I'll edit this and be constructive in the response. Demon jobs that take 30 days to close for XP spends didn't lead to a great experience. Asking demon specific questions that don't get answered or ignored in jobs didn't lead to a good experience. A lack of Demon side plot, which myself and crew could make but seemed like a waste do to the job situation didn't lead to a fun experience. So, instead of complaining to a deaf ear that didn't care I took a break and log in from time to time to check on my PC and to see if things change... Or ask here.

Have you tried, I dunno, putting in a job to check on those sorts of things? Because Demon jobs -are- getting answered. There are some things where an answer takes longer than others because I have to ask for information, get permission to do things, collaborate with other people. You know, the whole usual staff dance thing. But on the whole, anything that doesn't involve 'we want to do something that requires massive amounts of bookkeeping and staff handholding to the point of needing our own personal storyteller to keep up with this endeavor' get answered fairly promptly.

As for Cade and him being an asshole we'll have to agree to disagree. IC vs OOC is different and I can only think of one place where anyone could think Cade is an asshole. Myself and the other party seem to agree there was no OOC beef so other than that I think you'll need to come with specifics. If I was a problem player on the mu* I'd assume there were complaints from other players or staff but I have yet to hear of those...

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

But if that is your official staff stance based on the past and you getting fucked up here then you are close to a Spider 2.0 and I'm glad to see it come out.

My opinion of you is not my official staff anything. Your jobs, should they actually exist, get processed in just as timely a manner as everyone else's, and with equal degrees of fairness. Just because I personally think you're a prick doesn't mean I can't do my job. But by all means, compare me to Spider. I mean, you're reaching, and badly, but it's funny to watch you scramble for anything.

I stand by to listen to your crew defend your honor but all I need is a... Chance...

And suddenly I'm reminded of the time when an entire fucking channel told you and your partner to GTFO because, lo, you had already pissed off over half the sphere you were in a week out of chargen. Those were good times.

First I'll start off saying my heart hurts at your witty responses, but... I won't make you reach for any more unfounded accusations. As you know the situation with Chance and Cade was hashed out on this very forum earlier and I think everyone will agree that whatever the outcome, it is done. From my reading it would appear you were the victim and I was the aggressor. Oh wait, no that's not how it played out but no need to rehash. As for asking me to leave channel that was not the whole channel, playback the tape please.

Second we should move this to another thread that we can call: Sinister, is he the Spider 2? Or is that dude really still talking about how he was an asshole on TR and blaming it on Cade? Or maybe something along the lines of: Dude, if someone points out potential problems in a game or asks honest questions, act like a fucking adult.

Third. The question about activity and playing on Eldritch was based on conversations had elsemu* talking about activity across games in general. Two or more random people replied that they logged in and didn't see anything going on and didn't get the vibe that new characters were possible or that creating a character was worth it. So... Go ahead and keep lobbing shit with no backing no understanding and with the same skill in which I fear you do most of the nonsense you do in your life as a whole.

I wish, for just once someone that could make a difference in a game would do it just to make the game better as a whole for players. Not for pride or because they can get more hot TS with the ladies/dudes or whatever.

Demon jobs I referred to didn't just include my own and at no time did I mean to say I believed it was for any reason other than incompetence or a lack of fucks in answering them. Them being my jobs had and has no part in it as my first step was to ask my peers if their jobs were handled in such a fashion which they were.

Now... Are things different? on the game? I wouldn't know because if I ask in this format I get "Cause you are an asshole".

I asked in channel last night and it doesn't appear much has changed. Or that I'm perceived as an asshole IC or OOC from those that have been playing. But maybe I'm such an asshole they fear answering with the truth because of the repercussions I can drop on them <sarcasm>.

Lastly...

Do people still RP on Eldritch? Let me qualify that with - New player shows up and has opportunities to play with people? Old people return and they can to?

Addendum: Would I have to always play with Derp and would he always play like Chance from TR?4

People still play plenty on Eldritch. Nobody wants to play with you, though, because you have this allergy to subtlety and can't seem to avoid being an asshole to everyone you come into contact with. Kind of like every iteration of the Cade characters you make. So I expect that your experience will be largely poor wherever you go, and you're one to talk about always playing the same sorts.

But lo, I see that you're still approved and taking up a demon spot while contributing nothing. So bitch on, little rager. Bitch on.

If you connect to Fallcoast.net, Port 9999, it connects to that Lights Out MU* which wholesale lifted @Coin's game.

Is there a way I can block this since I own Fallcoast.net?

Thanks!

Unless all the MU*'s are NAT'ed from that address? Maybe the Mu*'s share a host?

I have no other horse in this race than keeping Eldritch drama-free, but I continue my belief that open is better than closed.

Siteban: Rostam                    Wed Oct 28    Thenomain
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After being asked to look into a player here by their connections to Reno and 
RtK, I have decided to remove Rostam from EldritchMUX.

The reasoning behind this concerns mainly his behavior as Rex on Reno, who was 
accused by several players of OOC emotional manipulation. After talking about 
this with Reno staff, I decided that this behavior was likely to repeat and 
asked Rostam to leave the game. He agreed.

I expect this to have some fallout off the game, if not on, so let me preface to 
say that while it was Deviant who asked me to look into this, the reason behind 
my decision was the history of drama and not any drama slap-fight that Dev and 
Rostam had on another game. They're grown men and can sulk in their rooms.

As Rostam was by his own admission involved in nothing, I don't forsee any 
issues on the game but if someone has questions or issues of any IC or OOC 
nature, please let me know. (Page or put in a Bug request. Yeah, really.)

Thanks everyone, and enjoy your day.

Sweet, now can the staff focus on making that game worth playing?

OH SNAPS SON! >.>

Clearly y'all missed the Carthian merit that lets you throw an object back at someone.

! Its all in the reflexes... !

@Derp

Well, a MU can balance things out too. If one thing over the other starts to get a bit too hefty, you can always incentivize people to make different stuff. It might not attract a huge flock of folks, but you'd at least get some. That way you don't have to outright prevent someone from playing what they want, but you can at least offer shinies to play something -else-.

Do the people actually play though? Or is that just the numbers?

Whhhhhaaaaaaaaaaat?!? No BTiLC?!

@ThatOneDude That's an awful idea for Evennia, because it's much like giving every character on a MU a wizbit.

I was being sarcastic (which doesn't translate well in text) from reading the previous posts in the thread. It read like listening to people I work with complain about versioning control. We have git set up internally within our network and use it as a repository and to assist with version control, works great.

If the fear is owner only can do "things", couldn't you just give rights to the code folder? Let people dump their shit code right in and run like the wild west?

@Griatch Thanks

Right after I posted that I found the site and got things up and running in no time on my mac... I have to say already this looks pretty badass.

I like it... This could open the door for a whole new set of programers.

Was there a link to the code to check out that I missed or does this fall into the realm of:

Eh. I have to disagree, here. While yes, you have certain affinities that make certain things come easier to you, there is nothing preventing you from buying other things as well. Short of the Moon Gifts, any werewolf can buy anything, and once it's unlocked, adding facets is all the same price, assuming you have the relevant renown.

Moon Gifts make a world of difference, but I'll concede that the other Gifts can be purchased at a higher cost. So, you can make a combat-ready Elodoth, but the system stacks it so it's easier to be the negotiator/judge.

Ganymede - I think you had the right of it before when you used the rahu as an example. Its like in the military if you're in a mortar team you wouldn't be surprised to here someone yell, "Put that fucking book away and go blow something up!" I think the perception from other PCs/NPCs would be much the same as well but it doesn't mean you as a player need to conform to those ideals and the system supports that.

For me I thought and think the upgrade is cool, to everyone else wigging out...

@Miss-Demeanor I wonder if they are just going for something like this:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491

Would seem to be the next logical step.

@Lithium I have a buddy with a grandfathered plan that gets new phones all the time (Currently he has the latest iPhone). He said the secret is you buy the phone outright , which I think he does through apple direct and then transfers service to it.

@Apollonius I have T-mobile's unlimited dataplan and its WIN. I stream Apple Music all day via iTunes on my iPhone and haven't had issues yet with throttled speeds or anything like that. Connectivity for me is great but I'm in Los Angles so it could be a different experience with coverage.

I know I had sprint and the unlimited plan but I never got connectivity anywhere so it felt like a huge con. Unlimited bandwidth that you can never get to!

AND! I use my iPhone to sync with my MacBook and sometimes use airplay to watch either on my TV via my AppleTV... <--- iLemming FTW
