Vampire: Moon Colony Alpha.

Oh shit, a Mage accidentally'd a slumbering vampire coven to Moon Colony Alpha! Can they maintain the masquerade for long enough to get back to earth? Will they abandon it completely and set up a hellish nightmare in an attempt to get to Moon Colony Beta on the dark side of the moon? How will the moon vampires survive in such close quarters? What happens if a werewolf finds its way to the Moon, and it's a full moon every day? (I don't know if that's actually a thing)

I don't mean to spam, afternoon coffee and a slow work day, yo.

I suspect that being ON the moon would give werewolves unprecedented access to Luna, which would be interesting.

@Cobaltasaurus If you want an idea guy for metaplot, I can do that for sure.

CULLED.

I DON'T REMEMBER ASKING YOU A GODDAMN THING.

I don't remember giving a shit. OOOOOOH.

And yet you responded. Do we need to drink now that you're posting for your own amusement? XD

You should ALWAYS drink because I'm ALWAYS posting for my own amusement.

As if they would even do a second season that didn't respect Serenity?

Book's dead, children.

So is Wash.

Drink some whiskey and move on.

Most of my horrific ooc and ic experiences have been with people who write beautiful, detailed, what some might call overly long descs. But that is not why they were bad, it just reflects the nature of games and circles that I'm attracted to as a player. And since I stopped looking altogether my last year of play, I found myself experiencing the same range of quality as I always had, perhaps even improved a bit because I did not prescreen people on wiki or object description, so I didn't avoid as many people on that filter--I just culled people after 1-3 scenes depending.

Hey ... wait a minute ...

... in how many scenes have we played together recently?

CULLED.

@Lithium I'll never understand how people aren't taking me to task on shit I deserve to be chewed out over but instead it's stuff like this.

Not just that, but also, tooting our own horns? Lol. Oh man, yes, absolutely, I am the bestest.

God, what kind of weak-ass narcissists have you met that that constituted tooting our own horns? Yikes.

Hasta la victoria, siempre.

@Coin said in Shadows Over Reno:

But I guess the jury's out on whether I pose well consistently? XD

When you're engaged and interested, you pose beautifully. When you're bored, it becomes very obvious very quickly.

At least it's obvious! XD

I am pretty much in the exact same boat as @lordbelh.

@Lithium said in Shadows Over Reno:

@Arkandel It's not a generalization, it's my experience. It's what I've seen. I'm not saying that there might not be some good RP'er who use one line or no line descs, just that it's what /I/ have experienced and what I've come to expect because of it.

Just because you may have had other experiences, doesn't invalidate my own.

No, but it does make both anecdotal at best.

I have had many characters whose descs are just a single line.

My character on Fallen World is just a link to a picture, and Owen on Reno 1.0 was just "You see something special." because I was feeling cheeky.

But I guess the jury's out on whether I pose well consistently? XD

@Kanye-Qwest said in RL Anger:

Overpopulation is not actually a problem. The global population produces enough food to feed the global population with ease, and I think all the humans on earth could live in Dallas if we packed them in with the population density of India*.

(*citation needed, I read something something about the Dallas/India thing and don't feel like finding it!)

The problem is a huge imbalance in resource consumption, and distribution.

IIRC, it's all of TEXAS, with the population density of NYC.

this link is about five years old but I suppose you could just add a billion or whatever? Same concept.

At that point you're looking a Dredd-style Megacity, too.

I swear the timezone thing is a no-win scenario sometimes.

[...] 5:30p PST / 8:30p EST seems to be the sweet spot, but you've gotta be able to jump right into the action in 1 or 2 rounds.

Never-win for meeeee.

I have the stupidest fucking work schedule, and I don't get home until 2200-2300 EST. Which means I never get in any plots. The one +event on Reno I signed up for was scheduled incorrectly, so while I was initially going to only be an hour late, turns out it was actually 4 hours late. And the scene was over by the time I got home. Fun stuff.

HAH.

I'm two hours ahead of EST right now. When people are starting their plots at 8:30 PM I'm already looking at my bed like it's beautiful.

@mietze said in The Apology Thread:

Seems like perhaps this should be seen more as a confession thread (which definitely has its own merit).

Confessions are a horse of an entirely different color, I will agree.

I'm not picking nits over anything, personally. I just gave an opinion and people weighed in. I mean sure, it's super nice people are willing to apologize. But color me skeptical of the bandwagon effect, because some people will climb up on any cart just to get where they're going.

You never really know a person's agenda.

The onus is ultimately on the recipient to either believe or not.

At least in private you're sure they aren't doing it for wider recognition.

@Cupcake said in Good TV:

@Bobotron Did I miss an episode? I thought this week's was a re-run.

Also, anyone else watching Pitch? It's pretty amazing.

You missed an episode.

Public apologies are for politicians. If you want to apologize to a specific person, track them down and apologize. If you can't find them, buy a 40 oz. and deal with your guilt like everyone else does.

@Bobotron said in Good TV:

@Arkandel
I don't want to spoil and I don't think we have a spoiler tag here? It's something I've been looking forward to with it since Season 1.

They totally went wrong with it, IMO, but whatever. Fine.

What could be done to avoid the dick comparison issue on behalf of the STs?

Give the NPC bad guys the biggest dick.
