Is the mall… still open? Is there a food court? Is there a Hot Topic? Please elaborate.

@jujube Cobalt is mid-RL move and probably won’t respond quickly if it was unplanned.

I’ve been thinking quite a bit about a Lancer-themed game as of late, though it would require a pretty substantial rewrite in terms of the mechanics to make it work as a MUSH. Previous supernatural-exploration game that I pitched before (and an unpitched post-climate collapse space station game) is on the back burner for now.

mac OS sure seems to break a lot of stuff with every annual update. It’s always fun to figure out what it will be this year.

spoken with EDI privately and the latest iteration of the troll has been removed.

Clearly they aren’t interested in doing anything about the nazis there, because they allow them to just come right back onto the server after getting the boot:

And then when a server mod sees it going on (again)…

@EDI7078 Clean up your shit, unless this is the sort of thing that you want going on on your Discord server. The overwhelming majority of the MU* community doesn’t put up with this shit, and neither should you.

For whatever it’s worth, the patches that have come out recently (1.5 and up) have made it an… actually decent game? It’s actually playable now, on PC at least. Can’t comment on the console versions but I’ve heard good things.

@Reason I get the hesitation, but in a time when your SF options in MU* Ares/Evennia-land are essentially Firefly or Pern, I really think a proper hard SF game could do well. Or at least I would hope so.

@shit-piss-love said in Two Elevator Pitches:

I mean no lie regardless of what kind of game it is, if I’m running it there’s gonna be heavy themes of class warfare and other stories about punching up. The amnesiacs would have plenty of opportunities to glass space aristocrats from orbit.

Forgive the outdated meme, but I feel it’s appropriate:

Very into the first one, not so much into the second one, but outright fantasy just isn’t my bag.

I’ve never played on an Evennia game before, but a sci-fi concept like the first one is definitely enough to get me to give it a whirl.

@bear_necessities said in Weirdest Things You've Researched for MU*s:

@Jumpscare but I mean really, what flavor IS bread???

Carb flavor.

Perhaps a hot take from a relative newbie, but I don’t think a detailed magic (or combat, really) system is really ideal for a MUSH. If you want to implement all sorts of fun code toys, there are other game types better suited to that than a MUSH. I love Ares as a game platform, but I feel like FS3 already stretches the limit of what combat should be in a MUSH.

If you have to start worrying about different spell types, weapon types, etc, for anything other than specific plot reasons, maybe what you actually want to run is an RP MUD?

@Tez Not anymore! And apologies for missing the bugs thread and the existing thread about the advertisements forum, I didn’t think I would be able to post a thread, and then I was able to, and got a little excited.

Also, not sure if it’s related to the lack of email confirmation, but I can’t access the list of threads in the Advertisements forum either:

I can get to individual threads just fine, however, eg: https://brandmuday.mythicus.net/topic/125/the-network-where-we-provide-only-the-finest-in-programming

Looks like the forum isn’t currently able to send email, tried to confirm my email address and all I got was a whole lotta this and no email:
