    • RE: Well, this sums up why I RP

      @Pandora Fucking so say we all.

      The only thing I'd add is that the OTHER major difference between an author and a role player is that an AUTHOR is someone who is intentionally trying to use the craft of writing a novel to create an entire story, cast of characters, and plot all by themselves for the purpose of publication with regular edits and chapter-focused scenes. A ROLEPLAYER is someone who is socially playing a form of make-believe for their own enjoyment, be it with text or dice or handcuffs or plaid skirts.

      Mercedes Lackey (ole MMO clanny of mine) once told me "Roleplaying isn't writing". She is 100% right. Writing is a whole lot more than just making a character and trying to showcase it, and IMO if people on these games stopped considering it to be some kind of avant-garde writing showcase it might be a more inclusive environment.

      Wanna write? Go for it. Create a plot, characters, and get into the craft of writing dialogue between 2+ characters, forging moving chapters, and wrapping it up into the great American novel. I'm sure plenty of people are willing to help edit.

      Idea: When the new Predator game comes out on PS4, we get a group of MUers together and play.

      Got a question for people in the gay community.

      What are the rules of engagement for disclosing if someone has HIV?

      I know how I'd handle in with straight folk or other folk (really, it's not that difficult), but I'm in the know enough to know that in the gay community PreP is in play, but there are also bug parties, etc. My uncle was exposed due to lack of disclosure, and so the "let people do their thing" puts me in a bad headspace.

      So, say I have a friend who is HIV positive. Say another gay friend meets HIV positive friend and they flirt. I know sometimes the time frame between meeting and fucking can be very small.

      So, if this situation arrives, at what point is it okay to disclose that person A is HIV positive if I worry that person B might be exposed through lack of disclosure? Where do you set the meter in being a good friend? What if they havent met yet but you know it's a possibility? Do you just say "Hey, DUDE is cool, but promise me no matter what you dont go there with them" or do you quietly say "Psst, I know you said they're cute but steer clear. Medical reasons".

      Note: This situation isn't currently happening, but I could see it happening. So I want to be prepared.

    • RE: The Art of Lawyering

      @Derp I'm talking about the highly important and underappreciated task of providing legal support for birds as clients in civil and criminal legal matters.

      When a bird comes to me upset that some human shot at him or her with a pellet gun? Most lawyers would say "birds have no rights", but this is not true.

      We all could come together and make a pretty nasty law firm.

      Let me know if you need that Bird Law gap filled, but I am also willing to work as a consultant for your Bird Law needs.

      I'm with @Ganymede

      While I loved the Mandalorian, I feel like the following statements about it are true

      • It is a wonderful live action Star Wars effort
      • It is easier digestible
      • Its greatest strength and weakness is that it hinges heavily on cowboy/samurai/lone wolf and cub
      • At times it seemed too self aware of its own fandom
      • Does it receive an instant pass because of Mandalorians and Baby Yoda?
      • Well done on the Clancy Brown cameo

      The Witcher is a concept that is more fresh, more adult, and IMO has more depth. I dont know where either series is going to go, but I know where Mandalorian won't go, so there are limiting constraints.

      Witcher vs Mandalorian. Who won?

      Google Analytics has released a graph based on account signups correlating with the release dates of each show. Witcher is blue.

      Advantage: Booty McSilverfox
