@Ganymede If by that you mean I should go kick my cousin in the ass and demand he start coding...?

RE: CofD/WoD Mu Installer?
I think @tragedyjones is asking why have we not, as a community, came together and developed some sort of single install file that just loads everything up and makes it ready to go, so that we can all make our own MUs without needing the technowizardry.
To which @Thenomain's answer suffices, I think. Personally, I was trying to get a new program going to address the problem. Unfortunately my coder is busy with real life or whatever.

RE: What are you listening to?!
I've been told I might be one of five people that likes Kid Cudi's new album, Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven.
To quote an article: "It’s not that’s it’s just terrible. It’s that it’s so mind-bogglingly atrocious, so far removed from any modern conceptions of taste, that it grows into this fascinating and hilarious slog where each new half-baked idea, offensive cliché, and ill-advised Beavis and Butthead skit brings it to deeper and deeper lows, such that by the end, you could make a convincing argument that it’s the worst album of all time. Somehow this doesn’t get people excited."
And from the same article: "Perhaps he thought he was making his In Utero, and in many ways he did, but whereas Kurt Cobain wrung pathos out of apathy, experimental songs, and disgusting riffs, Cudi fails at wringing any emotion at all."
Which of course leads us to: "I really hope Kid Cudi finds some help, but as for his record, I’ve listened to Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven more than I have half of my favorite records of 2015, and can safely say that it has been one of my sincerest joys this season."
Of course, the reason I'm taking the time to share this with you all is because I abso-fucking-lutely love this album, and want to see if I really am 1 of 5. Oh, and it's grunge. Not rap, pop, hip hop, etc.

I want to know the answer to the question I asked to begin with. Does TSing/being friends with staff qualify as exemplary OOC behavior for bonus XP?
Staff has no friends, and doesn't like TSing.

RE: Would you play a MU* replacement?
@Thenomain Your pedantry is always appreciated, and you're right. I'm excited!
@EveryoneElse Thanks for the feed back! Evennia seems like a fun idea but it's not what I'm looking to do (or, more importantly, what I'm capable of doing). It looks like what I have in my head just isn't really out there, which means it might make a worthwhile project. I'm working with my dev and some DB people, talking out some ideas, creating some plans. I'll give another post here if the project gets off the ground!

RE: Would you play a MU* replacement?
@surreality My goal will be to get something going. Once I have a working thingy (technical term), I'll see about how it can be modified and integrated elsewhere. The idea would be to start with WoD, and one game loaded, but expand it out to multiple rule sets, and allow people to create their own custom games. Details on that to be determined!

... you'd need to be able to have multiple "rooms"...
Definitely.

I haven't done much else with it beyond the initial few tutorials, but this basically exists in the form of Roll20. All of the features are built into the web app, as far as I understand such things, and you can build a table with multiple "layers" that are kiiiiiind of the equivalent of rooms.
I've used Roll20 and didn't like it. There's just a lot that feels "off" and a lot that's "missing". Not to mention, the feels geared towards voice/video play, with the text components there to help. And, of course, the roller... but I find that to be a little clunky. I know my critique of it is vague, but, eh! Best I can do. Thank you, though!

Would you play a MU* replacement?
Would you play a MU* replacement?
With the soft-close of yet another WoD MU (RIP Eldritch), I've started to think about the difficulties of setting up a new WoD game here. I've also scoured the net trying to find a decent place to run a private online table top game, where most of the features built into a MU (char sheet, multiple channels, a grid, dice roller, etc) were built into a single application, and not had much luck. I know there are chat-based games, but from what I've seen the dice rolling (and other bits) happen through another medium, and isn't integrated in the same place. So, I have a question for you all... Would you play on a MU* replacement?
What I have in mind would be a webapp that is by and large a big chat window (not unlike a MU). Throw in a dice roller, character sheets, windowed (?!) channels for chats and pages, and a few other features. I happen to have a bored webdev that was trained in Ruby. I've also been professionally working in MSSQL and Oracle for years. I think between the two of us, we could scrape together something that might be palatable, but before I put any real work into this, I wanted to get some feedback. Is it the telnet MU text based lack of a GUI that feels right? Or would you all be interested in trying a new medium?
