor Moon/Mummy crossover MU*

@Juniper said in MU Peeves Thread:

@Warma-Sheen I’m so sick of having to justify my stats. I shouldn’t have to write that my character was a career chef just to beg enough points to make toast. I’ve been told multiple times my character needs more experience for their build but I look at what I’m asking for and my character is in the range of “fucking useless”.

somebody on a WoD game once asked me to justify why my char had Dancing 4

It’s me, I want to play the forever-20-year-old, with a body that isn’t randomly falling apart from too much marching band.

jubilee can’t rollerblade anymore bc her knees are bad

@Juniper said in MU Peeves Thread:

@Pavel lmao. What the fuck kind of game was this.

tis but the poison seed from whence doth spring all ye lords & ladies games

@Pavel said in MU Peeves Thread:

If you go back ten or so years ago, there were definitely places wherein if they discovered you had posted on WORA (or wherever), they would flay you alive, tar you, feather you, fire you into the sea, and then ban you.

it isn’t that this changed it’s just that nobody ever comes to dump things anymore

everybody either silently deals with it until they can’t or just leaves bc they know exposing like even the absolute worst behaviors won’t accomplish anything and literally no one will care who didn’t already

@Jennkryst said in MU Peeves Thread:

Plz let me just submit a log of RP to demonstrate my skills as a writer. Or just assume I am awesome because people glance at applications and go ‘yeah I’m not reading all that, make it shorter’

i was like 8 when i started MUing and they trained me to write those gigantic like marvel handbook style apps and it’s like hardwired into my brain now

i like writing descs tho, it releases dopamine to the part of my brain that downloaded hundreds of Japanese computer paper dolls

@Artemis said in MU Peeves Thread:

@Prototart i could not play them if i wanted to because of this, it’s super ultra lame asf

I seriously hate it so much, like, number one it’s an opportunity to show your ability as a writer (the only times I’ve met somebody w a good desc who was just awful somebody else wrote that for them) and number two, just, that isn’t even true, this isn’t DC in 1980-whatever, there’s like zero consistency between artists? Like Illyana was drawn as a waif, a pinup, and a fitness model by different people all in the same miniseries.

@Jennkryst said in MU Peeves Thread:

Your point stands though because I will desc up as 30A and people will pose like the character has massive mommy milkers, even when my poses are like ‘actually… no’ Which means they’re not paying attention to what is happening so why am I there again?

people do not understand boobs like at all, i have seen “the size of her head” and it’s a D

@RightMeow said in MU Peeves Thread:

I still stand by your sexy factor, etc is less PB and more RP. Sure, sure your PB can be great or whatever, but if you can build a story with me? Chef’s kiss.

I seriously can’t put into words how much I hate the comic game trend of not even bothering to write a desc at all bc “everyone knows what they look like

@renaveleigh said in MU Peeves Thread:

I don’t want to ascribe malice, and, I don’t, but this is not a well-reasoned policy at all.

in the posts people made about ~continuity~ and rosters and inherited characters what i think maybe got missed about the place in question is that it’s literally a superhero fuck MUX that when i looked at it had a continuity that was literally “someone’s continuity is what they say it is, batman can be 20 and Nightwing can be 30”

it’s hard not to ascribe malice when it’s a place literally built on fucking and then sharing logs of your fucking that decided one particular kind of body was unacceptable for fucking unless it was completely hidden and unacknowledged

@GF said in MU Peeves Thread:

@Prototart I can think of two off the top of my head. One is a hero, and one is Batgirl’s normie roommate, so I’ll assume no one is knocking players down in a rush to play her.

the only trans char either of us had ever seen played is Sera, Angela’s girlfriend who hasn’t appeared in, like, a decade

the entire thing is dumb and the whole “we hear you. you are valid. here are the six characters you can play.” makes it even dumber

@renaveleigh said in MU Peeves Thread:

Trans characters are in theory appable, but given how few such characters there are, it’s a very tenuous theory.

we actually looked btw there’s one who we’ve ever seen played anywhere ever and half of them are characters who showed up once in one of the yearly Pride specials

@Jennkryst said in MU Peeves Thread:

@Twinkle Oh nobody was banned for this (unless I missed something), they were not allowed to make permanently Futa Power Girl.

Wonder Woman was set unapproved for a while

@bored

you are fucking delusional

@bored said in MU Peeves Thread:

She power-gamed on Maxima and Knockout. She was sexually aggressive in the OOC room, to me and to other people I know.

I didn’t play Maxima, shithead, and I definitely didn’t flirt with you.

And not counting like a day on B&B, I am not and have never been Power Girl anywhere at all ever. I don’t play on this game! Nobody told me ‘no’ to anything! A friend of mine was hurt by something and I thought it was bullshit and I posted about it.
