thrilla in manila?

I love that it's been months since I had to have the "there are no prostitutes in Arx?" debate.

Also, I love it when you can take multiple NPCs to a PC event and not steal the entire focus and everyone just hums along in conversation and about the event and things flow well and it's wonderful.

@pax is uh may zing!

And yeah, we're making sure to include obstacles that use a wide variety of skills and specializations, with options for each, so that people are encouraged to take all kinds of characters adventurin. Riddles! Performance! Legerdemain! Intimidation! stuff. and things.

@tempest I think there are two discussions, here. A general "how can we make MSB a more useful and somewhat more pleasant place to engage with" and "someone is making wild accusations about harboring stalkers or something something vague something".

The latter doesn't really negate the former.

@ixokai said in FCs on Comic MUs:

Seriously, all of you on this wrongfun whining and nitpicking and all OC's are the only sane way to comic, blah blah.

I never said that so i dunno what you're on. Maybe you quoted the wrong person? Maybe you didn't really read my statement?

But that's part of the issue, too. I have a hard enough time, on the game I am part of, making people accept what I define for the setting. I'm glad your experience has been so breezy but let me tell you: mine has NOT. So, I'm not wrongfunning anyone. I'm saying what I would not do, and why. And now I'm restating what I already said, because that appears to be my fucking lot in life.

@bobgoblin When you have devolved into "HAHA YOU ARE TAKING MY BAIT LOL" and "there are real problems in the world", you have lost whatever argument you thought you were having so hard. I have skimmed this thread at best, so this isn't even about the content of your comments, just the form they are taking. Tempest is a way better troll than you. This way lies madness.

Earth magic.

The extent of the similarities between Arx and Firan are

• it uses a roster of some sort
• it has a lot more code (and more planned) than most mushes
• some staffers and players in common

This has been very helpful to me, for Arx in particular.

@Kestrel I really wish I could downvote you for the use of "arse".

So much hate for that 'word'.

@gingerlily Yeah i don't think the author was thinking of games at all, but just how you can use established culture to shut down behavior without making it a big moral argument. As a staffer, I'm not trying to make players into better people, or win them over to my moral viewpoints. I just have specific things I don't want them to do/say in Arx.

@Cupcake snitches get stitches

@darinelle OMG Joan Cusack, wow I hadn't even considered her. COMPLETE modern face. Idris Elba, like Cate blanchett, should just put his face everywhere. Literally everywhere.

Danny Rand is an idiot, though. That's a pretty big disadvantage. Being an actual idiot. I mean he's just not a smart guy.

Honestly/weirdly, the characters I miss, the ones I yearn for, are characters i played in MMOs. Alarice in EQ2. Lianhan! I played a banshee who was creeping on a total party wipe and a mass res brought her back to life into a magical body and she was corporeal and pissed off and WEIRD and creepy.

This fucking boot is clunky and my foot is sore and it is sapping all my energy and I hate it, there. Toddler rant off.

@pyrephox said in The limits of IC/OOC responsibility:

I feel like some times people demand too much of others in those positions and forget that the other person is a player, trying to have fun, and not just a dispenser of things your PC needs/wants. If you're wanting/needing something from another PC, take a moment and think about what you are doing to make your needs actively fun for the PC's player.

Fuck a whole lot of having a damaged sciatic nerve.
