In DA:O I got a dwarf and an elf to have gay male sex.

Ferelden took a big step towards civil rights that night.

I would play a Star Trek MU, especially if in the newly envisioned universe. I would also play a GotG themed Marvel game.

As to the idea of a pay to play MU?

Fuck that. Fuck that so much.

It seems half of the time I play a game, there are elements of staff and other players who cannot be expected to be ethical for free. The one saving grace that makes me eyeroll INSTEAD of getting angry at them for being unethical cunts is that it's free. It's not as if I was paying for a service and they took my money, pulled unethical OOC bullshit, and ran. I would say easily a third of the people who run MUs shouldn't be trusted with simple, free, fair ethics, let alone anything resembling monetary transactions.

Point in case: Zero from New Jedi Order was taking PayPal "donations" to boost people's characters, run scenes for them, etc. Like a pay to play mmorpg environment. The end result is people complained about paying for things and never receiving them, and his lack of grace turned to a lot of badmouthing his critics.

So. Yeah. Let's never change the landscape of this corner of the hobby from "for us by us" to "money making venture".

... I'm sorry that you don't like that we closed a game that you were having fun on because it wasn't going our way.

EDIT:
... I'm sorry that you don't like that we closed another game that you were having fun on because it wasn't going our way.

If any of you are upset that I just double posted...

Wait for it...

...mea tulpa.

@Wizz See? It's totally normal; totally harmless.

I'm sorry that I read this thread before morning coffee.

@Misadventure said in The 100: The Mush:

So you are in fact asserting that you cannot ever, EVER, say I am sorry you took it that way without being insincere?

Correct? No other possible meaning or circumstance?

Respectfully, I'm with @surreality on this one. If you say "I'm sorry you took it that way", you're ultimately saying "there was nothing wrong with my action, but I am sorry for your choice in interpretations of my action". Thus, it's tricky, but it's not an apology for doing anything. It's sympathy that someone else chose to interpret the situation incorrectly, which has nothing to do with the apologizer at all. It's not an apology.

So IMO there's no way to say "I'm sorry you took it that way" is an apology without some other apologetic statement tacked onto the end that you're actually apologizing for, like: "I'm sorry, I didnt think about how this might affect you."

@Coin said in The 100: The Mush:

It's like saying, "I do apologize you fell down," after you trip someone accidentally. Mother fucker, apologize for tripping me, not for my inability to catch myself adequately.

No, fuck you.

Happy birthday to the ground!

If I get into the tuplamancy thing, can I be this?

Because FUCK YEAAAAAAH BOI

...Jesus Christ.

How much of a blanket this reality fucking sucks statement is it if you choose to no longer be yourself and live the rest of your days as an imaginary My Little Pony character?

@Surreality explained it better then I will. I will just comment that this is the type of non-pology that is my opinion is worse then saying nothing.
If you really want to apology do so with out qualifier. That is an apology, the above is deflection in an apology skin suit. It might play well in the media as we see celebs and corporations do it all the time but no one is fooled.

Given the way he acted on the game, I wouldn't hold out hope for anything more genuine. During the last half to third of the game, it was a slapfight between Fiona and his characters for who could be the most unpleasant to have to share OOC space with. At least he wasn't also trying to be an IC peace ambassador while shitting in his own bed.

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER ABOUT TULPAS:

"Our IC baby isn't an uncoded npc object we roleplay around...
...
...
...
... it's our child."

NopeNopeNOPEnopeNopeNopeNOPEnopeNopeNopeFUCKINGNOPE

If the person I am rping with OOCly believes that their character is a real entity with emotions, etc, and they want to have an IC pregnancy, then the next logical step is the assumption that this IC baby may very well be an actual sentient child that we OOCly brought into the world together.

Oh. My. God.

I have nopechills so bad right now that it's giving me a fearBoner(tm)

Was just talking with @surreality about this and i said: The idea of someone OOCly berating me "How dare you treat <insert char name> like that! She has feelings, you know" makes my skin crawl.

The sheer number of people who MU that treat their characters as an extension of their OOC selves, one-upped a step further to be assumed sentient friends with feelings and human emotions, then inserted into fictitious settings with monsters, character death, and romance?

NopeNopeNOPEnopeN0pEnopeNOPENOOOOOOPE

I hate it when personality tests come across my Facebook feed:

WHICH POP CULTURE HERO ARE YOU???

Question one: How would you defend yourself in a dangerous situation?

1. Transform into a giant semi-truck robot and shoot them with lasers
2. Throw a batarang
3. Unleash your adamantium claws and berserker rage
4. Team up with five of your friends and attack with giant lion robots.

FUCK YOU. JUST ASK ME IF I WANT TO BE OPTIMUS PRIME

I'm about to passive-aggressively lure people into my tent for post-parent death BDSM rp...

...because I'm a very sexual person and prefer my rp to involve, naturally, domination and submission elements, especially in Transformers settings.

FINE. JESUS. YOU WIN, OKAY?

I expect tribute to arrive in the full of each moon, consisting of cattle, three casks mead, and each end of summer two youths to foster, and fine gifts celebrating our mutual regard.

You will get exactly what you deserve.

@Misadventure said in The 100: The Mush:

"Passive-aggressive behavior is the indirect expression of hostility, such as through procrastination, stubbornness, sullen behavior, or deliberate or repeated failure to accomplish requested tasks for which one is (often explicitly) responsible."

Making statements that you think recast your own statements, or sound snide is not passive-aggressive. Anything done to your face is by definition not passive.

FINE. JESUS. YOU WIN, OKAY?

@tek said in The 100: The Mush:

My character: just lost her parents, distraught
His character: "If you want to talk, I'll be in my room"
Me: goes to find him in his room for a scene. scene starts.
Him: "Btw, I'm into Dom/sub relationships." switches to second-person text
His character: starts getting handsy

Yeah. Not sure how else this could have been interpreted, dude.

Thats like a sneaky version of the VANDERSEXXX scene from Eurotrip.

Classy.

You know what the fifth stage of grief is?!?!?

I will never doubt humanity's current ability to find new cultural niches to explore, many of them I can't feel are created on purpose and there's a lot of sudden awareness campaigns to rush rush rush to convince people it's all normal and cool.

But just because someone says something is healthy for them doesn't mean it is. It's a little concerning just how much people are receding from each other to connect on a human level, IMO. This practice of creating niche societies that exclude others, surround yourself with people with the same world view, fighting back and forth against a society of people who don't understand the lifestyle decisions you've made because to them it's weird, or closely related to what they know of mental illness?

When I write a character, I try to make sure the dialogue and action comes through the voice of the character I have in mind, but I don't actually will the character into quasi-existence. I never lose sight of the character being fictional and the moment I start t behave as if I'm giving a fictional character sway over my RL decisions is the moment you all need to tell me to walk away from this hobby.

@Misadventure I knew you'd say that.
