@Kanye-Qwest no and now I'm really regretting not trying to see if FiddleYourDiddle was available.

@Kanye-Qwest that's hilarious. I did the same thing with Fiddlesticks for those phat ARAM wins.

When in doubt, play League of Legends with me. ARAM 4 Lyfe.

("hey baby, I'm playing a Ventrue Elder on RfK, you wanna come to my apartment and I'll show you my +sheet?").

I'm so lost. Thanks a lot, @Auspice.

I generally loathe a lot of the current pop lingo. Bae, fleek, thirsty, ratchet, etc.

@Coin if you ever want to play together with a prearranged relationship, you let me know. Whether that's lovers or otherwise. Okay, let's just stick to the otherwise.

I'll play a henchman for you or @Royal any day.

@Kanye-Qwest shaddup.

@Kanye-Qwest

I know exactly why I'm in the situation that I'm in. My above comments were not a complaint, merely an observation. As I said I've been enjoying myself on Arx, it's been a delightful change of pace for me from my normal genre(s). I recognize that it's a matter of remaining patient and essentially waiting my/our turn and that's okay. While I'm okay with waiting in the wings I know that not every new player to a game is okay with that. They want to jump into the action with both feet and hit the ground at a sprint.

So, again, don't take my observations as complaint or even a negative mark on the game. Arx is a good game, solid staff, and friendly players. My words should be taken purely as advice and not a warning.

@Ominous thank you for that astute observation.

@Coin said in MU Things I Love:

Planning things almost always ends up in some sort of stall or whatever. I dunno.

Skullcano Island.

I play an OC in a rather confined role. My advice if you do go the route of creating an OC: make sure that you talk to those in the @org that you intend on joining at length. Make sure they're going to stick around, make sure that they're going to be available for play, make sure they're going to keep you involved. It's one thing to regularly remind people that you're willing to get involved, it's another for the olive branch to actually be extended. Mind, that doesn't mean that I'm unhappy with Arx. So far I'm loving the game. I just recognize that very specific choice for an OCs role, devoid of established family, and generally devoid of much beyond his little tower has limited my own options. It forces you to be far more proactive in your pursuit of role play, which is ultimately only half the battle while being everything one can do for the most part.

Staff on Arx has previously been pretty vocal that they don't wish to hold new players of a @roster character too closely to what a previous incarnation had going on. There's some liberty available for players to do what they wish with a character, within reason(I imagine). Like, if you decide your style doesn't mesh with Jim, then there's not a problem with your character becoming distant from Jim. I suspect that it's sweeping changes they want to avoid. The devout clergyman of the past 40 years suddenly deciding he wants to become a courtesan, or something. This segment is considerably shorter only because I have not played a @roster character yet, so I have less insight there.

Step one: get a box.
Step two: cut a hole in that box.

Wait, wrong directions.

MUDconnector is one that I used in the past, though most often I rely on MU Soapbox these days. Most commonly it seems and feels like word of mouth tends to be the biggest draw of the masses. It's how I frequently discover a new game. A friend contacts me, tells me about a cool new game, and I check it out. It's rare that I make the first move in regard to new games, without someone already in place to give me an idea that a game is fun and worth taking the time to CG into.

@Cupcake said in Help With Played Bys:

That is a huge peeve of mine. I'm okay with "Hollywood Aging"

Now I have it in my head that I want to use present day John Hurt for a early 30-something character.

@Cupcake said in The Apology Thread:

Like...why are you complaining about someone you didn't like anyway leaving the game?

Probably because they were losing a victim. Being a bully gets boring if you have no one to bully.

When incredibly awkward situations that should rightfully feel incredibly awkward, do.

When incredibly awkward situations that tend to result in some players foaming at the mouth and dragging their ass on the carpet, don't.

Combine these two things and you've had a great scene.

@Miss-Demeanor said in House Rules vs Rules as Written:

could easily have been solved simply by telling someone 'this is how it works per the book, follow it'.

This part seems really, really, really, really familiar.

@Warma-Sheen said in House Rules vs Rules as Written:

You won't get a benefit at the bar scene or the coffee shop scene or the TS scene, but you generally don't need the merit there.

You feel that perhaps that sexual position while sipping your latte may be far too advanced for you, despite being a thrice-virgin ninja vampire wizard demon. You seem to think that an attempt could leave you with a rather nasty cramp. If you wish to proceed anyway, then roll Dexterity + Athletics with a 3 dice penalty.

I beg to differ, I believe it's most useful there.

@Misadventure said in Cheap or Free Games!:

Maaan, The Division.

I've only recently started playing The Division so I do not know whether the problems you described have been fixed or not. I will say that I have saw many people who have played or do play mention that the steps they've recently taken to balance things have been a big improvement toward improving the end-game content. Again, I've only recently started playing myself so I can not confirm myself.

They also released some expansions, one of which I want to pick up, that basically turns it into a survival mode; even against the weather and from what I was reading could last up to 4-6 hours of gameplay per "match". Which has both a PVP and PVE mode available.

More often than not I just find myself exploring. I enjoy that aspect of the game. Log on, shoot some jagoffs, explore some train tracks, log out and return to MUSHes.

Edit: And if anyone decides to give The Division a try, let me know. I could use folks to run around with.

@Coin said in House Rules vs Rules as Written:

You should not let people House Rule things on your game willy-nilly.

This is pretty much where my general distaste for House Rules and "custom content" comes from. A previous game I played and it's secondary incarnation is guilty of this. Beyond the point of being able to readily measure just how much has been HRed and the obvious jockeying to make one aspect of the game "better", while neglecting many aspects that could have used a new shiny coating for their respective turds.
