Jennkryst’s perspective is one way to look at it, sure.
Another is that, as a spirit cop, you have to also prevent spirits from having a way in. That means eliminating people who cause the problem.
You are also hunted by your brethren (The Pure) who think you murdered Spirit Dad. You have to protect yourself against that while respecting the rule not to kill another brother or sister.
There’s a lot to unpack in the game, and you don’t need to be a wolf or wolf blooded to participate.

My understanding is that, because Daredevil's face is masked, he's a LOT easier to stunt double for.
My understanding is that Iron Fist is, and has always been, a shit character idea.
Like: let’s make Batman, but with a super ninja power he inexplicably received from an insular culture, because, fuck, Iron Man isn’t enough of a fucking Batman clone.
@thatguythere said in FCs on Comic MUs:
How is that less unfair than leaving the rule vague?
Fairness isn't the issue. Whether the rule aims to fulfill whatever objective staff has is the only important measuring stick. Seems like the rule meets that.
Fairness? I think that FCs should be online at least once a day, and should be at the very least available to RP publicly for important matters when called upon.

This is some grim shit, folks.
Your synopsis is accurate, but this is also true for Vampire in many ways.
My favorite PC is a Changeling.
@admiral said in Good TV:
Iron Fist was peak White Savior bullshit. That said. They could have just made Danny Rand Asian and solved a number of the character's problems.
Wait, you can't do that, man.
I mean, you can make the Ancient and Major Kusanagi white, but you can't make white Danny Rand Asian, yeah?
@tempest said in FCs on Comic MUs:
Goddamn, that's harsh, even by my standards.
It is pretty harsh, I guess. I'm a harsh mistress. But, dammit, if I'm running a Thundercat MUSH, I'm going to want Lion-O around as often as possible.
I'd prefer once a day. Once a week would probably be tolerable. Once every two weeks and it'd be patently unreasonable for run any sort of active plot.
I just finished a move. Still getting back into the swing. Will be there soon.
The important part is that it is an actual order recorded in the U.S. Pacer system.
@ixokai said in FCs on Comic MUs:
Now, I have to somehow tally, note, keep in my head or in some database somewhere, the "activity" of 94 FC's according to some subjective determination of which RP "matters" (+2 Foiled Bank Robbery; -0 Coffee; +1 Team Building Exercise; -1 Romantic entanglement) and which doesn't, and determine from this who is making good use of their FC's and gets to keep them and who isn't.
You could ask your players to help you.
On WoD games, these metrics are generally not used to monitor the activity of PCs in important positions. When those position-PCs are not coming online, though, the players are expected to communicate this to staff.
Can't this also be done on Comic MUs?
For an FC like Iron Man, for example, if none of the Avengers raise a complaint about the character not being involved in meaningful RP I don't see the need for staff to intervene.
Maybe, if the onus is on the players to advise staff when certain FCs aren't really engaged, the matter of metrics will be obviated.

Everyone vote for Salty.
There will be booty.
Not eating carbs or sugars is pretty damn awesome.
Except when you're hungry.
Because, then, it feels like you're dying.
An odd feeling.
oddly arousing
@three-eyed-crow said in Make MSB great again!:
A sticky would be nice, and putting the developing games in the Constructive section for the actual feedback the creators seem to want instead of the ad section would also be nice, and moving the defunct games to some kind of thread graveyard would be even nicer.
How are we, the moderators, to know when games are defunct?
@RDC said in NOLA: The Game That Care Forgot:
I mean, it's a lot more like "whoever's willing to be the next to be murdered and also does something the Triumvirate likes more than the next person" than a vote, but sure.

Why do the son and the daughter-in-law think they have a claim on the wedding ring over the husband who actually fucking bought the thing and was wed with the woman? These people need 9mm parabellum of pain relief straight into the brainpan.
Normally, I'd concur, but this sort of bullshit requires a slow slide into death accompanied by the sort of pain and shame that comes with public immolation.
@apos said in Make MSB great again!:
I think removing games would still be reliant on someone posting that the game is dead. Sure, that could mean some games are on a list that are dead in all but name, but it's better than like wading through lists of a hundred non-RP MUDs with 2 players each on the other aggregates imo.
Do you think it would be good to cull the advertisements for games whose threads have showed no activity for 6+ months? Maybe a year?
I would envision sending the OP for the thread a little notice that the thread'll be taken down unless we hear from them.
If Obie's still learning the ropes, then it might still be a good idea to avoid the game for now. Last thing you want to do is flood the game, overwhelm him, and burn him out.

I've found people would put way more energy into trying to silence people than they will in showing love and acceptance to the targets.
I've found that the people, if given the opportunity to present their thoughts anonymously to a large group, will espouse extreme, hateful perspectives, and foment hatred against targets of their ire. It's like no one learned why the KKK wore hoods.
@ixokai said in FCs on Comic MUs:
My experience: Almost zero. And its been ... I don't even know. At least a year, going on year and a half to two?
Is your experience limited to your game? Because your game has a very definite time and scope, so I can see why there would be fewer issues regarding timelines or versions.
I can see how people may believe there to be a massive discussion about timelines on other games. I mean, it seems that there's an awful lot of discussion of this nature for a game like UH, for example, but I'd like to hear it from those players.
@RDC said in NOLA 2: Back in the Vieux:
The Racial Slur Database specifically calls "Nubian Princess" out as a racial slur, for example, because in the wake of the movie Friday, white folks just...uh. Took that shit and ran with it in the wrong direction.
I first became acquainted with it from Go.
Re: Sweating and not feeling it. Thats the whole reason i swim. i can push myself and not feel like I am dying. It's been amazing for my health and motivation to keep working out. having a gym nearby with a pool open at 2am is great too.
Ain't that the truth, friend.
When I was competitively swimming, I also experienced crippling foot pain after practices, which was due to me using my legs as my primary propulsion mechanism (as it should be). So, stretching your calves and feet before a swim also helps. Consider the calf-stretch along a wall too, or giving your foot the old grip-and-roll for a minute.
Good on you for the working out, though.
And that fathead dough recipe you gave me was the holy shitballs of the weekend.
But, that might be something to start adding to my mental checklist: if I start getting worse cramps around when I'm dealing with sugar imbalance issues (me and my doctors have never been able to pin down my overall leg issues; it'd be swell if I could narrow it down somehow!).
Your cramps could be due to a selective amino acid deficiency, which is sometimes a side-effect of diabetes. Not having the right levels of amino acids like taurine can cause fatigue and cramping, and branched-chain amino acid supplements can lead to relief from cramping.
You might want to check with your doctor about taking some AA supplements.
