Currently leveling up my Lux-only account in non stop aram and bot games, aw yiss.

Uh huh uh huh not what I asked, chum!

@Faceless

We are trying to get around to different players and offer them hooks and NPC interaction and GMing. We've had a bit of a flood of new players, though, and I know for me personally I am not even close to being familiar with all of them. I have a feeling I might know which @org you are talking about, but if not, mind telling me which it is? I don't want anyone floundering lonely, and maybe there's something we can do!

It takes a lot of courage (or conscience) to own it when you screwed up, and apologize. Never played the game, but respect.

Have you ever played a mush?

Giving no consideration to how good or bad an idea it might be, here's a link to a folder I share with people who play Arx, full of about 200+ possible PB pics that I have given a cursory cropping to. Most suitable for something low-tech, nature of the beast, but still.

Just -- the really good days. Like, I just had a lot of RP packed into one day yesterday with a lot of really exciting developments and I'm feeling pretty giddy and blessed right now.

@Roz said in What is out there? Hard and soft codebases of choice.:

I just want to point out that, as he's talked about it on Arx, which I think is the biggest running Evennia game, @Tehom is not a professional programmer and hadn't tried coding in a number of years before the Arx team started building. So the idea that Evennia can only be handled by professional programmers is demonstrably untrue.

Maybe he's just smarter than "WTFE" or what the fuck ever his name is. "MAYBE" Bahaha, I crack myself up.

Observations:

Evennia is great. I love what Tehom has done with Arx on it - I love it so much. It's not plug and play, but neither is any other mush code, really. I went into staffing on Firan with no idea of tinyMUX code, and I had to learn it in order to build/GM. It was wretched. Everything is complicated and mystifying before you learn it. I don't think there's anything wrong with the statement "Developing with Evennia requires you to know/learn Python". I don't think it will ever satisfy the "I want to make another modern WoD mush by just installing a codebase and booting up the server" need, but that need is already met by generous community coders.

You can't market a product to everyone, unless it is clean air.

Also, Griatch remains the most unruffled and civil dude basically ever. Kudos.

Nothing can stop the Kirk Cameron now.

Ashley Johnson can and will.

I am confused by this but I love Ashley Johnson so GET HIM GIRL

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.

(KIDDING!)

You get really upset when we argue, man, so why are you even doing this? Seriously.

@mietze said in The Apology Thread:

@gasket I would just trust your friends' intellegence to get out if things get dicey...and I commend your willingness to allow them to have their own experience. I get on with quite a few "hated" people on games, and have appreciated the people who put aside their dislike of that person and not shit all over me for my interactions with them.

Right! This is so nice. Live and let live, for fox sake.

It's that time of year again! Square Enix is selling a holiday mystery box of 7 PC games worth $80 for $9.99 US!

Clicky

I don't trust Square Enix. They've put out a lot of shit recently.

Right? Fuck your mystery, I suspect this is like paying them $10 so they can essentially give you their garbage, like "Here, YOU throw this away."

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).

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)

I agree with some people!

While any subset is going to be full of those who don't apologize well (or ever), I think in this hobby the reluctance to forgive is way more toxic. Outliers aside, "someone screwed my character over IC 10 years ago" is not a reason to hold a grudge. "A staffer was rude when they handled my job", likewise. "Someone was shitty to me", probably yeah maybe move on and let it go? Everyone has moments they are a shitty person. Everyone.

@Arkandel said in RL Anger:

My entire office is sick. Well, about a third of our workforce is at home, and a couple of more are at work sniffling and coughing.

Our CEO was complaining this morning people are 'too sensitive' since we have a release next week. As a result one of the folks who didn't come in at first because he has a fever even felt he had to come to work since he couldn't get his VPN connection straight, so we got an even bigger share of the plague.

And the weekend is almost here. Dammit. I don't wanna spend it in bed.

Your CEO is a pos. I'm sure you already knew that.

She plays Apostate, obviously.

It's ok for a character to plot and want to destroy another character politically, but yeah, I'd definitely not allow it for the sole purpose of screwing a player over. (Note, I was certain that was a pithy comment on Custodius and not an actual game plan)
