You say this as if I care about anything but wanting to play on your game RIGHT NOW.

(Hooray, art shows! I hope they went well.)

@surreality

Why are you spending time posting! WORK ON IT, WOMAN. >.>

(I am looking forward to seeing your ideas come to fruition. A lot.)

@Hexagon

I was just answering the question that was asked. I was very intentional in not offering how I personally feel about it.

I will just say that after we left the fishtank stage, I did not miss it. I don't miss it. I miss 3-4 pretty regularly, but the screaming...no, no, I do not miss the screaming.

I have seen it used and implemented well in ages past, but it's been many years. There was a general cultural shift away from letting people spy OOCly due to the ability to spy ICly, and the tools that were built to that specific purpose started seeing considerably less use. It may be used out there somewhere presently, but I am unaware of it.

Grab pulls an attribute you have access to from an object on game into your input window.

So I could /grab me/desc and have my input window populated with my desc, and the @decompile would not appear on my screen.

VenusMUSH!!!

I admit it. I got weepy.

Jerk. Onions. Goodness. That was more than a little sniffle.

Arx, yup. It fits your criteria.

@Auspice

I am so happy for you both.

@Packrat

I think this behavior is as inappropriate as what he is accused of, personally. Kind of gross, tbh. Two wrongs don't make a right. I very much think that any issues here can and will be resolved by good staffing without people taking things into their own hands like this.

I second @saosmash. I have full faith in staff there, and I am saying that even with having been burned so fucking badly recently elsewhere. These guys have their shit together, and I have zero reservations.

@Cupcake

Take the risk. Pay attention. If at any point you become uncomfortable or uncertain about the appropriateness of his behavior, let Hellfrog know immediately. Do not, under any circumstances, let anything iffy slide. Don't hold it against him or develop a grudge, don't change your own appropriate behavior, just deal with it promptly and efficiently. If he crosses lines, he will be corrected, and if he cannot be corrected and does not learn that inappropriate behavior will not fly (I do believe that he will learn what he can get away with, if nothing else, and will stay within the boundaries of appropriate behavior) I am positive that staff will take the appropriate, reasonable actions to remedy the situation. My own situation was resolved immediately, and his friendliness and willingness to work with me did not change.

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

Well, shitballs.

Thrax and any non-tainted future it had just went to hell and that is entirely a shame.

Max = Custodius = Flee

I was loving the game, too.

My experience with the situation so far gives me complete faith that staff will handle any problems very promptly and appropriately. Idk about other games, but on Arx I do not believe that he will be an issue.

@mietze Exactly!

I think I misspoke, really. Logically, I understand -- and did, as to the question I put forth. Emotionally, it doesn't matter how much people explain it, it baffles me. I'm not saying it's the wrong thing to do, or the wrong way to behave, or anything along those lines. What I am saying is that I do care about the people on the other side of the screen. @Ganymede (I pick on you because the comparison between our approaches is so dramatically different) has always been very private, and that has not kept me from being emotionally invested there. Because I am who I am, and I do not -- can not -- see caring about people I spend time with, virtually or not, as a bad thing. Me caring about other human beings just isn't a bad thing.

I choose to be pretty damn open about a lot of things, and it has certainly caused me a considerable amount of pain over the years. Buuuuut I have that problem in the meat world, too.

ETA: I should also add because otherwise I'm sure it's going to come up: I know damn well most folks don't care about me as much as I do them. That is something I have had to deal with in my life since I was probably 4 or 5 years old. It's not new, and it's not unique to online.

I will, I will! For sure. Both of y'all are added to my watch, I'll squawk when I'm not totally distracted by stuff.

@Gilette

Gaming is a social activity to me. The whole point of this for me is enjoying it with other people. Otherwise I'd be off writing a novel. I spend a hell of a lot of time with some of these folks, it seems strange to me that we wouldn't be friends. I recognize that other people have different approaches (see: Gany and I having VERY different views on this) though, and thus I don't try to force it on anyone. But 'friends first, game second' on a person to person level? That doesn't seem strange to me. I approach tabletop that way, and my guild on WoW, and every other gaming-related thing I do that's not playing a single player game. But seriously, while I recognize that others have different approaches, I can't quite wrap my brain around it all the same. Why would anyone spend so much time with people that they aren't friends with? It's a foreign mindset to me.

@Ganymede

You intimidate the drama away with all your lawbot speak. But more seriously, yes. I think that much of the reason you see far less of the garbage that I do is that you don't wade out into the bullshit -- and more importantly, you keep a healthy distance from people as your general rule. I get emotionally invested in people pretty easily, and some of my buttons are easily pushed. I'm not QUITE as easy to troll as I used to be, but it's definitely still a thing. ^^

Also, thank you for the compliment. It means a great deal to me coming from you. I've an enormous amount of respect for you in addition to adoring you to pieces, so. Yeah. Thanks.

That is amazing. It has been so long!!!
