Hilariously they fired themselves when I told them bluntly, "Stop doing this, period, and no, you cannot continue to indulge in your unthemely mind control fetish either." They just up and dropped everything but one alt. Problem solved.

RE: Game of Bones
I have no idea why people are complaining about that scene, considering everything else that has happened in that entire show. "More of this delicious baby sandwich please -- WAIT, YOU LEFT IN THE EYES? THAT WAS UNNECESSARY AND AWFUL, I WILL NEVER EAT BABY SANDWICHES FROM HERE AGAIN."
Also checking out the game. Sounds interesting.

@JaySherman Isn't that just the worst?! I eat under my BMR though and never eat back exercise calories. I went from morbidly obese (the shame and horror!!!) to now just 20 over weight. 70 pounds and counting! You can do it! My final goal is 30 pounds away!
Amazing. Keep going!

RE: Sexual themes in roleplay
They want to be pretty and have everyone love them but TS is icky and gross.
I find that if you really don't want to be propositioned for TS, there are better PB avatar images.
Addendum: Ugly characters however are no guarantee of no TS request safety, however, as I have been propositioned out of nowhere for TS while playing this:

RE: Staffing Philosophy: Action vs Procedure
So far the deadline situation is just sort of hanging in neutral. Player A has been asked to make some changes to their character by X date. If said player does anything that has even a whiff of manipulative behavior, they'll go out the door for that immediately. They're on their last warning.
I've seen a game die out from under me for the fact that I stuck with my ethics, but in the end, when I made another game, the fact that I had not been a spineless wimp and stuck to my guns earned me a reputation that made the second last longer. I had one queen bee on the dead game that wanted me to start firing people she didn't personally like and threatened that she'd walk and take her friends with her if I didn't. The accused player had done absolutely nothing wrong, and I wasn't about to let Queenie turn me into her personal hatchet man just because she threatened to leave and take her activity with her. I told her she'd just have to walk, and not to let the door hit her on the way out. She did indeed leave and activity died out, but I figured that if no one was biting on the theme, I'd just close it and make another. I'd rather close and game and start over than get pushed around by scumbag players for months or years.

RE: Fitness and Whatnot
I just started trying to eliminate my paunch last Friday. I think it was doing a weightloss set on a bike in the gym that had a calorie counter that changed my mindset on a lot of things. I sat there and stared at it: 30 minutes on a 6 mile 'ride' and I'd only burned about 150 calories. I can eat 150 calories in seconds with handfuls of junk food.
I find it hard not to start looking at how much energy is going into me on a daily basis now. Wish me luck, I have forty pounds to drop.

RE: [REQUEST] Comprehensive MUSH experience
@Roz I have roleplayed with someone who was a professional writer, and this is absolutely true. I'd have to wait upwards of 45-90 minutes per pose, and the poses would break the buffer on the game. They were great to read but often were jammed with what was going on his character's head, or the environment around him, which had almost nothing to do with the actual action of the pose. And oh my word would he powergame. He just expected us to come up with an equally powergamey response to undo his original power gaming.
When I asked him if he could cut his poses shorter for purposes of time management (it took us a week to finish a single scene), he got hyper offended that I would interfere with his art and left.
