I'm pretty pleased about that. Every time I see you asking for RP and not getting it, I worry you're gonna fuck off. >.>
Hah. Good luck. When Changeling comes I'm literally going to just start RPing in the OOC room until someone drags me out of it to scene with me. SO MANY IDEAS.

I am hearing bits and pieces about it from Judy on my bus ride home.
I'm in that awkward first few weeks of a character phase where you have to wriggle around a bit schizophrenically, like the last few seconds of putting on a glove before it fits just right. But I think I'm getting the hang of Yvette!

I wonder if I sohuld remake my sand elemental or something. I've never been able to succeed at Changeling though. Like I make a bit and then just go meh. And don't play it.

THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE MUSH
Would anyone be interested in playing a sire to Nev? I warn that I play sporadically on most games (I haven't even scened yet here yet :[...). But someone who can be disapproving and always oh-so-disappointed with Nev would be fun to play off of.

Everyone is tempting me!
@Cobaltasaurus Bees?

Where things are SUPER complex to code, we do notes (like you wouldn't want to code in something for Professional Training that automatically sets contacts and specialties and stuff; in a video game taking PT would open a wizard of some sort to do that but in a MU* that's not as practical).
I mean I've seen MUDs do that, they drop you into an editor where they present you with options, you record your answers to the prompts and once the editor closes it runs all the things you selected and apply them. I've never seen a MUSH do it, but I bet if someone really wanted to you could code an editor like that in.

@Melpomene Staff too lazy to check XP and prereqs, got it. Which is annoying, but it is what it is.
Like, doublepost, and I don't wanna be a dick, but tbh this post right here has me kinda infuriated, ngl.
Sorry, I meant it to just be a half-joke, and did a dumb. I don't mean to say you specifically were being lazy, but rather the royal/generic gestures at everything you. Still! Please let me clarify.
It's not lazy so much as not the same degree of scrutiny I normally dealt with staffing in the long-long ago. I mean... maybe it's because the last time I did the full-on staff thing, it was for Shadowrun: Denver during that one time with that one guy. But I combed through everything. And from my experience, shadowrun players were very vocal explaining where they got X or Y bonus to a thing from, or how they arrived at the numbers they did. And if they didn't, I'd ask how they got there. Because I am dumb.
To say nothing of like. Equipment requests. Fuck shadowrun equipment requests. Shadowrun is an equipment-heavy system. Want to learn a spell? You need either an item or a teacher. Want to install some cybernetics? You need the equipment in-hand, or an NPC to buy it from. Want to change the tires on your car? Well.. show me your car item, and show me the new tires.
"When was your last skill raise? Check log Okay, you're past the cool-down time, skill is raised!" "What page of what book is this gun from? checks book Hey, this math is wro... what's that? House rule page? checks HR Huh. Cool. Go forth and shoot a ton of gangers!" "You... you are spending 100 units of Orichalcum on this magic sword? looks at inventory You have HOW MANY TONS OF MAGIC GOLD?!? Okay, fuck it, why not."
Because everything was logged. So I wanted to make sure there weren't any screw-ups on my part. I wanted no screw-ups because there was a leader board, and damnit, I was going to score higher than everyone else on staff. Combined.
So doing all of the requests, I just kind of... osmosis-memorized a lot of the stuff. Which is why I mostly volunteer for the XP or equipment types of gruntwork on games I obsess over. I'm going above and beyond that for Mummy because zomg mummy fun times everyone else are cowards for refusing them wrap everyone in ace bandages.
Me, re: changelings.
@Jennkryst I have to admit I love Shadowrun: Denver's systems. I often times log in just to make characters with their character creator but I was never really able to find a group of people to play with with the two characters I did make and get approved. I never Staffed back in the day on WoD or Shadowrun games but as a player I enjoyed the discourse back and forth with justifications with Staff because it felt like sitting down with a tabletop GM and discussing things out to explain why and how. Things now adays feel so impersonal especially since most Staff are no longer story-tellers.

Shadowrun: Denver's Systems
I would pay real money for their voucher code, if it could work on other games. For real for real. It's just AMAZING.
@Jennkryst I have seen a handful of other MUSHs way back in the day use that voucher system, even a recent WoD game had a version of it but I don't remember the name of the game or who was coding it.
So, I’m making a vampire here. He needs a crew. Anyone interested in becoming part of a misfit, semi-successful pirate and smuggling ring, let me know.
