    • RE: Dragon Age: Smoke & Shadows

      You're going to do what you want to do and that's fine. But because this is a forum, I feel ok with sharing my opinion.

      Like I said before, the reason this sorta works on other games (I've never heard of WoD games having FC's, so not sure how that applies here), is those games have such a momentous cast of possible FC's. With such a limited pool here, it just seems both silly and asking for ego-driven cliques.

      The interview process doesn't change my opinion. This is the internet not only that, but these are games where people regularly pretend to be something their not constantly. If I can successfully pretend to be both the opposite gender, opposite sexual orientation and someone whose personality is in direct conflict with my own, why wouldn't I be able to convince you that I'm awesome, even though what I really want is the shiny badge of playing Varric or whomever else. If I get to play a FC, I'm automatically assumed by people who are familiar with the games to be important, or to be respected IC. It gives me a edge, regardless of where the stories go. I'll have a in, I won't have to work to develop a character to MAKE them important, I won't have to do the work to develop a backstory, or figure out my place in the world unlike everyone else who didn't get a chance early on to snatch up one of the coveted FC positions. People who come later after all the FC's are required to actually do the work, to make a effort that the people who just take an existing character didn't have to do.

      Life might not be fair, but we like when things are fair and can limit unfairness by choosing not to partake in something, and that doesn't seem fair. Again, the games that succeed with FC are the ones like Transformers and Marvel. With countless FC's to choose from. There just isn't a pool here big enough.

    • RE: Active Games?

      @kk Yes, despite the thread here which gave me some trepidation. I am having a great time at Liberation. Particularly in the Mage sphere.

    • RE: Can RP be art?

      Whenever I see a "Can blank be art" I get a slight tick. Art is completely subjective. Literally ANYTHING can be considered art. Take a shit, snap a photo...bam...art (to someone).

    • RE: Changes to The Hog Pit

      I don't understand what this really fixes anyway. If you don't wanna see them, can't you just...not go to the threads in the first place?

    • RE: Kushiel's Debut

      I was considering checking this out, even with the complaints but then Skaldia came on here and soured that decision. Jesus.

      Watching people purposefully put themselves through all kinds of mental gymnastics to try to purposefully misinterpret the BLM movement is fun, especially when they blather on about unrelated nonsense for several paragraphs and think that will fool anyone but a baby.

      Their message comes through, clear as a bell:

      I am upset that black people are doing things!

      It can be reduced even further:

      I am upset about black people!

      These are probably the same people who think that "/Lazy/ Illegal Aliens are stealing our /Jobs/..."

    • RE: Your yearly 'Active WOD' request thread.

      @alamias I'm looking at liberation, can you elaborate on your experience over there for me a bit? I would greatly appreciate it.

    • RE: Your yearly 'Active WOD' request thread.

      @greenflashlight If I were to run a Mu* I'd place the help file text on a wiki with a directory. I have the time, just not the skill to create/alter a Mu* platform. I ran a godwars based game back in the early 90's but I mean, most the work was already there...But yeah, I always have a struggle with the help/news files.

      @pyrephox I haven't dipped into Ares yet. But the lack of anything else might drive me to the platform.

    • Your yearly 'Active WOD' request thread.

      I check in occasionally to see what's active, I think the last time I did was about a year ago.

      So what are our options for active WoD games these days? Looking through advertisements it doesn't seem like much is out there anymore.

      I'm not sure about the other spheres, but Approval for Mortal or even someone looking at your character is exceedingly slow. I'm generally alright with a day or two but we're at four days now without even a peep.

    • Current active WoD and NWoD games?

      Seems all those Mu* aggregators are behind on the times, at least the ones I know of.
      Anyone wanna throw down a list of the current active White Wolf Mu*s for me...

      Maybe with a rating of Drama and Admin ego?

      I know of Fallcoast and City of Hope right now. I think the Kingsmouth is dead yeah?
