sorry, bot, but 'no social justice' is not clear at all.

neither is 'no sexuality/gender/orientation'. like, i can't have one? i can't say i'm female? i can't say that henry cavill is a good looking witcher?

also i missed chet. wb, chet.

@derp said in GMs and Players:

If he doesn't contact you, then it's a moot point.

Not really. Do you honestly think that on a small game, the only way someone can affect you is by contacting you directly?

@derp ok, would you consider them going to every GM scene shady shit, for example? Or them talking on channels in PA ways that may or may not refer to you? There's a lot of things that can affect you when someone who is stalking you is on the same small game as you, that you might not consider 'shady' and isn't just, page your friends.

I love pub. I am one of the ones contributing to spam though rather than helping, so there's that.

Everyone has been really fun here??

They have an easy application, staff are almost always available and full of energy to help, and even creating your own PC and its house isn't hard at all as long as you put in some effort into reading theme and figuring out what will work and what will not.

For what it's worth to people.

let me back up to say that I don't think a MU* is a business; players aren't customers. But I disagree that it's like your house. Sure, you pay for it and provide it, but it's not like you get nothing back from the players that come there. They build into it, provide play and stories and put their own time and energy into it. I feel like staff that doesn't acknowledge that when they go about how much they are providing to their players is doing themselves a disservice.

It's more like a clubhouse. Yeah, you own it, but it's wasted money and a shitty, lonely building without the members that show up and contribute.

@Kanye-Qwest and, you couldn't justify airbenders if you set it before korra and after aang.

@thatguythere said in Alternative Formats to MU:

@ganymede
And I do think the technology will make the problem I have with the players worse.

Disagree. I am with @Roz. I /for sure/ am slower doing housework between poses than browsing the internet. So it is on /me/ to either a. do something where I can be attentive and fast in responding or b. if I absolutely have to do something that will make me slower, warn for it.

It's a people problem. You have a people problem where people aren't using basic etiquette, and then blaming it on something else entirely in this thread.

@Auspice not gonna lie, i checked my nipples.

@groth also motivation to code even for something you like (or get paid for) is sometimes hard to come up with? Just like anything. That is why a lot of people don't write books or make games for fun, or etc etc.

I've had a game idea bouncing around in my head for years, I know how to code, and that is as far as it has ever gotten.

@surreality The possibilities are endless! Code is amazing!

@Rook One day, I will. But that day will be when I am much further along to where it isn't really fucking shitty when I start that thread and get a bunch of people not suggesting improvements or possibilities, but just 'this is a horrible idea; it will never work for MU*s and you are horrible for wanting a web-based UI'.

my reputation is 699. aw yeah, iykwimaityd.

@mietze said in criticism not allowed in ad threads is only enforcing a false positive, prove me wrong:

%r%r

i just wanted to quote this for posterity. because it is cute. that isn't constructive i know.

@rook Full stop, no. This is the same shit that happened to @surreality when she posted for /one question/ and then people were criticizing shit for a game that was nothing about what she asked and she hadn't even opened yet.

Legit, no. No. You may think this is all fine, but it's not. It isn't like walking into a developer meeting and raising your hand and whatever. Someone asked a question, specifically, about what people had tried in other formats. They suggested an idea that they were tinkering with.

They didn't ask, 'please list all the reasons you think I am wrong for wanting to develop this thing'.

It look me a /long/ time to put together why the euphemism 'polish your knob' exists. Despite my tendency to do just that while cleaning and, well, having had experience in doing the other too.

Let's not remove the upvote button because the alternative will be upvote gifs. And I will use them.. hard.

@Auspice look. There's a long story there.

@Kanye-Qwest I feel weird upvoting that. It was an empathetic upvote, not that I like that you have to have surgery!

Feel free to disagree as you want, but I do think wanting to run a game based in an era where they can exclude people of color and LBTQ+ people does have a basis in bigotry.

I'm not saying you are a bigot if you want to run that game, but I am saying I think that action is bigoted and has a basis in bigotry.

There's my hot take for the day.

In the mean time, I'll live in limp-city for a few days.

That's what he said.

In all seriousness, hope you recover quickly.
