Hiya.

I've got an itch for cossetted gowns and shining knights, so I'm on the hunt for a Lords and Ladies mush. Problem is that the only two I know about have major problems with being rather insular due to their small pbase. But what's the point in playing on a MU* dedicated to politics and intrigue if you can't play politics and intrigue without engaging in OOC politics and intrigue?

So I'm hoping the wise people of the soapbox might point me to a L&L MU* that has broken the cycle, smashed the wheel, and terminated the loop. Are there any L&L MU*s out there that don't hoard their intrigue like it was forged by Celebrimbor?

Does this exist? Has it ever? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm adaptable to theme, setting, rating, style, the level of conflict, etc. And I have no problems playing a gracious loser, whether it be villain or heroine. All I'm really hoping for is some sort of real metaplot with actual RP hooks, and not ye olde DMV.

@kay Werewolf. I'll give it another day or two while I look into the other spheres.

I agree with Songstress. So far the few I've seen have been fun. Having a disproportionate goth-lesbian population is kind of a staple for WoD or WoD-inspired MU*s.

Enjoying this MU* so far, though I haven't quite hit my stride in terms of plot integration yet. Excited to see how the MU* grows.

@kay I've been waiting a week and a half on my chargen app, and the only reply I've had from staff was one that got my stats wrong over a week ago. Nothing since. I poked the job a few days ago and still nothing. I wondered if it's just my sphere or a game-wide issue.

Sounds like Changeling is fine, though! Maybe I'll try to re-app as Changeling if they're still open.

Has anyone who plays here had their jobs/apps answered in the past week, and if so, what sphere are you in?

Looks like it. A user named Telecornjc put up a redirect on their main page to a page called 'fuck you'.

I'm curious, when Incro left... did he give an actual reason?

Lack of staff response to jobs. He mentioned it several times in OOC room. I got the impression that he was the kind to put in more than the average amount of jobs though, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

Incro-isms aside, that's a legitimate concern for FW. Other than @skew it was sometimes difficult to get staff to look at things, at least in my experience.

I think this why people are concerned about Reno siphoning staff attention. Staff stops responding to jobs, plots die, and people leave the game.

That is well and good though the next time I some one asks me where I rp I will be sure to answer in my living room.
And I will stick with my current mode of considering anyone who gives the answer of "Whatever you want" to the question of "What should I play?" to be someone utterly unconcerned with actually being useful and a good sign to avoid the game in question.

Honestly, even when I communicate directly, I still get that "play whatever you want!" line. At this point I take it as a sign that there really isn't much going on there, or that the theme is absolutely without direction. This has been the biggest hurdle in shifting from RPI MUDs to MUSHes, for me. On a MUD when you ask what role is needed, people will tell you. You'll get day one RP. Sometimes staff will even support you and give you minor perks because they're sick of having to field requests based around that role. On MUSHes you're just kind of left hanging, and then it always boils down to making OOC friends with the people there, at which point your character becomes irrelevant to the situation.

I think one thing people forget is that if I make a character based around X, I want to RP X with that character. Sure, you can contrive ways for that character to be involved in not-X, but at that point, why wouldn't I just build a character I enjoy around not-X? By doing it the "you can play whatever you want way" then shoehorning them in after the fact, I get the worst of both worlds: Not only am I not RPing the things I wanted to RP with this character, I'm not really RPing the things everyone else is RPing because I'm only here because of contrivances.
