@apos said in A (Mildly Complete) List of Current Games:

I'm optimistic, really. We have challenges, both cultural and technical, and an often hostile community that doesn't really provide a good foundation for games to succeed, and knowing all the shortcomings, I'd expect I would be pessimistic about the future, but I'm just not. There's a lot of roleplayers out there in newer generations, and MUs as a format still offer some things other games just can't. Brand new players are rare, but they do happen. I'm newer, after all, relatively speaking.

Will Kylo Ren's fabulous hair be there?

Instead of dogpiling we call it Hog Pitting.

Outside the pit it is politely disagreeing. Inside the pit it is disagreeing and trying to convince the target to die in a fire over a text game.

@SunnyJ said in Open Dates of New Games?:

Fallen World (Mage-only CofD) is in a 2 week time table now, so 24th~30th?

This should be sooner so we can marvel over the window dressing. IMO.

(hogpiling?)

This is now officially a thing. Danke.

Working on a thing for the thing at that place. So excite. Many words.

@surreality I am legitimately afraid of horror themes. Is it 'pee your pants a little bit' scary?

@Arkandel Yeah, what he said!

I am a one-alter, always.

In addition, I am suspect of (and not often fond of) people with 6+ alts, swapping them out every 1-3 months. I see instances of this with 15+ characters freezered, a play-life of 3 months max, and a need to have 6+ alts going at all times.

When do these people have time to sleep, pee, work, speak to fellow humans? I support their right/privilege to play like this. It's just not for me and I don't find meaningful long-term RP with these people... beyond those blessed 1-3 months.

@Arkandel Truth.

And don't get me started!

@Apu said in How Many Alts Would An Alt User Alt If An Alt User Could Use Alts:

They thankfully list their current/former PCs on their user page so it's not difficult to avoid them. My only gripe is that I really can't say I care for this person and for a while it felt like they had an alt in every single sphere just about. Thankfully they are down to three alts and the one sphere I am in with them is large enough that I can easily ignore them without gimping myself when it comes time to want to look for RP.

Disappointed that I know who you are talking about and avoid for the same reason.

@surreality said in How Many Alts Would An Alt User Alt If An Alt User Could Use Alts:

@Lotherio Generally, games that talk about a 1 alt policy don't mean you get two characters, they mean you get one and only one. (Which is only really relevant in this convo in the sense that the folks talking about 1 alt have been talking about one login/character only so far as I can tell.)

I was thinking one (1) this whole time. Whoops? Not whoops? Bottom line is, the idea of not seeing user pages with 8 current PCs and 38 retired PCs is appealing.

If this were a political rally, I would yell slurs at candidates I hate then forget to register to vote!

Can we all agree to put a pin in it for a moment?

I totally want to start my own game now!
