More terrible video games.
Yes, please, god, take me now, oh baby, do me right, zzzz.
If you meant my post of Deadpool I was trying to say in the form of a picture PCs that are fun and exciting but:
Maybe something more along the lines of a character that doesn't have to take him/herself so serious, has fun, gets in on the action and can laugh about getting his/her asskicked.
Or you know you could always go with the cliché dude playing a chick thing...
Mmmmmmm, I love Mu*'s with PVP aspects. For me I love it even if I'm the underdog. Nothing makes things interesting like if you talk shit in court as a vampire you could find yourself getting your teeth kicked in when you step outside.

The more people use the issues tab on github, the more I can fix things.
Just recently got Exalted 3e cleaned up. Haven't had any reason to touch Chronicles of Darkness/nWoD 2e yet due to the main game that uses it seemingly being happy with it how it is.
Also still in the midst of making it Rhost compatible.
+district code has a few minor issues... I need to really re-think of how to handle delegated building. It is the one thing that the system is not terribly good at.
Also yes, MySQL.
You just need to make a Fate addition so almost any game can be stood up 
I miss playing in RP that just has action and excitement. I also miss that part of being a player without a look behind the curtain on every game I play on. To clarify I get the sandbox games and the make your own fun situations but I miss the times when I was a player and I didn't know shit about what was going to happen in the story. Go to events, get involved with the meta of a game, RP with other players about those events and that on going story.
With that I miss even picking up some of the slack and running scenes to push plot but I think the big thing I miss in most games I play is that "plot" element. Now, if you feel like replying with something like "Make your own fun!" I want you to A: Look at games like Reno and Eldritch and then think if it really is a sustainable idea for a game to use. I get it in the short term but there comes a point where shit will just fizzle out.
What about all of @Volund 's code? I swear he had something for Penn that was everything you'd need to stand up a game. I think he did the same for that other / newer code base as well right?
edit: like this right here https://github.com/volundmush/mushcode/tree/master/storyteller/nwod2
I'm down if there will be things to do. There isn't much worse than spending that time to create a PC and to try to get involved just to be left roleplaying out the following:

Also, what, you may ask, is a Sympathetic Monster? It is a homebrew Supernatural Merit!
Sympathetic Monster (1-5 dots)
Effect:Your character has a friend, family member, or other associate who, in general is fairly kind to them. Along with the Storyteller, you can design a creature with up to one Dread Power or dot of Potency for each point invested in this merit. This creature is not a retainer, but will be available to assist the character when relevant, usually in plots. Storytellers should be inclusive of Sympathetic Monsters where reasonable.Drawback: The more powerful the creature, however, the more likely it is to betray you. Once per week, staff will roll a dice pool equal to your Integrity minus the dots in this merit. On a failured roll, the Monster grows more powerful, granting a temporary dot in this merit, but the monster's actions result in an immediate need for a Breaking Point roll. Furthermore, Sympathetic Monsters over 2 dots gain a Bane and other characters may react poorly to those who are chummy with their vampire sister.
Once per week staff will roll dice? Will this be based on a job entered by the player?
Never forget your tank. Then there is no fear of death...

And lo, there came an update!
The BITN Experience Philosophy
The purpose of XP is to allow for the growth of a player character, as well as to provide an incentive for participation in the game. Character growth should be steady and roughly equate to the activity of a character in regards to participation in plots and utilization of game mechanics designed to provide experience. Experiences should allow a character to grow in their abilities, not be a necessity for them to be effective.
As such, Experience gain shall be minimal but also relatively unimpeded. There shall be 4 ways to gain experience on BITN
Approved player characters will gain 1 beat every day
Through the methods outlined on page 76 of Chronicles of Darkness, excluding end of session, and any other gains as directed per the rules
Through participation and running of plots
As rewarded by staff for exemplary OOC behavior or as a game wide reward
Advancement
Players may spend their character’s experience as follows: Any trait may be raised without justification, though no trait may be raised more than once very week (7 days). Certain stats, notably Status and Mystery Cult Initiation, may require a successful vote. All stats begin at their lowest possible level (usually 1, but some merits are exceptions).
Any trait may be raised without justification, though no trait may be raised more than once very week (7 days).
That should read: "once EVERY week" I believe

The little sociopathic dick in my son's first grade class. I tried having empathy for him (perhaps he's got some behavioral issues or extenuating circumstances that cause him to try to stab other kids or shove them into walls), but then I saw that his non-handicapped mother parked her car every day in the handicapped lot at school. The one with signs posted stating that it is not a drop off/pick up spot, and that it is reserved for handicapped people and our crossing guards. And that she got pissed when she got caught by city parking enforcement. Because that shit just don't apply to her entitled self.
Guess where your dick kid learned his dick behavior from, lady? And the next time he undermines my parenting with my kid ('you mom said not to throw ice? well, lets just go to the hidden doorway and do it!') you will have yet another parent reporting him to the administration.
That reminded me of the following
@tragedyjones said:
As per my usual, I will primarily focus on Chronicles of Darkness (formerly nWoD) in this, but I believe this can be applied to many games.
So you have a game. You put a lot of work into it. You build a theme you feel is awesome, and reflects how the game world should be.
Then you have a player who fucks it all up. Maybe they are just reckless, a Vampire who is shitting all over the masquerade. Or a Mage who is just cruising through life in an invisible car. Or a werewolf who is betraying his pack to every dick slinging stud they meet. WHATEVER.
So there are various ways this could be dealt with, and I am sure there are people who would bitch about whatever.
Ignoring it may or may not be feasible, depending on how private the behavior is. This is especially easy if it is kept so secretive that no one finds out. And probably the best choice there.
Another option is to try and discuss it with the player rationally and maturely OOC. Maybe offer an alternative.
The other extreme is to have the IC world react, via NPCs and/or encouraged PCs. If someone is being blatantly stupid, maybe they are spoken to or given a punishment for their actions.
What is fair? Is fair important?
If someone IC breaks IC rules then they get IC consequences. Seems pretty simple to answer.
If I act a fool and smack a cop, would I be shocked to wake up in jail? Not really nor should anyone in game assume they can do something that is against the rules/society norms and not be punished.
I will say I love these people btw, cause then I get to kill them.
@Cirno said:
So what is the thread "Cirno's Trolling" about? Cause, like, if it's about a plan to ban me in the near future, I can just leave the forum and save everyone the fuss. Just saying. I have left under my own volition before, it's totes not a big deal.
I reasonably doubt it's a thread where people gather round to laugh at my foibles, and I've been through this before on the old place.
IDK, but I wouldn't worry. FUCK'EM
@BigDaddyAmin said:
So who is the nigger on the nag who keeps down voting Cirno? Seriously. This is some fuccboi behavior here.
No really, in all seriousness. Is there a way we can see who downvotes who?
I think its not a huge deal. Look at the type of people that are praised vs downed and tell me if we believe it makes any kind of sense
I'd be curious if people would still down vote in the way they do if their name appeared as one that down
voted though.
