• I will need the house once a month for "LARP", which is code word for an elaborate NERF-weapon fighting game with roleplay elements that 9/10 time results in everyone placing their car keys into a bowl and having sex on surfaces that I do not clean. Afterwards, we rate each other's performance and assign XP accordingly.

Is it wrong that my first thought goes to those commercials of Trident where 4 out of 5 dentists would recommend, but the last one-- Of course he had a squirrel in his pants or something!

You don't want to know what happened the 10th time.

Yeees, join us instagramers.

@Cobaltasaurus oh man! I am excite. I want to play with you.

When you talk in a video game, and get assaulted with a slur of inappropriate 12-year-old-boy trying to be clever about suggesting sexual shit. (Because you are female, obviously. That guy was lucky we were in comp and I didn't sacrifice my rank to not heal him.)

@vorpal I have been camping in Grand Lake. I think I am the one who originally suggested the place as the setting for the game, and it just turned out perfect, I think.

@Ganymede For some reason, Invictus doesn't need that big of a boost. I mean, unless you guys want to roll Invictus.

just saw a sign for a winter storm warning on the way home from work. who do i file a complaint with about this?

first off, it's not winter, guy.

Ok but like, who wants to go all in on building a dragon breeding code with me for my game idea.

Anyone?

One day, I will do it. Because a dragon breeding minigame sounds fun as shit. And by one day, you guys know what I mean.

So everyone can have a gold of their own?

no, obviously the color would depend on the genes of the parents. if you breed a black and a white dragon, you're going to get a grey dragon. breeding works that way, right.

@twinprince oh man, I want so many more details. But in the Hogpit, pls? If you care to share stories.

Also it has been so long since I have received an unsolicited dick pic. Rip.

Yeah, people really dgaf about vaping wherever. My co-workers vape in our office. It's weird and just kind of questionable. I have to say, I don't care where people vape, but even as a smoker, I would care if someone was smoking in my office. Beyond the smell, it's the amount of smoke that gets to you from across a room.

That's also why I hate pot. The smell is rank, yes, but the amount of smoke that gets to you when they have a joint or a pipe is outrageous. It doesn't dissipate as easily. (Hotboxing, anyone.)

Can we all agree that anyone who smokes marijuana in public should be shot on sight? (Just in like, the foot.) I don't care if that shit is legal, man, it's really really hard to get away from your smoke.

@arkandel Yeah, I do like them organic, too. But if I am going for a length, I'd rather go for shorter rather than longer. Because I feel like if you are trying to go long, you are forcing things into the play that would never happen. Unless you have a really solid reason to hang around an unknown person for a long time (trapped in an elevator, closing on a house, etc), who here like, meets someone and spends a day with them? And scenarios where you are trapped with a new person probably just would not be fun to play, and probably should have some FF and handwave.

Of course, this doesn't apply to everything. No one size fits all soltion. You can totally have long, organic RP where characters just click. There could be a really fun reason for two new characters to be together for a long period. Mostly I have found short and sweet is a really good way to lay a foundation, without really knowing what the foundation is? Letting it build from there in little bits. (Or even when I do have a pre-planned relationship, like Teagan/Sebastian being apped in as pals. It feels more real if we develop that relationship in short scenes where we aren't stretching it to weird places.)

Also, ps, I had a scene with Teagan and Olive yesterday where Teagan stared at her phone half the time. It was amazing.

• I may or may not still suck.

@evilcabbage i don't believe for a single second that you read everything that @Hedge said. pls try again.

@Ganymede

eh. Not so simple, man. Not so simple. If a guy is alone in a park, smoking some weed, and I want to bring my hypothetical kids to play there, telling him to leave doesn't make me the cunt. (Especially since I don't know anywhere in the United States where it is legal to smoke weed outside of private residences.)

I'd say the same with even regular cigarettes. If you're alone, sitting on a kid's swing and smoking a cigarette-- Someone telling you to GTFO if they have a reason to be there doesn't make them the cunt. It makes you the cunt for being there in the first place.

There's an onus on the smoker to also be aware of where they are and why people might want to be in that space. At a concert, at a park, etc. And to realize that their /stench/ isn't the only thing affecting others. Asthma, allergies, etc. There are actual health issues involved. So it's easy to say 'go find your own space' but when you're say-- at a concert with a billion people smoking in various ways, man, there's no way to find your own space away from the smoke floating everywhere.

If you are in a place where no one needs to be in, where there are plenty of other similar places they could occupy that you are not in, then yes, the onus is on them or me or whoever in this case to take a step however many feet away and find their/my/god's own place.

@rnmissionrun incorrect. Dragonsong/Dragonsinger > White Dragon

@oldfrightful We've been here before. I recognize that tree.

@Catsmeow

uhm, literally no. It's illegal to smoke marijuana in public in Colorado. Edit to add: In Washington too. Must be done on private property, out of the view and smell of general public. Edit edit to add: You cannot smoke weed in public in Nevada or California, either. You can possess it but not smoke/consume it on public property.

And agree to disagree about public spaces. If you're in a place where there is going to be a lot of expected traffic and you're smoking, you are the asshole in that situation.

Also agree about elevators. Don't fart in elevators, guys.

@paris Yeah, but they introduced that /he/ was like, super into her and jealous of Sebell in Masterharper. Iirc. Which, yeah, a young girl having a crush on a mentor isn't that odd, and in DragonSinger it was played pretty well with Robinton being like, look at this guy here. But the reverse is skeevy, tbh.

@thugheaven said in Armageddon MUD:

So some former players are saying you can’t and current players are saying you can.

ACTUALLY, what current players have been saying has been 'Well, it doesn't happen that new players are punished, but it can'. Which isn't the same as what you are saying here. And we caught that 'but' pretty hard.

@Paris

it also stops no one in colorado, either, alas.
