@l-b-heuschkel Oh, yeah. I'm pretty much wrapping up the one 'do your own thing' adventure where I invited others but had burned away my very last scrap of fuck before the event actually happened.

I have experienced and seen this on other games and had it seem a lot less egregious. The 'story points' thing I mentioned somewhere up-thread seems like it could solve a fair chunk of it.

Well, this thread turned weirdly masturbatory quicker than I thought it would.

@SixRegrets Not to worry. I hope I'll hear from you about it. Thanks.

We will use Ares, almost certainly with FS3. Anybody who wants to do some development and RP-master stuff, give a poke.

@pandora Ohhh, that one is shiny.

@tnp said in 'The Magicians' mechanics with FS3:

Gods, I hate FATE. But I'd prefer it over FS3. I don't hate FS3 at all but I think it encourages combat more than RP. That's not a fault of the system but the ones playing it.

Wot ones playing it? BSG players?

@Arkandel said in The Metaplot:

@Apos However it is also known in the hobby there is a type of player who wants to have the pie and eat it

Why do we suffer these people?

My answer: Not all games have a large enough playerbase to wave them off. Whether or not this is because we suffer these people is, honestly, something I don't think we can easily answer.

I just watched a group of people I was interested in RPing with join a game out of excitement then leave it relatively soon after because they felt the staffer was snarking at them. These people are patient, reasonable, intelligent people and they left because they weren't being treated right.

This is the wall I hit every time I try to play a Mu* with others, or think about this problem. I don't think it's a Catch-22 but in my mind it's a Catch-22.

I don't remember the name of his vampire but the person I'm thinking of played this dude: http://windycity.wikidot.com/elijah

Sometime in the murky past of WindyCity the Master of the City had gone AWOL for quite sometime. So I opened apps to Master vampires saying "your chance to app a master vampire and become master of the city, there'll be shit to do, etc. etc." It was guaranteed to no one and a crapton of folks went for it.

I lost several long time players because of how things went down with some factions of players and npcs vs some factions of players. Several people who had wanted to become MotC didn't get it and so bounced.

Elijah-player sometime later blasted me because I had screwed him over somehow. I don't remember how exactly but it had to do with him not getting to be Master of the City, or something.

@Alzie Thanks! I wasn't sure if there might be some good reason for it that escaped me.

Glad I could be of somewhat limited assistance. 😄

Is serenity mush still alive? In other news, I'm amazed this place is still going.

Anyone can declare Priscus independently. The guy who claimed it for Nos and named Tully as whip did not even consult Tully about that. 🙂 And has not replied to OOC or IC inquires thus far!
