@krmbm Fara says she's getting a patch out. We will see. Right now, I am having a conversation with this player.

OK. Thank you, @krmbm -- I think @Seraphim73 and I are going to be having a frank discussion and probably followed by precautious. Um, could you also PM me about what went wonk with your siteban on GH? Just so we don't have duplicated issues.

He is most certainly on TSS.

@krmbm and @bear_necessities -- could you two maybe PM me about what happened with him on GH? I'd like to probably take some precautions as we have had reports about him, and have been trying to navigate what is the line between "innocent behavior being perceived badly" and actual concerning behavior.

Based on this post, I believe we might be dealing with someone who should be politely shown out before escalation.

All set! We're back. Hopefully we won't break anything again.

Hi all-- We're having some technical difficulties and the game is temporarily down and we should have it up soon! @Seraphim73 or I will drop a note on here one we're back.

@faraday has been a good friend since BSGU, and I have loved watching Ares grow into what is the most inclusive platform I've ever worked with (both as a player and admin). She's incredibly helpful, a good-hearted person, and has a very down-to-earth approach to everything. There is no way that we could have been so active in this community without both Ares and FS3.

Always grateful for you, Fara!

Hi everyone--

I just wanted to let you all know that we have removed the offensive, racist video linked to that character's profile and mailed them directly about it. To the other notes about the theme and our choices, @Seraphim73 and I are working on a response because there are things here that should be addressed.

If something does come up like this again (the video), please drop us a note on the game or here. We will handle it swiftly. As noted in our policies, this game is not here to give someone the place to play out their hate fantasies.

@Deviante Let us know if we can help!

... that is if the game felt overwhelming.

If it's life, right there with you. #ughadulting

I'm stoked.

@surreality I thought the apology was pleasantly written and you tried your best to not turn it into a drama web (though human nature indicates we can't resist a chance to spin up drama).

I'm super stoked at the idea of playing another KOTOR-era game.

And @Seraphim73 has basically been bouncing around all day about this, so. There's that.

The one idea I know he mentioned to me, but maybe didn't see, was the idea of starting with all the Force Users as Jedi and then the splinter happens with Revan. That is just beautiful from a storyteller perspective.

Thanks for all the help everyone!

I'm now happily using Atlantis. I even like the sidebar with the activity stuff now.

Haha.

I'm happily giving Atlantis a go.

@Sparks If there's a way to individually set the background color and text color for the input window, let me know; otherwise, that might not be a bad feature for 2.0. Otherwise, I've done some fiddling and it at least looks a bit more familiar.

While I'm not as crotchety as some (I'm looking at you, @Seraphim73, who still uses an outdated zMud), I do miss the white bg and black text for the input window.

I've tried to change the color settings under World Preferences, but it changes the whole thing. I just get twitchy when my INPUT window is white-on-black, but I want to keep the output window white-on-black.

I have no idea if I'm making sense.

@auspice bursts into tears

Okay. Atlantis.

Perhaps someone who is savvy can just let me know how to change the input box so it's white with black text and that text is a different font than the monospace of the output window?

That's probably all I need to cope.

I did something dumb and upgraded my Mac OS to Sierra and now my Potato client doesn't work. It looks like I need to find a new client. I'm aware of Atlantis, but I'm also fear change.

I'm happily taking suggestions.

@Ghost said in Fires of Hope: A Star Wars Story:

I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? Motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then one day . . .

I had the TRON soundtrack playing in my head...

@Avarice said in Fires of Hope: A Star Wars Story:

@GirlCalledBlu For the record, I also don't enjoy building grids.

You don't say.

I've actually been getting a lot of zen from designing wiki's for games. Working on about 3 of them at the moment. If anyone ever needs wiki help (specifically for wikidot), it brings me joy, and I'm happy to do it with or without access to +requests for wiki stuff. @Avarice just hates managing the wiki and doing icons, so I said I was happy to do it.

And yes, I also do some grid work now and then because... it also brings me joy. Must be all those re-watchings of Field of Dreams (if you build it, they will come).

I have no more input than any other player on game decisions.

Just to be totally transparent since it has come up.
