      14 days without any flagged content on MSB.

      I appreciate that, folks.

      You have no idea how tempting it is to flag this post.

          @Arkandel ...but are we sure it isn't just the flagging broke in some update or another is what I'm dying to know here.

          Oh fucking well.

            Oh, I can positively verify flagging works since a whole bunch of people gave it their all just now. 😛

              going to go do something to maintain notes on a thing and finding out someone already did it and did it better than I could have.

              I especially love it because I think it is because they are excited about this thing, that I hooked them into, and that is just lovely.

              (Yes, this also turned into a humble brag. sorry not sorry.)

                      tmw you realize that virtually any mush scenario you spitball has an accompanying music number from either "Galavant" or "Crazy Ex Girlfriend".

                        Honestly, I have no idea how Galavant got green-lit in the first place, much less how it managed a second season. I consider that a gift from the universe.

                          God damn if that isn't the nicest fucking thing I've heard all day. I built a group thing and people like it. I made this person happy and gave them a story to play with. Moments like this make all the crap and drama and stress worth it.

                            More love! I'm in a loving mood I guess.

                            Confession: I love creeping people out (IC, in non Weinstein ways).

                            I had a scene recently where my plutocratic character invited a SJW-type character to dinner, to discuss business. (Non romantic.) The latter chose the place — a high-end establishment. Upon sitting down my character proceeded to gossip and smirk about how the wine list leaves much to be desired, and then I had her summon the waiter to insist that they'd like to order something off the menu, using her reputation and position of power to justify it.

                            I love getting a certain reaction out of people, when it's entirely intentional, of 'Wow your character is awful'. Like yes, thank you and well done for noticing she's awful! That's intentional! I'm glad I could be of service in making your skin crawl at the existence of these types of people.

                            This is a quirk, right? Am I weird for getting a kick out of this?

                              @Kestrel Oh, no way. HorrorMu's cyclical nature has given me the nerve to play characters that do things that are mean, off-putting, mildly sexist/racist, vain, and just plain annoying. I wouldn't do that in a long game only because I can't sustain it very well (I'm too nice or something?) but those moments when I am typing up something totally obnoxious and it gets the response I wanted. Mmm. Best feeling you can get for free.

                              Am I the baddie?
                              Yes. Always yes.

                                In a hobby of people pretending to be vampires and elves? Hahahaahahaha. Hardly. Revel knowing you're playing a compelling character.

                                  You could play a perfectly well adjusted, well behaved, normal likable person who does everything right. Those are a blast to play with.

                                        Man, people were so pissed when I broke their characters.

                                        People I'm still talking to today are people who enjoyed it and broke mine back.

                                          Short and sweet.

                                          I like writing vignettes or one-shots or solo pieces with or about my character.

                                          I love games that let me share those.

                                            @Goldfish I love doing this too! It's one of my favorite things. LOVELOVELOVE. And when I have a vignette that I wrote a year prior, and it is suddenly relevant and I get to share it with people like BOOM!

                                            And they like it?

                                            IS THE BEST IS SO GOOD IS HAPPIFYING.
