@Arkandel @Ganymede @The other admin whose name I always forget (sorry) - Could someone maybe lock this ad thread and push the discussion over to the discussion parts of the forum?

Install Ares. Break everything. Reinstall Ares. Break everything again. Ask @faraday for help. Fix everything. Go do her tutorials. <.<

Are you still around if someone other than A'son is asking, maybe?

Cuz that guy...

@Derp Got it. I have never, like, hung out in OOC rooms, so I wasn't sure quite what you meant there.

I don't really 'get' the idea of hanging out in a lounge room OOC and chatting with whoever is just rattling around; if I want to chat, I do it on a channel. But to each his own. @faraday seems to have already married these preferences.

@Derp If you leave the channel, you can't talk in the OOC room.

@faraday said in To OOC Room or Not to OOC Room (and Other Artifacts):

Ares also has a configurable option that ties the OOC lounge to a channel. I think that's preferable, because it lets folks who aren't in the lounge still participate in the chat, and it enables the other channel features like recall and abuse reporting.

This is what we do. It weirds people out the first time they talk in the OOC room and it winds up on the channel, even though the room desc says it does that, but they get over it.

I don't have any of these problems. I have tons of things blocked (people, threads, sections of the forum).

git gud

@Admiral said in Obsidian Reverie:

Who are you? I don't mean it bluntly but we are a small community and folks like to know that you aren't VAspider in disguise.

I won't necessarily vouch for the game in general, and I have very limited exposure to the rest of the staff on this game, but @Raeras is not VASpider.

wtf have we become

@L-B-Heuschkel said in Privacy in gaming:

I'm a newcomer to MUSHing and Ares (though not to online gaming or MUs in general) and I have to ask: Is this not normally the case? Nothing would cause me to burn out faster as a staffer than knowing I was helping make an awesome game -- but I'm not allowed to play in it.

Obvious disclaimers that staff shouldn't have advantages for their characters, that staff should stay low key during official plots, etc.

I wouldn't say that it's not "not normally the case" so much as there have been and continue to be games that disallow staffers from having PCs. There's a whole thread about staff PCs/NPCs, how far their reach should be, etc., over here.

GH is a little over 9 GB and on DO. No complaints.

Plot jobs from @thesuntsar.

Also, how easy it is to search my old jobs on Ares. @faraday deserves massive credit for any plot continuity I'm able to maintain, just for this feature alone.

People start open scenes all day long on GH as "slow/portal RP." They usually gain at least some traction. YMMV.

If this is something you're thinking of trying, maybe just... try it? And see if it works?

@peasoupling said in What Types of Games Would People Like To See?:

I can see that humans-only cutting 50% of the possible players but only in a setting that typically has non-humans as expected playable characters, maybe? Like, if you make a game in a setting with dwarves but I can't play a dwarf, you can go to hell and take your game with you, which I feel is a perfectly reasonable reaction.

Oh, for sure. If I log in to Middle Earth by Night and can't play a Hobbit Vampire, I'm probably gonna be bummed.

But if you're thinking about making a game, and you're like "WE NEED ALL THE PLAYABLE RACES OR NO ONE WILL PLAY HERE," then you're 31 flavors of wrong, friend.

@Ominous said in What Types of Games Would People Like To See?:

Yeah, humans only tends to cut out like 50% of the possible players.
