Somehow I feel like switching antivirus is less onerous a task than switching operating systems.
Then you haven't really dealt with McAfee.
(I have no idea if you have or haven't, but it was funny.)

RE: Favorite Minigames
MMOs exist because of MUD, which exists because of Adventure!, which exists because of Colossal Cave which exists because of Zork.
In the end, all things online are Zork.

@thenomain The stock market is not hard to game-ify. Many board games have done it. It's just a really big auction house. People are selling X at Y price and other people are buying A at B price. Once these people meet and agree to Z price, that sets the new value of the stock. That is a very simplified version, but a MU* only needs a simplified version.
And for all that's holy, try to code it so that a group of people can't nerf the system by cornering the market in attempts to sell 'a common rock' for like 10k a pop?
Are you telling me what Enron did was wrong? Because it was legal, and that’s all that was important.

RE: A Game of Thrones MUX Discussion
Green Ronin has been active in not making it easy to get ahold of their rulesets; as a level of curiosity, how would you educate people in how to play the game?

If it's too offensive for Trump to say, then I'm likely going to ban it on obnoxiousness grounds.
Troll will always out itself.
Yeah, that kind of cements it.
I would like to bounce off this a bit: I know we have a few conservatives on this board who feel overwhelmed by the angry socially liberal view of many of the posters here. We know that this is not you. It doesn't take a sociology degree to see where "I disagree" becomes poisonous, and I honestly find hate from either side to be antisocial and part of the problem.
And that's it. The hate. Framing anyone else's "I disagree" into hate is just as much of a problem, and anyone being afraid to say what's on our mind because that framing (mostly) respectful disagreement as hate-speech is our new normal is the problem.
This is an apolitical statement, unless trying to find cohesion within a community is political.

Please don't call me a troll. And please don't call me "it."
After your recent posts, I find it difficult to believe that this is a sincere request.

Here's my $5.
Sorry not enough. The Federal government is going to need about $10500 from each of us.
Would you prefer the installment plan or debtors prison?(Man, when we get the briefest hint of "Return To WORA" it comes crashing back in waves, doesn't it.)

Or...
Or........
Just don't ask.
That depends. To you want to indirectly engage Nymeria, or do you want to ignore her and pretend she doesn't exist? One of these ways gets you potential permission from the RPG company as well and gives you the opportunity to use the alternate later on. The other way doesn't and gives more power to someone you don't like.

Calling people trolls and "it" is decidedly dehumanizing, and I sincerely do not appreciate it.

Pro-LGBT space marines are, dare I say it, a retarded idea.
You have to live up to the persona you build. The only way out of it is not be the person you don't want people to see. If you don't care, then put me on ignore and so be it, or just don't reply. I'm just one person. People who've ignored my disagreeing with them are better for it.

RE: Um...What?
@Bad-at-Lurking said in Um...What?:
It's like what would happen if somebody had asked Jack Kirby to design a gaming PC. Right down to the weirdly elaborate bends on the piping.
Now I'm imagining a zombie designing a gaming PC.

RE: A Game of Thrones MUX Discussion
The “or I’d lose copyright” excuse was constructed whole cloth from this discussion, not attributed to any author. The statement is just a much supposition as many things said here. If this part is taken out, which I think is a very reasonable thing to do, then it’s about as offensive as saying that you have to clean your room because you’re the mom, not because you want to.
That’s why I think this conversation has gotten, in a word, silly. We were reacting to things before knowing the reality of them.

RE: Miami, Blood in the Water
@sonder said in Miami, Blood in the Water:
Phew. I was nervous for some reason about bringing this up.
You called?
...
No, I'm kidding. I don't know if he did or didn't, but if he did, yeah that's a shitty thing to do. If he didn't, well, evidence is not on his side.
I happen not to like Darc as a game-runner, which is why I was going along with the original question. I don't know how many people don't like Darc as a game-runner, but his lack of involvement in Miami means that I will at least log in to check it out.
Either way, best of luck to you guys.

How would you handle restarting a game? How would you set up a game in order to make this work? What's your best game-restart experience?

RE: Optional Realities & Project Redshift
What I am discovering about people who are exclusive Mudders: They have a very specific, almost draconian idea of what "RP" means.
I will continue to observe and eke out nuances, knowing that there is no such thing as black-and-white, but the present image in my head is that Dr. Seuss story about the Sneetches.
