@Ganymede

Fair enough, and in hindsight it wasn't my question to ask but, like I said, I was curious.

I wasn't offended or bothered at all, if it helps, or makes a difference. I have no problems with being questioned, or having to prove myself.

If you ever want to talk a little more in-depth, feel free to PM me, and I can try and answer any questions you like, to the best of my ability.

You don’t need to explain your apology to anyone. The apology is just fine.

Thanks Ganymede. I just, really want to be part of the MUSH community again.

But you almost escaped!

I guess it's true; there's nobody here but us crazies.

So true, I guess one never fully overcomes an addiction. XD

@Kitty-Kat I don't know you. I've never played on any of your games, but I have heard the name of Lilith spouted on here before in less than flattering light.

For what it is worth, it takes guts to come here and do what you did. I applaud you for not only taking the time to work on yourself, but to (wo)man up and take responsibility for previous actions. Good on you! I hope the new you finds happiness in what you seek.

I don't know how y'all keep track of these names and which one belongs to which person on which game.

Lilith is as generic a moniker for female PCs as it gets. I can barely remember the names of my own alts on games I actually played on a few months ago let alone what identity someone else's names correspond to.

That's lowkey impressive.

Seriously, @Kitty-Kat here's watcha do.

Create a login on a game
Don't go "HEY EVERYONE ITS ME RED QUEEN AKA LILITH AKA THAT PERSON YOU THINK IS POLARIZING"
If someone asks you where you've played or who you are in RL/MSB, say (quote me on this if you need to): "I'm sorry, I don't share personal information with players. I am 100% up for fun, though!"

(in fact, now that I've posted this on MSB, literally everyone can assume it isnt you who is saying it, because if you copy/paste this line verbatim, it could be that anyone else coming by the thread chose to use it.)

Be nice to people

Arkandel · May 28, 2019, 2:15 PM

Lol yes.

But really, keeping yourself anonymous on games has been an uphill battle for 30 years for anyone who does the Social Thing at all on a MU (which is most people). Ares is just trying a different approach of encouraging (but not requiring) transparency instead of whisper-campaigns of "I wonder if that's so and so from such and somewhere."

Auspice · May 28, 2019, 2:54 PM

I take the opposite approach to Ghost.

I love the guy but I disagree with him on this. For sort of the reason Faraday points out. I am open with who I am. Then there's none of the whispering and wondering. If people wanna avoid me, they can avoid me. If they want me off their game for the sheer fact that I exist they can do so.

But then there's also no chance that some poor sod is gonna get discriminated against because 'Well they said something that seems like something Auspice would say so I'm gonna assume it's her and we should all treat her like shit now as a result'

Ghost · May 28, 2019, 2:55 PM

@faraday Right. It's one of two approaches and I'm not saying it's wrong. Trying to promote positive social communication and a means to keep the actual bad people (abusive players, stalkers) identified is totally noble.

I will say, though, I think the beauty of my suggested anonymous approach lies in a few key points:

If you're nice and role-play fair, everyone wins
It exits you from the negative social networking game
(key) if people are unwilling to role play with you (someone who just wants to be nice and have fun!) without personal information or a resume of who you are on every game ever, then those people have effectively become the torch-bearer for everything they claim to hate about mushing. (IC/OOC blending, exclusive behavior, etc)
it takes away mean people's ability to target you as a person. They may still target your charbit, but then doing so can be tracked as a matter of off-site bullying and taken up with staff as a complaint.

Am I gonna post the gif?

Yup.

It's a good thing I'm no longer an admin. I'd warn you for overuse of that damn gif. It's becoming an eyesore.
