MSB MU*?

Coin

I'm only kinda tangentially around at the moment while tapering off stuff, but I gotta admit, I would have been down with something voice-side and open to all simply because I'm one of those people that writes like I talk... but until somebody hears me talk and can spot what's tongue-in-cheek and what's serious a little better, which is much easier to do when I'm speaking, I'm really fucking easy to misread. I try to be cognizant of that, but it's not always successful.

I just like voice-chatting with people who share my hobby. It's a thing I like.

I used to like voice chatting but now pretty much you'd just hear preschoolers and/or teenagers shouting/tantruming in the background.

Misadventure

As long as they aren't undressed for the webcam.

Rook

Look, as I explained, I spilled something all over that shirt! And I ALWAYS listen to that style of music!

Misadventure

Well, I think I was referring to a @JinShei incident from long ago.

The @Rook Incident ... just ... no words.

Cobalt

There was a WORA MU* for a while. It really didn't last all that long.

Rook

Did Spider ruin it?

WTFE

No. Bane and the douche who co-ran the previous WORA (who shall remain nameless) did. Oh, and the fact that it really added nothing whatsoever to having WORA itself also kind of ruined it.

I would totes voice-chat with you over the shouting/tantruming. You're awesome.

I enjoy voice chatting with @Eerie, @Thenomain, @EmmahSue, @Cobaltasaurus, @tragedyjones, @skew, @ILuvGrumpyCat, @Marshmallow, and a slew of others, a lot, too.

Like, I will legitimately talk to pretty much anyone if they want to. Just sometimes you might have to deal with me also playing League of Legends or something at the same time because nothing is funnier than my cackling/griping (dependent on whether I'm taking is somewhat seriously or just busting someone's chops).

But, like, yeah. I used to chat with @Fortunae and @2mspris all the time, too, and also @Faceless and @Royal, especially when we were all in The Reach's Mage sphere. @somasatori and @HelloRaptor are fun voice chatting, too.

It's strange because I don't really like talking on the phone, but I will wag the chin right off anyone if I can also be on my computer doing other stuff!

@Coin I'm generally always open to a good chit-chat over some nebulous, ever-changing topic. I'm not really interested in the idea of an MSB MU*, though. I assume everyone's just joking when they're talking about the idea of doing it anyway.

Coin

@Faceless Some of the best conversations have come from us just talking smack about people without really meaning to. >.> I mean yeah, we're horrible people, but at least we have fun and don't take it further than that? XD XD XD

@Coin that may have been true at one point. I've tried to change that habit these days though. I took a turn for change when someone on the internet told me I was the second angriest person they'd ever met, after their own father. Since then I think I've made considerable effort to be a more positive presence.

Now I tend to only really shit talk people who either deserve it without exception or directly to their e-face. More the latter than the former. Frequently for some time now I'll just try to ignore it and focus on the IC aspects of a game, rather than the OOC politicking and mean-girling.

I've got someone on Arx right now for example who has apparently been making the rounds, shit-talking me to everyone who will listen. Apparently I'm the meanest person who ever did mean IC, which means that clearly I'm the most terrible of things OOC too - I think? I'm not really clear on where they've blurred the line between IC and OOC. Naturally it all got back to me pretty quickly. I've made as much effort as I can to just keep things IC and ignore their antics. Old me would have been banned a month ago.

Well, I mean, I did include the caveat that we are/were horrible for it.

There's also that thing where you did something bad I don't entirely remember and thought I was super angry at you for a while? I mean you know. Memories.

I remember with more fondness than that, though, the long skype conversations planning out Silver Ladder political strategies with you, @Fortunae, and @Royal.

@Coin those were good times. Though I didn't really do any planning. I was still learning Mage and the Silver Ladder at the time. My fondest memories were just listening to everyone talk mage shop and learning the system that way. I asked questions when necessary, but overall I just sat back and listened. After two or three months I had a firm grasp on the mechanics of Mage and was working up combined castings in a matter of minutes. It was fun, learning something new without a great deal of concerted effort.

Now, this sentimental stuff's out of the way. We going to fuck or what?

@Faceless Not that it is relevant to this discussion, but:

People who come to you saying "OMG SO AND SO SAID X ABOUT YOU" are not your buddies, and should be told to stop or cut from your life. At the very least, they should absolutely not be taken at face value, because their only motivation is to watch drama, so the goal is shit stirring. Not honesty. Not just 'letting you know'.

Snort.

I learned Mage that way, too. @Fortunae was crazy good at explaining it, if you gave him time. Man does like to talk.

Like that time I said you could go fuck yourself?

Ahhhh, good times.

No, because you did that on the MU, not in voice chat.

You've never told me to go fuck myself in voice chat, though I'm sure you've thought it.

I cannot in good conscience or even in bad conscience tell someone to fuck themselves on voice chat or in text except for in two conditions:

This person is not even trying
I'm so far gone in caring that I am on the verge of hurting myself or others

Maybe when I'm joking. (Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I've told you that under this condition, but you've forgotten because it was camaraderie.)

Now for those in the studio audience, Coin and I have yelled at each other in voice chat, but one of those usual cases where each person thinks the other person isn't listening so things get louder. Or he was drunk. Or his mom. Always his mom.
