People don't want my kind of attention, because it often brings vulgarities and kitty videos.

coughs, points to her username

People who require social media proof of your love and gratitude for them. People=my mother.

"How come you never post pictures of me on your Facebook? Are you embarrassed? Why don't you thank me for everything I do for you on there?" Followed by a thirty minute rant about how clearly I'm only posting to FB to make men jealous (????) and to hurt her feelings.

Because apparently saying the good things to her face multiple times a week doesn't count. We all know it only counts if it's on social media, right?!

I often re-read my posts for tone and intent. One time, I was revising a post of mine because I decided that I had missed the mark I was aiming toward, and someone got in a lather that I edited a post like I was now making them look like a jerk, though they never edited their post or explained their original meaning. I didn't think it was a big deal, but I was pretty relentlessly attacked on it to the point where I felt it was time to shut them down. It irked me seriously at the time, but eh, bad communications happen, we live and learn and do better next time.

On previous versions of Wora, someone almost always had the deleted post in their buffer so they could (and many times did) offer up the original. With the async nature of Soapbox's forum software, the best we can hope is that someone is responding as an edit (or, as Raptor used to do, copied over to a text file) so they can be called out on it.

Of course, all things being John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory, it's too easy to call someone out on something that, in the rest of society, is not that big a deal. The screen makes far too convenient a shield.

I'm just waiting for someone to make and delete a post in this thread.

Sadly, after a while the deleted post is actually deleted, and the joke of someone, probably @Arkandel, writing a post and deleting it will be lost unless someone makes a screenshot.

(Hint hint.)

You should do that!!!! Yeesh Also, I can't even upvote @Arkandel for being funny because the post is deleted.

I'm just waiting for someone to make and delete a post in this thread.

@Arkandel said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

@Kestrel There's a difference between accepting your body for what it is, or at the very least being okay with the fact you'll never be perfect (because you never will be)

When you get closure for your character, with another character, and it's a perfect moment in time, and you wouldn't change a thing about the scene, AND it drives further character development in a huge way for your PC.

Hey guys, if it was Thenomain's birthday, and you wanted to code something to wish him happy birthday, how would you do it?

(p.s. not saying it's Thenomain's birthday today... WINK WINK)

... because tis the season! What's the best geeky/game-related present you've ever received?

He IS a shiny thing!

Request: Please tweak code to be sunny all the time (except between the hours of 3am and 6am, when it can rain so human life might be sustained) IRL.

Apologies here should start with "I regret nothing!"

Yes, he was completely shameless in approaching female characters through pages to get them to play with him, and it was pretty damn obvious he was working hard to create a harem there.

And he never once asked me to join his harem.

I, sir, am offended.

You would have eviscerated his manhood. Self preservation!

@skew said in Welcome to Fallen World MUX!:

That said, I know I personally have been falling short on my job and ST duties. It has nothing to do with other games, and everything to do with big changes to my real life situation. Should settle down soon, and I'll be back at it!

I read that as TS duties. YEAH you have!

@Ominous

So Tolkien. Fair enough.

As if there's anything better.

My favourite is a personal concoction! I use vanilla bean, and then loose leaf chamomile, lavender, and ginger all together. SO GOOD!

As an aside, you are doing an excellent job.

You're very kind, because I don't think I've done shit. I put up a Board post, but no one responded. And I'm not on when everyone else is.

Still, anyone's welcome to get in and join. It's real simple: bring yourself. It's comic-book-ish and clichéd, but it's as fun as anyone wants to make it. Win or fail, make it as brutal and violent as you want; it's all "improv" RP, so it's all good.

Beating up NPCs is better than sitting in shops, right?

The one scene I saw, you were doing an excellent job of getting people involved. It was nice to see. Take the compliment!

@Arkandel said in Plotted versus plotless scenes:

... these kinds of social scenes can happen organically but plotted multi-part stories absolutely cannot.

Why not?

On Fallen World, I'm running a local drug ring's take-down. It doesn't have shit-all to do with the game, but it's an opportunity to meaningfully RP. Sometimes I'm running the scene; sometimes it's someone else. We pass the time pleasantly, and recently pulled someone else into it.

It's organic because it just happens. It's plotted and multi-part because it is.

I mean, it's really as simple as "Shrike is an Arrow that enacts street justice! Come join!" And we get our kicks by just playing pretend.

As an aside, you are doing an excellent job.

This may or may not be helpful in your situation, but if you can't manage to raise the full amount by November most of the bigger airlines allow pets to travel unaccompanied, as long as they have their vet certificates in order. You just need someone to check them in, and then someone to pick them up at the other end.

People who expect you to constantly, vocally be grateful to them. I get less and less grateful each time.
