It’s barely a peeve, but it doesn’t seem appropriate for ‘good things’, either.
People are really just not as slick as they think they are, in general. I see you, buddy.

I would say don’t do secrets, either. Talk about a storyteller resource sink.
Double-post because I missed this, but I do very much think it’s worth thinking hard on the fact that the overall game setting and framework sounds like it’s gonna be catnip to a fair number of people, and you might end up with a crush of players.
From your lips to AresCentral’s ears…
If you’re using Ares, you’re going to run into a naming issue at some point as entire swaths of character names become unavailable as they become part of a bygone generation.
Just start naming people Coin_II, Coin_III, Coin_IV.
Blah, I should have kept reading since I see the same joke was already made. Damn, lmao.

@GF said in Pax Republica - Discussion:
I get wanting to allow padawans or whatever, but this hobby really can’t be trusted with the responsibility to treat children as children rather than sex objects.
I think people can be 18 year old padawans. Plus that can allow growth into a full Jedi Knight on the grid over a short period of time and actually make sense.

@Roz Yes as along as they abide by the rules and conduct themselves appropriately. I doubt we will get anyone that young but if we do, we will allow it. If you’re wondering about our rules regarding mature content you can read about them here: https://paxrepublica.net/index.php?title=Adult_Content
I gotta be honest. I don’t know how you can have a game with an “R rating” but also allow 13 year olds. Why not just keep the R rating and say 18+ only?

RE: Predators and Roleplaying Communities
@Cobalt said in Predators and Roleplaying Communities:
@Arkandel I appreciate the support but there is no need to be sorry. Very few people in the community knew the details of what was going on. You get conditioned to keep things quiet.
I have other thoughts about stuff re: trans women, male, and neurodivergent victims but my brain is a touch mush right now.
Yeah, abusers get off on things like control, and gaslighting people into keeping quiet is a big part of that. I am sorry you went through everything. My mom has been talking more about her experiences dealing with my dad and I think not only is it helpful for her to be doing so but I believe she has found some peace in trying to warn younger people about signs to keep watch for.

RE: Predators and Roleplaying Communities
I’ll add to this thread.
Back in 1996-2000, I was RPing in AOL chat rooms and starting my MU RP journey. I had a number of cyber/TS scenes throughout that time when I was 15-17 with people who were admittedly in their 20s and 30s. There were people who knew I was not 18 and would still engage. They presented as female.
At the time, I thought it all very fun and exciting but I was also a horny ass teenage male, so you know, my brain wasn’t thinking of whether or not such things were appropriate. My brain was very much like sexsexsexsexsex.
I lived in rural Atlanta at the time and I even had invitations to see some of these people at Dragoncon. I never went, and over the years I’ve wondered what might have happened. Now, I just look back on it and am kind of like “What the fuck”
As an adult, I’ve strictly tried to keep any RP with people who are 18 and up. I think 18+ is generally the best policy for a MU or RP game simply because there ARE people who would do creepy stuff. In fact, I’ll go as far as to say that I think RPing as underage people is super borderline to me and I will never play someone who isn’t at least 18 or 19.

RE: Concordia Thread
@Coin But I don’t want a description of Spider-Man.
ANYWAY. The AI stuff is kinda whatever, but I’m glad they acknowledged what they are doing and we can move on. In the future, I think games should be open about having an AI policy because using it isn’t bad or anything, but being transparent is always a good thing.

RE: Concordia Thread
@Roz said in Concordia Thread:
So like — I know that AI detectors are far from perfect. But when a ton of text READS like AI-generated content, and then multiple AI detectors find high percentages of probability on items ranging from rosters, theme files, to GM poses, I am left with a lot of strange feelings about it. Like — idk, you do you, but if it IS the case, I think it the game should be transparent about it.
I hadn’t even thought of this.
I guess it was a matter of time for AI stuff to get involved in text based games. Time to look forward to AI driven scenes/events and/or AI TS I guess!

RE: Concordia Thread
@bored Okay, looks like Aequitas posted last night that Levente was indeed banned. I don’t know who they were, but I can understand the reasoning and am glad they communicated it.
-
RE: Concordia Thread
@somasatori Sir, there’s a trade org in the works for discussing the price of linen and such.
But no, I get it and I do like they are limiting people to 2. Since I recall seeing quite a few people respond to every post that went up.
-
RE: Concordia Thread
@bored Was Levente banned? I only saw the bbpost about Percival and before that the only other person I know that was banned was Katerina’s first player. I had no idea what happened to Levente.
I guess I assumed they quit because the other 2 people that were banned had bbposts made about them.

RE: Concordia Thread
@Rinel said in Concordia Thread:
Without this being approval or criticism of the ban, I’m sad to see Percival go. I had some fun scenes with him, and having someone who likes to run events is always nice.
That said, sometimes things don’t click, or there are problems, or you make a mistake serious enough to warrant a ban. I hope that you can get as much feedback as is appropriate, @BloodAngel .
Yeah I am not in the org Percival started but I do hope that it lives and the next person to pick up that character can do it justice.
-
RE: Concordia Thread
I have to agree with @Coin
Just because companies in the US can just fire people willy nilly because our labor laws are ass, doesn’t mean people shouldn’t have the basic reasons of their banning provided to them. I guess unless it’s someone who’s such a problem you’ve got to get them off right then and there, but tbh @BloodAngel doesn’t strike me that way.

RE: But Why
Me reading the OP and everything after
People wanna play what they wanna play. If you don’t wanna play that, don’t play it?
Just this opening line:
What is the appeal of playing humans in a world without magic, technology, or even indoor plumbing?
Let me just say that indoor plumbing has never been a cornerstone of my roleplay, so a lack of it doesn’t bother me one bit.

@Polk said in Concordia Thread:
This is the new Arx-like, right?
Potentially. They do have a roadmap for what some of their plans are, but I wouldn’t be ready to call anything the “new Arx-like” until it has more than 2 weeks under its belt, lol.
