    • RE: GMs and Players

      It's a free game, not a government service. You don't actually have to be "fair" (whatever that means).

      Anyone saying a DNC would be good enough for a stalker has never had a stalker. It's a game, staff doesn't actually have any obligation to a stranger who just logged on, they can just trust their known player and go on with their life. If you don't, the person being stalked will leave, so you're choosing to have the stalker on your game over the player who was already there being unproblematic. Have fun with that, I guess!

      Shoutout to Arx staff for handling my stalker the minute I said "hey I have a stalker."

    • RE: Forgiveness in Mushing

      The idea that people are owed forgiveness/that forgiveness is a moral imperative, is rooted in a lot of misogyny.

      No one is owed forgiveness.

      That doesn't mean everyone can just be a jackass to everyone who has ever wronged them, of course, but you don't have to forgive someone just because you "should". Be civil or stop engaging, but honor your feelings.

    • RE: Derbyshire Estate

      Maybe let's stop criticizing this game someone spent time and effort making for people to play, based on essentially nothing. If it's not the theme you want, don't play there. I don't go into WoD game threads to be like "ugh I wish this was L&L instead".

      This is not an issue. Even the worst case scenario is someone briefly thinks it's set in the real place. Again, this is not an issue.

      Atlantis, and every other option is objectively incorrect.

    • RE: TS - Danger zone

      I have never intentionally looked at someone's PB and I never will.
      I also don't read descs and never will. I'll check someone's sheet for basic physical factors, and probably forget those immediately anyway.

      I still have a strong visual idea of what's happening, it's just based on poses rather than descs. Who cares if I'm imagining it wrong half the time. It has never once caused a problem.

    • RE: GMs and Players

      @reimesu I'm not misrepresenting anything. One strike is too many, and people being stalked will leave the game if told a DNC is the answer. The stalker wins, the stalked player loses. Game runners can make whatever decisions they want from that fact. If you're fine with that, okay.

    • RE: GMs and Players

      For me it's as simple as harm reduction. Is more harm caused by banning someone who didn't do anything wrong, or by allowing someone abusive to stay? I think there is an objectively correct answer, clearly, but that's the call staff has to make.

      1. Jericho: the game. The tv show. Post-apocalypse in a small town, gotta rebuild and survive.
      2. Space coast guard. Loosely based on KB Wagers's NeoG books.

      @derp I mean literally, who cares? Why does it matter if someone thinks your little internet game isn't fair to random new players?

      @Pandora I definitely am! Your "displeasing" post is still incomprehensible and dumb, though.

    • RE: TS - Danger zone

      @Pandora What is your point? I can't even tell what I'm supposed to be displeased by. Is your argument that... we shouldn't ban certain types of behavior on games, because some people want the facade of non-con RP but won't say so, so we'd better make sure they can get their heart racing unexpressed desires over the expressed desires of other people to not be explicitly pressured and creeped on? Or is it that because you can't entirely eliminate pressure or coercion or non-con behavior, we shouldn't try to disallow any of it? Or that we don't have the "right" (whatever that means) to establish content rules and guidelines on games?

      I know you're just arguing for the sake of arguing, tbh, but it really seems like you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.

      I play a dude in public and rarely get propositioned and never mobbed.

      @sunny

      Some personalities and ways of carrying yourself are just straight up attractive.

      I'm charismatic 😢
