I think it can't be overstated that there has to be a reason for people to play older PCs besides 'we want a variety of ranges because variety'. If there is a reason that the character type itself is attractive (not 'we give XP', that is not the reason staff is encouraging the older PCs, that is how they are doing the encouragement) then people will play them. I don't remember which game it was that put a brake on all PCs lower than 25 earning X or Y level of title. Suddenly we had 30somethings getting played.

ETA: To clarify I am saying this to agree with what @mietze is saying on this. Like 'yes, this is absolutely my experience and agrees with her premise'.

@RightMeow

Oh god that was hilarious. I love your character.

Updated for a character switch on Arx. I love Jennyva and the people around her (someone really should pick her up, you'd be getting a GREAT character and group of folks around you), but the looming threat of incoming CoI made me bail rather than holding onto her in a sort of 'I'm probably going to have to give her up' limbo. It was a BLAST.

Rodica is proving to be good so far, though, I am tickled pink. Everybody has been SO freaking friendly and helpful, and the character is super fun. I haven't had a PC like this in a REALLY long time, so I'm looking forward to playing her. omg I appreciate Nat's social-ness in a new way now though, let me say.

srsly tho, go Shepherd. They're good peeps.

I am really fond of having a TMI channel, if people MUST have an outlet of sorts on the game. You can go talk details of your sickness or your kinks or your politics there where everyone wants to hear the dirty little details. Then you can just go TMI TMI TMi if people start getting into non-game-related-general-chat ick territory.

ETA: My actual preference is that public/general chat be limited to GAME TALK ONLY, and all channels are things relevant to the game alone. You don't have to weigh harm or make judgment calls or have to stress about appropriateness, you just don't do non-game stuff on the game. You don't actually HAVE to have an off topic section. Is it about the game? No! Stop talking about it in a public game forum then thx.

ETA2: Personal game-related channels (for factions/orgs/families/packs/coteries/motleys/whatever) are a different story; I like engaging with the people I'm playing with directly/regularly OOC, to learn details about them and chat about lives and everything. Just not game-wide public spaces. Personal spaces good. Public spaces bad.

@ZombieGenesis

I am really looking forward to this. REALLY.

@Wretched

You can do this. Good job so far. Three weeks is a GREAT start! You're almost to the mark of building a new habit. Also, you get plenty of sympathy. Change is ducking HARD, my man. It's hard. Don't matter what it is.

We're heading into hell week. Brace for impact, be particularly kind to the people in meat space. I hope everybody has a good holiday season and stuff.

Politics thread!

@Auspice

Oh fuck those people with a rusty, running chainsaw. I have metal in me that expands and contracts with the pressure changes associated with cold weather. -.-

I am so cold! All the damn time! Aaaaaargh.

@surreality

I have a lot of coping mechanisms. As it is, my close friends and family can literally see the scar on my forehead and STILL forget that this is an issue for me. It is so ugh.

Me and my actual brain damage that causes memory issues...

Yeah, I'll just be over here in my corner not intending to be a liar.

@Kanye-Qwest

It's not the concept itself that sends me into fits. IN THEORY I love the idea. What makes me flail is the NOW NOW NOW DO IT NOW bit.

This time of year.

I am so, so, so tired. I have all these fun things I desperately want to do...

I just can't. I've been too sick this year, I can't manage, I don't have the reserves for any of it. I hate it.

I hate that I had to stand there and watch somebody else move a package today that I COULD HAVE LIFTED because I've been so fucking fragile that nobody is willing to risk me doing anything physical at all.

The worst part is is that everyone else is ducking RIGHT and it really is better for me just to stand there and watch somebody else do the work because while I can for ME it is a RISK and when you have three people standing there for whom it is NOT a risk, it's stupid to not have one of them do it. And ALSO my brain is way way way way way ahead of my ducking body in the recovery process and THE BODY NEEDS TO CATCH UP NOW THANKS.

@Testament

I mean, cool. Your post asked what they were waiting for. I understand you and I don't agree, and that's fine, but I don't think it's out of line to point out that what you are cheering for so excitedly isn't something that everyone is on board with for equally as valid reasons.

@Testament

Some of us are enjoying the current game?

ETA: I have an arc I have been working on for almost an OOC year. I'd like to finish it.

Heaven forbid we just wait and see what staff has planned given we have been repeatedly told they are working on it.

No, no, it is impossible to solve without a wipe! Do this thing!

@wahoo

I am going to disagree with this point again. No great houses are being punished. The loss of a couple of tens of thousands of silver shouldn't even be a blip on the radar. Same with the prestige loss. They are TRIVIALLY EASY when compared to the amount of work an elevation takes for the person being lifted. Inconvenienced? Sure, I'll buy that. Punished is extreme.

@wahoo

Asking how to style someone else's game, when they have said they have a plan and a solution already being worked on.
