I think @surreality is onto something awesome, and I'll be there.

When it comes to Lovecraftian/Aliens, the thing to remember is that in Lovecraft's writings, it was gigantic ziggurats rising out of the middle of the sea, and the doomed crew of the ship had no radio, no GPS, no tomahawk cruise missiles. Just ropes. Some pistols. Some ARRbecue sauce. Same thing goes for Cthulhu, Dagon, the Mountains of Madness. The technology level made being in the open sea with strange creatures a terrifying concept (or in Mountains case, in Antarctica). So, I think these ideas are an amazing addition to the setting, one that will have some definite life to it. Imagine:

• Pirate/Buccaneer crews chasing against time for mythical treasure?
• MONSTER ATTACKS
• I could go on and on, but there's no point. I've been chatting with surreality and she's had a keen eye on trying to put something together for the players, with no-nonsense policies, cool skill ideas, etc. I think she's onto something worth keeping an eye out for.

HELL, for the general Black Sails love both surreality and I share, the game will be in good hands. I could care less if there's a 7th Sea game in development. I prefer this idea.

I think it's fucking embarrassing that we have virtual reality F35 Raptor Fighter Jet helmets before we have certain parts of the world where rape can be legally defended by skirt size.

I swear to fucking god, we're gonna have X-Wing starfighters with working hyperdrives before people upgrade from shaved ape

@Misadventure My instincts tell me that this idea would end badly. Subjectivity is wielded like HellHathNoFuryNapalm(tm) by some of these people.

Like the time, after getting yelled at via pages and being let in on some very personal, unsolicited marital issues (and tooooook a step away from the person because I cannot(will not) be held responsible for so much RL well being of, really, a total stranger), was accused of: Purposefully making her fall in love with my character and then sociopathically breaking her heart, on purpose, for my enjoyment

Yeah, let's give people unfettered, subjective player reviews. I get that some people are hurting, some take the hobby more seriously than others, and some can take it or leave it, but I think, in the end, such a thing would just be used by the subjectively jilted to fuck people (they want to scorn) from finding rp.

@surreality yeaaaaaaaah it seems like a double-edged sword. Vengeful morons could use it for the purposes for evil, but then again, I don't think we've had too many issues on MSB with people trying to make details/flak about other players permanent.

I guess it all comes down to who moderates it, and if something really screwed up gets posted on the wiki, if it can be wholly removed. I've been linked plenty of times to history entries on wikis that weren't the current state of the content, but a washed-over history entry containing the gossip-worthy stuff.

It was rhetorical, but alrighty.

@Auspice It was pretty low-brow. It was used as a way to copy details of MU stupid human tricks, bad descs, All-Star wora personalities, and general fuckery.

Basically, imagine someone chronicling the general conversation threads in the hog pit, saving it, and keeping it in a location where everyone could go and look up how much people hated you.

@Cupcake Actually, I don't know. Did someone put something about you or someone you care about in there?

I didn't make the wora wiki, but I knew a few who did.

@FiranSurvivor I'm amazed there isn't a new one. Wikidot has got to know who we are. We create and abandon wikis more frequently than Kardashians get married.

• Green Ronin's Song of Fire and Ice: because if one must Lord&Lady, then a proper system for social dueling with winners and loses will help.

Yes. This. Any game that focuses on politics should have concrete rules for political "combat."

Yeah, that social/political combat system answered a hard problem I was having with my gaming group, and could potentially answer a problem in MU: My players treat every NPC as a potential villain, and thus, everyone who isn't them gets the mushroom treatment

A social/political 'combat' puts the scene back in the character's hands and cuts out the quasi-metagamey OOC-INFORMATION-COMPARTMENTALIZATION factor.

• Eclipse Phase
• Cthulhu Tech
• Cortex (Firefly/MARVEL via Margaret Weis)
• Green Ronin's Song of Fire and Ice: because if one must Lord&Lady, then a proper system for social dueling with winners and loses will help.

I'll still find a way, damn it.

Incidentally, "still around" is a shitty metric of success.

@Paris I'll have to look from home. No way in hell am I gonna risk getting caught googling "prurient perfume" for the purposes of making a character who secretes lube, from my phone, from work.

Fuck it'd be less embarrassing if I got caught looking at porn.

Just ask @auspice. I only eat her tube steak.

#goldcardstr8

Seriously, what book/resource is this in, because I just googled and saw you can make vestments with prurient perfume, and I'm not above making making a Spring Changeling named: Johnny Lancome

Okay I made it okay on Random Bitching. We good.

@surreality shit. Okay. Fixing something.

@Paris said in Faceless' Playlist:

@Ghost Presence 5 darkling or tunnelgrub or something, prurient perfume or whatever merit that was.

Mark my words, the rest of the MU community will rue the day you told me this, Paris.

Damn it. I could have made an amazingly popular character if he could secrete baby oil, lube, or pumpkin scented hand lotion on queue.

NEW ANGER: @Auspice TRIGGERING ME WITH PICTURES OF PASTEL MEAT SCALES.

I will gladly pay 400 @pennies for her eyes in a jar by sundown.
