@lithium
I left out a portion of the sentence, I meant games with policies about reverse-searchable to NSFW stuff (I think the Shadowhunter game had a policy like that?).

omgwtfbbq. what. seriously? There are games that have this type of policy? This is one of the most ridiculous things I have heard of as a game policy for a while.

Why am I awake? It’s 4am. I have no power.

The benefit I see as to making clothes and the like actually do things is that it's incentive for us to buy things from crafters and it helps keep the economy moving. If there isn't things to spend money on that actually do things, the money becomes pointless.

Watching someone take the word of a known liar and crow all over about how it makes them morally superior for doing so. It’s irritating now, but my god it will be satisfying to watch it explode later.

Oh no, of COURSE this time is different. They’d never lie to YOU. Those other people just (insert excuse of the week here).

ETA: Whups, wrong reply button.

@lisse24 I don't understand your position. If you're happy to dump funds into lifestyle to achieve the same ends, why is someone else having the option a problem?

@nyctophiliac

All of them. Just to be sure. Then the other two will work as your little enforcers if the third one tries to do it again.

You know what my answer is! Buffybuffybuffy. I might even be mushing again by the time you're done. ^^

@SinCerely

I don’t want them to be valid I want them to be gone. I appreciate the supportiveness though, thank you very much.

'If you aren't here at start, you can't automagically join the scene. If you would like an exception to this, you may explain briefly to the staffer running the scene why said exception should be made. As with other rule challenges and issues, the answer they give you is final. If you wish to appeal, you can do so after the conclusion of the scene, via an appeal to headstaff, as you would do with any other rule issues.'

Removes the possibility for the posse coming from every corner of the galaxy, but allows for 'hey I live in this damn house and haven't been anywhere else in a week' still.

ETA: Some issues you cannot solve with more rules, and instead have to solve with a combination of communication and judgment.

@Auspice

I don’t really care why someone is reassuring someone else that I’m the one that’s going to die. There is such a thing as expecting unreasonable amounts of understanding, and this is definitely over that line. Besides the fact that no, you are incorrect in your assumption of what the reasoning is, not all the conversations I have actually overheard (amazing, my peeve actually gasp happened directly to me) had anything to do with stockpiling. So no.

ETA: I am allowed to be pissed off that people are saying this shit. What the fuck with encouraging understanding of ‘it’s okay you are going to die’? I am allowed to take up space.

@roz

They were community hub places. IGU was a forum like this one, but moderated heavily and kept focused on positive things. Idealistic Gamers Unite. STC was Storyteller's Circle, and OGR was Online Gaming Resource, which was created because STC started allowing nasty/negative crap and was focused primarily on WoD. OGR also had Electric Soup attached to or associated with it for a while, which was a website that had the articles / talks / forums. Again, heavily moderated and curated. Both OGR and STC had embassies and code support for OTT games.

@Seamus

Yikes. So you've read all that, and you're saying 'marginally worse than the flu' still.

Yikes.

@sunny I just wish I could upvote that more than once. Characters = / = players. I don't care what your kinks are, you don't know what mine are . . . !

AND I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW.

god I do not want to know.

@lithium said in Let's talk about TS.:

I don't want to know kinks. I do however want to know /limits/ and /squicks/ because I don't want to ruin what could be a fun RP for someone.

This hobby is mutually creative, mutually constructive, and should be mutually enjoyable.

In that respect I /want/ to know what the other player doesn't like. What terminology. What acts. What anything so that everyone can have the most fun as possible.

Of course the characters are /still/ the characters and will like what /they/ like, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about it and lay down some boundaries.

I'm just not on board with this. We (general we!) don't have these kinds of conversations for all the other sorts of RP that we engage in. I'm not interested in having it about the sex. It is incredibly uncomfortable for me when I express that I do not want to discuss this stuff in detail, I just want to play my character, and the person I am playing with pushes. Wanting to know details about my sexual preferences so you (general you) can make the scene more fun for me when you don't do that for any sort of other rp...that IS my squick.

ETA: @Arkandel Sure! Like that. Zooooooooom.

@HelloProject

Take whatever time you need. Hobby will still be here. Thank you for taking care of yourself.

I am not advocating in any way that people not communicate this stuff. What I am saying is that I should be able to get the respect of having my own preference accepted. I don't want to bring players in. I have no limits beyond 'keep it in character'. Once I have said that, once I have expressed that I am not going to get squicked or whatever due to the nature of the RP, I should not have to continually repeat myself.

@Lotherio

It's freaking magic to pull off something like that. WELL DONE.

@tinuviel said in Let's talk about TS.:

@sunny That's plenty detailed! Just not intimate, because I FTB on policy talk.

You make it very hard to stay constructive sometimes.
