In addition to plowing through all of the First Law and associated books, I have been devouring everything N.J. Jemisin ever wrote and she's basically like ... amazeballs.

It should be possible to say "Here is the issue I have with this idea" without saying "this idea is the worst thing in the world" and yet.

Honestly, Steam Guard is the most effective thing ever at protecting me from myself. My phone is all the way over THERE so I guess I'm not looking at sales.

I know a lot of people hate writing backgrounds. For me it helps a character gel in my head to write one so I'll do it even places they aren't required. But as a staffer mostly what I use it for is spotting places a character concept isn't fitting with my atmosphere / theme. Players with a shaky grasp of the game they're joining will do weird stuff in the background and it will give me the opportunity to catch that and guide them.

A lot of these questions seem WoD specific and I dunno. I've apped two different WoD games and never plan to do so again so I have no real input on that besides I hate WoD CG. >.>

@derp I've worked in criminal defense for years. My willingness to defend accused sexual abusers from criminal liability is distinguishable from my ability to accept victim testimonials on a more probable than not basis. I've talked about this before, but context exists, man, it's real.

Like ... working in criminal justice doesn't mean you automatically disbelieve all accusations of wrongdoing. Do you really believe all of your clients who say "bitches be lyin" about sex crimes?

Can confirm: it's great to specifically define that your game is its own damn AU and fuck "what happens in the comics". Robot comics game representin'? I don't even know, I'm on so much caffeine right now you guys.

Oh! Spyfall is a hoot and a half but we need to have enough people to play it. Also some members of my family are not allowed to play anymore.

This continues to sound EXTREMELY cool.

Ravioli. Yum yum yum.

I found it helpful writing out our guidelines if only because it helped ensure we were all on the same page.

I was out sick with awful stomach flu for a week. Paying clients: super understanding and full of commiseration and thanks for how hard I work getting caught up. Court staff: accommodating and reasonable. Coworkers: thankful I was not there getting them sick. Prosecutors: joking about what would have happened if I threw up in front of jury, generally reasonable and nice about it.

Public appointed clients: in varying stages of passive aggressive tantrum, many claiming that I never met with them before anyway (despite all evidence) and clearly never do any work on their case and the world is ending.

@darinelle Um, don't you know it is now your job to rp with me every day? Chop chop. This is your life now.

@onigiri I apologize for every time someone makes a furniture joke at you, it was not my intention and I wasn't thinking of it at all when she got her name.

@derp You said you were out, so I suggest you stop. Your failure to get it won't change and neither will the frustration of the people you are arguing with.

@ixokai I mean, I don't think a paragraph of history and a paragraph of personality is an "involved" app process. But I finish an Arx sheet in about 30 minutes, so.

@sincerely Hey.

@cupcake I feel a little like Natalie Dormer is also a face who can do WHATEVER IT WANTS.

@Aria YAY MIA.
