Even when you expect it, rejection from a job application still fucking hurts.

@ThugHeaven said in RP Ice Breakers:

At the risk of sounding like an old fogey gen-xer: there once was a time when you'd page someone(or they'd page you)and say "Hey! Wanna do a scene?"

They or you would agree or not, the person already there would set the scene and you'd go from there or find someone else to do a scene with.

Things were so much easier then.

To go even older and fogery, I remember when people would congregate to public spaces and RP without having to page and or search for RP. You just walk into a place, and there was RP. I find that few and far between now, even among 'faction' hangouts like Turs and Elysium...etc (WoD for terms/flavor, but not limited to that specific genre).

@Arkandel The answer that pops into my head is just have everyone treat her like any other female employee would be treated?

I'm not gonna lie, I would play this just for the shear absurdity of it all.

RIP Tim Conway, the elephant story is still fucking hilarious...

This is the only unsolicited dick pic I ever send:

I took a 13-hour drive just to get out of the house, drive up to the Sequoia National forest, drive-through and not get out of the car, then drive home...just so I could crack the windows and smell the fresh air and trees.

@TiredEwok said in Empire State Heroes Mush:

Now, that said, I think the rules about how you can't mention someone in your app/RP who is an important part of your character's background by name is pretty fucking asinine. First off, most of the support characters, like Alfred or a parental unit or whatever, rarely get apped. Secondly, if you app a character like Alfred, Aunt May, Helena Sandsmark, etc, you have to do so with the understanding that you are apping a character who is an important part of another FC's life and may have been NPCed and/or had things established in the other FC's background (like being related to the other character) and/or in RP.

I mean, I do have to kinda agree here. Not being able to talk about a character's support characters is pretty restrictive. I mean, sure, you can get around it by saying things like 'Oh I wonder if the butler has made the tea.." or 'You know my Aunt did this thing the other day..", but we all know who they would be talking about.

@mietze I just went through this myself. In the last year I have found both my biological father and my biological mother.

My biological father didn't know I existed, and was really happy to find out about me (as was his wife and other children).

My biological mother seemed excited at first when I contacted her, but more recent attempts to try to connect seem to be met with less than enthusiastic reception. I was hoping that I might get to develop a relationship with her since my Mom (the only one I knew about till recently) just passed a few months ago.

Both of them live within 30 miles of each other. One of these days I am planning on heading out to Oklahoma to meet them in person (or at least my bio-dad who really seems receptive to the idea).

Good luck to you!

I don't know Mage. I have never played 1st CoD, 20th WoD, or 2ed CoD. I'd be interested to learn, so maybe I will take a look at this when it gets off the ground.

I'd be down for this...

Lost my job today...while I was on vacation. Called me to tell me, wheefun.

Anyone know of need for a react front end developer?

The moment you're a little out of it, and post something very private, in the wrong discord server.

I caught it right away, but..hello rush of heart pounding anxiety

That's one way to wake up...nice shot of adrenaline there.

@runescryer Having been a Moon Knight fan for quite some time, I was very happy with what they did with the series so far and how they portray Marc vs Steven. I wonder if we will get a Jake in there as well, but I doubt it.
