What about all those scary-ass news stories wherein people are murdered by someone they met off the Internet?

What about all those scary-ass news stories about young black men getting shot by police for no fucking reason?

Such is life in Soviet Russia.

Dah, I mean, the USA.

Speaking of which, this is exactly why I think people who say things like "SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL POLICE" are fuccbois.

Then I guess you just are flat out IGNORING what happens in certain african countries, because of the shape of people's noses. I am sure you are ignoring the times when yes, people are attacked and killed, because of NOT being black, or mexican, or south american, or not having the right religion, or not agreeing in the same VERSION of marriage?

You're right, just because you can link pictures of HORRIBLE stuff people have done to black people, means that black people have NEVER done HORRIBLE stuff to others because they weren't black.

I've seen what happens and experienced violence myself. I may not be dead and hung, or burned because clearly I am still here, but there are PLENTY of violence on BOTH SIDES.

EDIT: But hey, that's a complete fallacy, never happens, totally untrue.

Guess what, institutionalized slavery? Not a thing currently going on here. Bad shit happened, nobody is denying that. Bad shit STILL happens. But apparently it only counts when it happens to black people.

And this is why it will never end.

Edit 2:

And because I have no desire to try and outshock anyone, I'm not going to link what happened to /my/ ancestors.

But are you dead, though?

Furthermore, are you aware of the Rwandan Genocide? You know, the time when black people ethnically cleansed hundreds of thousands of other black people?

So your point about Africa isn't really going anywhere.

Also, What race are you? Declare yourself, or hold your peace. Not that it matters, because I'm pulling out of this thread.

In general, I disagree with the Chinese method of capital punishment, which is why you'd have to clout me over the head and put me in a sack to get me to cross the Chinese border, and, also, why I disagree vehemently with @WTFE when they say how everything is hunky-dory and lots of fun in the Middle Kingdom.

More trolling, I see. (Hint: I have never said everything is hunky-dory in the Middle Kingdom.)

Stifling me with the troll scareword is disingenuous and juvenile, to boot.

I am glad you admit to saying things are fun in the Peep's Republic, however. You're a cool frood.

Hey guys, let's play MLP where we recreate the feel and stories of MLP. Except my pony is a Dominant vampire pony who secretly rules Equestria.

People would go for this.

The same people that roleplay as Vampire Ponies on FiMFiction and Neighvada Nights.

I'm serious. I've been saying we should have an MLP WoD game for years now.

I've seen better pregnancy simulator games from Japan.

TEENAGE pregnancy simulators, even. Booyakasha.

I have enough time to run something again the hobby might no longer really exist.

• It's going to take you 40 years to have time for this again?

or

• The hobby still 'really exists'?

Pick one.

It is difficult, if not impossible, to disprove that the number of people MU*ing has not markedly decreased from 1990's levels to the current era in 2016.

I will gladly eat my words, braised, with Hollandaise sauce, if this is wrong; I am not issuing a declaration set in stone, nor am I Professor Cirno with a PH.D. and a thesis entitled "Pretendy Funtime Games And How They Grew".

I am not putting words in your mouth, but it seems as though you may think that if the population of people MU* ing decreases further, through lack of interest, death, loss of the utilities or financial clout to support a hobby which requires a house, power, lighting, a computer, or at the very least a smartphone and a power socket*, if you're going to MU* on the street, you will then be able to write off the hobby as "not really existing".

You could say that right now, if you wanted to, given the current climate of player attrition and shrinkage. Granted, you would encounter pushback from others, but the Kubler-Ross model of the five states of grief lists Denial right there in the set, so the players who deny your supposition are to be expected. You could argue that they are exploring these states of grief as they grieve for a hobby which has slowly begun to cease existing, in a long, drawn-out, persistent vegetative state coma-victim manner, supported through artificial means.

And you would be right, in a certain sense. People still reenact Medieval Warfare, so, technically, you can still say that Knights fight each other in plate armor, but you could also truthfully say that the Age of Chivalry and Knight-Fights has decisively come to an end, and that it does not exist.

However, I would not hedge my bets on MU*ing ceasing to exist in the next decade, or even the decade after that, or the decade following that one. These absurd little games survived two decades already, and are still surviving, with relevant, up to date games, such as My Little Pony.

[* ] @Thenomain and I were discussing why more black people did not MU* on the old boards, and he said something that is important to consider - most MU* ers are financially secure and either have a good chunk of money and a steady, well-paying job, or are at least financially well-off through whatever methods they have available - friends, family, the Government Dole - that they can afford the equipment and the environment conductive to MU* ing - namely, the things mentioned here. He suggested something to the effect that since less black people can afford these things, less can actually MU*.

This raises interesting questions - is MU* ing a gentrified, expensive hobby out of reach to the poor? Could that be part of the reason why the population of MU* players is low in general? And why is this, since computers have sharply decreased in price? One can acquire a cheap tablet or netbook for 50$ or so.

@Cirno They sound like caricatures with personalities borrowed from anime, with the same amount of hysteria and unrealistic extremes. More power to you, but as you laid them out I doubt I'd enjoy playing with them, for the same reason that I don't enjoy most anime. It's like taking a realistic personality and putting it through a meat grinder.

I like immersion when I play, and I need a grounded connection with reality in order to get that immersion. It's the same reason why I don't enjoy WoD games where all the supernatural stuff is out in the open, displayed like dirty laundry.

Nah, I get what you mean. One person's passion is another's poison, and so on. I have realistic characters as well - I just recounted the fun ones.

You might be surprised, though. Quite a few people - including Cobalt - have remarked on my excellent roleplaying skills.

Take one of my characters on Cobalt's game. She was an ordinary Human architect and was fairly mellow and unassuming.

You would probably have liked Cu Chulanna (the white Irish Spearmaid) the most, since she would be right at home in a normal modern city, tending a bar.

She is, in fact, named after this person: http://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/irish-story-and-legend-cu-chulainn-002150

Zastaraya (the black African Swordswoman) can hold a conversation if you can keep from irritating her long enough. It's not like you would run into her and she'd start screaming "WE MUST KUNGFU FIGHT! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Well, not most of the time, anyway. XD

Arcueid Brunestud - for that is the name of the German Vampire Princess - would discuss tariffs, border control policies, and law with you if you spoke to her at any length, as well as the nature of power - that is, once you penetrate her initial ditziness about shopping and clothes and delicious food.

Interestingly, in the game Arcueid comes from, she is even flatter and less interesting than in my roleplay.

I fleshed her out by giving her a nationality - her name sounds vaguely German or Prussian, and she kills other vampires, so I put her at the head of the Teutonic Knights, who claimed to be killing supernatural creatures back then, and had her play a role in the Baltic Crusades by having her tiny German monarchy, which was part of the Holy Roman Empire (an agglomeration of tiny monarchies, each of whom all elected a 'kinglet' from their bowels, as a famous man said) - similar to Brandenburg or etc., intervene on the behalf of the Teutonic Knights, by funding and arming them, and providing military support.

Also, their wardrobes are vaguely similar.

("I regret destroying your possessions," Arcueid states, coldly. Try to imagine that is a Lithuanian duke's castle and holdings aflame in her wake.)

(Some German Order knights on the attack. Most likely because Arcueid said something to the Hochmeister, informing him of the latest Lithuanian heresies.)

They are 'rounder' than you might think, or, at least, the people I played with seemed to think so. They could just have all been anime-watching 14-year-olds though, so I don't disagree with you.

I have to say that this only makes me want to play with your characters even more: it would be like one of those ridiculous love-comedy animes where a normal guy or girl hangs out with a Norse Goddess, or a Demon, or someone equally wacky and unrealistic.

I'm imagining your character holding 'Raya (the black African Swordswoman) by her shoulders and pleading with her not to chop up the police officer staring at her rudely.

I'd like to write a novel about Arcueid's history with the German order when I have more time. It will be called "Tsukihime Prologue ~ Fire On The Moon" and it will be grand in scope, spanning the runup to the Baltic Crusade and the establishment of the Teutonic Crusader State.
