@tempest Man, for a minute I was having a warm feeling for you. Like, look at all these bans and Tempest is still here. I hope she's enjoying it.
And then you have to use the insults of a 16 yr old League of Legends streamer and everything is back to normal.

I guess being in the minority, I want to build or play a game I would enjoy, not one with the widest appeal. If they are the same thing, then cool. If not, so what?
I agree 100% with that. We (mostly) don't do this hobby of Role Playing (in all of it's forms) for money or prestige; we do it because it's fun for us. If there's no fun, why bother? Now, there's as many definitions of fun as there are people, granted, but if you find others who are having fun alongside you, that makes it all the better.
Well, let's be honest; a game without other people enjoying it with us is not very fun. I have been involved in enough of those projects that I would, myself, rather a game that appeals to more people even if it means compromising some of my own wants, because I know the pay-off can be absolutely worth it.
Having a game with too many players because you've compromised too much can also be a bad thing. Just saying
It's finding the Goldielocks Zone: ideally everything is just right.
Allowing elements that are extremely incompatible with one another can work in the short term to balloon numbers but it will create an increasingly fragile edifice that will eventually collapse as players have a slow build of resentment that will eventually boil over.
Check out the big brain on Brad!
@arkandel It can be very awkward to be a rare woman in a technical team of men.
The answer is not to just not hire women. The answer is to make your employees behave professionally while they are at work (which tech monkeys famously often do not), and encourage female applicants.
@roz Yes, it was thought of as women’s work. Demand went up, and with it pay, and suddenly girls are discouraged from it starting in primary school. So weird.
@Sandor Yes, because I care a lot. I have a big file for MU Soapbox and a board where I can pin photos and receipts and newspaper clippings and connect them all with red lines as I try to solve the mystery of the question of the conspiracy of what crawled up your ass and refused to die there.
@bobgoblin said in Stranger Than Fiction MUX:
I appreciate your insight, please elaborate.
Okay. When a person says things like "well you just make it so easy", or "lol I'm trollin u and you fell for it so hard", they are attempting to shape the narrative with that statement, regardless of what is really happening. It's like saying "the NFL called me to say they were super sorry for scheduling a game during my birthday party". Even if the NFL corrects that, publicly, the statement is out there so that SOMEONE will believe it.
And "well who cares about this when people are starving in North Korea" arguments are also not very sound to make, because one bad does not remove another. A better alternative might be "Why do you care so much?", because then the onus is on the other person to justify (or slip up and make a bad argument YOU CAN POUNCE ON). Go get em, tiger.
ETA actually most of this went on in the other thread. But whatever!
@saosmash how the hell do you shrug your hands what is wrong with your anatomy DEAR GOD
@phaedrus said in Hog Pit as read only:
question, dear reader, was about forming relationships during the first three months of having the character - which is a very sensible rule that I was very much happy to follow).
Also, that is not the rule. The rule is that you can't make big changes to a char that would involve them leaving their families/orgs/important relationships, etc, in the first 3 months of playing them, unless those changes were already on their sheets.
@phaedrus I don't know if you're lying, or you just didn't understand this rule for some reason. In case you didn't understand, I will give examples.
You can't take a knight, who is a dedicated knight per their sheet, and decide in week 2 they want to break their oaths to become a common merchant or something.
You can't take someone dedicated to their spouse and decide to go godsworn in week 3.
You can't take a noble sheeted to be determined to marry someone of very high birth and ONLY if it doesn't require marrying out of family, and then immediately decide to marry out.

@auspice Ayup. Temprooms are a thing for anything else.
shudders
I mean, they have their place! But I don't agree that they can take the place of an immersive grid.
@ghost You're never going to make people like each other. Arx players make private discord channels for all their shit-talk needs, and we can't really do anything about it. All you can do is keep it off your game.
@Derp I haven't played 15, and YET I knew. I knew there was a lot of teenage moping. It's the one constant in FF games. Except for Tactics, which is the best FF game, in which there was a lot of teenage MURDER and SOLDIERING.
@sparks I mean yay but MAGIC and EXPLORING

@kanye-qwest Sarcasm is best suited in other parts of the forum please and thank you. Also it is not that but what ever sir. Enjoy your day being a oneline troll
I like how you tell me not to be mildly sarcastic about the discussion because of the board this is on, and then you top it off with a personal insult. Ell oh ell.
But let me reiterate: just because something is one way doesn't mean people should accept that and never try to improve upon it. This is how we got smartphones.
I mean it's still in the 80s here but ok. I got my fitbit and my foot surgery and everything.
