My character loses a confrontation spectacularly.
But the winner is such an awesome player I'm legit excited to see what happens next.

When your character meets another character purely IC, you've never spoken to this player before in your life. And they just click. On the same wavelength, with the same views, you find yourself nodding as you read their posts, and an adversarial group scene turns into some action-flick movie moment where the two of you are back to back, firing on all cylinders. Yes.
-
A good experience on one place makes you really face your bad experience on another. And gives you the strength to let go of something that is making you miserable, because you continued to think that maybe it would somehow get better for you.
I get it now, how sometimes it's better to just stop logging into a game for your own health. Renewed realization to understand that if your presence on a particular game starts causing the worst parts of yourself to rear up, get out.

I was at the point of tears when it was pointed out to me that my event started without me. (I cannot seem to get the 24 hour clock + time zone differences right for some reason.)
But I logged on and another character who had zero idea why I was holding the event held down the fort for me, and everyone was so nice OOCly about my being 1.5 hours late to my own event.
So much gratitude. So. Much. Gratitude.

Daylight savings time happened recently in (some parts but not all of) the US. You are far from the only person right now struggling to figure out what the hell time it is at any given place. Don't even sweat that.
Racism isn't Tinkerbell. It doesn't need you to believe in it for it to exist.

@Derp Some parts of the US don't even know what century we're in, to be fair.

I had a really uncomfortable encounter with a player constantly hounding me in pages recently. When I brought it up to @Apos, he was pretty understanding and helped me to stop feeling like it might've been a "just me" thing and took care of it. I just wanted to say thank you for that, man. You're a really awesome guy.
-
When a player accepts their character's setbacks with grace and humor. Just excellent stuff.

Hitting it off with a stranger. Shy Goldfish counts these as blessings.
-
When you have three scenes on a Saturday and there are some good lolz in each of them. Thanks, @thesuntsar and @bear_necessities and @Snackness - and a couple people whose handles I dunno.

Games where what you do is important and your surname isn't. Games where time is relevant. Games where your titles are earned. Games where your writing skill carries more weight than who you're boning.

Agreed on all points. Unfortunately, "social" games do tend to weigh things like surname and cybersex / "romance" more than anything else. They're as political as real life, in all its high school-ness.

what game is this?? it sounds magical

@Kanye-Qwest Pretty much any RP-enforced game that isn't a MUSH.
It's funny that when I'm playing MUDs I sigh dramatically and say I want to play a political princess (don't judge me, that's my favorite thing ever) and fuck off to MUSH-land for a while.
But there's only so long before I want to control something. Build an empire, start a cult, start a war. Make a name for myself that matters not because it sounds cool, or is attached to power, but through sheer force of will, with no one's permission & on my own schedule.
Course, for me this means sucking it up and dealing with Havenites again, that's a Mu thing I do not love.

Write a book. Seriously. Doesn't have to be good.

Or start an actual cult. Mail order ministry is huge right now.

All you need is a FB page and instragram these days. Just scream and rant until you go viral.

@mietze Get a YouTube channel and call yourself an 'independent journalist.'
