Sort of yes? I've been toying with using the Storypath Ultra system to do a WoD-style game. I'm a big fan of the system and think it could be a good way to give a fresh coat of paint on things while keeping it familiar and comfortable.

Sorry, everyone, that person is now banned for hate speech and flagrant rule-breaking.

@Tapewyrm I used to, as well. I was in Amon Thranduil mostly, as Aranellome and Hellaia. God, that was a long time ago.

Edited to add, I'm RL friends with player of Orosul still, too, though he doesn't MU anymore. And I still have contact with Gilgurth-player as well, not sure if he MUs anymore.

@Ghost said in Telnet Safety:

NEVER give your address, phone, banking, fullname, general location, business information, etc over pages/chat in MU even if you trust the person because THE DANGER ISNT YOUR FRIEND, BUT THE SERVICE/PROTOCOL YOU ARE USING.

Fixed that for you.

You nerd.

bless faraday for having the patience for this

Bless your heart, too

Maybe this should be a sticky.

Spaceballs 2 is in development with Josh Gad and Mel Brooks at Amazon, as reported by Variety Magazine. No word yet on the possibility of return actors (including Rick Moranis)

@faraday Mo' tech, mo' money, different problems

@faraday I think this would have been an amazing conversation over coffee, and I apologize. I don't mean for my tone to come across as accusatory as it did. I'll keep an eye on that, especially with you since you're awfully nice.

In my head this was more of a "DUDE...BUT..." type cubicle conversation about tech stuff, but one thing I think we did amazingly here is provide a point/counterpoint.

I am a former MUer with evident trust issues with the globulous "community" who is approaching this from the point of view of "...the bad scenario" and wanting to state out the width of possibilities to get them out there and undernconsideration

You are still prevalent in the community and are approaching this from a "stepping back from that, this is more likely" approach, and are providing a technical counterpoint about where the safety works and why it is better than it used to be (it is!)

I do think one thing is sure, though. Whatever next state the hobby takes will probably include someone either improving the insecure transmission issue through some new client/interface to cover that problem, or improvements to client/web interfaces using TLS to allow for more of the customization that MuClients provide.

And hot-damn, I'm still wondering about Diffie
