Now that's what I am talking about! Focused, written, no obligation to fill an hour whether you have material or not.

I tried really hard to listen to game design podcasts.

If the Mercy fits ...

Maybe werewolf should stop with the "Why do you make me hit you?" attitude, then someone might love it.

If you are adept at producing a character without need for a conversation, it may be that simple. As long as staff are actually looking each time, for whatever reason, then you can't just have self approval.

I believe this is what I read.

On the VR harassment, the creators of the specific game were horrified, and created a shield bubble power, where I gather if someone else is inside it, you just don't see them anymore once its activated. (I gather that in theory you may want to play in close proximity, back to back slaying the undead or something, so this fade out isn't automatic.)

I am glad they tried to do something, but I wonder at the effectiveness. But maybe my effectiveness hinges too much on getting people to stop this behavior, and not at least providing relief for the targets.

Opinions on this attempted fix? In has MU* equivalents in @gagging, as well as word swapping (as mentioned before hug --> greet), etc.

Assuming any given set of actions has at least one context where it is acceptable or better, who is responsible for making sure those contexts are clear? Who should be teaching these limiters? Is every human innately capable of walking these lines for everyone?

And if you're wrong? You look at the ashes and shrug and walk away?

I realize this is a contentious and difficult as fuck topic, but realize that its been going on for decades in the feminist academic circles, and THEY haven't come to a decision either. So your righteous fury ... is yours to have. There is no consensus.

So I'd say either being willing to explain carefully, and without attacking a person nor reducing their words to hyperbole, OR pointing to articles that sanely attempt the same, would be far more productive.

Or you can be angry and destructive.

Currently the recent thread is deceased. No minds were changed, no compelling thoughts were shared.

Way to win hearts and minds there Sunny.

My company asks if you want public acknowledgement.

The results of chargen seem more important to me: the +sheet.

If you can call on that, you can do everything you cam for.

And really, if players had to know the rules, at least a little, to make their character? Might help some.

Likewise, simple templates can be a great guide.

Edit, okay I am too dumb to get strikethrough to work.

I don't know why you think I am thinking about you Sunny. I never am. I am very specifically never trying to communicate with you.

Every voice system lets you mute individuals.

Also, you don't have to speak. Usually the tank or healer is leading for WoW-likes. For FPS, call outs will move you up a grade in team performance. Watch for teamwork so tight only voice could manage it in games, and you'll see what I mean. Like say a McCree High Noon double fake out.

Now if it could remember who you want to keep muted permanently, that would be good.

I'd like to see some facts on that.

Mm, I would say no, it is slightly easier to use, but Discord has a low bar.

Blizzard released its beginning voice service today.

Battle.net accounts are free to make.

Voice is free to use.

Could be useful.

It IS limited by region Friends lists. So I would suggest folks coordinate on which region they will be using.

You can always have life modules give xp for various things, enough to get the rating from 0 to whatever it is offering.

So if SkillA is 5 xp * the level to purchase (5, 10, 15, 20, etc)

And a package gives +1 to SkillA, then you get 5 xps towards SkillA, and it goes from 0 to 1.

If you get a +2 later one, that's worth 5+10 or 15 xp, which buys you SkillA at 2, and leaves 5 xp towards SkillA level 3.

Or you can do the simple math of finding out the max skill you COULD get from package stacking, and take the average value of a +1 from that.

EG lets say you could at best get a skill to 4, that is worth 50 xp. at a 1 its worth 5 xp. Average value of +1 and +4 is 5 is 10 xp per +1 in package.

Ask for help from the wiki sensei here?

Do you mean for listing purposes on a +sheet?
