@Sunny said in Leadership, Spotlight, and PCs of Staffers:
I do not think anyone should be part of a plot that they themselves are running, staff or player.
I think it's fine if you are player storytelling from your pc, right? Like you run in and say OH NO HELP A WEREWOLF IS HUMPING MY DAD and gather people to help you defeat the werewolf and save your father's furry virginity.
Shhh, @silentsophia , you're going to make them feel attacked. Then they won't feel like this is a safe place for them, they won't feel like they have the trust they need to participate in this discussion about things that have no relevance for them.
I mean, it's online. If they feel harassed, they can always choose not to engage. Not the most attractive prospect, but one is always free to walk away.
Pick your battles, right?
DOUBLEPOST.
P.S. Are you saying that #notallmen isnt' the sort of thing that is distracting and derails a conversation regarding this topic? Because I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is and what it does.
Well, if you are pretty sure then I guess that's the end of the debate.
Never has the need for a gormless smile emoji rolling back and forth in hilarity been felt more keenly.
Apostate doesn't burn out. I am definitely currently on Vicodin.
@Ganymede Did you just ask for a link to the newest GOT episode? I mean..you already have the internet. Do we need to watch it for you, too??
Read title. Got super excited that this was a mush about Brak? Maybe Zorak? Maybe Moltar?
Disappointed. Bye. 
@Auspice Right, we can't explain things until we can measure them. Measuring is the key to science! So, I think there's a lot of stuff in the world and the universe that seems supernatural and fantastic because we haven't yet figured out how to measure it. (Or stumbled on how to measure it and extrapolated from that what it is. This also happens!)

@Apos Another case scenario would be this (also pretty common):
A, B and C are playing... it's A's turn.
C says OOC "hey, skip me for a few, cat's on fire".
A poses. B poses. A forgets about C being AFK by then and just waits.Subcase: A skips C and poses, then B poses, then A doesn't know yet C is back so A poses again then C does... is that a new order (A, C, B) or does it go back to the old one? ANARCHY.
A system could clear these things up if it just let you know when it's your turn, and all you need to do is inform it when you're going AFK or are back in the rotation.
Or people could just be reasonable and respond to poses naturally, without hogging the screen.
I hate almost everything about pose order, from the people who 'discourage' you from stepping out of it (and this absolutely does happen, and I've never seen it done in a welcoming or inclusive way), to the way it means people pose these bloated 3 to 4 paragraph poses, trying to address everything that's been done or said since their last 'turn' to pose.
It's mostly the latter that bugs me the most, as it kills any narrative immersion and also makes it take like twenty minutes for people to pose.
@wanderer I downvoted you because you're salty. Now you're double salty, so I'm double downvoting. Keep it up, it's pretty amusing!
@buttercup
OR you could trust that we're not going to tolerate anyone cheating or bullying. I mean, either way. I'm not chasing anyone.
@Ganymede But we get cheaper candy tomorrow so I think it balances out.
Romance may be dead, but opportunism is alive and well.
@surreality said in RL Anger:
in order to sling some shade around in the most spectacularly clueless fashion I've witnessed in a few days, which is saying a lot around here.
This is way more of a personal attack than what they did. If you are trying to escalate nastiness, cool, go and do. If you aren't trying, just saying from an outsider perspective: you are escalating nastiness
It takes a lot of courage (or conscience) to own it when you screwed up, and apologize. Never played the game, but respect.

A MUSH for special education students.
Well, uh, that's not a sentence I ever thought I'd read in any sort of MU pitch/advertisement. Jesus.
technically i'm not sure any of that qualified as a 'sentence'
Look, I have made lots of noise about how silly it is to have "small towns" in Maine be filled to bursting with a thousand strip clubs, vampire hangouts, opera houses and private airports and such - not to even touch the 90% vampire/werewolf population. It's not that no one thinks that stuff is silly, it's just that I'm going to say so here instead of logging on the game and shouting it at the people who are having fun despite (or because of!) it.
@Thenomain Ugh I reflexively tried to downvote this. Imagine me doing it in my mind, as hard as I've ever done anything.
IT FELT LIKE FOREVER I had to do actual work for like four whole minutes.
It's really, really cool that someone is doing this. @Streetwitch , kudos to you.
