what are the drawbacks to Pennmush?
That horrible, insane channel system.
... Pretty much nothing else. Penn is otherwise equal to most players, but speaking as a player, man that channel system is grotesque.

This begs the question (modern definition): What about the theme do you adore? oWoD's theme could be all over the place, and each game line rather had their own.
@faraday said in Marvel: 1963 (Lookin for a Coder):
Can't quite understand those who pass up games just because the channel system irritates them, but I guess everyone's entitled to their pet peeves.
Because in some people's workflow, this is a big deal, which is why I mentioned how WoD seems to rely on channels. I don't drive manual transmission because I don't know how. I could learn, but it would be more than just a peeve to do so, so I avoid cars with a manual transmission. No slight against them, but holy crap would it be a disaster for me and mostly a waste of my time.
Perspective. As it changes, so does everything you do.
@Seraphim73 said in Eliminating social stats:
@SG I... have actually considered this. I decided against it in the end, but I did consider it, because I thought it would be a fun test (and then realized that it would be a nightmare to play, and would probably give @faraday hives at a distance to see FS3 being used for hard social combat).
Hey, at least you'd be doing it in an FS3 way. @faraday can't fault you for that, can she?
Can she?!
I find that there are three kinds of metaposes.
Information that clarifies, prose that prettifies, and personal attacks. The first is desired, and I think will be pretty clearly okay to act on if you believe your character has that kind of perception or gives a damn. The second I think is superfluous but, like the word "superfluous", is a bit overmuch and I can do with or without it; this kind is not to be acted on, because it's fluff. Unless you're into fluff.
The third should be acted on as OOCly as politely as possible, asking the metaposer if they really meant to pose that and giving them a chance to back down before you tell them to cut it out.

Also a pillow. My kingdom for a pillow.
It's a small kingdom, but I will settle for a small pillow.
But in your kingdom, where would I buy a pillow? The workers seized the means of production.

@arkandel said in What's out there now and what has been attempted? A codebase discussion.:
Even if someone doesn't want a specific feature it'd be nice if it was possible to even consider it.
Which is why designing by committee is usually such a clusterfuck, especially when people talk down perfectly valid features. Everyone has their fan favorites, but I’m having a hard time taking this thread as a commons of ideas because of it.

That doesn’t mean I don’t keep having ideas. Something you said made me think:
I’m surprised that nobody has really looked at Discord (Skype, et al.) as a good model. Not just good, but amazing model. Faraday also mentioned being able to append to poses in a logger, and your mention of quick edits, well we’ve had things that validly do this. What we would need, tho, is a new generation of clients.
It would be a hard sell for the lifers, but I still think it’s a vastly superior model.
I blame the Scopes Monkey Trials. Someone has been trying to disprove science in attempt to salvage their belief system since.

You're annoying me because you face is stupid. Shut up.
Also, get me a pillow. I want to sleep. Fuck the world.
Also also, I never said you had to buy it, and even if I had, seizing the means of production doesn't actually mean you stop being able to buy pillows, it would just mean that the profits go to the workers instead of an exploitative capitalist / bougeoise owner of a pillow making factory.
Well whose money paid for the effort of building your precious pillows? Yours? Hah! I think not!
Here's your pillow, Hippie, now go back to sleep.

Well here's what I both love and hate about Changeling:
Characters and situations write themselves.
What World of Darkness is (and always has been) particularly bad about, though, is they set up these situations and effectively make the characters superhero in relative power level and power variety and doesn't match the system to the theme they're trying to invoke.
This is kind of a known issue with most "do whatever you want" game systems. Eclipse Phase is amazing at escaping it and drenching every part of the system in the theme it wants. It's not my kind of system, but I appreciate it for what it does.
Anyhow, that Changeling attracts abuse addicts is about as surprising as Werewolf attracting steroid freaks or Vampire attracting control freaks or Mage attracting rules lawyers, etc. etc. It's another issue of not wanting to associate with a group because of the most negative of its fanbase.
Sometimes ya just gotta latch on and ignore the negativity because you're having fun.
--
addendum: I think the Chronicles of Darkness line is genuinely trying to resolve this. Mage is no longer a rules lawyer's wet dream, and I'm hoping Changeling does the same thing tho from what I've seen so far it looks kind of gentrified (no pun intended) and bland.

I lied; some pun was intended.

Bonus points if you learn how to use ‘screen’.
@Thenomain said in Gamertags:
Thenomain.
Why did you think you had to ask?
edit: Except for Nvidia for automated driver downloads, where my gamer tag is: IHateForcedOptInSystems
I do.
Yeah, I really dislike the nVidia software for that. Still not as bad as Razer's software but it's getting there.
I had a pair of Corsair headphones with colors, and the tool to alter the pattern and colors and things was unbelievably bad, bloated, confusing, etc. I can, even with that, imagine that Razer is still worse. They had the curse of being the big name at the start of new age of gaming hardware, and I can imagine they were managed to death. Death by over eager management, a sad way to go.
@Tinuviel said in The Apology Thread:
Is this a totally mage-centric issue, or more an issue regarding the instant escalation of any conflict to murder-death-kill?
I believe that it's an issue of people using the game to its best statistical advantage. After all, that's what you do in games, right? But you got it right; nobody wants to play with a Sherlock Holmes in the middle of their CSI.

You shut your mouth! DFRPG is a proper Urban Fantasy game.
I have updated the installer to be more like my other Mushcode installers. (i.e., the dbref is on your personage.
