Updated again. I was far too lazy to make a new one like it suggested.

I didn't really do RP but I was Jessie if anyone wants to keep in touch. I guess I just couldn't reconcile with being a perma-teen.

Currently, I'm on character application #1809 on Arx and I've had to do that special process for the violently email-less exactly zero times.

That's reassuring but hardly conclusive. I mean, setting aside the pages of MSB posts on the subject, I've personally spoken to people of the opinion that: "I simply won't play on a game that requires email registration". They're more likely to just walk away than to jump through extra hoops for a special process. They may be a minority (and hopefully diminishing over time as more of the younger generation comes in), but they do exist.

Yup, I know people who will not join Arx because of the email thing. I just use a throw away email for Arx

@Arkandel I like to CG things! It's like my fun. I /almost/ like it better than RP.

A friend /might/ be joining too. I'm not certain if he is. I'm not in any rush to make a ghoul since I'm only somewhat familiar with Vampires. The things I've heard so far makes it sound interesting and so far I've only heard good things about the game.

I was talking to a friend about how there is a lot of expectations to 'make it fun for someone else.' on GMs and players alike, with little regard for what they like. It is no secret I don't agree with this policy. Because, to me, what people find fun is very subjective. Being able to 'make it fun for someone else' involves knowing what they find fun and people aren't exactly forthcoming with that to new people.

So, for me, it is more about finding middle ground. For example I have friends who like everything about combat scenes. The planning, the battle, the aftermath, etc. All of it. I dislike it. I prefer the social, the occult, the non-combat stuff. They are not big on it. So, rather than make one of us miserable we try to find a place where it might not be 'OMG MY FAVORITE THING!' for us but we both have a decent amount of fun and, since we're friends, we occasionally subject ourselves to what we don't like to let them have their big fun. AKA one of my combat friends will hold a social event with me that involves raising funds for an upcoming battle or I will pick up a concept that is combat heavy and be part of their big fights and in those cases they usually don't mind making most of the combat stuff background noise for me.

So, my 'make it fun for me' is more about finding mutual grounds.

What about others? Do you think players should be the ones to entertain the GMs so they will throw plot to them? GMs have to leave their fun behind to entertain the players in their GMed scenes? Are oyu middle ground like me? Something else?

I totally put it in mildly constructive with the hopes it won't deteriorate into cuss words and insults because of disagreements

I believe there were only 2 Battimuses, yup. I think one married whats her face and the other did crazy things or something. Heck if I recall.

@tinuviel Truth in that. A bunch of friends and I made a krewe and a good percent of them lost interest because of the reset.

@darinelle I don't think the blank 'What do you want me to do now?!' is always just players expecting things to be handed to them. There are lots of people who really have no clue what's going on and how to feel like they are part of the game community. Or they have tried everything they can think of. Like, if you're someone who prefers throwing social events (A prayer group to honor a god, a fundraiser to help the orphans, etc) you might not realize other methods to be involved because it is not part of their thought process to, say, pick a fight with someone person who only gives information to a person that can beat him in fisty cuffs. There are also GMs and people in leadership positions that shut down anything a player tries to be involved so, they could be doing a last ditch effort to feel part of things.

One thing I have noticed about the mu* community (it could be very much just my experience) is that people don't like to OOCly, and sometimes ICly, they don't know how to approach a matter to make it enjoyable for those around them. Or those in leadership positions don't like to delegate things to others. Sure, President Isis might know how to create the best connections with Princess Liza but why can't she go 'Huh. Maybe I'll let Socialite Frank see if he can establish a good connection with the Princess.'

So, the not delegating can very much take away from the enjoyment of others because every one has a niche they would like to fill and if they aren't given a way to do that.. they're not going to have any idea how ot IC or OOC proceed with 'claiming that niche'.

I'm well aware my biggest flaw is that once I feel shut down/out I don't push to get involved, I simply stop and just do things with friends because, to me, it seems pointless to fight for involvement when it seems like the others don't want me involved. AKA. I am not an aggressive 'go getter.'

I'm game! Just prod me on Steam or here when you're ready.

The Firefly verse has cannibals. They are terrors.

I like suggestions from @Apos . Seems better than what to do and not do OOC sociallly. Even on the same game what is and isn't accepted can vary from group to group.

jane3_janey#6628 - Let me know who you are after I accept or I'll likely delete you. I'll probably forget but at least I'll know you are not a spammer or scammer.

@somasatori totally made magic for me on my wiki for my mu*. He is the best He made it pretty toooo. I'm so happy

So all my broken is fixed due to his awesome skills.

I don't know if it notifies when downvoted (I don't pay 100% attention) but it does when upvoted. IS there anyway to add an option to turn the upvote on posts notification off or on? Or can a option to be able to do so be added?

Like if @Rook upvotes a post I made can it be told not to tell me he did? (I totally used @Rook because his post is the one I am seeing above this topic creating window).

I am kinda interested in trying this out. Is there a particular available Archetype that people would really like to see? If I pick based on my whim I'll just end up randomly not doing much.

It has been pointed out previously that it is unlikely those sorts will stay on the game. The people who want to PvP will go somewhere else.

It does the same with me on Chrome. I just reload.

An alternate solution is to set all private residents unfindable, automatically making them unfindable, and all public rooms unfindable. So, like, homes could be set unfindable but any room in a business are not. Then it keeps privacy in tact as well as leaves it clear for public locations to be known and keeps private locations private.

Now that I've thought of this.. I will need to ask @Rook to feex +where to reflect this because he does my code magic when he can.

I now want to see a Werewolf Wrestling Federation. I will totally be a ring girl.
