    • RE: MU Things I Love

      @testament said in MU Things I Love:

      Finally getting to the point in your game development that you're, after so many months of writing and stress and frustration. Finally, I (mostly)ready for a soft alpha for my game. At least for people that have stuck it out on the Discord server while people toiled away in theme writing.

      Granted, it's not completely finished. But it's finished enough. For the moment until I fill everything else out.

      MU Things I Love/Like --

      That people are still working on new games.

      Maybe I will like it, maybe I won't but either way it's good that people are still hammering away at new games for people to play.

    • RE: lol. lmao.

      @buttercup Okay first of all, using 'lynch mob' to describe any part of this is utterly offensive and absurd.

      Second. There was no stalking. There was no harassment. What happened was people calling out authoritarian behavior by the admin. The behavior of those in charge is what is alarming, not the people calling it out. Or let me guess, do you think the BLM protests were "violent riots" GTFO of here..

      @kanye-qwest said in The hog pit thread titled Admin Derp:

      People who did not have Derp blocked before now cannot block him, because he is an admin

      If anything else comes out of this thread, I think this is a pretty important point.

    • RE: MSB, SJW, and other acronyms

      @templari said in MSB, SJW, and other acronyms:

      I'm going to be as short as possible in my response that I will probably be forced to regret.

      I feel that it has been made abundantly clear on this forum, unless one is left leaning in nature, they should keep their mouths shut. Regardless of topic. If you try to speak otherwise, the dogpile will come.That if you are a moderate, or right leaning, you're simply not welcome here.

      That. Is exactly how this place has made me feel.

      I'll use this as a place to openly admit that I'm a filthy fucking centrist.

      there are dozens

      Since I've been too lazy to get around to doing this. Which honestly describes half of my MUing 'career' or what have you. Anyway, I'm really just putting down places and characters I spent any real time on since I have hopped on some places, spent like a week or two and then flaked out. I also want a Wheel of Time MU*, and the threads posted about one last year really was a damn tease.

      Current

      Past characters

      Arx - Vittorio
      5th World - Solon, Antaeus
      8th Sea - Gerrit (regretably idled out due to RL, did enjoy this place a bit)
      Eternal Crusade/CE - Gabriel, Tristan
      Fallcoast - Tucker, plus a couple alts I barely did anything on.
      Heroes Assembled - Warren Worthington, Victor von Doom, Kyle Rayner
      Heroes & Villains - Constantine
      Reno (3rd one or whatever) - Rourke, Holden
      Tales of the Round - Maelgwyn
      Valorous Dominion - Cosimo, Albrecht

    • RE: Development Thread: Sacred Seed

      @Arkandel @Auspice @Ganymede Flagging the mods, but can we rip out @magee101's posts and the ones responding to them into a hogpit thread? You can throw this one in too. That way this thread can stay focused on Cobalt's project and any updates to it.

    • Wheel of Time

      Let's have a chat about the Wheel of Time.

      It's one of my favorite fantasy series out there, and I kind of want to see a MU of it at some point, especially with the Amazon series in the works. I know there were a couple of threads last year, but they haven't been posted in in quite some time and well, I'm kind of starting at a blank slate here.

      I have some key ideas of what I would want to do:

      1. Center the base grid in Tar Valon. Let's be honest, it's the center of the world, and since you'll have people wanting to play Aes Sedai and Warders, it makes perfect sense to center a game here and then have rooms dedicated for adventures here and there.

      2. I want to use Ares and FS3 because I'm not a huge fan of any of the RPG systems that were made for the IP, so I'll need to think up some ways of figuring things out. I miss quirks from the older system, but maybe that can be added in some how? Worth looking into. Anyway, I view Saidin and Saidar as attributes with Earth, Fire, Air, Water and Spirit as skills. Maybe that's too simplistic? I don't know, but it feels like simplicity would be better, less for folks to learn?

      3. Time-frame wise, would probably be best to center it towards the books, but take out feature characters. Give PCs a time to shine as this is 'their time around the wheel', so to speak. Also the kingdoms of 'Randland' have far more details written about them with culture and stuff, so it'd be easier for people new to things to get a sense for how people from Illian or Arad Doman are compared to realms during Hawkwing's time, for example.

      Anyway, that's where I'm starting from. Sorry if some of this sounds like a bit of rambling, but I was doing some thinking as I was typing! Now to open up things for advice and other discussion and all that.

    • RE: Feet Voting

      I love that Jennkryst got banned for speaking factual things.

      This place has become the model for a GOP-run America. No dissension. If you do have an alternative point of view of what Mother or Father think, you should keep it in private, because if other people were to dare to see it, they might become corrupted.

      I don't even know what to say anymore. Ya'll took what was a Good Thing (moving the forum into another site and making it work), then poured gasoline all over yourselves and self-immolated.

      Whatever, maybe all the bans can be reversed once we earn enough XP on that one game to buy our MSB posting privs back, or maybe there are some people here who aren't just burning bridges, they are nuking them from orbit.

      @saosmash said in The Worst Thing You Have Done in this Hobby Thread:

      @rucket I got there ten minutes after breakfast ended and I got their frostaccino thing and no food. Absolutely sugar bombed myself, had NO potato wedges, and made myself queasy.

      Ooof, yeah I don't think I could ever do just a shake or frosty by itself, I definitely need something to go with it. So I definitely feel your pain 😞

      @rucket omg I also made a poor Wendy's decision just today.

      Is it as poor as a vanilla frosty?

      ALSO YOU KNOW WHAT ANGERS ME WENDY'S?

      Your breakfast potato wedge things are goddamn DELICIOUS and your normal fries are ASS. WHY CAN I NOT GET THE POTATO WEDGES ALL DAY

    • RE: The Worst Thing You Have Done in this Hobby Thread

      This isn't hobby related but I feel like kind of a monster because of it. I wanted a sweet delicious treat and decided to try the vanilla frosty from Wendy's instead of the normal, righteous frosty. People should pray for me for making such a decision.

      As for the worst thing I've done in this hobby? Trusting someone I shouldn't have.

    • RE: Is Min/Max a bad thing?

      The goodness or badness of min/maxing depends on the group.

      If you have a group of four and three people are making RP-based characters and those RP choices aren't exactly mechanically 'optimal', then the fourth person min/maxing the shit out of their character is a bad thing.

      If you have a group of people min/maxing to have a fun, challenging campaign... then that's perfectly fine IMO.

      No Jedi.

      Actually, the secret to Star Wars MUs is to say 'you can earn a force user character, impress us' and then watch as everyone trips over themselves to get one of the limited space-wiznerd slots. And of course, only give them out to the people whomst are lewd instead.

      Because as we all know, the most important attribute for a Force-user, next to a high midi-chlorian count, is a high lewd count.

      Lewdichlorian count.
