@Jeshin Anything less than a commitment by staff to investigate and punish the person responsible (to secure the game as a safe place for players without having to worry about sexual harassment) is disingenuous.
At the very least that staff should be placed on temporary suspension pending investigation.
Hope it all goes well.
@Jeshin (dryly) So, it could be any random person on the internet, out of millions, behaving like staff on Armageddon with game-level knowledge.
Could be some random non-player hacker in Chechnya pretending to be staff!
Sounds legit
Ultimately these people circle around to MSB to see what's being said about them. Happens every time, even with people who don't typically socialize here. Plenty of people keep accounts just in case.
So with that in mind...
This kind of fucked up behavior isn't less severe simply because it's online. It's very real sexual harassment. If the staff of this game don't remove that staffer from the game itself (not just staff, but the game) then they are stating that sexual harassment of players is acceptable on their servers or in relation to their platform.
At some point the line has to get drawn, regardless of it taking place over Discord. It was sexual harassment/quid-pro-quo in relation to the game itself. On any game I would run, that would be a perma-ban. Safety first
A MU set in a combined Willow/Conan universe.
I wanna see some awesome little people PBs fighting Jason Mamoa.
Follow-up.
Zork is important for two reasons...
It's pretty much t he progenitor "computer word choice game" and could arguably be considered the originating ancestor of MU'ing
The source code had been missing for years and was thought to be extinct
The Zork source code has been found and has been uploaded to GitHub
@Bananerz I like how it seems you've prioritized players' ability to create things and explore. I totally wish you well on this.
Its so crazy coincidental that super important things happened to Jesus on days revered by Pagans of the Roman Empire, who Constantine wanted to convert.

TMW you find out you may have been on the wrong side of something you were once neutral on, and that by remaining neutral you have been inadvertently allowing someone to get away with something horrid.
@Bananerz That's the wooorst.
A few weekends ago my Barb critted for like...8 damage
It was about as underwhelming as the Green Lantern movie
Fun headspace.
Technically, Halloween, Christmas, and Easter are all partaking in cultural appropriation.
@Ghost That's basically every single CW show. About 70% of the plot would be gone if only people with every reason to talk to each other spoke to each other.
I joke about Supernatural often:
On ODD numbered seasons, Dean is mad at Sam for sacrificing himself. On EVEN numbered seasons, Sam is mad at Dean for sacrificing himself. For the first 6 episodes of EVERY season they're angry at each other until the inevitable bro-hug moment.

@Wretched I kind of skimmed through Arrow out of necessity because I was drawing on an Arrow sketch card set once. I couldn't get into it; it really bugged me that that his facial scruff grew down his neck. Just .. shave, man. Shave that neck.
I liked that season of Arrow where all of his friends were angry at him for not sharing important information or making an executive decision without their consent.
Also known as: every season of Arrow
@insomniac7809 said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
Hallelujah is not a Christmas song, really, but fuck it--it's a good song, and I'll take the break from hearing Jingle Bell Rock as interpreted by every warm body that ever stumbled into a recording studio.
When you feel the need to replace the lyrics with some twee Nativity stuff I take issue.
THANK YOU.
Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen) isn't a fucking Christmas song, nor is it even a song about Christianity. Just like Hozier's "Take Me to Church", God-squadders dont read or care about lyrics and just automatically assume everything with some kind of Abrahamic reference is their stuff.
@faraday While I generally agree, I think that's a bit of a game of chicken.
If you're going to vote with your feet you have to accept that this means you may not end up with a MU to play on. Voting with your feet in MU can literally mean limiting your play options to having multiple nights with no roleplay at all. Is voring with your feet enough to risk not participating in the hobby to stand your ground on your ethics?
I was able to answer that question, for myself, of course.
Which is why I think people threaten to vote with their feet, but ultimately end up letting it go and just dealing with the problem or trying to find some new place.

@Tinuviel said in How to Approach (nor not) a Suspected Creep:
ending sentences with a preposition.
...has been acceptable for generations and the prohibition against such was prescriptivist bullshit from people that wanted to make English sound more like Latin, so nyah.
Is there some sort of grammar book that supports this? If it's not on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, then where?
