@RDC said in NOLA: The Game That Care Forgot:

If someone has a strong idea for a concept and what they want to be good at I will legit write a sheet for them.

Mekhet, Ordo Dracul. Obsessed with bloodbourne pathogens and diseases. Looks like below:

Neveah is pale and wane. Her skin holding the impossibly smooth quality of a wax sculpture. The dark circles under her eyes are only emphasized by the heavy lining of kohl that causes her blue eyes to be ever so intense. She wears a smile like a deranged evangalist; too wide, full of teeth and eagerness to consume. The tilt of her head is always ever so slightly down as if she suffered from an ever present twitch. As if she were eternally sick or overexerted the ghost of sweat haunts her hair with a greasy, clumpy quality; it hangs in a dark pallor to her chin.

I wanna play, but the idea of going through chargen gives me anxiety.

ETA: Legit, for real, I can come up with concepts to play but the idea of putting those concepts into stats on any game has been giving me anxiety for like two months now. Couldn't tell you why.

Someone wanna do the chargen bit for a PC for me? I'll play literally whatever you want if you make the PC and then give the pword.

"Feel my fingertips, John!"

@Olsson omg those ears

@Thenomain said in Any Fate free WOD games left?:

For those who are curious but don't know how to ask, the "Fate" was a consent system created for Dark Water back in the day, where the level of what can affect you was also the level you could affect others or the game itself. I cannot remember the details too well, but it went from 0 to 5 and Black Dog (because of course it did) where 0 meant "I am on full consent and can affect nobody and nothing; I'm just here to chat". 5 meant "Can kill and be killed for any reason even just because it's Tuesday." And Black Dog was the "edgelord maximum extreme" for complete gore and F.A.T.A.L-approved situations; absolutely nothing was off-limits.

"1" was pretty much "can RP". I hovered between a 2 and 3.

As far as "active" is concerned, it's not something anyone but you can say; just ask people who want to RP outside of any game's usual active time-zones. I'm unaware of anything to the levels of Haunted Memories or The Reach.

Correction: Darkmetal.

Darkwatet had no consent rules.

@Taika what are you wanting done?

How many turrets do you put in your Sanctuary? .... ALL of THEM.

(I figured out how to show people gameplay with my PS4 so decided to show off my turrets to @Kalakh and now you all get to see them.)

What a happy thing to log back into after a few days. SURPRISE PUPPERS!

ETA: Also my cat doesn't love me anymore and has abandoned me for my roommates so I need a new LOYAL companion... Doggo?

@RDC said in Games? Do they exist? Where?:

@chibichibi How much of the game centers around the bureaucracy of mage-government? I like mage as an idea (on its own, not mixed with other games) but MU* mage tends to center around a certain group of players (usually Guardians of the Veil) who decide the theme of Mage is making sure nobody actually plays Mage, via charters with a hundred bylaws.

Quiet weeping my plots, my sphere, my funtimes....

Also someday I'll be making a character on @chibichibi's game.:)

@Thenomain said in Getting Young Blood Into MU*'ing:

99% of the players respected all of this. At least in public. Sometimes they were disrespectful of staff, but since @Cobaltasaurus is nicer than she needs to be, almost nobody got thrown off the game for it.

I mean, I did lose my shit on Circe@HM's player once (I can't remember her MSB name), for being kinda shitty to staff. I believe my words were "if you ever treat my staff like that again, you're gone".

But mostly I let @Tributary handle banning b/c she was far more impartial and fair, than I. So we only banned people for being a true bother to the game, or staff. I think... we once asked someone to leave because they were taking up like 98% of my time?

But Darkwater's main rule was:

If it becomes a problem, it will be dealt with when it comes up.

We didn't have extensive policies other than that. Then we eventually added an "expected behavior" or something other soft policy, that included rules on how to behave in public. It was things like "don't huggle-snuggle people on public channel, unless you know they want it. respect people's OOC physical boundaries" and then we had a policy on "no rape RP in public spaces, or pushed onto other players b/c no one wants to deal with it but you" (phrased nicer, mind).

@Bad-at-Lurking Even as much as 10 years ago, there was a lot of eyerolling and mockery for openly lesbian and gay characters.

@chibichibi said in anomaly jobs and myrrdin bboard not working:

@Cobaltasaurus So the issue I'm having is that +bbread doesn't list all the boards. That's why I'm puzzled. I thought it just wasn't coded but it's there.

Show me the code?

+Bbread will list all of the boards.
+Bbread ## -- will list all messages on the specific board.
+Bbread ##/## -- will view a specific message.
+Bblist ?? an alias of +Bbread maybe? idk.
+Bbnew / +bbnext will show unread posts in chronological order from oldest unread to newest unread (at least by board).

@Whirlwind's +help file for it based off of.... idek can still be found here: http://windycity.wikidot.com/help#help_plusbboard

I don't really know of where else to find the help files for it.

@Derp Ha! I bought it up because I was worried the 18+ only tag would scare some people away thinking it was smut.

So, I'm doing a thing. A writing thing. I've set up a patreon account where I will be writing a horror story in serial format to eventually be edited, fine-tuned, and packaged up for publication. If you would like to support me please feel to follow the link! If you can't be a patreon patron, I'd also really love it if you could share my page around.

The first two (or three) entries in the story will be free to the public, and then everything after that will be patron only (but available at every level, so you can pledge $1 and get access!).

ETA: Also note it is set as adult-only because the nature of the horror story will include dangerous situation and some body horror. But there is very unlikely to be any smut in these stories.

@JinShei gh is what I was talking wbout lol chargen scares me.

@JinShei said in LFG:

@Tinuviel said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

I am very glad that this discussion is being undertaken as politely and informatively as it is. It is an exceptionally important conversation to have.

The more I have watched video essays and reports by people like Myles Power and Jeff Holiday the most passionately I feel about it. Now, mind you, I also had chronic bronchitis and breathing issues and get ear infections a lot (or used to on into adulthood) b/c my mother gave me "alternative medicine" antibiotics as a child one winter when I got really sick. An "immune booster" or some shit that was a bunch of grass packed into a pill capsule b/c her second husband convinced her that alternative medicine was better.... and well guess what, by the time she finally took me to an actual doctor I had bronchial pneumonia and an ear infection so bad I had pus dripping out of my ears.

(Possibly b/c my ears hurt so bad that I was sleeping with cotton balls in them... try waking up and pulling a cotton ball out of your ear and green ooze leaking down the side of your neck.)
