      I also appreciate the apology and the context that it provides. I'm still a little confused about where the bullshit in question came from but I guess haters gonna hate?

      in any communication issue, I am being misunderstood and it is totally explainable. You are absolutely doing it on purpose to ruin something for me.

      ...

      it was my take on why these sorts of things happen, man, not a serious statement. Obviously this is no big deal to me, i was kidding about being mad.

      Uh, I didn't discover books. They've been a thing for a long time. Like, decades. At least.

      Personally I did not attempt to glean the identity of the defamer from context clues. Ultimately, I know that people are going to talk shit about me because I am a person who exists on the internet in communities with other people.

      I was... surprised and confused by what Surr told me, which did not include the identity of said defamer, and I didn't ask. If the source of the garbage was in fact Auspice, that's disappointing and sad, and yet I remain without outrage.

      Frankly the accusation in question was so ludicrous as to defy outrage, too absurd to defend.

      Just like... really? Really, really?

      Grow up.

      ok but it's all true, though. It was my plan all along. It's the whole reason I championed the idea of letting same sex relationships (and marriages, at times) be socially acceptable in a fantasy 'L&L' game.

      The complaints rolled in and i said NOPE GET OVER IT my special angel babies that I have never spoken to before can do. what. they. want.

      (just to be clear, for the peanut gallery, this is 100% sarcasm. Exactly 0 complaints about the situation ever rolled in, because there was not a situation)

      @Roz said in Avatar / Korra game considerations:

      I have a half-baked idea but it involves -- if there's gonna be sheets, and stats for bending expertise, it would also be cool if people could spend XP on the other bending styles (other than their own) as an indicator of how well they've studied those styles to counter. (I thought of this after being reminded of a scene early in S1 on TLA where Aang is chatting with the Fire Nation guards while captured and is all "Huh you guys have probably never fought an Air Bender, huh." A big part of Aang's effectiveness in the series ended up just being that people had totally lost the experience of studying the styles of air bending.)

      My custom-baked Avatar system has as its core Attributes the four elements + Spirit, and each one governs something different (Fire is Power; Water is Change; Earth is Temperance; Air is Freedom ...) and when you bend you roll the appropriate Attribute, but having the others is part of everyone; everyone has a little bit of each element; Benders just channel their main one into their Bending Art. What you're suggesting would be represented by having better levels of the others to better understanding the theory behind other Bending techniques.

      Mm, I guess. My line of thinking would be more about the skill end of things. Like if you have the elements as attributes, I feel like you'd want to also have skills to represent developing the actual techniques. Like how Katara had plenty of waterbending potential from the start of the show (attribute, in your example), but she had to learn how to use it (skill, in mine). What I'm talking about would specifically be about learning technique.

      Yeah, the actual bending styles are pretty obviously based on different stances of kung fu/martial arts. Being able to study those even without the bending would make sense.

      we have a different solution in mind! but kind of want to save up prestige, etc changes into a batch so we aren't roped into spending a lot of time putting out OHNOES fires while other things are not in, yet.

    • RE: Constructive (keyword) Criticism of Arx Systems

      @tempest Sure, this is all fair, and I agree!

      I think maybe as staff we are overestimating how upset people are about prestige. Or maybe not. I especially feel for Pax, who has been working really hard on supremely exciting fun shit to go into the game, and instead it seems like all the focus is on prestige and who is where on a chart.

      We could get rid of the chart, but I don't think that would make a big difference - long before score, long before ARX, there have always been people who complain and accuse when other people get things they don't have. I remember way back in the beforetimes it was how unfair it is that people playing leadership chars get to make decisions.

    • RE: In development: pure OC superhero game

      IDK, to me "set in the insert time period of actual history before the 70s/80" pretty much just says, "playing anything but a white man will definitely limit you". Some people might be into that. I sure as heck amn't.

    • RE: Arx- Gareth

      Double post, I know! I'm the worst. I just wanted to say: we did not talk to/ask Gareth's player to leave for being creepy. I mean, the character he was playing was kind of creepy, but I got no impression (or reports) that he was being inappropriately creepy or harassing female players or anything like that.

      His playstyle wasn't a good fit for Arx, but I didn't think he was being a terrible person, is what I'm trying to say.

      Jaime is going north. (I think.) Tyrion is going north. Cersei is certainly not buying Bronn of the Blackwater a castle. He is so going north with his bros.

    • RE: Arx- Gareth

      @Kireek said in Arx- Gareth:

      @Kayne Qwest If you don't realize that people have been asking for ooc support in games and talking oocly about the game I have to ask what exactly were you hoping to happen? The sad fact of the matter I too have been personally asked by a number of people oocly which by definition broke the rules about support and asking for support. The thing is I didn't get upset about it, even in scenes where I supported 1 or 0, and was asked, I didn't feel pressured, and the thing is.. people are still going to be doing it.

      People can talk OOCly about the game all they like. What you (and by you I mean everyone) are not allowed to do is pressure people OOC for support on your IC task. Those tasks give good rewards, and the reason they give good rewards is: we are using the task system to incentivize people ROLEPLAYING with each other. Sending a messenger and then paging someone "lul can u support me pls? i'll do u a favor in the future/won't inquisit you/everyone is doing it". That is not allowed. And if people do it, and we hear about it, they will be warned and then asked to leave.

      So I just want to summarize-
      1.May be being a little overly sensitive on that issue- but fair enough, I'll concede that point. All I ask is that when the support system got blown up on the channels as decreasing usability and I was only once voice in that debate of a number.. did those people also get an equal talking to? If not, why not?

      No one got talked to for disagreeing with changes or offering alternatives/complaints. Not even you. I think what you are really asking here is "did other people who were NOT being constructive, and were just upset about the changes get talked to?" There were only two of you doing that. And the answer is yes - though don't imply that is the only reason you got that talk. You were always saying "Sigh" or "grumps" or "bleh" or "this kind of...sucks" on public channels, and frankly we don't want people being huge mopey downers in our public channels. You were invited several times to make posts on the system discussions board, or put in requests with your thoughts/objections/alternative ideas. How many times did you take advantage of that?

      2.Lul. Harass, nonsense. Unfortunately you are by definition creating an atmosphere where even being friendly about asking for support can be construed as lawbreaking and rule breaking- the worst part is that just sent all that shit underground and out of the game. Do you think the houses with large support networks are getting that support without reminding people to make sure they do their support? It happens, and instead of banning it outright.. it perhaps might of been wiser to try and regulate it because now players who know each other are just going to keep talking about it secretly while new players without those connections are going to be functioning without a paddle.

      If that happens, we'll adjust! The game is in alpha (though I think it's a matter of DAYS at this point. Woo!)

      1. Did not ask to see that players stats. If saying I'm curious about the rest of a players sheet now once I learned they had freely offered 100 xp into another bit of stats is asking.. and then they offer it, I didn't technically ask, did I, I never demanded they tell me either.

      If you had bothered to bring your concerns to the appropriate people, I would have happily explained to you that non combat skills cost half what combat skills do, and absolutely ANY cg could have a 5 in a non combat skill and a few other skills at 1 sprinkled about. The XP pool for CGs is EXACTLY THE SAME, and we use that SAME CG to make roster characters and NPCs. There was no sheet twinking, and I would have gladly explained that if you'd done anything other than bitch at that player on channel.

      4,Personality Conflict- I really have a hard time buying that.... but okay... love that is an offense now... and is definitely something you can pin on me... so alright fair enough?... Words.. Every... word..

      This is exactly why you are a personality conflict, btw. You don't like/approve of the way we want the game environment to be, and so you just nod through our attempts to explain it to you and go right back to what you were doing. What we have here is a failure to communicate. I'm not pinning that on anyone, but we called it what it was and freed both you and us up to move on.

      Ok but no one wants to play ugly characters, or infected mushroom people (?! ?!). I mean, there will be a few edge cases who do, but at least a few of those will only want to rp the LOL LOOK HOW GROSS I AM I DRIPPED ON YOU LOL. Beyond that, it just doesn't have any sort of broad appeal.

      Maybe you don't want broad appeal! IDK your life.
