@Miss-Demeanor Level 50, have multiple citadels in multiple places and...who is Shaun again? I haven't even spoken to Valentine yet.

@derp

Well, I mean, I can’t eat a whole baby these days, I’m old, wtf.

You don't eat them whole, Jesus Christ who raised you? Chew your food, dammit.

@Miss-Demeanor Go to LynnWoods, ring the siren. Go on. Do it.

@Juniper

I, personally, loathe the Super Friend routine and often distance myself from it when I see it as I recognize my first instinct is to piss all over it and then set it on fire. Hooooweverrrr, using that example and your own, you inevitably come back to Staff being the arbiters between players and at each crossroads because, you know, drama.

@Arkandel said in Universal Basic Income:

@Ganymede Also 'basic' will be a hell of a variable to define.

Basic is well defined in Swedish Law, it's calculated each year based on the expected minimum amount of money to buy food and necessities in a given month(Currently around $300). I think basic income makes sense because noone wants to be unemployed and the bureaucracy involved in welfare is both dehumanizing and a huge waste of money.

Pretty sure the United States Military already has a scale for basic monthly income and expenses.

Swinging back around this game a couple of years later, the main form of plot development seems to be constant charity drives and I just want to burn the whole thing to the ground.

I'll hand you the matches. I won't tell you what to do but, you know, here's some matches.

@mietze said in RL Anger:

I mentioned women because yes, on the surface maybe a lot of people might think Awww what a nice/special thing, but I think it's mostly other women that might feel that twinge of assault alert if it actually happens to them. Maybe guys would feel scared in that way though, dunno.

And yeah, it's the couple of requests that are denied followed by weird visit that freaked out my suite mate where he refused to give his name and made her feel uncomfortable enough that she warned me in a email about some stranger looking/asking about me, and then this final letter last night revealing his identity.

Though in my case this would be showing up with all that stuff after 30 years. In case anyone was wondering, it's not romantic. I get FB messaged from old boyfriends now and then (it is a thing that people look up people they used to feel attached to, I've reconnected with a couple of junior high besties who have become solid friends again).

But something about this really creeps me out. still feel disturbed.

You need a snub .44, and also maybe an Order of Protection.

I've been a Pizza Angel, so.

@Duntada said in RL things I love:

I am still so torn on who to support in New Reno.

On the one hand I have ancestors who were part of the Blackfoot Tribe, and that's actually who the legion are... on the other hand NCR, have to represent the west coast.

Legion. Because.

@arkandel

As someone who religiously plays / played vampires, do you really want me to describe how you can quite easily set up legal vehicles in order to maintain a vampire lord's possessions over time without resorting to the use of Disciplines?

Yes.

10/10, if you see me shopping? Fuck off, I am on a mission.

It's called 'splash damage's for a reason, you ninnies. Go cry to the healer.

@thebird

I vote you put a box of fireworks under her bed.

I like the examples. What I am noticing is, and I'll use BSG as a template; is that Packs, Cotories, Cabals and Houses are like their own ship. Each with a Captain. Each ship is run a certain way. A Theme. Now, outside of that ship is Genre, which is where the NPCs come in, and Staff can guide a whole came with soft-touches. Two Captains in a BSG, with two different perspectives, can be considered right, while within their own ships. Outside of them, you have to give over to the Genre/General Consensus.

It is seeming to work relatively well in various places I play and sometimes lurk; like a horrid, slippery, fat catfish. Lurklurklurk. Anyways; I really think Staff only needs soft-touches and to be used as an OOC Peace Officer and even Intermediary between players. As for Captains? Well. Don't like one? Slit his throat and push him overboard - it worked for pirates pretty well.

@silentsophia

Define..'can't live without'? >_>

@Admiral That is why, as Staff, you give a soft-touch..

@Cobaltasaurus I used to work in the lumber yard part of a hardware store. 15 mins before close, dudebro pulls his truck into the lumber lot (without having made a purchase), and heads into the store. 14 mins later, he returns with an invoice. Guy bought enough stuff to build a garage - including insulation and shingles.

He hands it to my coworker who looks at it and says, "Nope. Come back tomorrow." Dudebro gets cranky, but none of us are backing down. He wants the manager, who comes out and gets the story (keeping us open with his truck, etc) and tells Dudebro that he can come back tomorrow at 6, or spend the evening with the guard dogs that we hire to protect the yard, but the gate will be locked.

I loved that Manager...

I do that now.

I have told DHS and FBI who forgot their passcards into a facility to get stuffed, they shrug and walk off for an unpaid day.

Contractors at this yard I am at blow their top. It is glorious. I love it. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

I also started on MUDs in 98. Little late to the game I suppose. My favorite thing I found in there was finding a message for thieves if you scored a killing blow with an eye gouge it would send a graphic description of you jamming your fingers onto their eyes and driving them back until you hear a crack and find your fingers covered in brains... then it increased by about 50 percent your chance to spawn brains or an eyeball. Both of which could be cooked and eaten

Forgotten Realms, ftw. Illithid Psionicist.

Eating your brains.

...I wonder if Toril is still active.
