Running a PrP scene where everyone is awesome, and it goes on for six plus hours and it didn't even feel that long. Also the surprise about how the solved it all (even if I had vaguely thought it might go that way, I didn't expect it to) - so now there's even MORE story.
Oh gods, more story.
I spend hours trying to find the perfect PB for my characters (and I never really feel entirely satisfied), but a lot of the time I never even look at other people's PBs. I read their descs and an image sort of forms in my head. Sometimes that image does not at all fit with their PB when I look later. But, it doesn't bother me either. In the end, I don't care what their characters look like as long as they're fun to RP with.
@Seamus No deep thoughts since I am at work, but that show reeled me in fast and I watched 5 episodes yesterday.
I can't stop talking about my characters everywhere so no secret either. I play Jyri and Evaristo.
@surreality I was very sceptical of that show at the start, but was bored one weekend and started watching. I wasn't fully hooked the first... season or so? But Damon was the absolute fucking BEST in that show and I saw it all to the end mostly because of him. Love his capriciousness, his morally gray side, but the coming through to save everyone at the end-sorta thing. I admit, my Evaristo on Arx is a bit influenced by that (that gif-list is basically Evaristo in gifs), apart from Evaristo being much more sunny/cheerful and doesn't really do sarcasm - nor is he very cynical, at least not openly.
@surreality I've thought of adding it - it most definitely fits in in certain situations 
I'll throw it in!
@surreality I am shamelessly using gifs from Vampire Diaries for one of my characters on Arx... BECAUSE of that smirk (and other general antics). I'm not using him as a PB though but my character looks enough like him I could.
Either or, here's a gif-collection! https://imgur.com/a/mnVrmLx
@Quinn I really, REALLY wanted to come on that but just could not make it. I hope you do another, it sounded like so much fun.
That I switched to a local healthcare center because of reasons, and it's so nice to go to the one I went to as a kid and even more amazing, that this little hole of a place with less than 3000 inhabitants stand up against racism and other bullshit - the doctor is a foreigner and another doctor was starting his job there TODAY whose name is Mohammad (I don't know where he comes from) - he lives an hour away but drives here to work because this is the BEST healthcare center and the best little town that fight for each other and managed to show politicians that no, we don't accept you closing down our local healthcare. (sorry for the runon sentence)
That there's nothing wrong with my blood pressure or heart. Just a stupid loose crystal in the ear - but that will heal itself.
That there are so many amazing fun people to RP with
My two best friends are people I met through Mu*ing. I moved to the same town as one of them for a few years, before moving back closer to my parents. We've met many times and we play OTT regularly.
That said, I've also met some outright weird people via Mu*ing.
Edited to add: I was introduced to MUDs via a computer society I was a member of, so I had many RL friends who did that, and then moved on to MUSH/MUX back in the beginnings of time. Don't think either of them still play.
@Roz Yeah I wouldn't say I recommend it. It was the best situation for me, but I had the security and backup to do it, sorta thing - I'm not trying to make light of the situation or go all 'lol just quit' - because that is definitely not how things work most of the time. So happy that you got that job, by the way. Even if it means less Roz time in game.
@Sunny Quitting my old job was the best thing I did, even without having a new one. But, admittedly, I did feel fairly confident I'd find a new one - not hundred percent sure, but confident enough that taking that leap was definitely worth it.
I think many people underestimate themselves and get stuck in work they hate, because it is safe, and the unknown is scary. Just human nature, really.
I've done similar things in the past. Someone up here in this thread talked about getting rid of all their stuff, or most of it. I've moved all over the country a few times and each time I literally started over with new furniture. I once lived for three months without even a bed at one place - not because I couldn't afford one, not really, but because it was so liberating having almost NOTHING. I had a kitchen table and two chairs, a mattress on the floor in the bedroom, an armchair, a cheap table I bought in a second hand shop that I put a tiny 14 inch TV on, and a small desk for the computer. That was it, in my two-room apartment. Sure was easy to clean!
I stayed there for three years though so I got more furniture later on, but when I left and moved? I didn't bring anything with me (well apart from clothes and some of the china.)
I knew I'd get some more money from my old job - I had vacation days left, and overtime money (which always gets paid one month after over here, don't ask why).
I thought maybe I'd get around a 1000 dollars, if I was lucky - which together with savings would've kept me comfortable till I got my next salary for the new job.
I got 3891 dollars worth, and I start a new job on december the 2nd so I will get paid again end of december.
tries not to go crazy and buy a bunch of things
@silverfox Get a bigass well made globe of the Earth. Maybe it will help to stop some future flat earth bollocks. Plus, globes are fun.
When players are so awesome that the PrP you run is basically running itself. Had two of those lately, and can't wait to do more stuff.

My character just had a yelling at by COMMANDER SAMUEL VIMES!
Best thing ever!
