Is there any way the voyeur types can read logs and watch it unfold? Asking for a friend, as some of us (me) can't commit to playing (yet).

My main character in Arx signs almost all of her formal correspondence with,

Sincerely,
Joscelin Arterius

And I have memories of an old friend who would write me letters, and she would sign everything with,

Your friend,
Sin Cerely

my head canon is that these players are using staff as eHarmony. "I had sex with a werebat! ARE WE MEANT TO BE?"

"Yes, you should immediately add them to your Discord and harass them if they are in a room with someone else IC"

I feel like I'm not allowed to love this as much as I do.

I've been MUing a long time, and have yet to encounter a single tentacle. I don't know whether I'm disappointed or relieved.

Don't wait for the tentacles to come to you. Be the tentacles.

I played an octopus Changing Breed. It's not my thing, but it's clearly some people's thing, and I think I may have disappointed them.

I ...

@vulgarkitten Or 'omfg I don't TS and everyone in this room wants to fuck me shit shit shit RUN FOR THE HILLS'.

You wouldn't see their interest unless you expressed yours, too.

I read that as 'exposed'. I need to get out of this thread.

Do we really need a coded 'system' for this?
We're adults, we can have conversations.

You were actually the best at this. I mean, as far as demonstrating 'those' kinds of conversations in an MU environment, I'd never encountered such forthright, well-mannered, 'Okay so this and this and this and we're good, right? ALRIGHT GO' and it really did set my own mindset as far as, what people needed to discuss if a scene went that way to ensure everyone was on the same page and could have a good time with it.

It -also- demonstrated to me that people who -ignored- my 'pre-game questions' were either RPing for the wrong reasons, or weren't going to respect what I wanted from the story and the scene and could act accordingly.

We should take advantage of this opportunity to talk about how cool Aleksei is.

Pretty cool, right?

Do we need to? He already knows everything, he doesn't need to know he's enslaved our hearts and minds as well. God.

A supernatural/horror game that isn't focused on teenagers/early college students. I totally get the appeal of that genre, but it just isn't for me.

I want to upvote this more than once.

WHY HAS NOONE MADE BUBBA HO-TEP THE MU*? That would be awesome.

omg -yes-. -PLEASE-.

@peasoupling said in MUSH Marriages (IC):

I've had a few. A couple of times I actually started the characters married, or in on-off relationships. The latest was over a RL year, but the characters couldn't actually get formally married for IC Lords & Ladies reasons, but it was a marriage as far as my character was concerned.

In non-roster games, which is the majority of games I've ever played, the main issue can be if the other player stops playing or idles out without closure. A couple of my IC marriages may have technically lasted RL years, but hardly count for that reason. In one case, it made my character pretty much unplayable, but that was a very specific situation. I still don't regret it, though. The RP and the character arc leading there wouldn't have been possible without it.

Serafine and Leta were my longest IC relationship and only 'marriage' in my RP history of ever. And yes, it counts.

oh god please do this I would play the ever-loving fuck out of a game like this. Please.

@ortallus I use the muse one that Talen made and @Roz shared, but it's also the one I used to learn all this stuff. I use an ASCII converter sometimes but mostly build from scratch, and a notepad to even out all the different letters and symbols the converter puts in. I've seen some art with the #s, I don't know if it's the tool from Firan you're talking about though.

@saosmash said in Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning:

@sincerely Girrrrrrrl we gotta get you some clues.

I've been busy making things. The world could be falling down and Joscelin is just gonna be in her shop, making pretty things. Eff. The. World. Her interests are pretty much jewelry, gemstones, precious metals, the history of all three, and learning about the Grayhopes.

@fortydeuce What! A revelation! Dude I've been in game since alpha and I haven't had a revelation (I don't think). That's awesome!

@saosmash said in Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning:

@sincerely CAUSE YOUR ART IS GREAT.

ONLY BECAUSE I HAD INFECTIOUS TEACHERS. Seriously I can't share the ASCII art I do like I would my usual art, I tried to show my Mom and she was like 'Ummm why aren't you making silver jewelry wtf'.

My Dad is an old school nerd. He thinks it's neat. But he's the only one so you guys, you guys are the only ones who are going to ever get to see it. So I want to keep making things ya'll like.

Also thank you. ._.

@saosmash said in Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning:

@sincerely Everyone is still gonna want your gorgeous art always man.

I'm not going to lie, I get a little giddy walking around the grid and seeing people sport and gush over the pretty things I make. It might be one of my favorite parts of playing Joscelin.
