    • RE: Regarding administration on MSB

      I think that people who think all of MSB is just a trashcan fire are going to keep thinking all of MSB is a trashcan fire, no matter the moderation. People that post confrontational, asshole-ish things are going to keep posting that.

      What really concerns me is us in the middle. I shared a RL story in the Hog Pit on a thread. It was a hard RL story to share, because it is shit that people rarely talk about because we're conditioned not to, but it was relevant to the discussion. I was met with a moderator saying not to share RL stories on the thread. I have no way of knowing if she was speaking as just another poster or as a moderator.

      But man, it struck me wrong, guys. Not because I dislike @Auspice. Not because she was moderating. There is no clarity. There's no sense of that being done for the community. It was bad mojo.

    • RE: MU Things I Love

      going to go do something to maintain notes on a thing and finding out someone already did it and did it better than I could have.

      I especially love it because I think it is because they are excited about this thing, that I hooked them into, and that is just lovely.

      (Yes, this also turned into a humble brag. sorry not sorry.)

    • RE: How to put an end to whisper game attacks?

      @surreality My constructive advice would be to no longer engage with these people. Block them from your view and life. I doubt the whisper campaigns will end, but you cannot do anything really about that, except trust that either people will be smart enough to approach you to find out you side of the story or that they aren't worth your time, either.

      For what it is worth, I have not heard you shit-talk or disclose anything about anyone. I have also not heard any whisper campaigns about you, but I also am not friends with the type of people that would start whisper campaigns.

    • RE: Auspice Needs To Move!

      Just as an update! Auspice has made it as far as Colorado, alive and well! I cut my finger to pieces cleaning for her. We are ordering pizza; I am going to fill up her tank in the morning.

      All is good!

    • RE: Regarding administration on MSB

      I think it's unhelpful to assume that we're stupid because we don't know what is being moderated or not. I can appreciate people's concerns about my story getting obfuscated, but when someone speaks up to share their RL experiences, it shouldn't matter where. They are choosing to share them there, and it can feel very silencing for a mod to come in and say 'not here'.

      It is the same thing that happens in RL. You can't share your stories at work, because that is inappropriate. You can't share your stories at a party, because it will bring down the mood. Then people wonder why no one ever hears the stories that we all collectively have.

      I mean, doesn't everyone love organic changes in story, grid, plot? Whoever plays Ruby @ Arx, that was really fun and amazing. I'm glad that the gown will move on and I think it's an interesting story arc all around a piece of clothing.

    • RE: GMs and Players

      Constructively, this thread has once again confirmed that I would never want to play on a game that Derp staffs on.

      Not my jam. I even get where you're coming from, where basically you are picking between two players and who knows who is lying in this high-stakes decision of Who Gets To Play On My Game!! But man. A little humanity and empathy goes a long way.

      it's that time again, my friends. i am out. surr wasn't wrong with observing that i am Not Doing Great and it is spilling over into everything, especially here. so i am gonna peace out. maybe for good this time, but i make no promises.

      take care. enjoy the drama but remember it is just that, internet word game drama. be kind when you can. when faced with a decision, always make the choice that will have a better story.

      @Chet As not an English professor, I think this is all gold. Please start a thread of just 'Chet's Thoughts'. I'd totally read your thoughts on MU*ing as a whole, superheroes, and anything else that moves your heart to talk about.

    • RE: Alternative Formats to MU

      @rnmissionrun said in Alternative Formats to MU:

      I honestly do not think that simply moving from MUSHcode to Python (or Ruby) will make it 'orders of magnitude' easier. Sure, it might help some folks, but IMO if you don't have the aptitude for coding, simply switching languages isn't going to make any difference. The problem is that doing anything non-trivial in /any/ programming language requires real skill. Non-coders probably won't have those skills, or be interested in developing them.

      Lol. I once showed a real coder (a man who has worked as a systems architect in C, C++, and C# and node.js and all kinds of languages for 20+ years) some MUSH code and he stared at it in horror and couldn't figure it out.

      He could probably learn Python in a day.

      And that's an /experienced coder/ learning. Not an inexperienced one.
