Oh I was unclear. This is a RL MMO. You get text messages that give you missions and you check in at places, scan receipts. Send me my monay.

Clearly someone should organize and summarize the complaints and examples, then link to the correct pages of testimony. If only there were angry obsessive people with a lot of time on their hands on the Internet.

I should make an MMO called "You go out, go to clubs, visit tourist locations, go to bars, get food, go to shops, pay $10/month to be told what to do.."

Why is it a top 100 company doesn't offer a Living Wage to it's employees while talking about employment as a career. Grr. Something to fix.

It's a geometric spiral.

Weird, I guess I idealize the nordic countries a little, because I would expect someone to ask before suggesting they know what you think and feel. And this is after trying to decide if said symbols in a Swedish bands cover art suggested those associations or not.

I knew the last of the true Aryans would reclaim their symbol one day.

I don't think you should think of it that way,. Every relationship ends, right up to the one you end by dying. Maybe you learned something, maybe you had some good times in there. Maybe if you had had a better understanding of the situation you could look back on it with fonder memories, or could have enjoyed it for what it really was.

So you didn't end up married with children or whatever your end game is, your time alive still is worthwhile.

Seriously. You'll probably never know why, and it really doesn't matter if you aren't in contact with your Ex anymore.

Eff you auto emojis.

My capital O underscore capital O is a look of wonder or surprise, not googley eyes.

AHA, make a MU* based reminder system!!!!

Someone code that. How often and how far off/late you are, and a message what the alarm is about.

Emergency and post-mortem rights are often in focus. Property rights etc can be handled anytime, or even without legal proceedings, but these situations often place you in the hands of standard ethics and policies.

Check for a phone app to remind you? Or use the calendar function or alarms or something?

Nothing in code is IC. It's information you, the player, may OOCly convert into IC knowledge.

Not even if you are a Virtual Adept or Neo.

And I don't use Unfindable to avoid stalkers at all.

I use it for my own reasons.

Then again I also pagelock people so** I **won't forget I don't want to page them. Code solves my social problems.

Well, to me, looking out at a bunch of players who I have no reason to be where they are (any non-public space) doesn't tell me much at all, save that folks do gather together, or they sit alone or idle. That's about all i think you can glean. The rest is +factions, channels for LFG or said factions, staff and staff helpers, and anyone I know who seems central or active. Like at TR I would bug Dash for Silver Ladder Stuff, I would bug the Pippy for Baby stuff, and I would bug October for TS then slut shame her on channels and via alts when she turned me down. Just checking to see if you read this far.

To my jaded and demanding of others mindset, I would hope you spoke to a staff member, a player helper, etc. new players are a valuable, yet special case. You could look at hundreds of people on +where at TR, yet not be able to find RP.

If you log on and A) all active players are set Unfindable and B) Unfindable means never contact me through any mean then Guest should leave, there is no one there interested in playing with them.

I think for myself, that +hangouts is a better measure of activity. I can see how many folks visit both truly public, and public to certain factions places. Beyond that, I could also see a game have NO way to know where people are to enhance the sense of exploration or mystery, for MUD-like games as well as intrigue based ones. It's not that OOC secrecy translates to IC security, it's that OOC mystery enhances OOC enjoyment.

Pregnancy boobs can be a cruel transient lie.

How often do people RP out "bad relationships" that aren't rape, and are exposed to other players? How often do people RP through breakups and reunions, affairs and so on, ON PURPOSE for the point of RPing stuff. I've only ever seen IC relationships be great until the OOC relationship changed, then it just ends. Sometimes with OOC recriminations, rarely (but not never) with IC recriminations.
