@Glitch How dare you not implement my idea exactly as requested! How...Dare...You!

@Sunny Not you Coin.

I misunderstood this comment...

"So you're basing this on sex MUs that are failing based on MUDstats? Becuase you could just look at Shang and have that entire reasoning fall apart. I also think Shang is freeform? Anyone on Shang wanna corroborate?"

Cause apparently he thought my example of games NOT failing were examples of games that ARE failing. So he misread me, I misread him and you thought I was talking to you.

I like the idea of players being in charge of their own oversight by submitting logs via the system. If the don't they can't argue anything. Other than that, yeah ooc spying is scuzzy.

I love to watch someone edit things live. Seeing them edit things twelve times after the fact is great. But sometimes you're not there to see the party, it would be nice to know a post was edited after the fact. Sometimes people edit things so other peoples comments appear out of context, or to hide something they were called out on. Sometimes they think of something clever in rebuttal minutes or hours after their initial lame comment. Other times it's mundane...

So I'm suggesting timestamps or a history like wiki's!

Because as we all know the internet is real serious business.

@Sunny What are you talking about? My original question is why one genre is easier to code over another (not systems, literally just the genre)...

Then I made the observation that people here were recently talking about freeform (which I mistook for sandbox) games aren't doing well..

Nowhere did I say that Mushes are failing in general.

On Bat V. Supes. I liked the Supes stuff, definitely didn't like what they did with batman.

Minor spoiler:
I would like to see a movie based on the dream.

I was just approved over at generations and aside from there being no request system, so we have to either wait for staff or send a direct mail with no way to track our jobs, the staff seems very amicable. I'm interested to see what kind of rp I'll find. I think I've made a pretty interesting character.

@Sunny TS, FURRY, BDSM Mushes. According to MudStats at least.

Please, go right ahead. Most black people endorse your suggestion totally.

Anything to keep you out of our afros.

Well, as a straight dude, I can say, you're not unattractive.

Also, I wish I could bust out a Afro, as it is I just have a stupid Irish dark brown curly mop.

I'm not against min maxing, if people develop the character beyond the sheet. The stats really don't effect the personality. Min Maxing in a game with combat as a focus is...just smart gaming. You want to do well and survive. But when that's your ONLY focus and you ignore the esoteric stuff, that's when it becomes a issue.

I might be confusing freeform with sandbox...

@Cirno I'm more Native American than African American, and my Irish ancestors were both indentured rail workers and slave owners, while my African American ancestors also owned slaves and were slaves, so it gets really confusing what I should be outraged about and smug about...ugh...I have a headache now. Lol.

Is this thread still a thing?

A couple people think it's a good idea, most of us think it's a terrible idea and the reasonings behind it (It's a play! Theater! I'm a director and my word is law!!! Or the I trust my friends and know them better than random peoples!) are terrible and the other side think they're reasonable and in the right.

Reading this, nobody is being convinced of anything.

@Sunny You're a stupid expectation!

I'm just saying the 'genre' of something has nothing to do with the ease of coding something.

That and isn't pretty much every freeform mush failing right now? Isn't there a whole thread on that?

@Cirno You're making a very large assumption about my skin color. I'm African American and Native American, with a smattering of Irish. I'm light skinned yes, but my family isn't.

I'm fine with their being safe places OUTSIDE of college. I don't think the Colleges should be involved. I don't think demanding the colleges to provide these safe places is right.

I'm not talking about expectation. Clearly.

I'm talking about what makes one 'easier to do with little coding' and more freeform. That has nothing to do with expectation.

@SG I'm against preventing anyone from going anywhere based on their skin color.

That being said, Colleges are for education. Not for providing health services. If we begin providing safe places based on skin color, where do we start. If black people get safe places, then white people, Asians, Indians, they should also get safe places. If we can do this based on skin color, why not gender identity and sexuality? Straight safe places, gay safe places, bisexual safe places, transgendered safe places, Furry safe places (Who decides whats a valid sexuality after all? What about religions? Need one for all of those, then what about social and economic status?

Where do the resources come from providing all these safe places? Whose paying for the staff member to oversee them? Whose paying the security to force these segregating standards?

What makes the genre of superhero easier to do or more freeform? I don't understand, the genre of something rarely has anything to do with those things. I say a science fiction game with vampires set on a moon colony is just as much work as a game that involves people with varied and unique powers set in new york.

The commonplace conventions of a superhero/comic book MU are such that it is pretty easy to set up while still catering to most of the regular players's expectations.

Usually, they are freeform, trait-based consent games. You don't really need a die roller that connects to a sheet; there are no corebooks or immense amounts of house rules to figure out.

You essentially just need: a MU, a sheet, a grid, and an approval process. That's it. It's so much easier than, say, a WoD MU. Not easy, mind you, because I hesitate to call anything I can't do myself easy, but it's definitely easier--or at least, simpler and with less requirements.

Ok and what is more involved in a non-wod vampire game set on the moon other than a Mu, A sheet, a grid and a approval process?

segregate colleges

This word maybe does not mean what you think it means.

"separate or divide (people, activities, or institutions) along racial, sexual, or religious lines."

Means exactly what I think it means. There are a group of BLM folks who wants places that White people cannot go into.

A small question: would this impact the lives of white people in any way?

I mean, a goodly sized number of white people tend to move out of neighborhoods as soon as black people move in, and you don't really hear white people saying, "I wanna be around black people!"

The problem is they are pressuring colleges to set up these safe places. Which means they want the academic authority to segregate white people from black people. The answer is not to encourage racist actions on the black folks side but encourage understanding between the two colors. The act of preventing white people from entering a place based on the color of their skin is the same thing the black's fought to get rid of. Turning around and doing the same things (like your "White people harassed blacks, so...it's not bad when black folks do it to whites" suggestion above) helps absolutely no one.
