Sex : Yup. You gotta pick one! For the mentally delayed players, pick between Male and Female.

That blurb is so uncool on so many levels.

@Tinuviel, I think what you meant to say was: Screw the rules because, I'm Charles Dance.

Kung Fury

So, if I'm correctly understanding what I've read so far:

• Players are upset that they are inundated by a bunch of IC unpleasant to varying degree characters. Maybe this wouldn't be bad if it were limited to only a few, relative to the size of the game. That way people can choose to interact or not. It doesn't matter if Jackass Joe was only mean to you once, and that Megabitch Maisie was, and Dickhead David and Diva Danielle and Punch-happy Peter, etc. etc. etc. were only mean to you once or twice because the net result is still being treated like crap every day of the week. At that point, it makes no difference where the antagonism and abuse are coming from.

• No one is complaining that the players of those jerks are necessarily being OOC jerks. Just, at most, obtuse. Except for one player who was threatening to kill other characters while they slept if they didn't fall in line, but that player is no longer on the game.

• There seems to be a lack of friendly, welcoming PCs with whom they can interact.

• No one is saying antagonistic characters are bad per se, but the antagonism needs to be presented in a certain way in order to be engaging and fun for the non-antagonistic characters/players -- which may or may not be a valid description of wrongfun.

• Some players are complaining they don't see the problem. Others players are saying those players are part of the problem, either because they don't realize the extent they are being IC assholes or because they are so happy in their own RP bubbles that they are oblivious to anyone else's lack of a good time.

And if this is not what people are intending/meaning to say, I'm putting it out that this is the impression pages of comments are giving me.

Edited to add bit about one OOC bullying player.

I'm absolutely re-watching Kickboxer before the end of the week.

You must be really bored, @Ghost. A lot of this thread was people lambasting @GirlCalledBlu and @Seraphim73 for not just running a sandbox game, and now that they seemingly are running a sandbox, there's still a bunch of hate.

I know a handful of players who played at the 100 who give zero fucks that the Fifth World re-opened. Some of them are bummed out that the 100 closed. Some aren't. None of them have any interest in playing at the Fifth World.

For someone who didn't play at the 100, though, you're awfully keen to talk about a cut or whatever. If people who played at the 100 are upset by these recent events and their timing, they certainly can express that discontent on their own accord. They don't need a player who never played there to take up the mantle for them. I mean, seriously, when has any player ever needed someone to bitch on their behalf? Especially someone who isn't directly involved.

My mom is a tiny, white Frenchwoman in her sixties. This morning, she was singing the chorus to L.L. Cool J's "Going Back to Cali" around the house, then went to YouTube to listen to 2-Pac's "California Love".

Pointing out facts is now being buried up someone's butthole.

Stating that players who may feel shafted are fully capable of expressing their feelings is being salty.

We're living in a meme culture.

@auspice But but.. I'm supposed to be scary.

It's okay. You can pretend. I won't tell anyone.

(But the kittens know, man. They know.)

The video some from which some of these were snagged.

@Ghost said in The 100: The Mush:

Use these words...or else.
You hypocritical twat.

And there goes the moral high ground.

It never was there to begin with. Speaking as someone who regularly gets hung-up on semantics, I agree that there is a spectrum of abuse and that @Ghost's use of the word wasn't incorrect even if I feel that only some, but not all, he's been railing against meets my definition of abusive in an online environment.

I also agree that @tek said some shitty things, which she seems to have recognized and apologized for.

Since then, however, @Ghost waltzed back into a thread he said he was done with (good thing we have no shortage of salt for all the margaritas we have to drink now, AMIRITE?) to get all rabid the moment he saw people were coming to his defense.

For someone who claims to be well-adjusted and not caring about online bs, he's really failing in demonstrating that.

@sg Double post but IDGAF.

I feel like I need to find a highlights reel on YouTube.

@lithium I heard one of the movies involved using jumper cables. And something something public sex.

@sg said in Good or New Movies Review:

I can't believe it's taken me this long to get around to watching Crank. Came across How Did This Get Made's episode and decided to give it a try. I miss movies that embrace ridiculous premises.

I tried watching Crank. First, it was awful. Then it was so awful that it was good. Then it went so far as to be awful again. Lather, rinse, repeat. I got as far as the scene where he's snorting the coke. That was it for me. Not because it was too wtf but because I could no longer take the roller coaster of it vacillating between being awesome awful and agonizing awful.

The most rockin' Rick roll ever.
