Night Vale is absurdist, as much as it's anything. I dunno if it could ever really work as a MUSH, because Night Vale has no rules. it resembles more than anything one of the social MUs of the early 90s, where people were "persona playing" rather'n roleplaying. Night Vale could be to the twentyteens what Dhalgren was to the 90s. it's more a freebuild/makeshituppus venue than a roleplaying game.

I never met the woman, but I've long loved the Tiffany's Amber comedy series:

It was just about goofy things in the Zelaznyverse or AmberMUSH culture in particular. I just this moment got to wondering if she's still around in the MUSHosphere. And if she's not, if anyone knows her and thinks she'd like hearing it, let her know at least one random stranger thinks what she did was timeless and goes back to it now and then for a laugh!

You know what was truly monstrous? No, not how they screwed up Anders. Did anyone notice how they reskinned Zevran from DA:O to DA2 to follow the new Elf model paradigm. It looked like they took his face, injected it with botox, and bashed it in with a frying pan til his face stuck a certain way.

he was always kind of a fanficcy character even in DAO, but it was the better side of fanfic, god damn it. even if he reminded me of the Gundam pilot fucking the Ranma 1/2 dude who first introduced me to homosexuality, he was well-executed enough that it worked well enough not to be embarrassing. he didn't deserve the frying pan makeover.

and the Felicia Day character didn't have the redesigned elfyness, presumably because Bioware assumed the nerds would only buy her DLC if she was hot =| then again, hard to blame anyone for not wanting to be represented with that freaky out-of-nowhere goat nose. didn't they drop it in Inquisition and go back to elves being all cute all the time? representative of how many fucks I gave playing Inquisition that I don't remember.
