Arx is a really lovely game, but the fact that it has inspired such lovely feline art sets it apart from just about any other game I have been involved with.

@puppybreath

You are welcome to post a Critter Tiktok page so that everyone can also post links to their Tiktok pet videos.

This is the tyrannical abuse I warned everyone of.

@jibberthehut

Cat be like:

@jibberthehut

I love judgmental cats.

@jibberthehut

That is a cat who is judging the fuck out of you.

Bravo.

And archeologists lick rocks to find out if they're bone.

So, I'm hearing that archeologists lick rocks and bones.

No wonder they are so popular.

@chet said in River City Ransom MUSH:

A MUSH for special education students.

Combat system features four stats, standard for your character, and a secondary set for bonuses for your gang, if buffed, with an EQ set custom name to strip the buff, if you fit the special character class - listed below.

River City Ransom. You get a character, you get a gang, and a room, for a section of town, that gives you experience, for fighting in. You win a fight, in someone else's section, you steal their girlfriend, you get extra bonus points, in your section, for your gang, to pad your combat points, for attacks, that you lose, once you lose the fight. Female characters, are lesbians, they get an EQ bonus, from the shop, in the center city, the social area, that they have to RP in, with a grid token, to prove, they roleplayed with "Slick", the boss, whomever has the girlfriend, one maximum Slick, for all the women at a time, for the EQ, which gives them a special attack, in another person's quadrant, until they lose the fight, special attack lets them knock off the combat bonus for a round, twice a fight.

If I need to breakdown why, I am going to be very disappointed. I'll say it summarily:

• Don't use "special education students" in a mocking or derogatory way; some of us were "special education students," or had them in our circle of friends or family.

• We will not condone forcing any character of any gender into a particular sexuality or permit a game to advertise on this forum which does so.

If anyone wants further explanation, you're welcome to message me directly. I cannot guarantee that I will be patient with you if challenged on this decision.

@too-old-for-this

I'm scheduled for the J&J shot for April 1. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

J&J is less effective than the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, but its effectiveness is better than the average flu shot.

@wizz said in Mercenary Entrepreneurship:

Chet has a history of coming here when he's off his meds and pretty rapidly unraveling into incoherence.

It's when he unravels into ableist, sexist bullshittery that I have to do my fucking job here, and everyone knows how much I love doing that.

@tehom said in Mercenary Entrepreneurship:

The next time anyone bitches about lack of documentation for Arx I'll threaten to hire Chet to write it all.

There are threats that cannot be withdrawn.

@carma said in Mercenary Entrepreneurship:

I am strangely intrigued by everything Chet writes.

@derp said in Golden Road Pivoting to Contagion Chronicles:

I would strongly vote Mage-only. While 2E does very much level the playing field for the other supernaturals I think it would take more hand-holding than it is worth to get folks on the same page after 1E.

Normally I would concur, but the blurb for the sourcebook expressly suggests that it was created for the purpose of multi-splat parties.

@golgoth said in Mercenary Entrepreneurship:

he's suggesting his logic is on a different level because he believes he uses Theravada psychology (in the moment/non permanent) to defeat your simple yin/yang psychology (Jungian, more about self and opposition)

I am aware of this.

Theravada psychology is a good way to think beyond conventional logic to devise novel strategies to solve problems. It is a terrible way to sell a product, which is what he is trying to do. People exercise power in ways that are familiar to them.

He would be aware of this were he an entrepreneur.

@chet

And what interest would I or anyone else like me have in performing a transitional discourse?

@chet

If you are using a different kind of logic from Jungian logic, which a majority of people I believe use, then how will you hope to market your product to them?

I don't pay people to produce shit I don't understand.

@chibichibi

It’s interesting, but the task of world-building seems Herculean.

@chibichibi said in Golden Road Pivoting to Contagion Chronicles:

Just a reminder, this is 2E. So is there even other shifters in 2E?

There are the Changing Breeds. They are a bit different, but they are there or could be easily adapted.

What are the Contagion Chronicles?

@vixanic said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

Or Luc Besson. It would still make zero sense but it would be PRETTY nonsense.

@geeklure

This seems to be more of a Crawfish-sketch place. We have another Crafting Thread in the same area of the forum if people want to stick up other sorts of crafts.

Or if you have a particular craft of your own to advertise, I'm not against making a thread for that too.

@cupcake said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

You can be a Zionist and believe that the government is handling relations with the Palestinians terribly.

My side peeve is people who think that all Chinese people are part of or support the Chinese government. These are generally the same people who presume that all Americans should support the American government.

• You can be Chinese and believe that the Chinese government is corrupt as fuck.
• You can be Chinese and believe that Chinese people, especially those from the mainland, are racist as fuck.
• You can be Chinese and not believe in communism.

And so on.
