Tfw when a prp lasts for nine hours and you regret none of it.

@Wretched I have also been MUing for decades and yet I still retain the opinion that I can write sex with people who are not masturbating while we do so, and in fact, have written sex with at least 15 people who I would lay odds have never masturbated while we wrote sex together no matter how explicit the poses are or were.

@Ghost Oh, no, it's not purely about writing capability. It is also about 'person I have assessed to be trustworthy enough to write this with without them getting all weird and sexual about it'.

I used to hesitate before posing in a gmed scene due to anxiety about spotlighting but now I am old and I just pose. I've discovered that if I pose "actively" and am doing something people are more likely to also be doing something and the beginning of scenes kicks things off right away instead of standing around.

I think it is just one of those things. Somebody's gotta break the seal.

Personally I think having another, similar-but-different game in a niche close to yours is deeply useful for any game. Sometimes a player is fine but just doesn't... "fit". It's stylistic. Having more options to choose from is better for the player and it's also better for you. It's especially nice if the other game exists and is nice and not a trash fire so you can feel not at all bad about saying "why don't you try X game?"

@A-B Don't worry. It's not your fault that Groth used this to go off on an only tangentially applicable crusade, and readers of your thread will not blame you for that.

@Auspice Man, I live in the pacific northwest and every single time I have tried out chicken with waffles it has had a motherfucking bone in it. This knowledge you are sharing that it is supposed to be a boneless chicken tender makes the whole thing make so much more sense.

It's not hard to tell at all. Content warning: snuggles is obviously a joke. I've seen people warn for content for profanity for a single swear word, which is the closest thing to an actually borderline case I've seen that I can recall.

Engaging with your hypothetical, I'll warn for penguins if I have knowledge that someone has been traumatized by penguins. It is no skin off my ass to do so, and if someone has undertaken the monumental act of emotional bravery to inform others they need a content warning for penguins, they deserve that 2 seconds of effort from me to give them the warning they've asked for even if others would think it looks dumb.

Also for what it's worth, as a staffer, I burned myself many times clinging to a philosophy of rules and transparency and would have saved myself and my fellow staffers a heck of a lot of sturm and drang if we hadn't stuck to our 3 strikes policy and had just shown some shitheels the door earlier in the process.

I no longer staff anywhere but if I did I feel like I would want to be way more empowered to go "you know what this player is a bad fit can we just tell them to leave". Regardless of written rule or policy. I never want to think about how many strikes a player has ever again.

Tfw when people start realizing how great your friend is that you dragged to a game.

YES PLAY WITH THEM I AM INDIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR JOY AND ALL YOUR FUN IS INDIRECTLY MY FUN

I think it's pretty easy to avoid rape factories by making society egalitarian, outlawing rape and banning creepers.

Updated for ... trying out WoD/Vampire for the first time ever on Fear & Loathing, oh God what am I doing.

@derp Meh. An accusation supported by a statement from an alleged victim will get you to probable cause in a real court of law. Probable cause supports an arrest. None of these guys are "convicted" but you can sure treat 'em as suspects without abrogating any constitutionality.

I agree re: Takei but I'm also worried about it based on the Stern interview, and I'm worried that my bias in his favor is strong enough that I'm too prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. He's been one of my favorite TV people since I was 10.

I log in from work even when not available for more RP than, like, messengers. I like the social aspect of the community and only play with people I enjoy. This also means I am around so that I can be scheduled with, or so that I can schedule RP with others for a time when I am actually available! Also, sometimes I'll get a quiet stretch at work and can actually RP something random.

But why is this casual approach to being logged in a problem for anyone?

I think I'm going to go into somebody's 8-page dev thread with the record of the hours and hours of work someone has put into a project and tell them not to bother, because . . .

You know, reasons.

I played "work, bitch" on my spotify the entire time I went through my 258 inbox work email after a two day leave of absence. My discover weekly is going to be ruined but I regret nothing.

If I'm invested in a game I want two characters on it. They don't have to both be FCs but they damn well are gonna both be pcs and they're both going to be maintained at roughly the same level of activity. I frequently need two scenes at once because if a scene is slow I forget I'm rping if I don't have two going at once.

It's really just a personal preference thing and I know we have had wars about how multisceners are the worst but I promise I'm not the worst. I am sometimes mildly crappy.

@surreality the tantrum I threw was not my most dignified moment on the forum, I'll admit, but once the mods saw it they acted right away.

I know I'm late to the Spiderverse party but holy shit it was so good and I am so happy about it.

@three-eyed-crow That would work great with the addition of the review forum for people to write in-depth reviews and detailed impressions of games.
