RE: Where's your RP at?
Sweetness,
This is getting to be like the pro-life/pro-choice debate up in here. I feel like everyone is making assumptions about the other side and not listening. They are trying to veil their snark or think it won't be seen, then jump at someone else for doing it on the other 'side'.
We are adults, we should be able to see the other person's opinion and be respectful of it. There is a reason there are games out there and not game out there. They don't all appeal to everyone. I'm not big on super space games because my brain is sometimes too literal to understand all the science that is RPed, etc. It doesn't mean I HATE space games and space gamers. It doesn't mean I'm anti-genre. It means it doesn't appeal to me and here's why. It's not a you shouldn't do this because I don't like it. We are starting to get to the mud-slinging of the discussion, let's tone back. Sarcasm to one is a deep insult to another.
Now, I am not anti-death and need to have complete control over my character. I would write a book that way. I like how another person influences the story that is going and the choices made. I like to use dice like a which-way story and pick if I go left or right sometimes. I like to go into things with death if I know it's coming. I may have even understood the game death concept. To me it came across as the dreaded telenuke and boom you are dead. Rocks Fall.
I have accepted 'stupid' death when it happened too. I played Metro back in the day and was playing a straight vanilla mortal. It took me FOREVER to get that character approved. A question here, no time there, staff too busy, etc. My second day on the grid there is a huge blizzard and staff was like if you aren't @desc'ed right things may happen. I made sure my char was in layers. They were stuck in a building with people I didn't know. It was all fine. Then those people decided it would be cool to show how much power they had and stripped the char and put her outside. My char died the first scene after weeks of waiting to get in. That was stupid. Incredibly stupid. I dealt.
I think people are more saying they want to make a story. While the story continues for others if the char dies, it doesn't for them. We have bitched and complained about how one feels about being the background to another person's story. I think is comes off as that. Now, there are people that love that and will do it. So I really think the take away is this:
TL;DR
Let's talk like respectful adults, not politicians trying to secure votes.
If you want to make randomized death, be up front.
If you make it, normally people will come play.
Make CG easy. -
RE: RL Anger
When bored, I play with the filters on Snapchat. I um... won't comment what I do with um... Tindr.
Actually my Tindr account says - Please don't show interest. I'm only here to giggle at profiles.

RE: Where's your RP at?
I wonder if we should take all the survivalist and other discussions to another thread.
Serious question @Ghost. So don't roast me, bro.
Isn't this whole debate really one between those who like to play MUDs and those that like to play MUSH/X? I have never played on a MUD so I might be wrong.

RE: Where's your RP at?
I would love a post-apoc game, but I also admit that I'm not fond of character death. It's more because I get excited to form the character. Then I'm excited to see how it works. If It was literally a rocks fall, your char dies - I would be less inclined to do that.
Also, if I'm 100% honest. If I played a game that my char could die at any point due to a dice roll or to make an example how horrible the world is; I would get super anxious OOC and not enjoy it IC. It would be like (not to bring it here) but the Firan birth death rolls. You would have this story and then boom. It's over and you are like WTF and you are stressed the entire time. That would be, for me, the game the whole time.
If I wanted that, I'd play a console game or something.
But I'm down with the post-apoc if anyone makes it work.

RE: RL Anger
@Nietzsche said in RL Anger:
people who can't use computers, i.e., most people over the age of 35. Yes, even the techies.
What the actual fuck is this? THIS is probably why they won't listen to you.

RE: Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning
I left in December? He was up to his old self then with everyone. So they know. He's just friends with Hellfrog as I've heard. However and I will admit this, second hand information about who is friends with staff is RARELY reliable.

Custodius stays -- Victus and other good people are shown the door.
Okay, I really need to stop commenting. Enjoy your game.

Quorn
But I do think I have a recipe in my vegan notes. If I find it, I'll PM it to you. I'm in the middle of packing, so it might not be for a month - unless by some miracle I haven't packed it yet.

RE: RL things I love
My cat (RIP man, RIP) use to go INSANE for cheez-its. Normal cheese he was like meh. A box of cheese crackers and he'd lose his shit. He ate through a box once to get to them. He was also kinda like 'I guess' about chicken nuggets. I made the chik'n ones (vegan for all of you) and thought they were gross. He went insane for those too.
Obviously, my cat was a drug addict in one of his lives and needed chemicals and fake food in his diet.

RE: RL Anger
I didn't have migraines during my pregnancy either and my hair was pin-straight and fabulous. It was amazing --- the lack of migraines -- there were other not so amazing things, but this was a +.

RE: RL things I love
Another reason I love you (um in a friendly way or something). I use to throw these dinner parties with themes and I loved decorating the table and making stuff from scratch. Life just sort of blah'ed. I've been binge watching a cooking show and I'm like. Damnit. I'm going to start doing that.

RE: Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning
While I tend to hush on this thread because of the reasoning behind my leaving. I find this total bullshit. I might not have said anything for myself, but I will say it for @lordbelh - Total bullshit.
Now I return you to Hellfrog's sandbox.

RE: RL Anger
The last TT I was in I found on.... wait for it... Craigslist! Yes, I know but I was young and naive. The group was actually pretty cool, but I was the only girl playing. The first few sessions the girlfriends of the guys stayed around.
Then the DM decided we should do side quests. Then he decided I should do a side quest. Then he decided he should hit on me and see if I was DTF. -- Let's mention his pregnant fiancee.
I quit going.
