I think, if you are only selling physical stats and skills, you are giving a big, big advantage to players who are just good roleplayers. (And I say this as one of those good roleplayers, imho.) They already have that advantage. They make friends faster, better. They get into more plots and involved in more things. If they now don't have to buy their social skills and just play how good they are, then now you give them the opportunity of being powerful combat beasts and social masters at the same time, because where else would you put your XP?

I think you'd lose a lot of the archetypal characters you are wanting because yeah, you could still /play/ Littlefinger if you are good enough. But now you can play Littlefinger without having to back it up with stats, and also make Littlefinger a master magician or knight or etc.

@faraday I am just interjecting to say that I upvoted you VERY GRUDGINGLY. Because you are totally right, but I have been trying to pass you on reputation for weeks now.

@Lisse24
Isn't this a problem? Whenever I log into somewhere and see a WHO list populated by people who've been idle for hours, days, maybe even weeks, I really do start to wonder why they're even online. To me, when I log in, I log in with a purpose: I want to RP very soon.

Couldn't this sort of breed a culture where the idea isn't logging in to play so much as it is just logging in out of habit?

It could. But, consider this. A MU* is also a community. Don't you want the sort of culture, too, where it feels like a community? That even if you can't /RP/, you can still connect and chat with your friends? I have friends that I chat on-and-off with all day on Slack or Hangouts or anything else. If I am on a MU*, I want to at least be able to shoot the shit with people, even if I can't RP with them right that second.

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

why did the guy get fired from his job at the calendar factory?

he took a day off.

why did the magazine about ceiling fans go out of business?

low circulation.

D:D D:D

This post ended up way more aggressive than intended, but I'm totally committed now, so fuck all of you.

If you ever post anything less aggressive now, we'll know it's OOC for you.

Your mom is OOC for you.

The character of @Coin is aggressive and makes bad jokes. That's all you get to be from now on.

@Auspice I'd be down for reading it! With or without giving my thoughts as you want.

i hate, hate apple store. i also hate that i can't go a single day on my period without leaking, so i spend a whole day smelling like blood. i can't even go work from home because of apple and needing to do things on a little mac in the office.

@Arkandel I read them! I do!

I also read logs where people totally ignore my descs that I have written to pose things that aren't accurate and-- I feel so disrespected, you have no idea.

I find not reading descs as lazy as not reading other people's poses. Happens to all of us sometimes, but man. At least try, some of you.

Ideally, I'd like to have both. I absolutely dislike RPing in a desc where I can't tell what is physically there at most times. I would rather that, to be honest, than eschew it just for hooks and other things. Hooks and mysteries and atmosphere is a definite bonus, and will make me more likely to RP in a room that already has a good foundation desc.

@WTFE uhm, I have questions.

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.

UHM. I CAME TO WORK BECAUSE IT WAS IMPLIED WE KIND OF HAD TO AND THAT MOST OF THE TEAM WOULD BE HERE-- and i am the only one here. excuse. me.

why oh why why did i agree to go in to work on a saturday.

my reputation is 699. aw yeah, iykwimaityd.

@Ghost shh, let @Chet speak.
