  I have been getting a rash of people attempting to register who have not provided an e-mail address. Unsurprisingly, some of such registrations have come from our banned friend(s) who just can't seem to get enough of us.

  As a result, I am requiring that all new registrants provide an e-mail address.

  I have neither the time nor the inclination to deal with people I don't have to or want to and, yes, what the requirements are to get an account here are completely based on my judgment.

  @carma
  It wouldn't help existing WoD games; they said on their Twitch where they talked about it that it's only for 5th edition products, as far as the digital tools, character stuff, etc. They said 'never say never' but adding anything else is not on their roadmap currently. Which isn't surprising, Paradox has onlly been pushing official support for X5 editions, since that's the current edition.

  In many cases, they do not have the authority to tell you no if they are in an otherwise public space.

  The law requires that I answer "yes."

  @kestrel said in The ADD/ADHD Thread (cont'd from Peeves):

  So is constantly entertaining way more character concepts at any given time than I could ever see into fruition an ADHD thing, or just a special kind of multiple personality disorder?

  I think this may be why I feel most comfortable as a Storyteller. I can inhabit a character-of-the-week, then jump into a new body over and over, and return to past characters as they become relevant again.

  Posting for a friend:
  Host: aelfhame.net Port:1999
  Shadowrun Denver is a 3rd Edition MUSH set in Denver and the surrounding city (with smaller maps for CAL-FREE and New Orleans).

  Denver, 2081: Manufacturing roadblocks in Europe and a recent PoliClub attack in Seattle have dramatically affected the cost of goods for land-locked areas, most of all the Denver Metroplex. The temporary squeeze on imports into Denver has led to a resulting increase in black market wares, luxury goods shortages, and freshwater for the rich.

  From Ghostwalker on down, powerful interests are circling their wagons. Meanwhile, smugglers are raking it in, and go gangs are making hay while the sun shines in The Mile High.

  Meanwhile one of the prominent Denver Mob families are suffering from an unexpected death in the, er, family.

  Smaller orgs and corps smell opportunity now. Only a matter of time until the heavies expand their protection rates...*

  A flashpoint is happening next week and plots have the following modifiers:

  Positive:

  The Denver Koshari often play second fiddle to the big crime Orgs, so they're taking full advantage of this supply chain breakdown. +1 Karma to any run that helps fence goods to the Koshari or is a Koshari sponsored search and destroy gig to hit a competitor Org's smuggling operation. The new New Orleans area is suddenly ripe for a smuggling port. An additional 10K payout to all plots that operate in this NOLA and help get goods to Denver.

  Negatives

  Be careful what you wish for. Players hitting any Org operations could risk getting dragged into something bigger. ICA=ICC. People gotta eat! Threats in these plots are more likely to fight harder, stand around longer, and in the Big Easy you might bring the ire of some Voodoo Houngans (open plot hook too).

  I'm reskinning the names of Hermetic Magic and Wild Magic to 'Lesser Works' and 'Wishes' and changing some of the thematic ideas behind them. To re-eninforce the idea that this isn't Mage: the Awakening but Second Sight. :P

  @groth DO IT!

  I heartily recommend trying to take games whose setup or fiction you like and fitting it to a set of rules you prefer. You'll probably have people point out that X was im/possible under the old rules and now it's the opposite, but I've never seen any setting REALLY be shaped or accurately fitted to the rules of the game associated with it. (Except Dragonlance, where they kept Vancian casting).

  Been a while, partly because this version does a lot of overhauling behind the scenes! The window settings are now independent, can easily be copied and pasted from one to another, and you can set defaults for new windows/easy pasting.

  Among other things, this means you can do stuff like change the background or text colour of your main or secondary input for different tabs and see at a glance that this is the tab for Bob, not Fred!

  4.00.309 - 2021-10-27

  Add per server/character window settings, have different fonts/colors/etc per window!

  Add 'Double space lines' logging option

  Add 'Send Telnet Interrupt Process (IAP IP)' keyboard shortcut

  Add progress bars to beip.stats GMCP package

  Add Shift+Click to extend selection in output windows

  Add Holding down Ctrl when connecting opens the tab without connecting

  Tweak URL detection to include trailing _ characters (Dranyth)

  Tweak preferences dialog to not be so vertical

  Improve restore logs to restore local echo

  Fix a bug in MCMP where http:// was being prepended to every URL and it shouldn't have been.

  Fix another timers related bug (I found out OS timers can hit early, which leads to waiting 2x the timeout duration)

  Fix idle timer to not re-activate when trying to send something on a disconnected window

  Fixed a sound playback bug where if a file is not found or there is an error that playback slot becomes unusable (So after 16 failed sounds and no more will play)

  As always, you can get it from the Microsoft Store (which will autoupdate and will give the dev minor info about if you hit any crashes or hangs), or alternatively from the github. If you like the new changes or run into any confusion, hop over to the Discord and let Bennet know the former or ask the server in general about the latter!

  @jeshin said in The Desired Experience:

  @devrex

  My desired experience is to escape the burdens of a dissatisfying work, family, and sex life to replace it with simulated romances that I carefully craft to fulfill my emotional needs. Then, should I find disappointment will attack it as a personal slight against me and then obsess over needing to find "safe" roleplay, which means pigeonholing my online activities to players and roleplay situations that will fulfill these needs, but do so under the guise of it being their fault and not mine.

  TLDR - Roleplay is Escapism

  Haha I didn't think this would happen. Cheers, bruh

  Playing a character that is playing a character seems too many levels deep.

  Having a blast doing it on The Network.

  @ganymede Although only Faraday has chipped in, I don't expect anyone to come up with a 'nodeBB killer' suggestion.

  This might boil down to @Testament being able to set up a fresh nodeBB install on his VM (which he sounds very close to doing). Once that's done he knows how to redo it anywhere else.

  Then it's just basically picking a provider to set it up, I give you control of the musoapbox.net domain (it's freshly renewed so no need to pay for another year) and we point it to the new install. DONE.

  @wildbaboons said in The Wheel of Time:
  Yeah I saw that too, and his point was that they didn't want to go longer than 8-ish because then people would age up a lot and the story really only takes place over like 2 years or so. Which I totally understand.

  Hahah, that's an issue but Mat Cauthon literally becoming another person isn't? :)

  Joking aside, I think audiences would understand and/or not care as long as the cast works out for that long. Also they could have easily explained that through stress; look at before/after pictures of most POTUS where they age like hell over a term of so much responsibility placed on their shoulders.

  And that's without all the horrible things that happen to some of these characters over the course of the books.

  Speaking of which... uh, in a show already heavily criticized for its woke-ness, I wonder if they are going to show the sul'dam/damane stuff as written.

  I'm working on customizing Anomaly Jobs for a game I'm working on. I've always had issues with how +jobs works by default and I decided to knuckle down and Make It Do What I Want.

  A week later, I had this stack of stuff other people might find handy: https://github.com/MelpomeneMU/byzantine-opal/tree/main/auxilary functionality/%2Bjobs mods

  Iunno if anybody is still using that 10-20 year old tech but I got tired of waiting for something better to come along and I have realized that rewriting the sucker is more work than I want to do, so the next best thing is modding it.

  @warma-sheen said in Current Events:

  And I know most people might not agree with me, but I think it is scarier if people like this think they are doing the right thing than if these were cases (Rittenhouse included) of murderers looking for someone to kill.

  Actually, that's the one thing I've agreed with you about in... I can't remember how long. Definitely scarier and much more troubling.
