@Arkandel said in Historical MUSHes:

... But that's a very big if unfortunately. And while The Pianist is a static work of art that narrates events within a specific context and tells a specific tale. MU* simply don't work like that due to their interactive nature.

I agree with this 100%.

Take these movies about racism, etc. Will Poulter played a racist who said a lot of nasty stuff in Detroit, but he was hired to do so and part of a production company that had lunch with him, took breaks with him, and there had to be trust between actors. He wasn't calling people those names off-camera.

I don't see mushing surviving these concepts unless at the very least it's an invite-only MU where everyone knows going in that some players will be dropping N-bombs, but there's enough OOC love that the other players are well aware that it's a role and not covert racism spank-banking.

On an open door cattle-call mush, not so much.
