@Misadventure

It was all text from what I saw. But I did hear about another server (I didn't join that one at all, too busy at the time) that was run like a tabletop game, mostly over voice chat.

Gym wildlife, an important documentary.

@silverfox said in RL Anger:

Deliberate exclusion IS bullying by every accepted school definition.

Only to a point. As an example defnition: "Social Exclusion is now recognized as a sub group of bullying. This means that idea of excluding someone repeatedly, aggressively and on purpose with the intent to cause emotional harm to them, is right up there with verbal, physical and cyber bullying." (source)

That seems miles away from "if you let one kid join an activity you must let any kid join".

Certainly "you can't play with us because you're (insert protected class here - gender, religion, skin color, etc.)" is problematic. But that's very different from "you can't play with us because last time you kept stealing the ball". Context matters.

I'm over the game of who's TSing what Prince. I want something new and different but still very Amber. Chronicles wasn't too bad. There was lots to be had outside of the official court. I am more about exploring the setting independent of the princes.

I have some ideas but I'm sleepy. So I'll expand on them tomorrow.

@Luna I keep telling you that you should 😛

@Arkandel said:

But my main reason is that machines tend to isolate a single muscle, which is inferior - and somewhat dangerous - compared to compound exercises which work out and strengthen more than one muscle group at a time.

It depends on what machines you're using. Cable-based machines are safe, and probably the best way to hit the groups I need and want to hit. It's kind of hard to do lat pulldowns at home without a machine.

At home, I used free-weights and did bodyweight training, as previously specified. Many of my TBT exercises were compound.

@Groth Actually, if you notice, that was something I brought up on Requiem for Kingsmouth. On one hand, the book seems indicate that it only requires a single success, but that doesn't match how contested rolls usually work. However, as you stated, if it's a normal contested roll, then that's a joke because the ritualist will basically always have more dice. I mean, the ritualist is starting with a base pool of 2 attributes and a spec while the contestant is starting with only 2 attributes.

Along similar lines, this ancient-ass list of WoD MUSHes I found recently is kind of hilarious. The ad copy is amazing.

Cajun Nights
Last info: 12 Oct 1995, from TSC
Address: gilean.solace.mh.se 7373
Location: New Orleans, LA, USA.
Timeframe: 1998
Notes:
STILL not open yet.
New Orleans...the city shrouded in mystery. No other place in America commands such intense curiosity as the Big Easy, a city of parties, of laughter, but of a darker side, where criminals are local heros, and the police is known for its terrible brutality. From Mardi Gras to the Jazz Festival, N'awlins is steeped in centuries old traditions of work, play, and music. Experience the history, put your finger on the pulse of American's most amazing City.

City of Darkness
City of Darkness is a Storyteller MUSH unlike any other. Its setting is Manchester, an industrial city in the north-west of England and a place of many extremes. City of Darkness is at melandra.cs.man.ac.uk 2000, connect to the guest character, take some time to read our -extensive- news files and find out all about us. There will be extensive changes to the MUSH starting in June and characters with extensive RP before that point will have a much better position in the new MUSH which will replace the existing one.

Extensive!

Dark Gift
Dripping from the sewer grate above your head, a brownish, syrup type substance slides down your cheek as you start awake... wondering... "where the hell am I?" A rat skitters accross you foot and you jerk it back, splashing sewer water up onto your face. You look around in the dim light shining down from the sewer grate above, long, cylidrical objects lay in piles above the water line and below... tatters and trash flow in the murky slime.
The light from above is blocked and you look up to see what happened... but you are greeted by a face only... well, even a mother wouldn't love this thing. "Well, my precious little gravelly bit of human flesh... what do you think of my little... cupboard?" the sounds come out of the hole in the face that resembles a mouth... four claw-like fangs protrude from it's lips in a hideous smile.
"Speechless?"
It walks away bringing the light back to flood the crawlspace you're in... you look off into the darkness, shivering, cold, hungry... and a pair of red eyes stare back at you from the din. "Welcome... to Pittsburgh... Monsignor..."
And the world goes black...

That actually happened every time I logged on there. (Like 90% sure I played a pro-wrestler ratkin on Dark Gift.)

GarouMUSH
GarouMUSH can be found at "cesium.clock.org 7000". There is a guest character, appropriately named "guest" with password "guest". If you're interested in what we have to offer, feel free to come by and take a look around. Garou is a roleplaying MUSH centered around the lives of the werewolves at a rather large Sept in eastern Washington state. A primer document is available for anonymous ftp from "ftp.cygnus.com" in "/pub/garoumush.guide.txt". One of the players maintains a WWW page at "http://nyx10.cs.du.edu:8001/~whartwel/garou.html".

I kind of love that GarouMUSH clearly didn't want anyone actually playing there.

Trinity
First of all, the staff of TrinityMUSH would like you to know...we all MUSH naked! Just kidding...seriously, TrinityMUSH is set in the Durham/Raleigh/Chapel Hill area of North Carolina in the year 1999.

Oh man, so much personality!

Veil of Seduction
A quaint office located in a seemingly highrise with windows that show the downtown area of Charlotte, NC, the location and home of Veil of Seduction. It is layed out in a deco design, keeping to the basics of black and white. There are a variety of pictures hanging from the walls displaying different aspects, bars, resterants, and seedy sides of things. You get the feeling of enrapturement as you gaze out the windows, something sultry lies behind it all. Something that wraps you within its fingers and snags the spirit from your body. The Veil Of Seduction is something we must all pierce, are you willing to venture through the veil and into the gates of intrigue?

The only thing I remember about VoS was that an Amy hung out in the OOC room, looking to make custom rape victims.

@rucket Indeed. I logged in but I don’t think I said anything. To be fair it had been actual years before then.
