Doing inventory Tuesday night, quote Cobalt, repeatedly: "What the fuck is this shit?!"

"Why are we taking soda from two different cases?! I HAVE to COUNT this shit! Take from one!"

"I'm going to murder someone: Why is the fanta and pibb xtra mixed together?!"

"....why did we start taking from the bottom layer of ranch before the top layer was empty?"

"....why are there multiple stacks of 9 boxes, rather than 10? WHO CAN'T COUNT TO TEN?"

"...................................................what the fuck is this shit? Why is there a stack of pizza boxes shoved back into the slot the wrong way, blocking all other boxes from going in??? The large boxes are put in right! why not the mediums?!"

"...oh, look, the drink cooler. Aaah, yes, we have two sections of lemonade. Why? I don't know, I give up."

So far my time training to be an assist manager appears to be summed up with two quotes:

"I'm very sorry about that, I'm voiding your payment right now, and we'll get that order out to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience."

and...

"Who did this?!"

I'm rated as 'non-TS' and then I find someone that everything just clicks with and we get it oooooooon, and then the pages of "what makes him so special" etc etc.

I do this every so often, but it seems like my activity levels in the hobby in general are dying off-- so I'm missing writing, and having that creative outlet. So I'm beginning to think about starting to write again. Anyone interested in being writing buddies? Just general encouragement and the like.

I have one short story I started flushing out, but I am also thinking of taking some of the creative stuff I was doing for Sacred Seed and write some short stories / maybe something longer.

@arkandel Joking aside, I completely agree here. If I was on a game where staff let that happen, I'd be out the door in a heartbeat.

@Ganymede The problem is that homeopathy and alternative medicine also give a haven for a lot of quacks and woo peddlers. Myles Power on youtube has a lot of great videos on different woo peddlers and the dangers of it -- Jeff Holiday as well is a good source. (Though the latter's political views at least older ones make me a little hesitant to really suggest him, he's not terrible if you stick to the quackery / exposing "alternative medicine" videos). People who claim to be homeopathic/natural medicine doctors or chiropractor doctors will often be people who have bought degrees off of shady colleges and have not had actual long term medical training like someone who went through full medical school to be a doctor of medicine.

We're talking about people who go to Uganda and get Ugandans to drink bleach claiming it will cure their malaria. We're talking people who will tell people that bleach can cure autism, and advocate giving autistic children bleach enemas.

Or you know people who advocate urine therapy, or black root, or turpentine therapy etc. Things that can kill or harm people badly, but sick and desperate people will turn to because "traditional medicine failed them".

I turn a hard side-eye to anyone who tells me to treat stuff with essential oils or "natural" medicines. Not everything in nature is healthy for you, and woo peddlers prey on the desperate to squeeze money out of them and exploit their sickness for the cults.

@cobaltasaurus thats why I bring them both forward and figure out who what. I never said ban, banning is not the only punishment (there are plenty of IC things that would not take kindly to that sort of Hubris wink wink). You also cannot just on the first tume do anything.

YOU SURE CAN if the offense is clear enough and creepy enough.

Gonna go with @Roz here... If someone starts trying to use magic powers to rape someone on Sacred Seed, I'mma let @Coin bounce them out the door so fast their head spins.

Four-five days if recovery... Yeah, I believe it.

Eta' that is to say my gallbladder has successfully been removed, I'm home, and either delirious from body pain or from drugs.

@silverfox said in Sexuality: IC and OOC:

Boob sweat.

The next time I play a modern day game where I have a fighter chick... I'm going to on the 'after scene' where the chick gets back from some real hard battle. Pose unhooking her bra and letting out the most highly sexual sound of relief that a human being can hear and that her partner has most assuredly never made her make.

fr taking off your bra after a 10hr work day is 100% better than getting laid.

Apartment hunting is exhausting, and I hate it. I just want a place to live. Would you answer your damned phone, rental office??

(No the game won’t actually be called that.)

But hey folks, it looks like DW will be coming back. A few things to know:

• We will be starting off exactly where the DB left off, which I think is the middle of the summer where we have it to Snow/Moss.

• Players will be able to play their old characters right from where the DB left off.

• As such we will be sticking with 1E— no hybrid rules.

• When CtL 2e is out we’ll look at if we want to convert over.

• I will not have the time to run two plots a week like last time— so while I still have plans to keep it story driven, there may be changes in the way that works.

Other things will come up as they come up.

Every year just keeps getting worse. I'd like to go back to 2020 now, please. Maybe even 2019. Or maybe, really, I would just like people to stop dying. Please.

@kay You are a doll, and a peach, and any game you go to next is lucky to have you. Seriously, the handful of you that was left at the end are some of the most supportive and nice people I've had the pleasure to ST for.

And yeah, the wiki will stay up until wikidot itself dies. So don't worry about that.

I think you might get more interest of people willing to help, if you discussed what it's going to be other than "Smux"?

Here's s'more pics:

(Not sure if this is the right category, but sticking it here. @Glitch can move it if he likes.)

I think I'd like to run on-game coding lesson for folks (MUX) for some of the building blocks of learning to code. If you're interested please let me know! I'm not positive when specifically I'll do it. I've got finals week next week, and not sure how much of this weekend will be spent studying.

But a basic itinerary of what we will do:

• Learn these functions:
  • lwho()
  • iter()
  • name()
  • objeval()
  • ljust(), rjust(), center(), repeat()
  • ansi()
  • u()
  • loc()
  • get()
• Learn about the following subjects:
  • how to call code/make code so it can be used
  • permissions
  • bit-types
  • responsible ansi use.
  • visual formatting
  • delimiters

(Potentially more, but those I know for sure we'll go over.)

The project will be to code a +who, but once you have each function "mastered" you should be able to apply them to other projects.

• ETA: After we have these class, I'll post a log of it to this thread so those who can't make it can see it.

I asked @Pyrephox "Ok, what if fictional Second Ireland but steampunk lords and ladies."

And Pyrephix said, "Ok, but what if metaplot secret."

On the upside of life: I ordered my first perfume from BPAL and it's amazing. It came with a sample that is ALSO amazing ... so I guess I'll be buying more perfume on my next payday, lol.

My cat and my roommate's cat got new collars....

My girl is so precious with her little rose. And the boy is super dapper with his bowtie.
