His player joined the Navy and he kind of dropped out of gaming because of his training and then constantly being at sea. He's well, living the dream (as they say in the RAN), but unlikely to ever return to online RP whilst sailing the seven seas.

@sonder Also, @Thenomain did a nice Jobs to SQL, which is here: https://github.com/thenomain/Mu--Support-Systems/blob/master/SQL Job Archives.txt

It's not jobs to forum, but it is a nice, efficient archive. I just don't know that the commands to pull from the archive was finished. Considering that page looks like it has my janky sql statements on it, I'm guessing not! But even then, once you get it installed, not hard to tweak a little further (and I'll be writing the code to make it work better eventually, anyways).

Mummy, is very, incredibly unlikely to happen.

We are looking into adding other splats after launch, if we can allocate the resources for them, namely Promethean is a possibility, as well as Skinchangers and maybe others.

As for Mummy itself, I have yet to read or hear anything that makes me think they would mix well on a MU. This could be my ignorance and maybe down the line someone will convince me, but they will 100% not be there at launch.

We will have Mage and Geist if people are feeling OP. ❤

Sounds good. If you'd like PM me with the game address, I'd be happy to help out. Mage is my favorite sphere, just needs enough staffers to handle the sheer amount of jobs that often go along with it.

@buttercup I mean, the Sheriff that had hassled him and his friends that one night? He's not interested in solving it.

Kids everywhere can be brutal. Groupthink and all. I know there are places it's /better/ but.. -shrug-

Probably better advice for a Windows user is to just get xVM VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/ and install linux on it so you actually run your server stuff in a virtual environment on your Windows desktop. This converts your linux box to an application that you start just like any other application in Windows, and you can stick a shortcut to the vbox definition into your Start Menu->Programs->Startup folder to make the linux box start up along with your Windows box. Totally free.

Just make sure you tell vBox to use a "bridged network adapter" when you're creating the original machine, so the linux box can have its own unique IP Address instead of sharing one with the host OS, and enable virtualization extensions only if your CPU supports them.

After that you can install linux and make vBox take a "snapshot" so if you muck anything up you can roll back to that and start over again. Then you get your lamp stack working right, take another "snapshot" before you start trying to install addons like your wiki or bb, so you can roll back if you break something. vBox is a great little tool.

Edit: Forgot to mention that with this setup you can install samba to configure filesharing between Windows and Linux, then as long as your samba user/password matches your Windows user/password you'll be able to access any shares you define through Network->SystemIP->FolderName just like it was any other Windows box with filesharing enabled.

@Thenomain Back in the day, X-Men: End Times (XET) also had a sort of 'RP Oscars' and I always thought they were a blast.

Nominating for them also meant people went back and reviewed the last year's logs, which is always kinda cool.

omfg it's a @bladesurfer. 😮

@Bobotron said in Plots for Spheres:

A willingness to integrate personal plot/goals into larger, long-term plots IF they fit. Steal that shit from the players whose ideas are better than yours.

This.

@Rucket said in Visit Fallcoast, sponsored by the Fallcoast Chamber of Commerce:

So what's the word on The Reach 3: The Reach Around? Curious because I was listening to some 80s tunes earlier.

I found a way to travel back in time solely to announce that The Reach 3 would be opening soon as of 2011.

Oh goodness. You're right! I can't keep up with this shit.

And this is why I stick to SimpleMU. It gives you a text box that lets you add multiples of specific text that you want to spawn into a single window from the same spawn setup. >.>

@Wretched

Your face has always been the meanest. Your mom said so.

You also might want to check if all the Mu*s are using the same database. From inside the game, type (and be prepared for spam from):

think sql( show tables )

You should get 51 wiki tables and whatever else you use. If you get more than, say, 60 tables, you're sharing a database.

I don't know anyone on Third Hosting to check this out, but I bet you're fine there. MUSHPark is not to be trusted, as this is the hosting service I discovered this on.

Again, this isn't the fault of any other game, but something to keep an eye out for.
