Thank you BMD mods for making it easier to rubberneck and preserve this trashfire…I mean stay informed.

RE: Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo
NGL the thing I’m trying to wrap my head around is this pile of refuse passing as a game not having a WORA/MSB thread prior to this.

RE: Topic Deletion Query and Feedback
I voted no due to the potential for abuse by bad actors but get why the Magicians guy deleted his post and think the kind of reception is worth reflecting upon.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
@mietze said in MU Peeves Thread:
I wish people didn’t always turn this into “if you’re not in action/plot its because you just prefer social things” that is honest far from the truth a lot of the time.
I was once told - by someone in control of plot stuff - that because I was a ‘social RPer’ and in a decent number of scenes (many of which I asked for) that I didn’t need plot involvement. It was a hell of a thing and like five years later I’m still mad about it.

RE: Why is Pack closing?
@Cobalt
Whatever worked or didn’t work about The Pack, I really hope the experience wasn’t too discouraging for you. Like I said lots of posts back, it DID seem like a game a lot of players responded to in positive ways, and I am really impressed with how you responded to an atmosphere that you didn’t feel good about being the gamerunner of anymore, because that was obviously really hard and Unfun to deal with this directly. I think it’s always constructive to reflect on why something didn’t work, or didn’t work for you personally, or get across what you wanted to get across, but I hope that doesn’t mean it was as wholly negative experience because you are a gamerunner lots of people like and respect and it’d be awesome to see another project from you in the MUSH space when you were excited to do it. -
RE: A Constructive Arx Thread
I thought about going back but end of the day I came to the same conclusion I did a while ago: I left my most active period on Arx on a really good note and that’s the experience I want as my strongest memory of the game. It’s cool to see a chapter of it get a conclusion, though, a lot of MUs don’t, and I’ll be interested to see how it ties it up.

RE: Macha Awareness (And Unappreciation) thread
@Selira said in Macha Awareness (And Unappreciation) thread:
I’m still pretty shocked Derp made up a multiparagraph theory wholecloth and tried so hard to sell it. Why? What was the benefit of that kind of speculation? I realize I’m speculating here, myself, but he’s more than welcome to come here and provide the answers.
That was the first moment I was sorry I was banned (apart from every time I try to find something on that mess of a board because the bad search is even worse if you aren’t logged in) because I would’ve enjoyed enthusiastically and repeatedly reporting Derp’s own post for violating his ‘you need to bring receipts’ and ‘no personal attacks’ rules.

RE: Weirdest Things You've Researched for MU*s
@Rathenhope
Spirit Lake was non-stop Googling small town infrastructure and businesses in Grand Lake, CO. I sometimes wonder if any tech people in that little town were ever like ‘Where the hell are these website hits coming from and why do they care about the high school marching band?’ -
RE: Bannings
Now the community seems fractured. Hopefully it is a problem that will fix itself.
I do think it’ll sort itself out in time. We’ve all been through lots of cycles on these many MU boards and for better or worse this doesn’t feel too different to me than the way the other ones came to be over the years. Not that it doesn’t bum me out, it’s a very niche hobby and having users scattered sucks just in terms of ease of use if nothing else, and the I feel for folks who’ve had actual strained or damaged personal relationships. It has been cool to see old names pop up here, though, you among them.
I’m not personally looking for any rhyme or reason to the bannings that went down in that thread, I doubt I’d find any answers I got non-aggravating anyway even if the MSB mods want to give them someday, so. So it goes.

RE: Good things in Mushing
I sometimes think that, for better or worse, I can’t possibly encounter people I’ve NEVER RP’d with anymore or shared game-space with. But sometimes I do, and not only are they new, they’re WONDERFUL, and that’s real nice.

RE: Why is Pack closing?
Thank you for posting this, this shit is deplorable but this person needs to be put on blast. My God.
It also hit the ‘this isn’t how this works, this isn’t how any of this works’ in my brain when this abomination of a player used a Luck point to try and sexually assault another PC (FS3 is a cooperative system!) but misuse of the game system is the least of this creature’s problems.

RE: But Why
Can this thread please be moved out of Game Gab so we can fully engage with the bad faithness of this original argument?

RE: Bannings
Yo.
So.
I really do want to put this shit in my rearview mirror. I’ve been trying. I have never said my ban was undeserved or that I didn’t know exactly what I was doing when I said “fuck you @ganymede” in a moment where I well and truly meant it and was fully aware it was going to get me a ticket out of this particular internet discussion forum. Fair enough.
That being said.
Today I have read tell of ABUSIVE DMS being the real and true reason people got banned. Which has never really been floated before (save in conversation about a ban that was overturned). But here it is. So.
Here are my DMs with Ganymede which it has never been implied were any part of the reason I got banned, but, hey, the implication is there now, and so I am posting them.

They are imo kinda boring, contain stuff I think I’ve posted before but can’t remember, and basically paraphrase things I said in a public thread on MSB, but if anyone is shocked, OK. I will own being a person who occasionally uses profanity and quotes George Orwell in somewhat confusing ways. I think both my friends and enemies will agree I am this person. I’m aite with that.
Edited to Add: I would really like to underline that DMs were requested as a way to defuse and resolve this initial mishegoss and, while I will not say I tried nicely, I did try in good faith. Wasn’t repaid. So it fucking goes I guess. Here it is for public consumption.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
This isn’t a MUSH peeve, really, but somebody just used a PB of a character on a teen drama I used to watch in the 2000s, where this guy played a teenager. And he’s now gotten to the point where you can use him as an ‘old man’ character.
And for a second I was like wait…that can’t be right…
And no, the actor is exactly the right age, it’s just been 20 years and we’re all old now.

@Kestrel said in MU Peeves Thread:
Feeling like … I can only scene with you as long as I am very polite and mindful and watch my step and am on my best behaviour.
This is death to me and any kind of interesting RP interaction. Also just…human interaction. Because when this happens it doesn’t feel like these people want courtesy or basic consideration, it feels like they want me to prioritize them at all times and edit my behavior to some moving goalpost that’ll please them and…no.

RE: Bannings
I’ll admit the arbitrary nature of the whole thing (both the initial wave and the latest de-bans) bugs me on some level, even if I’m still fine with and more ‘lol that was wild’ than anything else about my ban. End of the day I still mostly just want to move on.

RE: Bannings
I can only speak for myself but I don’t need or expect anything. I agree it’s too late to really fix what went down and the only thing we can do is make this place whatever we want it to be going forward. A clear ‘this was bad administration, I personally not a mealy-mouthed passive-voice entity made a mistake’ statement from Ganymede would be nice on a personal level but I can’t see anything making me want to go back to MSB even if I was unbanned at some point.
It would be nice if the mods at MSB now stopped saying things like ‘this vague person was banned over abusive DMs’ in a way that implied maybe I or maybe someone else who never sent any ABUSIVE DMS did that. It sucks to feel like you’re being subtweet lied about in ways you can’t respond to. But they will or they won’t and I do just need to stop reading, or at least stop investing what I read with any feeling, for my own bloodpressure.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
@KarmaBum said in MU Peeves Thread:
I’d rather want than get. I like to pine. But it’s hard to make that happen on M*s 'cause people will usually IMMEDIATELY 100% BE INTO YOUR PC TOO!!! if you show so much as the faintest inkling of interest.
I don’t like to pine but I like a slow burn, especially in terms of Feelings, and people want to be insta-true loves or insta-besties after one bar scene in ways that take me out of the RP. It is all down to OOC communication, which I’m still figuring out how to do particularly well. 90% of my issues with RP partners are down to mismatched expectations that were just never hashed out because a 5 minute conversation is hard, I guess.
