uh. i didn't know you could eat that.

I don't think pointing out what exactly the app was is not important, if someone is going to come in and start dropping the idea that certain games are just banning black characters straight up. He mentioned two different games.

So sure, move the conversation. But I'd also move the strawmen posts from him about games banning black characters too, then. Unless someone can come in and give more pertinent testimony of that happening.

@Roz

Yes, I offered to amend that. Funny story, really, I just copypasted that chap's desc from another game and failed to make it PG enough.

Also a quote by you:

Arx is supposedly nice but I soured on being enthusiastic after the staff sent my black charbit back to chargen 3 times and then just banned me without further ceremony.

Arx doesn't just 'ban black characters'. There's plenty of black characters around on Arx. So unless you're willing to provide more to the story, what your concept was, etc, well then. I will take your whole thing with a grain of salt.

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

Those times that your friends encourage/enable you to do something that could be disastrous in RP. But they are so fun.

I'm allergic to smoking marijuana. Even when I eat edibles, I always have a weird reaction where it feels like my whole body has that tingling pain where your foot fell asleep and if you put any pressure on it? That exact feeling, all over my body. It's not fun.

@kk this is lovely.

@Apos said in The Game Game:

What happens with more games I find is people are just more likely to stick in the hobby and eventually return to one game or another as their interest waxes and wanes.

agree 110% with this. when i wasn't playing on arx, but there was no arx game to fill that niche? i bleeped out of the hobby. i've come back, a bit, but i've never come back to MU*ing in quite the same way as i did before.

because i was forced to get other hobbies and other friends. now people ping me to play video games and do other shit with them, and i just have never hooked back into the same active player i was before.

would that have happened if there was a game that i could have replaced arx with at the time? idk.

eta: also apos said it and he's a head wiz of a game with 200+ players. so it can't be false.

i found @Tempest in overwatch (look in lower left)

@mietze I mean, for sure. But I think you need to be quiet clear about that, then. For example, the BDSM thing. Saying 'No sexuality on public channel' is really unclear. You'd need to be more specific and say something along the lines of 'Do not discuss kinks, or details of your sex life.'

One disallows even mentioning that you might be gay, etc, while the other prevents talking about BDSM or waxing or whatever people discuss on these public channels.

@Roz oh i didn't see a roster notice in my cursory check of the boards. i bow to your judgement.

uh, i have to admit i haven't been on the game as much as others. but i think sophie has only had the one player the whole time?

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.

I would think even when the systems are ready, there will probably be some warning and a period of story wrap up. I mean, we can be excited about the idea that there will be a time jump while knowing realistically that they aren't going to one day just shut the game down to player logins to do a time jump.

@Kanye-Qwest I often get sad for no reason at all.

This has nothing to do with this topic. But I agree with everything you say. Also you are awesome.

@saosmash but you won't have had to personally sit through them, and RPed them!! that's abusive!

@surreality said in Personal Agency for Personal Boundaries:

If somebody is constantly ducking out of scenes? If various people are constantly ducking out of scenes when they're alone with Bob? This information is pretty useful to staff.

Fair point. I was thinking about it from an aspect of like, no one really has done anything wrong. But as a metric and tracking, it'd be fair to see.

@surreality I have to admit, I don't know why it needs to ping the staff members. Assuming that the people who were in the room weren't doing anything wrong or against the rules, they just stepped into a situation that was outside of someone's ability to play, then there's not really anything to inform staff of?

If they were purposefully trying to pressure a player into something, or doing something against the rules, or anything like that, it needs to be flagged up/requested in a different way.

you can be disrespectful while writing things respectfully. it's like how everyone dogpiled on faraday when she started talking about wanting to make a new MU* codebase with more web integration. she asked for opinions on doing that, but instead, everyone was like 'oh god you shouldn't do this at all it's horrible'. and sorry, that's not a respectful way to interact with a topic about ways to implement it.
