SerenityMUSH – Still Flyin'
-
SerenityMUSH has been around for nearly two decades now while the short-lived TV show it’s based on has retained a loyal fan following and new material is still being published. Many people have come and gone and most of the old guard and admin team have moved on, but there’s still a small loyal playerbase around, supported by new staff members, who are intent on keeping the mush alive.
We invite former players and anyone interested in a Serenity-themed MUSH to come check us out!

If you have an old character, they might still exist (talk to staff for help with password recovery). Of course, anyone can start with a fresh character. Email serenitymush.com@gmail.com with any questions. Staff members are trying to be online daily to help with any queries.
Come join us in Joss Whedon’s incredible and undying ‘verse!

I heard this game was legendary in its corruption and horrible staff. Is that true?
-
The game does have a bit of a reputation, due to negative situations in the past. Most of the staff and players who were considered part of that, are no longer around on the game.
The admins today are here to help how we can, not to tip the game balance. Things are calm and quiet these days (too quiet), and we want to get a fresh start with people who are interested in being reasonable with each other, and having fun together.

So who's heading up the game now, then?
-
Fanty's in charge now. Mal and Inara have left.
Wash and Dobson are still around, and there's a new River and Zoe to help out.

That's the key information.

@BetterJudgment Yes, they've left. But the game will forever have their stank on it. They're better off just starting fresh and making a new game. It's like trying to rent out a house after the previous tenants shit all over the floors and wiped it on the walls. Sure, you can clean it. But you'll always know it was there.

Prob better to make a discussion thread for this post.
Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.

Can I play a psychic space cannibal?

The Firefly verse has cannibals. They are terrors.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm, willful ignorance or a statement of the belief Fanty's specific type of corruption was A-Ok.

@Alzie - I've responded over here.

Reavers are not open for chargen, and Readers (psychics) are not open at this time either.

Yeah... UNPLAYABLE terrors. Woe.

@Jennkryst - the trouble with Reavers is that they really don't work as long-term characters. Put them in a scene, and violence and death ensues for one or both sides. That's why we don't allow them in chargen.
We could at some point consider having a few NPC Reavers run by players for a specific plot. Note that I say could and consider. It would have to be set up properly, and we'd want to know that the players are respectful (so that when violence and death ensue, people won't immediately draw knives OOCly).
So c'mon over and establish a regular character, if you don't have one already, play with us for a while and then let's talk.

This seems to be how it works for just about every antagonist faction, whether or not overt violence is written into their theme. Mu-ers take it into overtly violent levels at the drop of a hat no matter what game system you're using. With something like Reavers, I can see that getting turned up to 11 fast. 'WE MUST PURGE THE GALAXY OF THIS THREAT EVERYONE GO!'

Eh, I probably still have my old Alliance char through merit of never going back to remove the vacation flag. But lazy.
Edit to add: the fact that you guys still run HSpace might actually entice me, since every other space game are run by cowards who hide from flying ships. COWARDS I SAY.
