@bronn said in Armageddon MUD:
They want players who are willing to lose while they get to have fun.

In some games, that works just fine. In a roleplaying game it's hard to justify. The <1% new player retention rate should be a warning sign and instead it's a point of pride. Oh well.

Please don't "they" like my opinion of an ideal resident is the shared opinion of the entire community. I assure you, it's not. If the amount of people being vocal in defense of those accusing doesn't clue you in I don't know what will.

Like I said before, like others have said, it's harsh, not for everyone. If you think you'd like a harsh roleplaying environment but reading this has made you scared then at the very least you should take away that Armageddon is a place where reading the instructions is necessary unless you want to end up like the ones bad mouthing it. Or you can let others opinions lobby you with their agenda. You might be good at playing an aide and politicking!

I hope to see ya'll in game, for real.

Like I said @kanye-qwest both times I added my 2'sid:

*Read all this and if you're feeling intrigued at all, come give us a try. The worst that could happen you're witnessing right here. But remember you're also witnessing the best.

Make up your own damn mind.*

AND

The only way you can repute whether or not Armageddon offers the best in RP or storytelling is if you actually check it out if you're looking for a new roleplaying place to frequent. Not YOU you, the general you.

We've already gotten some from @ThugHeaven's post. Thank you Boo!
Hell, even if we get just one it was worth it.

You gots to work on your trollin' @Kanye-Qwest, your namesake would be sooooo ashamed. Heh. I crack myself up.

@kanye-qwest

Recruiting is a constant task, winter in particular cause it sucks so most of us stay indoors and chill doing whatever so it @ThugHeaven came here recruiting, awesome, we can always use more Arm-addicts

I'm mos'def'knee NOT for general recruitment. I think of Armageddon as a "survival of the fittest" environment. Anyone can join, only true residents will become players. It's always been this way. Look at the disgruntled, some spend YEARS trying to make it work. That's crackageddon.

I prefer to deter with honesty than attract with selectively enticing sharing.

I'm not surprised there are so many intense feelings surrounding this game. It does that. Gets to you.

I won't sit and justify anyone else's actions. During my tenure I have been fucked over IC'ly by staff and players alike. I doubt a single one of them would admit it. I doubt that players who's characters always hate mine no matter what would admit it's an OOC thing either, heh, but the point of all these accusations and claims is that all sides have HELLA FEELINGS for this place, its staff and players.

Armageddon isn't for everyone. It's not. It's for intensity and fear, adrenaline and hatred. It's for racism and superiority, for dominance and a very oppressive social structure. Armageddon is for murder, for corruption, for betrayal. If you wanna be a princess, you gotta earn that shit. She's still gonna die though and it's probably gonna be fly as fuck.

If you're into roleplay, if you read things and feel shit, if you loath the way that guy talks, walks, breathes Armageddon is for you.

Things change, people mature. The staff now communicates in a way that is emphatically NOT like the game.

I wish players who were burned would open up dialogue with staff IF THEY LOVED THE GAME. If they don't then, meh, let them stay butthurt and bristling with righteous indignation at the unfairness of it all.

Read all this and if you're feeling intrigued at all, come give us a try. The worst that could happen you're witnessing right here. But remember you're also witnessing the best.

Make up your own damn mind.
