@Thenomain It wasn't bad, actually! I'm just furious no one even commented on the flat earth movement gaining support all over the globe.

I MEAN COME ON.

I'm just furious at all of you.

The Django web framework used for Arx (on Evennia) auto synchs things from the game to the site, and vice versa. I realize this isn't useful for packaging into a Mu-in-the-box scenario but I'm just here to fangirl.

What sort of system is this game using? How are you handling mages/apostates? Hanging out in the Gallows all the time doesn't sound super thrilling. Well. "Thrilling", perhaps, but maybe not fun.

@Kestrel said in The Shame Game:

Striving to think rationally is admirable for all the reasons discussed above. And it is, on the whole, better than thinking emotionally

lol what
People who aren't caught up in bullshit are aware that both logic and emotion are pretty important in dealing with life. One without the other is bad, no matter which way you skew.

I love this setting! Not so sure I'd love someone playing Hawke.

Edit to say: more specifically, I think seeing FC would just make me sad there wasn't more DA2.

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

In reality, shaming is very effective at what it CAN accomplish - which is setting the standards by which communities ostracize people. Shaming a girl who likes dick probably won't make her stop liking dick, but it will encourage everyone around her to join in on the shaming and exclude her from reindeer games, job promotions, and not being burned at the stake.

What is up with that? I want to know who downvotes me! I want to know so I can drink deep of their delicious hatred, or mild disagreement with whatever I've said. Mmm, delicious mild disagreement.

@Coin So jokes are trolling, now? In the most abstract way, I guess, but I just googled trolling to make sure my understanding of it is the general one:

make a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them.

I'm going with nah.

Oh man, his name is John. Let the stalking commence! Hang on while I google "John" to see where he lives.

@ixokai But I wasn't taking issue with my number getting bigger or smaller. I was asking about someone else's post. Whatevs. Carry on, my wayward sons.

@ixokai So, satisfying a curiosity or asking someone to explain the reason they did something is caring? Sure, to a degree. But not what it seemed like you meant by "caring" earlier in the thread.

@ixokai Pretty sure Pandora doesn't give half a shit if you downvote her every post. I certainly don't...care if you downvote her every post.

But no, really, does anyone care?

@Pandora I mean I think you were also telling people to kill themselves in that thread. Which, yes, could count as a differing opinion but let's not be DISINGENUOUS now.

@Kestrel A totally valid downvote reason! Sorry.

I was going to upvote this post, in fact, until you said a thread on the MSB was making you want to quit the game. You can't fight drama with drama.

@faraday

That's not really addressing the suggestion, though. The suggestion was "if you are going to have this group's plots all focus on the same (staff) PCs, then you should support other people forming their own playgroups so they can get some ability to Do the Things"

@Ghost Ok well that was less constructive.

@Ghost said in The 100: The Mush:

Question: are the Delinquents and Groundersrun by staff PCs/NPCs? Does the game support whether or not players/PCs form their own splinter faction in a PC-controlled tribe to barter and trade with the Delinquents/Grounders as they see fit?

To me, the obvious answer for players who feel they can't break into the clique is to splinter off on their own, but if staff doesn't support it or may negate it due to Staff-controlled factions refusing to acknowledge said splinter tribe, there might be little point in the effort.

But if I were playing there and the tribes were too cliqued/railroaded by staff involvement or antagonistic characters running the show, this would be my response. There would be enough IC justification (and thematic) for characters deciding to take their share of supplies and homesteading.

Wait, why is this getting downvoted? This post in general is pretty constructive. "What can staff do" and here's a suggestion - support people forming their own cliques. Seems logical.

@VulgarKitten said in Pretendy Fun Time Games:

You know, I've found it's very hard to know when someone is actually being a dick to you, versus when you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Anyone else have this issue? Not too many people come right out and say "Oh yeah, I'm doing x because I just don't like you" versus "I'm doing x because I don't think it's a big deal". Sometimes, the simple act of asking which of these two it is or expressing how you feel 'Hey, when you do this, I feel x' is met with the 'chill out it's just a game' spiel.

Where do you draw the line?

I know I troll on here, but this is the realest of real talk.

If you want to have a life as stress-free as is possible, do not EVER assume that people are doing things out of spite, or because they don't like you, or because they are trying to make you question yourself and your personality and your choices. This is a foolproof plan to happiness.

A. if you are right, and they are not trying to be-bitch you, then great. You dismiss anything a little questionable as their issue, it is, and you are able to bliss right along.

B. You are wrong, they are trying to be-bitch you, and your blissful lack of give a damn will both rankle and force them to be way more explicit if they want to be mean to you. Great, make them show their true colors.

But I have to say, my life experiences teach me that A is true a lot more often than B. Don't waste your time worrying what other people think of you, because . . .they don't. They think of themselves, and their lives, and their moment to moment issues, and how things affect THEM.
