@Sammi You're assuming that these are people who don't know the state of my mental health condition.

Thank you for your brilliant observation and critique about how to fix my mental issues, and for your dismissive, superior attitude.

The converse: if you don't believe that my advice will help fix your issues, then please avoid telling me as I'm conditioned to suggest solutions when people bring problems.

Not accusing you of foisting your problems on others, but I work in a field where people do this. And then, they don't listen to me or others when we're really trying to help them.

I imagine you don't use a dismissive, superior attitude when you do it, in the form of 'oh just do X, as it will solve all your problems?' If you do, then the peeve still stands. People who use the 'oh hey, have you tried X?' or 'what do you think about trying X?' approach don't raise the same hackles. (p.s. X doesn't work. Bad stuff. Probably what caused my anxiety in the first place... damn younger, wilder years)

@VulgarKitten Just breathe! I don't know what your deal is. God. All you have to do is get over it. IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

Right??? Why didn't I think of that? It's like my brain just shuts down or something...

Anxiety and panic attacks. I'm not sure 'peeve' is a strong enough word. Maybe the peeve is when people say 'oh just do X (think positively, ignore it, meditate, exercise, take meds, etc)' to get over it. OMG I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT in the 3 years I've been dealing with it! Thank you for your brilliant observation and critique about how to fix my mental issues, and for your dismissive, superior attitude.

Seems like I've been there already, awhile back, but got stuck in CG. Bet you can guess the name!

Best books. I should really check this MU out. I don't know why I haven't before now.

I would help in any way, except complex coding. Basic I can do, but the major stuff is beyond my ken.

@Autumn brings up very good points. The thing is, for people who want the Princes and Princesses? There's already a game for that. Go check out RtA. There's nothing wrong with creating a new scenario for those who are interested in that scenario. Why is this even a debate, instead of people tossing out what they do want to see, within a specific context? Tell me the novel things you want, as opposed to the things you could have that are already out there.

I'd be up for this, save that I have very little code knowledge. I did try to start a game like this not so long ago, Legends of Amber, where the Princes were long gone, and it was set in the Courts of Chaos. I could do the desc'ing etc, just not the code necessary, and the coder I had was just doing it on his free time, which he didn't have a lot of (totally understandable), so it never got off the ground. I think I still have the site address etc.

Joooooachimmmmmmm! It's your favourite Mystie, Laaaaara!

@Misadventure Confusing two. I was the Catriona after Morgance player froze, the current Catriona.

@BetterJudgment Agreed. I started there back in 1999 and there were much better rules in place then. You had the occasional prancing elf, but it was overall a decent tribute to Tolkien. And I am super picky about my Tolkien, too, @Arkandel. Should try and revive Elendor to be a purists' dream.

@Arkandel Stop playing with horrible players, boo!

If enough people go, it's certainly possible. I can't believe I'm the only Tolkienophile around these parts!

@Luna You know I miss your face!

This is my short list of PCs, huzzah. Mostly looking for folks I knew on Elendor. That place needs fresh blood.
