Now if only they'd throw out Sirens and realize none of us want to see the Suicide Squad version of Harley continue.

Or at least I don't.

Give us Birds of Prey maybe? Like, we wanna talk Batgirl, let's fast forward to Oracle-era Babs.

@blackdahlia said in Setup from Zero:

fatal error: mysql.h: No such file or directory

Sounds like you may not have MySQL / resulting libraries installed. I'd look at MariaDB, personally, but ultimately what you use is up to you.

Again, I suggest going back to start, looking through what all dependencies/libraries you need and getting them in place.

I guess a greater question might also be:

what's your overall setup? What sort of machine are you setting this up on?

Make sure you have all the required libraries (like gcc++ as mentioned above) first. Otherwise you're just going to keep going down the list, back and forth, installing things as you hit errors.

Decoded: Rogue

Relevant since we were discussing roguelikes the other day.

If Ameeko adapted yellow, it might be because I was active as hell and people found my RP on her amusing. She was nuts, but not in the way of usual Singers. She was just kind of... naive, almost? A lot of older Singers sort of wanted to adopt her.

(And then I ran away from the game for a while because one got so obsessed over me / her that they'd throw huge tantrums if I dared RP with anyone else. >.> )

But I do think she may have had a 'higher' adaptation also because she didn't have one of the hallucinatory adapts but more just felt like she had a bad case of the flu.

... a lot of me wants to play again just to be an asshole to Singers on Bob tho.

@buttercup That dog looks like Hitler.

You just invoked Godwin's Dog.

I think you meant Dogwin's Law.

“The longer a conversation on the Internet, the chances of someone invoking puppies reaches 1.”

When you say 'stumbled,' what exactly do you mean?

Do you have any output errors? Or do you simply have no response from the server?

One thing to make sure is that your game's files all have the right permissions. Sometimes if you just dropped everything into the server (or droplet or whatever you're using), they ended up read-only and you'll need to go through and adjust them to be writeable (and in the case of ones like configure, Startmux, etc... executable as well).

I was Ameeko (Singer), Bob (Tuner - I've spent years suggesting people use the name, so I finally did :P), and J.... shit, I forget my Sorter's name. On Crystal Dreams I was Teallan (Singer) and Silt (Sled Tech).

My Claim Notes were a bit more defined:

Running list as:
<Name>, by <credit>
<description of what you see from the sky>

Then further down I'd have:
<Name>, by <credit>
<hint if any>
<first room desc>
<directions to solve>

Black was generally assigned, yes. I don't think white and yellow were. Maybe they were at some time. I think I actually suspected Ameeko of being yellow-attuned (I'd have to double-check my spreadsheet; it's still in my Google Docs).

And so is my 'claim notes' sheet and some of them do have the view from above marked as 'DO NOT LAND HERE.'

I busted my ass on my Singer to get a perfect on the Sled qualification tests

Oh man, the challenge of outdoing everyone else in quals as a recruit. Because those top tens. I remember the day I managed to actually beat one of the sorting cartons that everyone was convinced could not have a better solution was a goddamn crowning moment for me.

And that's if everything went well. If something screwed up, you could crash, damage your sled, break your cutter, or what have you - which would require additional rp since no one classification could do everything - Singers sang, Sled Techs worked on Sleds, Cutter Techs worked on Cutters, Medics worked on Singers. If you got coded damage to your gear, or to yourself, you couldn't do anything until one of the support staff cleared it for you.

Ameeko was always, always hurt. My ADD made me terrible at actually... not crashing. usually with a sled full of crystal. I'd increase altitude, get distracted by something, go too high, engines would cut out... and crashing with a sled full of crystal was a bad thing. A very bad thing.

But based on the spreadsheets I was running, I'm pretty sure she was a blue affinity, so. Y'know. A little crazy.

I also had a sorter and a tuner. My tuner on CM was an ass because he felt he was DUE adapting Singer, but he ultimately settled into being tuner because well you guys fucked up this Crystal so obviously I need to fix it. And my Sorter went to the planet because she was blind and it fixed her.

I mean, there's a lot of potential, I think. It's a game that really focuses more on interpersonal stuff, so if you can't handle that and absolutely need plot fed to you all the time it is definitely not a game that's for you.

Us sled techs got a lot of RP out of being assholes to the Singers. Tho my sled tech was on CDM, not Crystal MUSH.

But even so, I was never wanting for RP on her.

@killer-klown said in CrystalMUSH:

One of the things they used to do, with regards to the plots, was have a number of different planets where Singers could go on 'vacation' <and ignored the conceit in the books that only Singers left the planet - any member of the Guild could on the game>. These planets were run by players, both OOC in terms of building and setting up the theme and IC in terms of 'governing' them, though other players could have been originally from said planets (Much the same as in Changeling games where one player could create a Keeper for their PC, but other PC's could tie into it later on). The planet leaders usually ran plots or hosted plots that other players wanted to have run on their respective vacations.

I was so lazy about Ameeko's planet. I never even built it out. But I assumed no one cared about vacationing on a planet of monks who took in the universe's orphans. >.>

But overall it was basically RP plus hey here's these coded things you can do in your free time. Which is the opposite of MUD which is more kill X and I guess you can RP sometimes if you want, weirdo.

It finally happened: Billy Graham dead at 99.
