Because you know going into the scene exactly what's going to happen. You're going to do something glorious, or cunning, or wise, or whatever.

It takes the fun out of it to know you're just grinding for dots.

Peeve: Finding out that people you thought were your friends were only pretending to be your friend until they no longer needed your help.

Pointing out facts is now being a hater.

Defending your arguments is now being salty.

We're living in a meme culture.

@Auspice Your dad is inconsiderate.

If you don't like @Ghost's comments? Ignore them.

I'm certain the people who ran The 100 don't need more people buried up their buttholes.

...or maybe they do? I won't judge what people do behind closed doors.

@PuppyBreath Well my offer is open for a free meal and a chance to see around Austin. Also if you need a job I can probably get you hooked up with something basic pretty quick.

And if worst comes to worst and there is an emergency I can probably get you a spare room for a little while if there's no pets involved.

I apologize if I came off strong. Racism is one of my twitchy points. I absolutely hate it and part of that hatred is hating when people try to turn pretendy-funtimes into a battleground for their particular viewpoint even if it coincides with mine.

Even if they only do it inadvertently.

@PuppyBreath I've got an open offer for a hot meal if you want to check out any of the local restaurants. Maybe @Auspice could come along as well. And anyone else in Austin. (Though the more people who go the cheaper the meal will have to be. :3)

If I was going to do a Supernatural MUSH I'd just set it in like, the 1980s. And make it based out of the road house.

@Rinel Everyone is an impostor if you dig deep enough. That's the secret of life. Everyone's faking it ALL THE TIME.

I haven't read Harry Potter. Also I don't like Lord of the Rings.

All that means is I don't like bad literature.

@ZombieGenesis How is that funny? If you don't believe in 'great white outrage' you aren't exposed to the same people as me because daily I'll have complete strangers try to bring up the latest 'affront to whitery' with me just because I'm white and we're having casual conversation.

Here's the version for dummies:

CGen crap -

Basic CGen - Lower starting stats/skills, can be upgraded to regular in-game by writing up a background and public history. Requires no approval. Your first character should be a basic, just to explore the mechanics of the game and see if you like it. Then you should probably ditch this one to make a standard since you'll know more about what you want to play.

Standard CGen - Full starting stats/skills, requires background and at least an attempt at a description for your character. This is what you want to make for your 'first real character'.

Advanced CGen - Full starting stats/skills, but with more advantages to choose from such as 'simulant' or 'mutant' which are advanced roleplay concepts that require a great deal more effort on your part to play. There are benefits to playing these characters but also serious drawbacks. There is no reason to make this your first character.

Min/maxing is encouraged in CGen, however, you get plenty of skill points so you can easily have a number of skills 'soft capped'. Progression in the game is based on who you know/how good your gear is/how much fun you have. Anyone can kill anyone, potentially. I've seen day old characters get in a fight with a 10 year old character and win before. So there's never a need to feel like 'I will never be the biggest badass so why bother?' There's more to do than just fight, anyways.

Tips:

Always take 'Newbie Tutorial Job' advantage. It's free money for those who know the game and a short primer for those who don't.

@fp-list and then @fp <location here> is excellent for those using screen readers who have difficulty traversing a map or newbies just wanting an easier path somewhere.

You can also turn off the fluff descriptions on street rooms. Also good for screen readers. This game is fairly 'sight impaired' friendly.

Treat NPCs as people. Walking around murdering 'mobs' is... well. Allowed. But you're playing a murdering psychopath if you do that.

Remember that 'who' is an IC list. It isn't a list of 'everyone in the city', of course. Imagination the list is fully populated by a bunch of people and these are the ones who stand out. Some are NPCs. Some are PCs.

The game population isn't huge, so the game is best played with idles while in another window when you're not actively doing things and short bursts of activity when you are.

Cybersphere isn't for everyone. Or even for most people, to be honest. But if you enjoy code with your RP then I say go for it. The game allows and even encourages group apps so you can grab your friends and come in as a neat little clique right off the bat. Be a street gang. Circus performers. Wannabe corpies. It's fun to fail together.

Anyone who doesn't pronounce it Eff-Why-Eye is an idiot and I would immediate disassociate from them, Scientology style.

No offense Sunny but the degree to which you defend the game suggests a personal, vested interest in it.

JJ Abrams continues to be an overrated nostalgia machine. He did Rian Johnson dirty.

Wait are you assholes defending customer service people lying to others by saying 'They are just doing their jobs?'

...hahahaha. What a load of crap. If your job requires lying to people, -you made the decision to work at an immoral position and are to blame for your immoral actions-. Period. Full stop. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 dollars.

If the only way you can think of to do your job is to lie to people, even though it's not technically required by the company? You are liar. You are a shitty fucking liar. Period.

Quit defending this kind of asinine behavior. It's a real peeve of mine when people justify shitty actions by saying 'Well it isn't a big deal'. Micro-bullshit creates piles just as big as the macro, people.

So... not only is my job potentially ending soon, but I was physically assaulted today. Headbutted, shoved, my glasses knocked off, and then the guy grabbed my arm and was pulling me towards the road saying he was going to 'throw me in traffic' when the cops arrived.

Everything is not coming up Milhouse.

My landlord told us if we want to pay late he understands. He also said if we need any sort of supplies he will spare what he can. We complained about our shower and he fixed it better than new. We had issues with the dishwasher and he gave us a brand new one. I really, really like my landlord.
