Sex is part of human nature. It's normal. RPing anything is normal. The worst and most fucked up taboos should be Rped between consentual parties, in my opinion. Because this is our imagination land. Now me personally? I TS rarely. Like, once a month or less. Not because I have it on schedule, but because I'm completely turned off by whores/slutty characters. The kind of slutty that's just out there for TS, thinks in terms of sex, and overall exists for sex. I like depth and tension and story. I think sexual tension is way more awesome and adds much more to character development than the outright fucking. It's the 'things we want but can't get' that I think helps shape a character.

On the other hand, TS should be a personal preference for everyone. Some people do it, some people don't, some people do it a lot. That doesn't make them bad or good, it's just a thing. It's like liking slice of life RP versus Action-packed RP. As long as it's all separate from OOC, and as long as character's interactions stay IC, it's all good. Jealousy IC is awesome, jealousy OOC is not, is what I mean.

@Chime I don't think the game owner's behavior is acceptable. It's incredibly nice of you to provide hosting for free. Before I hosted my game through a professional host, I also used a free service. That gentleman was very nice and sweet, however because it was free, there was often a downtime, more than promised. While it was free I also donated $15, and wanted to continue donating, but the service turned out unreliable. I had mentioned that, and finding out that it was out of his control as the servers were only checked every Monday, I simply decided to move. If there was anything I was entitled to, I would never go about being rude about it, especially for a free service and choosing to donate. I still think he is a nice guy and provides great service for just-starting games, but if anyone has a problem with anyone else's hosting, they need but to move on rather than being sore losers about it. Don't let him bring you down Thanks for the free services you offer.

@Sunny Try smoking CBD strains, oils in particular. Although some tolerance will need to be established for medical means to work with a clear head, they impact the mental state least because CBD is the pain-killing component of cannabis, while THC gets you high. My favorite strain for headaches and body aches: Harley Quinn. Great in a vape pen, though for professional/medical use, I recommend investing in an errlectric nail so you don't burn too much butane when dabbing away. Live Resin is best.

Hey it's 3:49 a.m. and it's real interesting! I love that IRC is (or was) still being used as a medium for communication. Anyone here played Ultima Online? We had an IRC channel there on many "shards." That was my first RPG for 5 years until someone mentioned Mush-Mudding to me. Not anything specific either, just that word. I googled it and next thing I knew, I was writing and found it way more flexible than the 2D graphic game system that only allowed a pose the length of a tweet. Still, Ultima was Fun but Mushing is the Best!

Well it's definitely not for everyone.

The majority of WoD players always preferred stats and battle systems. It makes things easier. I myself host a D&D game every Sunday, so I know the pleasure of charts. On the good side: they bring out the gamer in everyone, help push forward creativity with a little pre-established help of things to choose from, but doing things from scratch? That's hard. Very few are drawn to having to work hard on character consistency, story building, and creativity with only freedom and inspiration as guidance. I'm lucky even one person showed interest (Thanks Sundown!).

On the other hand, going consentual with a family of friends or those who become thus in such a small place, there isn't any drama... Crazy right? There are many people out there who want to play dark games, but have preferences for this type of RP or that. We communicate these preferences. I know players out there who have undergone OOC psychological trauma and may not take to certain types of RP, but still want to play. These limits are respected and worked with :). I myself adore dark and gritty and thus, when my character is hurt/blackmailed/etc. by a friend's character, the spirit of good sportsmanship prevails with the little help of knowing that they are really on my side, and they are really here to tell a story.

Not to say this is better than WoD or anything like that. Just that it is a different MU* for a different taste! Sometimes we like charts, sometimes we want to go on a Haitus to London. It's a place to get away for existing characters should they want to as well. They are likewise welcome to take their experiences from here to any other WoD MU* or any MU* at all. We make no claim to ownership of anyone's characters I don't think anyone else does either.

And a little update: Today the builders decided to branch out and make a fictional district in London, thus, no one is pressed to recreate or be bound to, say, building Big Ben or Westminster Abbey. The District allows for more creativity, original places, and a smaller setting, rather than a huge spread-out grid of London!

And somehow through all this building and tearing down grids RP is still happening hah!
