I'm not going to sit and tell a kid that their parents are wrong and that they shouldn't believe them.

And if you did you'd be disciplined by your employer (most likely), AND the kid isn't going to believe it, anyway.

I think that players have no business taking away the agency of other players.

What of the agency of Ingrid's player to play Ingrid as she was designed? Isn't that being taken away by Sam's deliberate evasion?

Nope! Sam isn't making any decisions for Ingrid.

This is where I point out that the PC I play most heavily's IC husband pretty much doesn't play any more, and hasn't in months and months. I know that it's entirely possible to continue things along without messing up anything for the other player, because I do it. Have been doing it. If it got untenable, I'd ask Staff to step in, not just declare that the husband has decided to start avoiding her / has vanished / etc, because that's not my job.

Edited: If Sam is avoiding her OOC, that's an OOC issue, and staff needs to get involved. If he's actually avoiding her ICly, then he should say so, and that can be handled ICly. If it's an IC avoid that he won't say exists OOC, then staff needs to get involved because that too is an OOC problem.

Asking somebody who wants "total" and "amount" on the same spreadsheet what the difference is between the two columns, and getting the word "amount" as the bulk of the total definition and "total" for the bulk of the amount definition.

THAT IS NOT HELPFUL, BRENDA.

(eta: think like, 'the amount is the total paid, and the total is the amount we paid')

I'm really not against things being resolved. I think that when the time comes, staff needs to be the one that takes away player agency, not another player. If you can, make a choice that does not take away their agency. If you cant, get with staff. That's it. I do not believe that a player should have the right to make ooc decisions for somebody else's PC.

I'm sure as hell not advocating remaining screwed.

• Do not have players write up the wiki entry on their own family/house/country or whatever. They will inevitably end up being super awesome at everything with a token flaw.

This one really jumped out at me. If you don't let the players do it, then you're going to have to do it all (something I've run into with my own game, and the scope of the houses I need is very limited in comparison to this). Especially given the 'they will inevitably' -- that's not actually true, and also solvable with an approval system for the houses, too.

Yeah, it's absolutely a PNW thing rather than Portland. Mutter.

Scion is good in tabletop but I don't think it works great as a mush.

Thank you to those of you who have more patience than I do for explaining why 'not all men' is so offensive and frustrating. This is why I don't have these conversations even with people I know and like; some pretty nasty hurtful stuff gets said, and I just don't have the energy to keep up an argument about it anymore.

@Bennie said in Something similar to WoD, but not quite:

Screw it. Stargate MUSH. The new wormhole only goes to an Urban Fantasy address. Worlds forever linked. One normal, one very similar... with monsters.

THIS WOULD BE SO AWESOME AMG.

I want a Stargate mush. There was one once upon a time, but I don't know how long it lasted or anything, I tried to play there when I was stupid-young and didn't really know wtf I was doing.

Normal world + world similar but with monsters = complete win. Like I do not have words for how awesome that would be to play.

@Ninjakitten said it.

Thank you.

I love the idea of the shortdesc descriptions being all in a list just like players and objects do now on some games, for public exits only. So like, grid square exits and the diner. That's super useful. Then you could have a command that displays the same thing for ALL exits, including private ones. I think that would address all concerns.

It is so tasty. So, so tasty.

I play at KD and I'm also creating on The 100.

Where is the outrage for me and my daughter?! Only Sunny cares that we are going to die of cancer (but she is going to die first so I can watch, apparently).

1 like = 1 prayer

Not just you, man. I felt compelled to downvote, too. My kid is up on the chopping block.

@ixokai said in Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning:

I don't know about that. I know more then a few people who MUSH on only MUX or Penn and the idea of playing the other is almost unthinkable, so thrown are they by the relatively minor differences (compared to, say, muds vs mushes) between the servers...

Bah. Just because I throw a fit doesn't mean I won't actually play on these other things.

This game sounds pretty much awesome and I will try it, though heavily coded isn't generally my cup of tea.

My work is lousy with Pokemon and the pokestops. It's pretty neat, I have to say.

Why do we, as mushers, tend to stick with a tabletop model, rather than addressing these challenges like a LARP? It seems to me that there is actually more in common between a mush and a LARP than tabletop.

They pulled the data from Ingress, which did portals based on user submissions.

As for KD... Nggggh.... I can never ever go back ever. x.x I'm the world's biggest flake and Skaldia probably hates me. But yes there was plenty of really interesting RP that had nothing to do with TS going on there.

You could come back. Skaldia doesn't hate anyone, and certainly not just cos of a few flakes. We have several people who have left and come back and left and come back again. Sooooo. If that's the only reason you're staying away, don't. If there are other reasons no big deal, but don't worry about that one.
