@Thenomain said in When To Stop Listening To Those Voices:

On the other hand, if the analysis seems simple then it’s possibly too simple and ignoring, on purpose or through simplicity, important steps.

This anaysis is not too simple or skipping steps, though.

If your goal is "i want to stop feeling anxious and questioning whether or not the things that happen are purposeful slights", then you should definitely look into medication, therapy, etc.

If your goal is "I want to be part of x community and have the people there eager to engage with me" then the answer is just as Apos said. Put time and effort into being fun for those people to interact with. The easiest way to accomplish that is to put the focus on them: their fun, their stories, their characters, their jokes.

@saosmash Oh man, what? I love escalation. It's my go to when dealing with people. Why yell at the first person you talk to? Even if it is their fault, they can't do anything. Just insist you get to contact a supervisor. And then insist on being put in contact with THEIR supervisor. Eventually someone will tell the truth or help you just to avoid their boss asking why the fuck they are being bothered.

@Arkandel said in The Apology Thread:

Here's something to debate since we're into that.

We've had a big argument and you told me to fuck off and never contact you again!

Then I go and post an apology thread here addressing it to whom it may concern.

Is that okay or am I being a douche?

Douche!

Oh wait. let me read the situation you actually posited.

Douche! Huh, I mean that's fine. My instinct is to be rude.

@Ganymede some women absolutely do. Some people can't read a room. Some people really like fashion.

Who is the REAL princess of MSB? Take your reputation count and divide it by your post count. Can you beat my score, of 1.48?

ARE YOU THE REAL PRINCESS (OR PRINCE, OR ROYALPERSON)?

Battlestar University! All the fun of space hijinks and political intrigue, all the drama of trying to figure out which sorority to join and how to not get pregnant at a kegger!

the veil is thin here??

@wizz Maybe a Baron! We need more data.

@Gilette Betty White is OLDER THAN SLICED BREAD!!

You should incentivize whatever you want to see more of in your game/app/activity. If you want people to play with your code and get addicted to advancement...you code in rewards. If you want to foster a big community where people rp outside their usual circles so that new people can be incorporated, you incentivize that. HOW is open for debate and suggestion, but should you? For sure.

No, I mean some people only post every now and then. Cheaters.

I didn't say anything about "VAspider ruined my game" OK LET IT GO. Obviously if someone beat you and ruined your life I'm not saying forgive and forget.

I'm just saying I think there are a lot of minor interpersonal slights that get blown out of proportion, people take sides, people get blacklisted, people get called cunts on message boards, what have you, and you try to track down what the offender DID and it's like :

"oh, he argued with me about history, I am a history professor!"

or

"Oh he was super mean to a friend of my friend and HER friend told me that he completely lied to her and cheated on her IC and told five other chicks they were his one and only and..."

or

"one time, she used an in game command to diss my character."

(That last one was me! And I got called a cunt like seven times by the person against whom my biggest transgression was using one of the multiple disses at my character's command to illustrate a part of her personality)

It depends on the story you're telling.

It really, really does.

@aria said in RL Anger:

I am also very, very, very tired of the number of people (almost all men, but hey, sure, I'll play your stupid game and say 'people') coming out and saying "I'm so surprised!" and "I'm so saddened!"

Yeah, this is pissing me off. You are definitely a sad mfer, but you aren't SURPRISED. No one is surprised by this, and those hollywood dudes can just keep that fake shock for their mamas.

I think the bolded parts make it look like a meatier contribution than +1, though. You got that going for you! (And yes, that's what I mean. Don't hold on to petty grudges, like what is that doing for you in your life).

@Tempest said in Our Tendency Towards Absolutes:

MU players suck dick. Yes, you reading this right now, you are a terrible person and a complete shithead to just about everybody in the hobby outside of your circle of friends, because you're a selfish fuck with no self-awareness.

this is not the hog pit

@arkandel typical opiate painkillers aren't any good for nerve pain, I'm learning. So, they haven't prescribed me anything of the sort. I saw my surgeon yesterday (this stems from a pre-surgical nerve block they gave me) and I just started an anticonvulsant medication they give to epileptics, but it takes time to build up. I'm sitting in my office trying to concentrate enough to work, waiting for a specialist referred by my anaesthesiologist to contact me to talk about actual pain management strategies.

He mentioned an antidepressant that can be used to treat this type of pain, but IDK yet. I'm just trying to get through it. The surgeon says it SHOULD heal over time.

lol. lmao.

Or even worse, putting YOURSELF through that mindfuck, especially if you're inebriated or have mental health issues?

Which is exactly what happened to you on Arx, since pretty much everything you think was going on wasn't actually going on. The only differential among what staffers can and can't do is that Tehom and NV lock down some of the delete permissions really hard, to prevent staffers like me from inadvertently deleting critical things that force them to revert to backups. But that has nothing to do with view permissions. Oh. And all staffers know who other staffers play and what is an NPC and a PC. Also as a player, if you @sheet char and nothing comes up? It's an NPC. And the PCs you think were staffbits really, really weren't.

You are so full of shit and it's honestly hilarious. Of course, since Valenzo's player bit was set to his player account and had no real view permissions other than what you all set on your game, there's really nothing I can take and show you, aside from player reactions in the Whites, some of which are p. subtle.

Seriously, fuck Arx. What a messed up little circle of staff/players and a fucked up OOC environment.

I will gladly go elsewhere, thanks.

Valenzo was never anything but a player character. Dude, no hard feelings (I mean at least from me). I really hope things level out for you soon.

@thenomain it was a woman. An old ass woman, but STILL
