I imagine @Kanye-Qwest with more of a Dexter-style kill room vibe than a shotgun and a porch.

@Roz You're not the rules maker!

@Arkandel Noted.

@Ghost do you want another member?

Are these factions all mutually exclusive or can they overlap? If so, I think I know another member...

@Three-Eyed-Crow

ohshyit, I forget who's brainless sycophant I was...

@Sparks Agree w @Roz on this one. DMing is gonna steal that last bit of life force. Here, I'll sit in your place -- do they like crying in fetal positions? (I really won't, though. I do not volunteer.)

@Kanye-Qwest said in RL Anger:

@surreality Could you just stop?

Evidently not.

@surreality Thanks for interpreting.

@Roz Well now you know. I didn't kill her, so 'Sticks and Stones', etc.

I find it telling that in a day and age where there's enough real hate out there that Trump is president of the U.S., people are having fits about terms like 'Kill yourself' and 'Drop dead' and 'Don't be a dick/cunt' that have been around for decades before they were even born. It's like people are thrashing about looking for something/anything to be angry about in an attempt to feel relevant while the world is burning. I can say whatever I want, and anyone can respond about it as angrily as they like, and then we all go about our daily lives without the exchange making a bit of difference to anyone. Useless, but we're going to do it anyway.

There’s a whole lot that’s been around for decades before any of us were born. Doesn’t make it any less repugnant. Not accepting being called a cunt is far from a cry for attention/relevance and ‘Go kill yourself’ is not an everyday expression.

@Thenomain yeah, I wouldn't say it is wrong of anyone to cheer (except in the case of it being someone's PC and that person is already upset, but in that case it isn't wrong because of celebrating the fictional death but because you are being rude and inconsiderate to the player), just that it only makes me personally uncomfortable. I'd never tell anyone not to or expect them to feel bad or moderate their behavior for it. Just admitting to a silly little thing on my end.

Character death is rough to witness when it isn’t the player’s choice. A char on a game I used to play on semi-recently cough continually kept sharing valuable secrets with random PC’s that put my character and others in jeopardy, even after being confronted ICly and warned to desist. There were some definite cheers from the peanut gallery but the overall mood was just very wince-worthy when it was decided that they had to be ‘taken out.’ Not at all celebratory.

@Auspice That's awful and such an ugly thing to have happen to you. I think having that kind of internal response, at least initially, is natural.

It's just such an uncomfortable feeling, afterwards? Like oh god, I was briefly happy that someone died.

But then again, I guess I'd be thrilled if Trump dropped dead, so I suppose in some cases it'd be warranted?

Because you're a decent fucking person.

@Aria That makes a lot of sense. I'm in Philly.

@Meg Did I ever tell you about the time I kept discovering baby opossums in my house? The first time, I was in the basement doing laundry and both cats were skulking around supervising me. There's a litter box down there and I heard somebody kicking y'know using it... It took me a good several minutes to realize that it wasn't either of the cats. This little oppossum smaller then my shoe comes sashaying out like, "What's up guys? What's goin on? I'm just being casual."

The next time it happened, I was in the kitchen with friends over. There was music blasting and lights all on. Another little creature walked right across the kitchen floor to eat the cat food. The cats just started queuing up behind it all wall-eyed waiting their dumb turns to eat.

This happened like five times. I kept driving them to new and distant locations.

@skew I don't know what # player Mae is on but assuming you've had her a while, Mae was so cute to rp with! shift eyes if that was you.

I’ve played on BSGU for round-about three months now but thus far, the culture and player-base that Fara has cultivated here is active, welcoming, and drama-free. I’ve yet to have a scene in which everyone didn’t turn out to be a talented writer. That’s always a pleasant surprise jk -- it’s a f*cking miracle. There are constantly events being run and by design, players are kept up to date on IC happenings regularly. For a slow-to-boil recluse like me, I can honestly say I've never been left feeling as though I was missing out on plot for not being able to make every single one. You can play at your own pace. All in all, I’d say it’s a place that’s worth checkin’ out.

@Meg if you was my girl~ ...we'd have double the cats.
