If you are perceived as having bias then you should no longer staff.

So I'm going to disagree with that point, because I'm 110% positive that every staff on every game is at some point perceived as having a bias.

It's true. Run a MU long enough (and in this case, long enough is not long) and somebody will be bound to accuse you of bias.

But I figure Gany really meant 'if it's reasonable for reasonable people to perceive you as biased.' Somewhat like how cops can search your house if they perceive it as a likely crime scene, but said perception has to be something like a trail of blood leading to your door. The way your eyeliner gives Officer Fuckley the creeps won't cut it.

It's certainly a bad idea to dismiss any/all perception of bias. Fuckley being weird about eyeliner and a liar does not mean that Andy and Barney Fife don't really see blood.

Among my year's bumper crop of stupid shit said to me about MUs was that problems on MUs are "almost always just player perception." It wasn't a thanks captain obvious, yes, everything about games is pretty much about player perception, perceiving oneself to be having fun is the point kinda stupid, they meant that player perceptions are wrong and the problems not real.

I restored all your previously deleted posts in this thread. If you want to re-delete any or all of them, go for it.

Even more on this: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57325653

A lot of people are demanding Canada Day be cancelled (Yeah, yeah, today is Canada Day) but I'm not of that mind. I think people should celebrate Canada but also add an Orange Shirt to the mix and take some time to honor all the children lost. I've never been a fan of forcing people to mourn something because its not genuine then. But, anyone (Canadian or not, Native or Not) who would wear an Orange Shirt today, I would ❤ but I'm not demanding it. I would rather it be a choice not an obligation. Even better if it is extended to be worn on July 4th as well, to honor the American Natives who have faced the same thing.

@Ominous It can be hard to stay signed up for, though. I signed up and within an hour, having yet to post anything, found myself shadow banned. After waiting for a week on a response to my inquiry to customer support I went 'fuck it, they obviously don't want my clicks.'

@Ganymede

It /seems/ like staff is trying to do updating and the like to their stuff. So, maybe it will some what fix things? Not sure!

Just an update (probably the final one as a game development post before ad goes up).

All the code is almost done. My coder says about allt hat is left is generators I want in CG for people who don't like to write background/descs/whatever and for those who don't like doing stats. Basically, my coder who has the patience of a saint, has made it, by my asking, so that players can take a roster, do CG and use a generator for the parts they don't like (or everything), or just trail through CG as normal.

For at least the neutral city the grid is built just needs describing still. We're working on it, It will be expanded to include other kingdoms but those are not dire to opening the game. Especially since I want to, at least at the start, have every reason for people of other kingdoms to be interacting. I'll probably start the game off with some reason all the kingdoms are in the neutral city, including PC family heads. I'll chat with my staff for thoughts on what a good reason could be.

For the first two weeks after Atharia is open, I'm letting people be able to modify the information on their family of choice excluding royal families (since those affect theme stuff). Basically, anything about them. Probably the only exception being the house colors and coat of arms. Mainly because the coat of arms took me a long time to do.

I'm going to be forthcoming with the major plots planned by staff. Not the details just a 'title' for what it is about. Titles like 'Finding Nemo' or 'Save the prince!'. I'm not going to be set on 'This plot is next!' but more of going towards what of the planned plots (if any) the players focus on going down the path of. I'd rather run do things people join because it is interesting not because it is fells an obligation because staff plot. Staff (and players) can absolutely run things of interest to them to run and staff will do what we can to provide hooks into the main theme stuff. Also open to plot suggestions.

We would not object people who would like to come test CG to give us thoughts on how the points are and what not. So far only my coder and I have tested them. Combat stuff is also needing more than just us testing but this is not dire or anything. We /think/ we got it all in a pretty good place.

@Alamias Uhhh. I believe a friend of mine is going pilot so a mechanic type could be good but that isn't something I'm set on stone about. I'm for whatever you think would be fun. There is medical stuff going in the game so there is also being a doctor or medical type. Mmm. I've got, at least, 1 gunslinger. If you want to play a more classy type could be a noble that is basically paying my character and her crew to be a personal charter or play a companion who travels with us. There's 3 of us, so far (maybe 4, depends on if the person in CG finishes) so there is plenty of room to find a niche that appeals to you the most.

I'm trying to give ideas that make sense for being part of a ship in the Firefly 'verse without making it seem like you /have/ to play something that you might not enjoy.

@icanbeyourmuse I might be interested! Lemme look at the website.

@derp Nah, the cat is a public defender and he's taking the only five seconds free he has all year to nap.

We've got about 7 of us doing a goup thing for MArsilikos.

IF you got Discord and want to join he party. You can dd me on Discord. Just let me know you want in.

We made a server (for the sake of name changings stuff): https://discord.gg/EQRGrmr

Where people need to grow the fuck up is in accepting that fun of others is just as important as their own. If everybody was reasonable about this, drama would take a nosedive like you on your SO.

I don't disagree, but I think you misunderstand how busy our lives are with kids, work, school, elections, and so on. If I took a nosedive, I'd probably fall the fuck asleep.

That's what she said.

HEEYYOOOOOOO!

Only she didn't.

Because she, too, was asleep.

@mercutio Mm, probably. It would also be easy to use the exact same values, but resolve in a different way.

In case anyone is wondering, BESM uses a simple roll the die under your stat value, which is a common way of doing things really. However, to change power scales they just increase the die size. So your detective who used to make their human scale investigation checks 7 out of 10 times might now make it 7 out of 20 times in a super human game.

Yup. We're not stopping anyone from joining. We've decided on our founders, though. And we've got a pretty solid story for the krewe details.

Fallcoast has pretty good Sin Eater sphere that is always active and has lots of plot and interaction. It also has Immortals and most other templates but if you are looking for Sin Eater it is the best place to go. The sphere is also pretty helpful. Oh yeah, also has Possessed with quite a few players 🙂

@thenomain said in Crunchyroll Guest Pass:

Yes please. A doctor friend of mine highly recommends Blood Cells At Work.

It's good!

Seems I already own it and have no idea how or when. Must have come with something else I got. Thanks though. Someone else claim it.
