@Silver I want to just start paging people now and saying, "I noticed you are unfindable... Who you TSing and do you need a third?" >.>

For you I make room.

I dislike the unfindable flag on principle but I use it, because it might just be a few bad apple but boy are they bad.
One every game I start out findable and then only turn on unfindable after getting pages about why are you rping with so and so, or omg you are in a private room you must be tsing or what not.
Sadly it is not an isolated thing i end up setting myself unfindable on between 1/2 and 2/3 or the games I have played on. ddly enough I must not attract the popular type of crazy cause Reach was one of them I never had to.

Pretty much echoing what I said there, yup. Same reason I unfindable myself.

@ThatOneDude Happens All. The. Time!

Just because the Prince did a Dirty Sanchez on his ghoul doesn't mean I was there beating off to it. It was all part of the artistic statement of the moment, the way he was indulging in kinky sexual activity to bolster his self-identity against the Beast and...

WTFever it was hot. Two Ghouls, One Cup.

Can we PLEASE stop making rules based on the very few bad apples, and instead start getting rid of the bad apples? This isn't at you, @Silver, but an illustration of the trend.

I get tired of people utilizing +where to see who I'm playing with so they can page me some snarky horseshit about whoever that person is or try to give me a hard time about them, or sexually harass or slut-shame me about how they know I'm TSing them, "collecting a harem", even when I'm not, or just to annoy me with their garbage.

I set myself unfindable and make unfindable builds all the time, and the problem becomes 75% solved. And I don't care. And anybody who doesn't like it can eat it! You wanna know where I am, stop being a creeper and ask me! So it probably should be at me, if it wasn't before, because I abuse the hell out of unfindable and will do it forever.

Why can't THIS be the Batman we get in the movies?

I once RPed with someone who took forever to pose, but her poses weren't huge chapter-length entries, but instead like, a short paragraph. Really? You needed an hour for two sentences?

After the third scene I was like, 'Nope.'

There was a similar person I used to RP with now and then who would write super long paragraphs every time filled with colorful metaphor and vocabulary choices that were so varied and esoteric that it was sometimes difficult to tell if she was even using her words correctly. I recall one pose where she walked across a street but thanks to her overflowing language choices it seemed like she was floating across a river and sliding along the edge of a wooden fence instead.

Simple is best. When in doubt Hemingway that bitch.

@Roz I have roleplayed with someone who was a professional writer, and this is absolutely true. I'd have to wait upwards of 45-90 minutes per pose, and the poses would break the buffer on the game. They were great to read but often were jammed with what was going on his character's head, or the environment around him, which had almost nothing to do with the actual action of the pose. And oh my word would he powergame. He just expected us to come up with an equally powergamey response to undo his original power gaming.

When I asked him if he could cut his poses shorter for purposes of time management (it took us a week to finish a single scene), he got hyper offended that I would interfere with his art and left.

Who the hell was he, Robert Jordan?

And I hate the Unfindable code. Personal peeve.

Unfindable code is great. You don't need to be able to see that I have a secret room or even a base on-grid by using +where. Nor is it necessarily anybody else's business who I am having secret meetings with. people can and do use that knowledge OOC.

I initially read this as "my best friend got hers jacked during a movie", and had all sorts of questions.

Today we all learn many new things about Luna.

@VulgarKitten said:

First.... someone STOLE a VIBRATOR? ... Second ... O.O @feeldoe. I feel very uneducated and naive right now.

I once received a call to collect one from the lawn near a bio-research building. Gloves.

@Luna That looks a lot like a Shenis.

@Mnemosyne said:

Yeah, Rose and Matt aren't working on Mage or Changeling, so I don't think one can blame Beast or Demon for the slow progress there.

I can, since it's one organization with finite resources. Even if different people are heading up production of a given line, they are taking up resources which go to the whole project and there is an inevitable matter of managing those resources by priority. I'm unimpressed with their priorities.

Mind you I care about as much as being stuck in traffic. It's inconvenient but it's not like these games matter more to me than a passtime, and meanwhile I will do other things.

@Coin Metaposing is your friend, if done right. When people abuse it there is much annoyance, but it's just another tool.

@Mnemosyne said:

What do people think of Beast? I really like the new revisions.

I think it's fine and all but they haven't even finished Mage yet, or Changeling, and have yet to explain the changes to Bloodlines in Vampire, and all their deadlines get pushed progressively back and back, so some brand new game line that we have never seen before is less exciting to me than fixing the gaping holes currently left in the broader nWoD 2.0.

@surreality said:

@Silver Especially if it's a guy. Seriously, epilator + lemon juice has been my go-to solution should I ever have the need to do a Jack Bauer impression.

"Let's recap the situation, my friend. You are secured to this gurney by manacles and leather restraints, and a ball-gag. This device in my hand is an epilator. Before I start asking any questions I'm going to use it on your left arm, then you'll know I'm serious. When I ask you questions after that you will be forthcoming, polite, and direct. Aggressive language or behavior means I go to work on you. Deception means I go to work on you. You are a hairy guy, so there's all kinds of real-estate here, and I have all day..."

I'd like to see THAT in a movie.

@surreality said:

I went with 'epilator', because it costs as much as a full body wax does around here. They do not disclose the ongoing cost in screams on the box, though, and the instruction manual needs to include: when the endorphins kick in so hard your hands are shaking, put the damn thing down and wait until later. No, later than that, too. Maybe tomorrow. Or next Thursday.

I can make anybody confess to anything with an epilator.

@The-Tree-of-Woe said:

@Silver I will admit sometimes I'd love to RP, but I don't know the fuck's going on!

But really I think at times my desire not to stand around and chat makes me something of a pariah. I should probably take a cue from you and fuck with people's heads a little more.

Come in. The water's great!

@Arkandel said:

It's simple - most players aren't like that. That's not to say the average person isn't a good roleplayer, far from it - but the average person is not proactive in any sense of the word.

Yup. That is exactly the case. The lack of proactivity is a game killer. And those who are proactive end up, at some point and until they get fed up with it, on staff.

Texas really fucking hates unemployed and disabled people without kids. Jesus H. Christ, you'd think I was trying to run around and take tax dollars then cackle while I buy some fucking rice and beans for the month.

Well if you could stop with the cackling at least...
