@simplications said in What Would it Take to Repair the Community?:

Having not been a Hog Pit reader, my knowledge of what went on in there came from second-hand reports of people I knew or knew of getting dragged, Mean Girls style, over relatively petty shit that just always seemed like interpersonal issues, miscommunications, or whatever

So in other words, a lot of the second hand reports you heard were told to you by those being accused of something and then declaring their innocence, or that it was being taken out of context, or that it was all a misunderstanding, or 'they' were just over reacting. Totally understandable. The guilty never declare they didn't do it or are being framed and anyone you actually know and like couldn't possibly be guilty of something.

Not all therapists are created equal. Like anything/anyone else, there are good ones and bad ones. And when it comes to doctors in general, even good ones aren't for everyone. You need to find one you click with and if this one doesn't work out, try again till you find the right one for you.

I have no plans to 'upgrade' my Wolf-Blooded to full werewolf. Honestly, I think they're a lot more interesting and have tons of potential as they are.

@reimesu Honestly, WORA was a shithole. Each incarnation after it got a little better. I'm sure we all remember HR leaving because the place got too nice. MSB a couple months ago was a pretty nice compromise. It still had too many personal attacks but that's how people - all people - argue. They always seem to devolve into ad hominem attacks and I doubt that will ever change.

MSB was just how many people liked it. I'll even say most based on the number of active posters there compared to here and the number of active threads as well. But that's neither here nor there.

Who needs official promos when Ryan Reynolds is here. Deadpool Thanks You.

@demiurge said in Dreamwalk MUSH:

EDIT: So if reaming me out for going against the grain is commonplace here, I'll cop that on the nose.

Really? 'Going against the grain' is what you got out of this?

@Derp Nope, not that. But never mind. So totally not worth the effort when there's fun to be had.

Dear fucking idiot checking our your own groceries at the supermarket.

Stop picking up your fucking phone every 20 seconds to text someone. I'm waiting patiently for you to finish inserting your fucking bills into the fucking slot that you seem to be having so much problem with. There is also someone behind me. And when you do get done, pack up your fucking groceries immediately. You have seven fucking items. Don't pack two, text, pack two more, text again, repeat.

And yes, I could start checking my own even though you're leaving yours on the belt however I don't like to mingle my groceries with those of a complete stranger. I don't know where you've been. Take the fucking 30 seconds to bag all your shit and then text all you want.

I believe my exact words were 'Is that so important that you have to keep us all waiting?' when I wanted to say the above.

@crayon @Jeshin

Just in case you haven't read any other threads here, you're not being treated any differently than anyone else. Debates here are pretty blunt.

5 Supreme Court Justices.

Adding to this: picturing Scalia's reaction. When I first heard the ruling, I didn't even think of him. Now that I've calmed down, I get the added bonus of schadenfreude.

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

Edited to add: It's even better after reading Scalia's dissent. What a great fucking day it's turned out to be.

This board is made up of people who've been on it, in one incarnation or another, for fifteen years or more. If anyone has overstayed their welcome...

Yes, it was a fairly common symbol in India going back a couple thousand years. But it's also found on ancient Greek coins dating back to the 4th century BC.

Empire State Heroes is now open!

New York City is in the midst of a period of rebuilding, growth, and exploration, after an attack on the United Nations some four years earlier damaged a large swath of the city from Brooklyn to Harlem during the height of political turmoil over the Registration of Powered Persons. World Unification has become a real possibility as nations argue the pros and cons of a potential World Government. Several superhero organizations are recognized by not only the U.N. but multiple national governments. Knowledge of life on other planets and from other dimensions is beginning to be broadly known public knowledge. From neighborhoods to the skies, people both powered and otherwise are finding the world becoming a much smaller place, with new challenges to face.

ESH is a superhero game based in the Marvel Universe which embraces characters from a number of different sources including Marvel, DC, and beyond. Non-Marvel sources need to be adapted into the Marvel Universe. We are a non-canon game that allows both Media and Original characters to coexist. We are happy to help players adapt characters to our setting.

We are an open +sheet game which uses descriptive traits to define how characters interact with one another and we depend on players to engage in consensual storytelling in order to create the collaborative fiction that is our world. Character growth is story-driven.

We officially opened on March 1st, 2019.

As of 8/18/20, we are now using Ares.

A thread in Constructive Criticism to discuss the game is here: https://musoapbox.net/topic/2658/empire-state-heroes-mush

@Rook I'm pretty sure she means, as per the saying, that since she doesn't like herself, she therefore can't like her friends.

@silentsophia There's levels to that saying beyond the surface which is what it really means. If you want, page me on the game about it. I'm sorry I directed you to RuPaul.

So, a bit of an update. It's been not quite 3 weeks. We have 57 approved characters of which 20 are original characters. We've also added 2 plot staff since games, especially supers, thrive on active stories being run.

Players are still limited to only 1 media character so there's still many popular ones to choose from. That changes on 4/1 when we open up a second MC slot so many will be snapped up then.

@blondebot said in Tomorrow is the Deadline....:

Honestly, trying to set up automatic voter registration in a country of some... 300 million or so people sounds like a logistical nightmare and we're already crazy in debt.

Issue social security number, register person to vote, taking effect 18 years from date of birth. Done.

@ThugHeaven Don't forget Asian. (15 automatically makes her a schoolgirl.)

@arkandel said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

I just don't understand how hair gets everywhere, even on clothes kept away from the furry bastards.

There is cat hair in my freezer. How? I don't know. I'm not petting them while the freezer is open. And yet, it's there. Likely osmosis.

Doesn't top the story but one time I was hanging out in the OOC room and totally out of the blue was a rather explicit sex emit. After checking WHO, it became obvious it must have been meant for another game since no one had the names used in it.

Strangely, no one claimed credit.

And we still don't have an ignore function.
