• PvP can be fun ...with people capable of separating OOC from IC. It’s the sort of thing that should be monitored from above, though. Or not! If a game starts to have too many competitive elements, with more and more instances of dramatized butt-hurt ...that’s usually my cue.

• Template: Beat the bad guy, win, fin. TPs that require brawn/dexterity/shoot-em-up but not a lot of creative problem solving in and outside of GM'd group scenes don’t really do it for me or help me invest in a character.

I acknowledge that both of these are matters of personal taste.

@auspice said in An Apology to BSO and BSU.:

I will note that the suicide of Marcus was not a single incident. He's done it on other games, too.

He did it on Unification twice and on 5th Kingdom.

So it's not like it was an accident, a mistake, or a 'one off' situation.

If abruptly tossing characters off-cam for injury counts... more than twice?

No apology necessary (especially if it is going to be filled with doublespeak) but I'm going to be real with you, you made me uncomfortable @DownWithOPP. When our paths crossed, the PMing and pressure you apply to join large scenes is irritating and eventually for me, once it became a constant that I could expect every time I signed in, bordered on aggressive.

@ganymede Ok, and yet no one is addressing the tone Auspice took, both in that thread after defenses as to the relevance of that story were made, AND HERE. It's not ok to call people stupid because they didn't understand you were being a regular silencing ass instead of authority silencing ass.

@Ganymede Please address this. Without insulting or calling names. This is a REALLY BIG concern for me, right here. If one of the 3 mods is going to be free to take potshots at KQ and I and a few other people, we should probably just acknowledge that we're not welcome here and go.

ETA: Let me clarify that I don't object to the potshots, I object to the 'free to', as in, she does it, any of us respond, and one of the other mods mod-voices as US for responding to her nastiness. This is not the first example of it happening recently, it is only the clearest and most recent.

This should be addressed. Since the confusion over the response to @meg, the only consistency has been blind defensiveness. I want to give the benefit of the doubt but geez does the all-caps <NOT MOD VOICE> only read as a big middle finger right now so long as there's been no acknowledgment that some of the confusion could have come from anyone other than the reader.

@auspice How clandestine.

@auspice It's a relief to hear that you aren't being singled out but it really sucks that this professor is being like that. I'm sorry. Sounds a lot like he's just fucking averse to his goddamn job.

@saosmash said in Fear and Loathing (Official Thread):

In that case, I'll just leave a polite note here that this game was not for me, that I left because I felt my friends and I were not welcome as new players to Vampire and people who came in with hooks to each other, and that while I think there are fun players on the game and even staffers who I enjoyed, I have to disagree with @Auspice's assessment of Luxor. F&L is extremely active especially in the Vampire sphere and there is no doubt play to be found there.

I don't think the only information available in an ad thread should be positives.

Seconded.

Atlantis is not scary. one of us, one of us..

@autumn I think that would require more self-awareness and forethought than most of the players (and staff) being talked about are prrrobably capable of.

@saosmash

@saosmash It's no "boob emergency" so... I have that.

How is it that the only times I ever get fucked by a car are while using a designated bike lane? I just had to hobble my shattered ass like five-six blocks to the nearest bike shop to shell out for a new rim ‘cause mine ended up looking like a clock in a Salvador Dali painting ~just to get condescended to by some douche with a janky blond rat-tail and an Ah Real Monsters tattoo (okay, jealous of that) over the duct tape plugging up the hole in my tire which is… whatever. The rim might be bent to hell but that tube sure as hell didn’t pop. Deal with it, adult-Rugrat. Meanwhile, the fuckin’ button apparently was popped off of my pants the whole time (lol) and they are covered in bike grease. RIP cute butt pants (I will avenge you.) and you’re welcome to the many fine people of this city who saw my underwear today.

@tnp Nope. Two different players!

@Kanye-Qwest said in RL Anger:

@Sparks Yeah, I'm not able to take my long walks with my pupper at night, and it's really bumming me out. That's, like, our special time! And it's when I get to listen to podcasts/audiobooks.

Aw, I'm very sorry. I understand how emotionally restorative doing that can be.

And another update. Back to a 2e game, and trying something new with a psychic vampire. Go go, redhead squad!

@Meg Sorry, bb. Pimps don't fall in love.

I just had to beat my neighbor’s big ass dog off of her with the end of a stupid ass swiffer. (In the event of a zombie apocalypse, I hope someone chooses my weapon for me.) I live four floors above this woman but just happened to have my windows open so I heard her screams. I had to run down, parkour the fuck through a stranger’s apartment, and grab a hysterical three-year-old out of the way with fucking blood everywhere while our other neighbor called an ambulance. She was in the backyard with her toddler when the dog latched onto her ankle and then her arm and refused let go. She got him as a puppy a few months after I got my dog, so I’d say he’s almost if not three years old. Only thing is, she’s never socialized or walked him. He just lives his entire life in a tiny paved city backyard surrounded by four cinderblock walls. She’s left her door open accidentally a few times (or more likely, her daughter has) and he’s been loose in the common hallway where I’ve run into him. I’m really glad he’s never been aggressive with us but… fuckin! What if that had been my dog? What if that had been her child or our neighbor's kids? This is essentially a building of single mothers, there are kids everywhere. She’s often referred to him as ‘not trained to be friendly.’ Real cute, you dumb bitch. I seriously almost just took the swiffer to her, too. Of course, he’s gotta be a pit mix and I loathe the bad reputation they get. My last dog Taurus was a red nosed pit and he was an angel / used to help me rescue feral kittens. Now, I’m just shaking thinking all about wtf is going to happen to this poor dog that didn’t ask for any of this. SJHFKJHFIDGIGFIEFUIGFEUHFH%@#5972 !! Grrr.
