KB is right. There is nothing to be gained. There is no understanding to reach. There is no communication to be had. The other night I was so profoundly disappointed in what has become of a good place that I was honestly pretty bummed out.
It is what it is. They are what they are. Let them be. And leave them there.
I’m just glad Ghost is there to lead the way to a brighter, more positive future.

I don’t know if you guys have heard about this new fangled MUSH server called Ares–
Ares has brought a lot of new life into the hobby. I’ve watched people who hadn’t even logged into a MU* in their life launch and run games. Congratulations to @Faraday, and THANK YOU!!
While users can create new threads, they cannot create new categories. I believe that’s what you mean when you say new boards, yeah? We made a conscious choice not to include a politics category when we created this forum and right now that is not changing.
Politics isn’t a team sport. It’s life or death for many of us.
It’s not that we don’t think it’s important, so we won’t make space for it; in many ways, it is TOO IMPORTANT. This is especially true given the hands-off moderation stance I’d rather see on this board. We just don’t have the time, bandwidth, expertise, capacity, etc. to be able to moderate those discussions.
I’m sorry.
@Dreampipe said in Bannings:
There are actually a fuckton of literal fascists in this hobby;
There are fascists in a lot of places, alas. Fascists in gaming is an interesting area people are working on, but the far right were early adopters of online spaces (including back in the BBS days). Their methods will only ever get a small percentage of the population, but if you have so many people you can access, you can get to a much greater proportion of that small number and…well.
As someone who is super into history, Norse mythology, Crusader Kings, punk rock, and RPGs, the amount of time I have to spend squinting at people with common interests and going “Okay, but are you a fucking Nazi?” is both alarming and exhausting.
Seconded. I’m a white dude and it’s sometimes really anxiety inducing to talk about those kinds of interests without feeling like, “guys I swear I just like the stories, I’m not a white supremacist”. Double whammy because I also like power metal.
At least a lot of them usually don’t take long to go mask-off. I remember people using SS designs in medieval games like Mordhau or Chivalry. No it’s not a pair of lightning bolts, I know what you are.
Look, I can’t lie. I would use a pair of lightning bolts because I think lightning bolts look cool.
AND THEN I WOULD BE FUCKING MORTIFIED WHEN SOMEONE TOLD ME.
Pour one out for everyone born in 1988 who is innocently making very poor choices about their usernames.
He can’t. It would prove everything that is said about him.
Also, he probably doesn’t even go here. He’s never read anything here ever in his life.
ALSO, he left the hobby YEARS AGO, he’s SO BUSY, he’s TOO BUSY TO READ THIS.

He left disturbed and worried for us because the game is too queer.
That’s exactly how I want people to walk away from me.
Wow. I have no trouble believing it’s her. But holy fuck that log. This had nothing to do with your theme. It had everything to do with that player. I’ve seem similar things on very different themes if that’s her.
Or, on the other hand, everyone’s a victim here.
Macha’s a victim of Ruiz.
Ruiz is a victim of Macha.
Cobalt’s a victim of a pit of scorpions.
@Wizz It made me giggle too, but I would rather leave them over there so that people who DON’T wanna be reminded can live a better life.
@junipersky My eyes got real big as I read this post. I’m sorry.
Also added some captcha stuff. Sorry, Hertz Mexico. If you run into a problem with it, please let me know.
Oh I guess I said 5/18 and not 5/19 but I MEANT 5/19. Sorry about the confusion. More upgrades to come as the plugins catch up but we should be good for now. Probably.
Hi, guys:
I killed a few sus looking accounts. If that was actually you, REAL SORRY ABOUT THAT.
I’ll be doing a major upgrade to the new nodebb version from 2.x to 3.x on 5/18 morning.
@STD said in Neo Draconis: Embrace the Weird - Discussion:
I hope this is the appropriate place for this.
I haven’t read a thing in this thread yet besides this sentence but this IS the right place and THANK YOU for making a new thread.
They just rebooted! I’m not a player, past or present, but I hear things. Like that they rebooted and are up again. That’s it. That’s all I know.
