@Kestrel

Part of my question is: How do G & H know there's anything going on in the Town Square? With Bob's Party I'm presuming you were invited. How would you invite yourself to Town Square?

You don't need to be invited to a town square. It's there for people to hang out in. Not approved people. Not You and Your Friends. People. Anyone not being a disruptive dick and/or breaking laws may hang out in a town square.

@arkandel Ok it was already moved there, and both the other moderators commented on it. Calm down, guys.

What did your game do to provoke this attack?

What was it wearing?

Was it drunk?

Does it get drunk a lot?

I am 300% in favor of adding pages to the web portal.

Every game ever allows admin to look at pages, if they want to, as you said.

@Lotherio said in Cultural differences between MUDs and MUSHes:

This goes into asshat territory too.

If I'm staff, and its conceivable NPCs are doctors, players shouldn't have to wait for the bone setting. It should be assumed. In fact if A, B, and even C are having fun, the NPC world should react as expected without staff needing to be there, or hand waving no NPCs. That sounds like a deterrent to RP in general.

But in that example, you had to spend a lot of time and energy saving up XP to learn bone setting. If staff had NPCd bonesetters every time someone broke a bone:
A. it trivializes the work of those players who put in the effort to learn how to yank a bone straight
B. Defeats the purpose of having broken bones. There's no point in offering consequences that mean nothing. It's a waste of time and processing power.

20 degrees?? You need to do yoga a lot more than you need deadlifts.

@bear_necessities said in Why are there so many MUs set in Maine?:

I guess the thing is like what does it matter? People complain there are too many small town games, too many east coast games, too many west coast games. Like. Its not hurting anybody you guys.

false, i am personally attacked by each and every small town setting

man it would be cool if someone made an ATLA movie!

Evennia. So nice.

Having staffed on a tinymux game, I am elated with the ease of doing admin through a web interface. I just zipped through and edited the 's' off the end of a half dozen crafting material types for consistency, changed the name of another material and all the dependent recipes on a whim, and was done. 45 seconds.

@emmahsue I mean, do you think everyone who is not the princess should be weeping?? I think there's room for a lot of meaningful lives that aren't wearing the crown and the puffy skirt. But I would say that. Since I'm not the princess.

@aria

You can really avoid this sort of theme drift by creating a setting that you want and forbidding players from fucking with it.

It’s not too hard, but you have to be willing to say “no” and too few staff are willing to do this.

So unlike when I popped off and shot my dad

This is what I read. I need to use the sleep.

By the way, he's too modest to ever say it, but Apos' ratio is 2.065!!!

@ominous said in Roster Characters & WoD?:

I shall continue to stand on my soapbox and shout that all characters should always be on the roster and anyone can pull any of them off for the night to play them. When the log off, the character goes back on the roster for someone else to play. Also I would have a time limit that auto forces a person out of the character after 24 hours to keep people form idling in a character so no one else can play them. This would take MUSHes in more of a collaborative novel direction rather than the MUD-y standard it tries to stick to now.

And most people will continue to tell you this doesn't sound fun. At all!

Portraying a character takes time. You can pull something off a roll and play it on a surface level over a playsession, but most people like to develop characters.

@Pandora Check your intellectual privilege. The flat earth movement is gaining supporters all over the globe.

Fuck people who make microwave popcorn in office microwaves. Like, if you want to go stink up the break room, fine. If you plug in a microwave near your desk and nuke this fake butter nonsense, fuck you.

Evennia is odd, but it's also the shit because of the Django web aspect. As staff, I can do so much through a nice, clean (thanks Tehom!), browser gui. Players can also do sheet maintenance (journals and relationships) through the website. So, so nice.

Outside of some (really tragic) edge cases...you don't think everyone can use reason?
