A couple people said their MO is to open a game for like 6 months, get bored, and open another one. I think Lantern Hill was one? I've definitely never played on one of their other games, so someone else will have to confirm.

This shit honestly baffles me. Just...run a private game if this is what you want to do. There's nothing wrong with that, you'll take zero flack for it, it's a far more appropriate way to do some types of campaigns. Why open a public game when you don't actually want to run one?

If there isn't an audience for your coolness, does it really happen?

What is the sound of one hand fapping?

Just listen to the sound of your average mush and you'll hear it fairly reliably.

It softly goes "shang, shang, shang"

@surreality Seems like a perfectly legitimate prospect. I think I will attend this van of wonders.

surreality · Feb 13, 2018, 5:20 AM

@mr-johnson Am tempted to put that up on the site I'm working on as the 'no, there's nothing here yet' image. I think it will inspire an appropriate level of confidence. Y/N?

Mr.Johnson · Feb 13, 2018, 5:31 AM

@surreality Dude, I think it'll inspire a world of confidence that you'll hardly find with any other similar image. I am fully and completely for the idea of using it.

@theonceler I knooowww. If you are on Arx or Fallcoast, you can hassle me for RPs there!

TheOnceler · Feb 13, 2018, 5:52 AM

Out of respect for the staff and potential new players on StF, I have moved this post to the Hogpit thread.

Okay, I promised I'd make a longer post.

I've already shared plenty in this thread and the advertisement thread, but I've got a couple of things that really bug me so I'll cover them.

Just a note that this is actually the advertisement thread. Looks like the Hog Pit thread is here if people want to go at it!

Mr.Johnson · Feb 13, 2018, 6:00 AM

@theonceler Oh you did not disappoint friend, this is the kind of juicy drama I crave! You've exceeded my incredibly high expectations. (Alright maybe not incredibly high, but they were at least a bar at waste level.)

surreality · Feb 13, 2018, 6:03 AM

@roz ...fuck, I completely lost track. <wince> Sorry, y'all.

soundofserenity · Feb 13, 2018, 4:10 PM

@quinn I was Aya on that game, and I know exactly the plot you are talking about, too. It ended up feeling like quite the letdown when the rando came in and took all of the tension out of the scene (the threat wouldn't be out of place in a Goosebumps episode, but I was getting into it the vibe of the thing). Paged the staff to present the problems as I saw them, at the time. Had a hard time logging in after that night, though.

But alas. A lot of fun potential in the game. In spite of everything, I think it was the most successful of the 'horror' games that I have played in my MUSH life.

Is it really an advertisement thread anymore if a game is dead?

How do you advertise for something that doesn't exist?

Quinn · Feb 13, 2018, 4:31 PM

@soundofserenity Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what got us all talked to. But instead of a constructive conversation, it was just all over the place accusatory "why do you hate the game/why do you hate Griffin" etc. Just for me and the other girl, though. The guy that got talked to about it got a very different conversation, funnily enough.

Is the game actually down or just declared dead?

We don't have a policy about this, but I'd have no issue locking an ad thread for a dead port. However since there's a Hog Pit thread, y'all can just fire your phasers there.

Quinn · Feb 13, 2018, 4:39 PM

It's down as of last week. Staff announced they were closing it, then they closed it.

Arkandel · Feb 13, 2018, 4:42 PM

Locked since the MUX is down. Please use other threads to discuss this game.
