Cybergeneration!

That's just me being sassy. I feel like no one but me has ever heard of it.

Anybody remember that hideous WORA wiki?

@il-volpe For your edification.

To me, WORA was at best the twelve car pile-up on the highway that you cannot stop staring at no matter how hard you try, and at its worst, a cesspool for the worst of behaviors that people can permit themselves on the internet just short of arrestable crimes without the kind of consequences involved with seeing the people you are squatting over and shitting on. Was there ever productive discussion? Sure. But one good apple does not make the entire barrel of rotten to the core any better. Shaming had less to do with the means of rehabilitation, but rather entertainment.

MSB is not rainbows and hugs and bunnies, we all know this. But I do think it is a million times kinder than WORA. Criticism is given and taken, and as I've mentioned in another post, most of the time it's sarcastic in tone, but we do not reach out past the realm of our hobby. I don't know if because as a society we've gotten past the initial hump of taking advantage of anonymity to be cruel and made it to the revelation that we are more successful being relatively kind, but to this day I have yet to see the kinds of behaviors that the worst that WORA offers - the doxxing, the slutshaming, the attacks - here on MSB.

@WhatInTheSun Wish Granted!

Can't connect. Anyone else having an issue?

To the surprise of absolutely no one, I'm in it for Colleen Wing.

Also, watching Iron Fist and then Into the Badlands right afterward made the already superior latter even better than it is - and it's pretty damn good.

Remind me of what Connor from Darkwater was again?

I am so excited to be rping with you again!

Will there be access to Fillory, the Library, etc?

Apparently it's okay now to fetishize Judaism.

I mean, sure - you want to get together on Friday night, enjoy some challah, sip a little wine? Be my guest. But performing the blessings and comparing the whole shebang to yoga? Fuck you. No, really. My faith is not for your commercialization.

He's got the right idea...

@tek: So....Changeling the Dreaming, then?

Many of her characters are direct lifts of PCs from various and sundry Changeling the Dreaming MU*'s, tabletops, etc. In much the same way her Incryptid series is a lift from various Buffy MU*s and such.

I had a Vulcan whose name was T'kela. At Academy, her friends called her Tequila, complete with "One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three T'kela, Floor" jokes when she'd drop someone for whatever reason. She never got the joke.

(I mean, as long as we're sharing ST game pun stories...)

Just as a shout out here, @Kestrel did an amazing job playing an antagonist on The 100, for all that the game was short lived. I'd be curious to hear her thoughts. She was ICly hostile, had her own agenda, was able to bend at the right moments both in story and OOCly, as well as being very nice OOC and willing to communicate. But in character? Totally in it for herself and willing to fuck people over to survive. Our very own Murphy.

@Ghost Don't forget tutting. Tutting is awesome.

@Goyim said in What do you WANT to play most?:

Anything that isn't an original theme is counter-productive for a MU. You can't alter the world too much otherwise it stops being whatever setting it's based upon. Like if someone made a game of thrones mud, it's pretty safe to say that no amount of IC stuff is going to let your family take over the world and turn it into a orwellian dystopia. Nor is a game based on 1984 going to let you overthrow big brother and usher in a new age of democracy.

Glass ceilings and railroading, ho.

I think that problem mainly rests on the shoulders of those who participate. For the people who want to immerse themselves into the canon setting, as players they are not going to WANT to drive the story in an unthematic way. If you're just logging in to be an asshole, yeah, that will result in shit going off the rails.

I love historical games, but they never seem to maintain themselves. There are also a couple of specific canons I would love to play in, notably something along the lines of Avatar:The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra, or Into the Badlands. Very cinematic oriented combat with an alternative world setting.

I also dig post-apocalyptic games, but a lot of them focus on the misery as opposed to the idea of rebuilding, and I'm more inclined toward the latter.

I play a little of everything. WoD in particular tends to go in phases for me.

The AHCA has failed; Americans will have the ACA for the foreseeable future.

So I was reading how in an interview Kevin "Fucktard" Sorbo insisted that the Jews are responsible for the death of Jesus and even though collectively people have long since been "no, Romans, ok" about it, if people are gonna blame Jewish people for it, and without his death they wouldn't have their religion, I now kind of want to write a parody:

"It's okay, It's okay, you're welcome!/You always say that it was the Jews/What can we say except you're welcome!/He dies for all your sins, what good news!"
