People will 100% try to impose their will on others even on places where they can’t be killed for doing so. I doubt there’s any meaningful difference.

two of the MUDs i used to play, Ancient Anguish and Bat, are still around and are both more than 30 and that’s kind of nuts

@Raistlin Linda and Elio - who worked with GRR Martin on his world compilation book and the TV Show, have the only author approved MUSH for the Game of Thrones world.

Archive.org may have already captured some of your game’s wiki, but it’s not terribly clever about which bits it records.

Login-only stuff like the old WORA and SWOFA are probably just gone if the one or two people who made captures don’t share them or lost them.

i don’t think anybody even like peripherally involved with WORA MUSHes anymore and last I heard Spider was creeping on Tumblr or something

edit: Im pretty sure at one time there was an actual WORA Wiki but as best i can remember it was deleted by somebody who hostile takeovered the site or something like that?

@Artemis

However, there are reasons that I’m not willing to commit to relationship RP and if I do commit to it, I have an OOC discussion of things I would like to avoid.

Some people get so invested that it’s scary and I prefer to avoid that.

As the photo was deleted and there was no harm.

The harm was that it was taken at all, wtf

@Pavel

but im lazy

@Pavel said in Making MU*s more OOCly Interactive:

Another idea would be to harken back to the 1980s video game scene and include/manufacture the so-called “feelies”—an in character news letter, an actually written (or typed, but with a fancy font) letter from a contact, or similar. Less interactive, but still a neat little novelty that some folks in the TTRPG space use quite effectively.

it’s 2001, and I am updating jubilee’s in-character Livejournal

it’s 2026, and i am suggesting in-character livejournals social media or whatever

@Prototart the Prince Batman soundtrack was the first cassette tape I ever bought for myself with my own allowance

I don’t remember mine but there’s a really good chance it was one of those Cleopatra Records cover CDs.

summerland and electra made me blind

I started MU*ing in elementary school but I was 100% raised wrong.

I still want a Marvel game set in San Francisco and Utopia

and an Aberrant game

and an all-OC Mutants and Masterminds game

and a pony

@Tez said in Age Verification & Games:

I’m not even talking about Discord’s age verification. I’m talking about RP servers on Discord being like ‘verify your age by sending us your ID’. I’m talking about users feeling like they need to do it.

ETA: I need to clarify. This is on top of Discord’s systemic age verification. This is an additional layer of USERS asking OTHER USERS in SHARED SERVERS to send them their ID.

Girl that is nuts there is 100% some ID theft ring running a Sonic RP server with five thousand defense contractors in it

@RightMeow said in Age Verification & Games:

@Tez I don’t discord. I know. I know. I’m old and out of touch or something. But… they want your ID? I guess I get it, but that makes me uncomfortable. Is that normal?

They haven’t asked for mine bc my account’s so old, but I’m 100% out if they ever do. I don’t even trust them enough for to pay for Nitro, no way am I giving them my ID.

@Pavel said in MU* Wishlists:

@Pacha And when did you develop this taste in luxuries?

just walked into Waffle House and asked for ortolan

@RightMeow said in AI In Poses:

I can’t imagine they are getting much out of the scene and I feel bad that they are robbing themselves (and others) from the authentic experience.

I started doing this when I was like 8 or 9, and I totally sucked but I don’t think even then it would’ve appealed to me to totally fake it that way. The right way to fake it is to just shamelessly imitate somebody you think is really good until somebody else thinks you’re really good and then spend the rest of your life quietly assured one day everybody will realize you’re a total fraud

@chorus said in Staff Bits Linking Handles:

@renaveleigh would have been too much to ask to just not pick petty fights with players, huh?

for the kind of people who tend to run superhero games, yes, that is way too much to ask or expect or even to hope for

(tend to, coin is cool)

@Wizz

I’m safe until an AI can accidentally send a TS pose over Public because it’s been awake for 30 hours

@Pavel said in MU Peeves Thread:

@RightMeow Would starting your own game be the equivalent of having a baby to save the toxic relationship?

Because I’ve considered it rather seriously for more than a few moments of late.
