I just laughed so hard my dogs came in to see WTF was up.

Duh. That's why everyone loves you, you gruff sumbitch.

Or it just means nobody should pay attention to reputation metrics and people who do deserve every ounce of disappointment that comes their way.

I mean, you cited @Coin as someone with a respected opinion, and he thinks Power Rings letting you talk while traveling at light speed is the line to draw in the sand. Clearly, your formula for interpretation leaves much to be desired.

Go grow some boobs, asshole. XD

@Coin If you do this you need to find a way to include the transmogrifier.

Don't Sin-Eaters have a talisman thing that uses their power system?

Phantasmal Caul, right?

Those two things are absolutely different?

Keystone is what links them to their Geist.

Phantasmal Caul is a specific Key + Manifestation combination that lets you do minor shapeshifting and then some more esoteric, eldritch shapeshifting that drives people insane.

They aren't cute and fuzzy like Bastet.

Now I want to make a Khan named "Hobbes."

I wanted to make a Sin-Eater Prey named Calvin whose Geist appeared as an anthropomorphic tiger who Calvin just resignedly called Hobbes.

@thebird

Emotionally distant ninja assassins with scales and portable Umbral dens. What's not to love?

Bury them.

In litigation.

And if that doesn't work, in dirt.

Bury them.

I liked Ratkin and Nagah and Ajaba the best.

But if you really wanted a reason to run around trying to fuck everybody, you wanted to play a Rokea. Weresharks, in the Breedbook, are specifically said to function on a "eat, breed, survive" schedule, and the book even mentions that when Rokea take human form, they're typically horny 24/7 and want to bannnnnnnnnnnng.

It may be worth discussing, as a group, what the downvote is for. Is it for disagreement with content (I don't happen to think MU are overly toxic in all cases, but does that mean I downvote Anon when he says so)? Or is it for disapproval of tone and approach (Ie: ye olde BigBad acting like a jackass in the wrong forums with huge pictures)?

It's a question for the community at large, not just Admin to decide. I think the rep-system can be useful if handled lightly and with understanding by all those involved, but if folks are agin' it with the passion of a thousand burning suns, then by all means present your case.

ES

It's a poinless question to ask, though, unless you have some way of monitoring why someone downvotes and why they don't. I mean, we can discuss it, and it might even be fun; but people are going to do it for their own reasons and often on a whim anyway.

@Ganymede
Because the person might come back and might want to play that character and because there are other, less final options. And because people don't die when you stop communicating with them and people not talking happens. Should characters die just because they stop RPing with you out of nowhere?

@Glitch I thik the fact that quoted text gets smaller and smaller and smaller can be a problem.

But otherwise, I like the new layout and text size a lot more.

Again: you trust someone to kill you on screen, but not after you have GIVEN UP A CHARACTER?

With that attitude, you can't trust any staffer, ever, and you shouldn't play anywhere where there are staff, good or bad.

Wow, there were bad staff, somewhere. If you didn't trust them to kill you onscreen, then you shouldn't have played there. Don't play where you don't trust staff to not kill you randomly, or out of OOC spite. I'm sorry if you bought into a place then suffered under bad staff. Bad staff are bad staff, not Bad Staff had a policy, ergo that policy must be bad.

We aren't talking offscreen nukes. We are talking characters that are not going to be picked up again. I am personally all for allowing character storage, aka vacation. But if you are done, and can't bother to write yourself out in a sane fashion, someone should, as a service to those players left behind.

DON'T PLAY UNDER BAD STAFF, and if you do accept that you made it possible for them to be shitty to you by doing so.

Except this policy apparently applies to people who idle out, too, which does not in any way constitute having unequivocally given up the character.

You have been extra sharp lately, holy fuck.

Also, not for nothing, but how is "this person died from somthing lol" better than "this person left to handle personal problems and may not return".

The finality of it is pretty fucking stupid. Stop acting like it's some objective truth that this is fine.

That said: if the policy already existed and someone went in there knowing that (or not, because they didn't read the news file, whcih is their fault), then they have no right to bitch. Because a policy can be good or bad, but if it's documented, then at least you know it and can decide whether you can deal with it or not. Once you do, you tie yourself to the consequences thereof.

It's not that fucking hard, you guys.

I'm about 90% sure that the compiled list would pretty much cover everything people roleplay. Everything.

This means that in HR's world, we all have at least 10% in common.

It's more than I expected. Unless that 10% is "we are all horrible assholes" in which case it's exactly what I expected, just a little more percentage attributed to assholes than I thought.

I've actually played Alfred Pennyworth, Jim Gordon, Happy Hogan... and likely some others. And it's not that uncommon. At one point on the game I was on, we had an Aunt May.

@Luna Yes. Before the first [

@Luna Just add a ! at the beginning of that.

All you'll be able to see is roughly the upper half of the head. Search for that.

Yeah, this one is less 'ninja' and more 'hiding behind a rock'. The other one @HelloRaptor posted was more wowza.

@HelloRaptor
I think you're fucking with us, because I can't find it.
