      Failure can be fun, especially when it's funny! COME ON PEOPLE.

          Riffing off of @saosmash, going back to basics in RP. Having a scene with people I don’t know, with a character and a world that’s new to me, and having them do something dumb because neither I nor my character know any better, and having it just be fun. No one (including me) thinking about OOC reputation, or showboating, or how it might annoy others, or go terribly wrong. Just doin’ stuff, including messing up, and enjoying it because the attitude is yay! Instead of srs.

            Wrong thread, dork. You're looking for the thread titled "Shit that don't mean shit to Ganymede or to how the NBA Finals are going to play out."

                        Upvote for the Ben Folds Five reference, and also just to prove that there were hipsters (just with different names) before the current generation, I did see see them in a rinky dink club with about 25 other people in 1995.
                        Said club is now the site of the downtown branch of the local library.

                              Last night, between two players and me, in a large-scale plot that brought to a conclusion the first part of a major metaplot arc:

                              Player A made a choice utterly consistent with his character.
                              Player B also made a choice utterly consistent with his character.

                              Me, to Player A: You realize that if you do this, your character will die.
                              Player A: Well, I'd hoped not, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
                              Me, to Player A: Well. I'm going to give him a goddamn heroic death then.
                              Player A: <cracks knuckles> Let's go make MUSH magic.

                              Me, to Player B: You realize that if you do this, your character will die.
                              Player B: That's what he'd do. I'm okay with this.
                              Me, to Player B: Okay. Let's do this. Here we go.

                              It was glorious. It was heroic. They saved other people's PCs. They saved NPCs. And in the end, when the time came and I dealt them both the damage they would have received? They succeeded their checks to stay alive through crazy damage, and managed to make it out looking like the badass heroes they are.

                              Last night was magic. People in pubchan were glued to the log, frantically refreshing to see what was going to happen. People in the scene were hoping. The poses were epic, the story fantastic, and all because of players who let the moment infect them, and inspire them, and weren't afraid to look certain death in the face and just go all in anyway.

                              You know who else gets credit for that?

                              There was one character who was going to have to make a similar choice. She made her pose and waited. And then these first two players moved in and distracted the bad guy, and she.... let them. She didn't struggle. She didn't force it into trying to make him deal with all of them. She had her moment. She did some heroic things. And then she let them save her, letting their potential sacrifice take the spotlight.

                              So - MU Things I Love - people who will go all in on a story, will risk death not because they want to take all the spotlight or the story, but because that's what their character will do, and who are willing to share the glory with others. That kind of collaboration makes greatness. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

                                @darinelle Last night was pretty amazingly epic. I was going to make a post about it earlier today before this but i was trying to get a motion response out on a deadline and uh, too little sleep.

                                  @saosmash I still can't even. My husband got me sick so our trip this weekend is kaput and I'm still just bubbly about everyone last night.

                                    @darinelle I'm upvoting for your bubbly, not for your husband getting you sick. That was clearly just rude.

                                        I want to say HM but maybe it was TR, there was a time when people thought it was unfair/close to cheating if you took a failure without failing the dice.

                                        People also thought the planet was flat once.

                                        Lies, it still is.

                                        I'm just a surge protector doing my job, sir.

                                          ...Someone mav'd me a question about the physical logistics of their TS. It was in no way kinky or weird or even all that racy, but I freely I admit that I giggled like a little kid who heard someone say "do it".

                                          Mavs are hilarious, you guys.
