Here's one I can't decide: Jeffrey Dean Morgan

After looking him up, I'd go with Modern.

@surreality Its... MSB-ception!

For all that people on MU*s, here, etc. may lash out at me sometimes?

My boss just contacted me: 'I was just reviewing some of your tickets and customer feedback on one just about made me choke.'
Me: 'Oh no.'
Boss: 'I quote: 'You suck. Eat shit and die.' ...it's not your fault they couldn't find the right button.'

Other than one person -- in 19 years -- no one's said anything like that to me. But I get feedback like that from customers at my job on, well, a pretty regular basis. So hats off to MU*ing.

@tek

It's aaaaaall cool. I figured I'd post the announcement rather than share specifics. It's your call if you want to share your side (since it happened to you!).

Sharing the bbpost here. This was not the same person as DownWithOPP.

Bennett Banned Leviathan
Announcements (1/23) Mon Nov 27, 2017 11:21pm

Bennett has been banned from the game due to breaking the TOS, specifically, for metagaming, for harassing another player, and for not seeing that his behavior was a problem when Staff talked with him about it.

@misadventure My eyes are blue.

Fine. Soulless unblinking blue eyes. Happy, now?

@saosmash said in Period Piece Face vs Modern Face:

@tempest I can't even explain. He drives me nuts for no sensible reason.

Sooooooo punchable.

@kanye-qwest said in Period Piece Face vs Modern Face:

This is why I can't play these games. I thought this was Robin Wright.

Face blindness is a real problem y'all. I can't just imagine person as thing.
Except in certain cases. I know Matthew McConahahahahaha has a punchable face. I remember that. I couldn't describe him for a sketch artist, but I know whenever I see him that I want to deck him.

@saosmash said in Period Piece Face vs Modern Face:

@kanye-qwest okay but what if I just irrationally hate a face whether it is modern or period? Because Matthew McConaighey I just can't stand.

Edit: or spell, apparently.

I do kind of want to punch his face.

@scar said in MU Things I Love:

@auspice I know, right?! She's been in my arsenal for a little while. Glad I finally got an excuse to actually bust her out! ...even if she doesn't have any period-appropriate pictures.

That's the problem with period games. Both my PCs have v. few photos for the same reason.

@ganymede said in Good TV:

For me, I think that's the distinction you're looking for.

Well... maybe. I do not have issues with murder scenes in other medium. I watched the scene through in context with someone and I struggled, but having someone there helped.

It's the specific scene. And not all of it. It was very specifically those guys who took blows to the face and closeups of their faces.

Not long ago, for something I was writing, I went through an archive of crime scene and autopsy photos of shotgun wounds. Those didn't bother me.

It's just... very specifically... blood around the nose/mouth and people choking on said blood. And I'm trying not to get too graphic in case it bothers others, but maybe it's a 'just me' thing.

I just have to call out @scar because I love Jacinta's PB.

She is so adorable. Frecklessssss.

Some days, I'm the Monkey Brain.
Others, I'm the Lizard Brain.

@kanye-qwest said in Regarding administration on MSB:

she sarcastically labeled something MOD VOICE in another thread.

Factually incorrect.
I labeled something 'NOT MOD VOICE.'

This is also MSB. People are sarcastic at every turn.

I understand you have a vested interest in seeing me hurt in some way, shape, or form, but please at least be correct in your attacks upon me.

@sg said in Characters You Enjoyed Playing:

Salvae on Battlestar Unification was a lot of fun, but people stopped playing on the grid. It's silly, but I just couldn't get into the teleporting into people's temp room scenes that were already in progress, even if they were marked pub.

I really miss this dude.

@mietze said in Stranger Than Fiction MUX:

@dontpanda no we wouldn’t.

@scar said in The Eighth Sea - Here There Be Monsters:

Heya! I’m hopping on here to give kudos for how immediately impressed I am with this game’s player management. Intervening with OOC problems can be draining and uncomfortable territory. I see plenty of game admin avoid it through largely non-interventionist strategies but ultimately, that’s how you set the tone for a healthy game and keep quality players around.

I will nip a dozen harassing players in the bud if it means healthy players can go out and play in the open comfortably.

I will do it gladly.

@ghost

How many headaches do you give yourself on a daily basis?

@misadventure said in Regarding administration on MSB:

Kick death squads in the night.

I want kitten squads in the night.

The universe, she is mocking me.

I've gone from overbearing, asshole professor last month to the least organized man in the world.

Who sets due dates, from what I can tell, arbitrarily.

The week, for my school, ends on Sundays. Every other instructor, to this point, has had assignments due... on Sunday (unless it's something we need to provide feedback to each other on, then it's usually Thu/Fri; understandably).

This guy: Friday.
Except our final project: Wednesday, the final week. Yes, we have 5 assignments 8th of December, then our final project on the 13th!

This week, we have a group assignment. Due Friday. As of today, we do not have our group assignments. I emailed him. His reply? 'Thanks for jogging my memory! I'll email everyone about that.'

...thanks.

It also took the past three days to get clarification on one of the assignments for this week because his... explanation of things leaves much to be desired (I have shared with friends to see if they can make sense of it and universally... no).

At least this guy is nice. He's just on the crack.
