Well, shit.
It was largely because of @Sunny that I was going to give Kushiel's Debut a look, likely over my enforced summer vacation in Canada. Now it looks like the staff and its fellating hangers-on are exactly the wrong fit for me.
Fuck.
@WTFE There are plenty of other games to play. PM me sometime and let me know what you're looking for and I'll see if one of the places I'm playing on might suit you for RP.

This is what bums me out as well. The theme isn't really my bag, but she'd been such a booster of the game here that it was on my 'should really give a look when I have brainspace' list. Even from afar, this is the kind of break that's depressing.

Same goes for you, @Three-Eyed-Crow.

@VulgarKitten Well, the perception on my part is that you saw an opportunity to pick on someone you clearly don't like for reasons you've clearly been holding onto for a while. I could absolutely be wrong, but those airs are fairly palpable.
If I was looking for an opportunity to do that, it could have been done many times over before now. I saw something hypocritical (to me) and I called bullshit. I would do that to people I like, too. And again, I'll point out the fact that I didn't bring up the reasons I dislike her until she herself went on the attack over that stuff.
Your assumption is like me saying, gee Shlappy, you clearly do like her and you saw an opportunity to pick on someone who clearly doesn't out of loyalty to your friend. I could absolutely be wrong, but those airs are fairly palpable.
I feel like this is apt. And hilarious. Start at about the 3:20 mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHMoDt3nSHs
@VulgarKitten That would be an entirely fair statement had I picked on you at all, so far. Which I have not! I just wanted to bring the conversation back to the game that this thread is about.
While I wasn't around back then, I will say that @sunny put a LOT of work into getting people involved on KD. This is an irrefutable fact. What did or did not happen on another game doesn't have any bearing here. Your lack of perspicacity does not equal hypocrisy.
So by drudging up an event from 2 years ago from a game that is no longer around in its previous incarnation without having actually been involved or informed of the current situation, you're doing a lot more assuming than you are forming educated opinions on what actually took place on this particular game during a time period you are not familiar with.

Have you read any of the thread? Or did you just tune in in the last page? Let me point you back to the video just above your post for my response to your lack of sagacity.
@VulgarKitten And I'm done talking to you. No offense, but I honestly just can't be arsed. You're a chore. Please do enjoy the thread, though.
@Shlappy I'll try not to lose any sleep over it.
This stuff was my first taste of a whole 'nother style of Chinese hooch. See, there are three main branches of hooch here: the "sauce scented" (醬香) variety most famously known via Maotai, the "strong scented" (瀘香 or 濃香), and the "light scented" (汾香) variety. There are other varieties, naturally. The picture of the red bottles I'm taking back to Canada with me, for example, is the progenitor breed of its own category: "phoenix scented" (凤香), and there's dozens of other kinds. The Big Three, however, are the three I named.
This bottle is of the "strong scented" variety. As with the other stuff (the "phoenix scented" stuff) this stuff is unctuous as all fuck. It has an almost slippery mouthfeel. Unlike the phoenix scented stuff, though, this is all high and sweet notes. It lacks the breadth of flavour of the Shaanxi-originated stuff, but for that the flavour in its range is more intense.
I don't recall exactly what the ABV is, but it's either 50% or 52%. Again, this stuff is going to knock your brain cells into submission before you know what hit you. It's great stuff, especially when reading things like @VulgarKitten taking such pains to explain in great detail exactly how little he cares. At length.
I will take three.
You have a death wish then, do you? (I think one bottle would kill.)
Probably. But I mean, if I ever get brain-cancer I now know how I am going out. I'll take three. Mostly to stare at, sometimes to sniff. Probably to never drink, unless I ever read shit like these past few pages again.
I've come to accept that people in this forum are very specifically targeting my brain cells by forcing me to drink this stuff.

So share, motherfucker.
No! It's my brain damage juice!
I'll share this with you instead, OK?
I think I have had that before. It seems familiar, in a, 'I was drunk and drank something in front of me.' kind of way.
I honestly don't know if there are other games with better possibilities. I mean, lets parse this out as to what is available this summer...
You can play any of the following
Same old Vampire-fuckery/mage buggery/Geist huggery that goes on any available nWoD MU* that usually takes place somewhere in the Yankee USA.
Go play teen version of LOST on AnomalyMUSH.
Shadowrun...meh
The Westeros MUSHes.
I think people need to pick their battles and just start having their own metaplots with each other in games. Give hambeasts the power you think they deserve. Or simply go and sandbox on MUS*H or OGR.
I think all we really need is to close ALL GAMES and make one giant melting pot game so we lords and ladies lovers can go smack the fuck out of those WoD and Westeros bitches.
Well, shit.
