@kitteh Ahh gotcha. I think that one was generated by a player some time ago, and Apos tends to approve those while at work without uh, looking super duper closely at the sheets, at times.

He's a very busy person!

@kitteh Which character? Some of them were written before I came on board in a serious way and put my foot down about the subject.

@icanbeyourmuse That's unfortunately probably a terrible way to get engaged, as it can be seen as kind of passive aggressive.

Find a conversation you want in on, and pose your way in! Use names, be polite (or at least be ENGAGING). If they miss it the first time, don't take it personally if it's a big scene. Try again. Or send a message later, like 'hey I couldn't help but overhear you at X, you seem interesting/I would like to subscribe to your newsletter check yes or no".

The picture you get googling Dengue fever is hilarious.

Hearing that Night Vale is doing a show in the area, and then instantly hearing "I got us tickets. We're in the balcony."

Wooo!

@bored said in Wyrdathru's Playlist:

Drums was a prior @EUBanana project, same codebase as was used more recently for Dystopia (ie somewhat MUSH/MUD hybrid like Firan), but set in a vaguely middle eastern historical jungle colony. It was actually a pretty cool concept but didn't really last due to everyone dying of Dengue fever.

Fixed that for you

@Roz The reason we make votes shared is that we don't want to 'punish' people who focus on one alt.

I'd probably be willing to up the vote # allotted each week than see them split between alts.

@Arkandel said in Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning:

For example, mention right in the command help file that there should be roleplay taking place between the claimer and the newbie, not just posing in the same room. Right now that's kinda of a gray area - people walk in, have conversations with their existing friends ignoring the newbie but since it's taking place in the same room (and not coincidentally ) they toss the claim.
It might also be a good idea to give the XPs to the newbie whether they validate or not (else they're penalizing themselves by not validating it, which won't happen) but give no way for the claimer to know if it was validated or not so there can't be OOC pressure about it.

That's a good suggestion that I have immediately thrown at Tehom!

@Arkandel I'd hope so. If they aren't getting real interaction, they don't have to validate the claims and I'd hope they wouldn't. But it's kind of up to them and on the honor system, and I think that it's better to lean towards generosity on this as I think it DOES feel welcoming. I hope.

As for votes, we've had some requests to increase the #. I'm on the fence.

Or do what you would do in reality. If your conversation in a public place has turned into something that really needs to be continued in private...go somewhere private. Stand up and make your goodbyes and go chat about your secret plot to overthrow the shadow government.

I see 0 proof that is a man.

It's a lot more likely in Arxian society that it would be "smaller people and children/adolescents are favored for this task", instead of women.

ETA: men can be tiny, too! No gender bias goes both ways, there's no undue expectation that all men are hulking, powerful badasses who have never shed a tear in their life and walk off lost limbs.

Nah, meatloaf and stuffed peppers make me really angry, I think this is the perfect place.

Puppy!

Whoah, for real? Guild Wars 1 was a strictly pvp game. GW2 has some PVE but it's uh, pretty lackluster imo. PVP is the focus of the franchise.

@Ganymede 8 was my favorite (non tactics), too. Until 10x2. Scratched that magical girl itch so nicely.

@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.

@Ganymede This. I am so tired of JRPGs expecting me to relate to whiny early-teenagers.

Meatloaf pisses me off, too.

Enjoy your break (not the enforced bedrest part, of course)! May the muses of creativity and productivity play sweetly for you.
