The thing with the 100 is... almost none of these people are strangers. Now they don't all know eachother great, but they aren't strangers. You're new to the game, but your character has been around for the last two weeks, everyone probably knows his or her name, some details. Depending on how long they were boxed, they might know more.

I tend to have my character assume a certain familiarity with new people, and just try to work them in as if we at least passingly know eachother. No one's a stranger here.

So are you being extra nice OOC to make sure the players involved are ok with your antagonism?

Yes. He is.

Good to see you're still kicking around, man.

I am very much enjoying this game. Two thumbs up.

Or you could just tag the <OOC> at the end.

I don't know to what extent it's been done before or not, but this is the first mud I've ever heard of that sounds like something I'd like. I'd play the shit out of something like this.

I fixed a laptop! Whoo.

As an approval staffer I use the bg for two things. One in particular is important here, and core memories instead would be just fine for both, I think.

Do they understand/demonstrate understanding of both the setting AND their character as they have them sheeted? I staff somewhere with a pretty obscure theme, and it is really important to make sure particular concepts get particular aspects of it. Otherwise shit goes to pieces.

I do also use it to gatekeep on stats -- does the history match the sheet? That's also part of understanding what the character is as presented.

Wow. This stuff is awesome.

@Vorpal

I'm sorry.

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.

Thank you!

@Glitch

How do we tell if we have verified?

What @Ganymede said. I'm not sure how this is catering or making it difficult to freely discuss things. Oh no, you have to choose to see it? Where is the problem?

Shouldn't use "text message talk" if the abbreviations/words don't make sense...

Wait until you read it in e-mail correspondence from opposing counsel.

froths, twitches

I used to work in state government in the public works area, doing grant administration and stuff. I once sent a very official, formal document to a Mayor, and got 'thx' as a reply. For a formal document.

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.

@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.

@Lotherio

Oh, don't wait for me. I mull things over for forever. Just considering how the community could do more of a hybrid between OTT games and your typical persistent-world mush.

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

This thread has given me ideas. I need to mull them over before I start spewing words, though.

@Arkandel Well, that's because it really was only the names that changed, in most of those cases. I agree, though. To a certain extent. The behaviors of the groups in question (and yes, there were more than one of these damn groups) was absolutely destructive, even if it wasn't malevolent (In some of those cases, yes, it /was/ malevolent: see Spider and co.). It was a problem, again and again. So I can see why folks would be shy about it, even if we don't really have these cliques making their rounds any more. People are still worried about Them showing up, or this or that group proving to be like them.
