Game Update: Opening Events starting on Saturday, March 18 2023.

6ix Remains is set to move forward into official Alpha plot launch with a trio of Opening Events this coming Saturday. In the past month the survivors have been busy securing their community-building and finding supplies to sustain themselves through the crisis. The opening events are now set to allow them to explore beyond the safety of their haven, and attempt to find out what is happening in the rest of the city. What they find may well shake their views of the new reality that they think they know.

Will things improve for the survivors? Or will things get worse before they get better? Come join us and find out!

@kk That's the hardest part; setting boundaries.

On one hand, you don't want to say something that will judge/dodge you out of roleplay, so you (rhetorical you) do your best to come across as easy to work with and accommodating. On the other hand, not setting boundaries up front is something 10x easier to do with someone you already have rapport with. Sometimes players will outright decide not to RP with you if you say you're not looking for TS or relationship RP. There's definitely a subtle art to asserting your boundaries -and- coming across as worth roleplaying with.

That and their Star Wars universe has kaiju that are eating planets.

This is an amazing start! Happy that people have a Blade Runner game to play on. It's a great universe with a lot of rich lore in it, and I look forward to seeing what you all do with it in the future! Keep up the energy, it sounds like everyone is having a great time!

@Cobalt Hey, saw that you're closing the game. It always sucks because you put in all that time and effort, and it all seems to go to waste.

I wanna apologize for not actively playing. I only played one scene with each of my two alts, but the general vibe of the RP just wasn't working for me. I think my expectation was this would be WoD-esque, prime-time supernatural show, but what I saw was mostly daytime sappy/skeevy-romance soap with fur. Might be fun for some folks, but not what I was looking for.

I also feel certain individuals involved in the sappy/skeevy-romance RP are kinda sus... they might even possibly be the bad actors you were referring to. Sucks even worse that it's because of these bad actors that you are forced to throw the game away.

In the larger scheme of things, this is not an isolated incident and we've all seen evidence of this in several other games in recent years. I'm pretty concerned with these individuals sneaking their way into games and repeating their manipulative/abusive behavior, and staff everywhere end up spending more time policing (and mole-whacking) than actually having fun.

I haven't seen a decent Mage 2E game for years. What's the opening date looking like?

@ZombieGenesis Same. There's something very relaxing about the game while also having good puzzles and exploration. In the last few years I've really taken a shine to "lower stress" games like the Lego games or games with a "story" difficulty. I probably needed more relaxing games after being the "Soulsborne" gamer that I am.

Importing your WizardingWorld stuff was neat. Turns out I'm a Gryffindor. Huzzah

I've just heard word from Melkir's wife that his ashes will be on board the Enterprise flight, alongside luminaries like Nichelle Nichols, James Doohan and DeForest Kelley. He would have loved nothing more.

@Runescryer I hope you find what you need. All the best.

@golgoth

I believe there are Changelings at City of Shadows.

As Into The Garden Elizabeth Ran
by A. E. Housman

As into the garden Elizabeth ran,
Pursued by the just indignation of Ann,
she trod on an object that lay in her road,
She trod on an object that looked like a toad.

It looked like a toad, and it looked so because
A toad was the actual object it was;
And after supporting Elizabeth's tread
It looked like a toad that was visibly dead.

Elizabeth, leaving her footprint behind,
Continued her flight on the wings of the wind,
And Ann in her anger was heard to arrive
At the toad that was not any longer alive.

She was heard to arrive, for the firmament rang
With the sound of a scream and the noise of a bang,
As her breath on the breezes she broadly bestowed
And fainted away on Elizabeth's toad.

Elizabeth, saved by the soul of her boot,
Escaped her insensible sister's pursuit;
And if ever hereafter she irritates Ann,
She will tread on a toad if she possibly can.

Pope Benedict, just under the wire.

@Macha Sounds about right. It was pretty well known around here that it wasn’t exactly a safe environment. The internalized misogyny that keeps that running makes me insane.

@Misadventure

It was all text from what I saw. But I did hear about another server (I didn't join that one at all, too busy at the time) that was run like a tabletop game, mostly over voice chat.

@faraday You are 100% right about HTTPS connections via the web portal. HTTPS uses TLS to encrypt that traffic, so it's better altogether than using a MU client from a work device (or arguably ANY form of connecting to a MU using Telnet). The IT Professional in me would say always use TLS/HTTP instead of telnet when available.

@Pondscum said in Housing UK?:

Best idea would be to go through a regulated site. https://www.spareroom.co.uk/ is one of the better ones here in the UK and very widely used by students and professionals alike. Good luck.

Yeah, we're doing that too... But sometimes all routes to an end are useful.
