Something either up with Vampire apps or something is up with mine.

Vampire opened on June 1st for apps. I'm 85% sure that not one app has been approved. And I'm sure as hell still waiting.

I LOVE Reno. I like the players and the staff and so far this is my only poor experience. I'm an understanding goldfish. (And I'll forget about this problem as soon as I can hit the grid. I'm a goldfish.) If something is going on behind the scenes, that's fine. I'm not pushy. I'm concerned at this point. Why can't the vampires play?

I know that Tarocchi is under enormous amounts of troubles RL lately, so that might contribute. I would just page staff politely and ask. Have you commented on your app job?

I'm not a fan of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Alternate continuities are fine, but really if you have some kind of intrinsic opposition to the characters and events of a setting then you don't REALLY want to play in that setting.

Your idea sounds good, by the way.

I, on the other hand, adore parallel realities, alternate continuities, etc. One of my favorite ideas for a Comic Book MU is basically the premise of "Exiles" except it's a much larger organization (and probably including DC, Marvel, and more). Allowing up to X versions of the same character, etc. I think it's fun to see what alterations and changes people can come up with.

This is what we get up to on Skype.

[17:45:30] @Thenomain: When you have time, not crucial this minute, here are the ‘methods’ I have people regaining willpower:
[17:45:32] @Thenomain: <method>:
rest: Regain 1
vice: Regain 1, usually
virtue: Regain all
<num>: Regain <num>
all: Regain all
[17:45:39] @Thenomain: Each can be limited in its own way.
[17:45:58] @Thenomain: Templates’ lists can expand that.
[17:46:15] @Coin: That looks fine. Vamps and Wolves have different ways of regaining WP.
[17:46:30] @Coin: Mask/Dirge both have an 'all' and a '1' way. Same with Blood/Bone.
[17:46:54] @Thenomain: Hm.
[17:47:21] @Coin: If you use your Mask in X way, you regain 1, if you use it in Y way, you regain all.
[17:47:23] @Coin: To clarify.
[17:47:27] @Thenomain: Yeah, hm.
[17:47:28] @Coin: Same with the other three stats.
[17:48:20] @Thenomain: Command currently is :: regain [<target>/]willpower=<method> [for <reason>]
[17:48:48] @Thenomain: Do these things have names? That is, do you activate your Bone in a Subtle and Outstanding way?
[17:49:00] @Thenomain: (Hee. Activate your bone.)
[17:49:02] @Coin: Well, WP is weird on MUs because it's so... not... really... a thing? Unless you're running a plot.
[17:49:41] @Thenomain: Hell, I could just leave it to ‘1’ and ‘all’ and nothing else.
[17:49:54] @Thenomain: ‘regain willpower=1 for Bone’
[17:50:13] @Thenomain: I like the immersion of ‘regain Willpower=Bone’ or whatever. Hm. HmmMMmMMmm.
[17:50:40] @Thenomain: ‘regain Willpower for Rest’, but ‘regain Willpower=all for Bone’? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmno.
[17:50:53] @Coin: All for bone and bone for all.
[17:51:07] @Coin: (You started it.)
[17:51:12] @Thenomain: Gay Frenchies.

@Coin

I think that the activity level will go up eventually anyway, you've only been truly open for a very little while! And eventually I'm hoping to jump into events and meet people that way too. So it's not really a complaint so much. Part of it's the responsibility of the folks that are on during 'off hours' too to be visible and keep pinging too. In the meantime I've been having fun wandering the grid so that when someone does accept a RP invite I'll have multiple places/scenarios to pitch!

That's good to hear!

That and also either pay all of us, or rig it so we win the lottery so people don't have to work and can play more.

This won't work. I've recently figured out that my productivity in MUing is counter to how much time I've got to do it.

When I was super busy and got home from college at like 11pm every night, I played almost every night at least for a little bit. But when I had tons and tons of time because I was unemployed or nearly unemployed, I didn't play all the time. I usually did other stuff.

It's weird, but I'm more efficient when I have a small amount of time each day to do something. Maybe it's just me.

We do seem to have a rather narrow window of time in which people are truly active. We'll have to see what we can do to broaden that.

You crazy kids.

TL;DR--MU are a specific variant of a medium (online text-based) of roleplaying.

Sepp Blatter resigning.

You have to keep in mind that this is also the first thing Playstation has put out. They're feeling out a demographic. I think the second season, if they do it, will probably have a larger budget. That said, Johnny's teleporting was really well done, I thought.

Thank you, @Chime.

Game's back up.

Most of them are more than happy to talk to the pubic.

if they have long conversation with it, they might even decide to act as your attorney. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

This means Reno is down until it's fixed, folks.

This means we're down until it's fixed, folks. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The screen sizing issue might be accidental clicking on the button that appears if you hover your mouse near the bottom right corner of the screen.

In nearly every single pose that I make with people who don't know me, and my PC is being an asshole, I include at least one meta sentence acknowledging he's a jerk, usually mocking him for it.

Even with characters who aren't assholes, displaying anything resembling a sense of humor about your character, or acknowledging when the ridic things they do are ridic, goes a looooooong way.

My friends used to have a drinking game re: 'take a drink every time Coin calls his own character a jerk/asshole/dick/whatever in meta'.

... turned into a lot of drunk RP...

And I didn't find out about it until a while after. Like, a year into it.

@Coin Just remember, someday you will die. And so will he.

I can only hope he does so sooner. And messier.
