@Kestrel said in How To Treat Your Players Right:

I half regret that I didn't complain about him but at the same time ... I'd like to hear from staffers here. Someone you don't know joins your game and says 'your BFF here is making me extremely uncomfortable and wilfully ignoring the fact I've told him he's exacerbating my mental health issues, along with my polite requests to terminate our communications'. Whom do you believe? I didn't want to be a trouble-maker. I wanted to come to this game where no one really knows me, stay anonymous, have fun, no drama, and not rock the boat.

I've put my staff hat on with friends of mine in the past. I mean, your question isn't really "whom do you believe," because it didn't even get to a point where you knew if he was going to totally deny everything if it was brought to staff. Which he could have! But. I can say this: if someone came in with a complaint of that sort of content, yeah, I would absolutely investigate. Even if it were painful. Because if you tell someone to stop engaging with you and they continue to do so, that's a really clear boundary that's been placed and then crossed. And it's not okay. If he wholesale denied it and it became a he said/she said and nobody had logs -- well, honestly, at that point staff could still say "Okay well leave Kestrel alone in the future because that's what she wants" and then if you hadn't been logging before that point you could screenshot any further contact.

This is just plain stupid. Will Smith isn't black enough for a role? Wtf.

I mean, colorism is a thing, there is plenty of academic study on it at this point, you can read plenty of papers and articles. It's not a made up issue.

Are there spaces or tabs in front of your paragraphs? Might be that.

Watching someone make a bold choice that is so deeply IC for their character even though it risks very serious IC consequences that could bring the end of that PC's story. But it's the choice that sticks truest to the heart of a character. Just really exciting to see.

oh my god it's DIFFERENT

@Cupcake said in When To Stop Listening To Those Voices:

Medication is someting I do, and it's granted me a vast improvement - 5+ years ago I would not even be broaching this topic, I've now been on medicatin for the last three years or so. About a year and a half ago I lost my preferred insurance and was no longer able to utilize my mental health team, I haven't been able to find a therapist since.

I just want to drop in and be like GAH FUCK THIS SHIT I HATE AMERICAN HEALTHCARE IT'S SUCH BULLSHIT. I HATE how hard this country makes it for people to find good mental health care that works for them, and I'm sorry that insurance bullshit took away a thing that was improving your quality of life.

I dropped this note before, but just to put it with others: when closing a log in rc4 now, if there are multiple logs running so that it gives you the selection tool to pick which to close, the selection part works, but clicking the button to confirm and close doesn't do anything. (It highlights on click, but doesn't close the selection tool or the log.)

@surreality It's not something I encounter often with myself, because I tend to be pretty aggressive about my boundaries, and really upfront in my communication when I feel like somebody's being a jerk to me. But -- yeah, feelings got involved here, and so I didn't really defend my own feelings as much as I usually do. In the end, my heart feels pretty bruised, and it's lingering in a really frustrating way, but I'm mostly angry at the other person rather than myself. (Mostly.)

Realizing that you've let someone treat you crappily for a fair amount of time while kind of making excuses for it. While you are such a vocal proponent for healthy boundaries and expectations for how you let people treat you!! God it is so frustrating.

@Packrat I believe you are looking for the RL things I love thread but I will accept some of your cakes in payment for your fine.

@A-Meowley said in Atlantis Client:

I’m on the latest Mojave now & I’ve noticed some things that broke: no more notification for pages when the window isn’t active (ever after I requested a Beep in events), MUSH text editor doesn’t accept text anymore (so no fancy automatically colourful/formatted text!), & for whatever reason I can no longer delete spawns under world or game preferences. There may be other issues, but it’s all I’ve noticed during basic use.

Interesting. I'm on the latest Mojave as well. I'm still able to get notifications for pages when the window isn't active, but I just confirmed that the MUSH text editor doesn't accept text for me either. (It's not something I ever use, so I hadn't noticed before. You can still use the Convert Input to MUSH Format function to at least get your formatting, though. But you're still losing color, yeah.)

I'm pretty sure that deleting spawns has ALWAYS been buggy for me, though.

@wahoo

@wahoo What version are you running and what issue exactly is happening? I'm on 10.14.3, which it says is the latest, and haven't been having trouble, so I don't think it's a universal issue with the OS. @Sparks might be able to troubleshoot with details tho.

I FINISHED "YOU" YESTERDAY AND I AM VERY ANGRY ABOUT THE ENDING.

That is all.

@arkandel I'm just really sorry. That's all.

@goodstarbuck Just a note that people will need your full Discord ID (name and number) in order to find you on there!

Ugh I'm so mad about how good The Good Place continues to be every week.

@auspice I mean, I think that hopping onto someone's ad thread and being like "but why don't you have the sphere I want!" is also kind of shitting on someone's thing. It boggles me every time it happens on every new WoD game thread.
