A long time ago, someone used to get on my case about leaving my character logged in. I didn't feel like this was a big deal, I liked to read the backscroll or answer pages, etc... but they felt like 'no one ever knows if you're really there or not' and made me feel like it was Not Cool.

So then I felt bad whenever I walked away and went idle.

So to avoid that I only ever logged in if I thought I was 'really' going to be there.

So then I was logging in less.

And eventually I wasn't logging in at all.

My take away, don't make people feel bad for logging in.

I'd find a different game to play.

This made me laugh. Also this is exactly what would happen. It would suck to get kicked off a game and I personally would be really sad because ahhhhhhhh. But also I think that I'd be taking a big step back from MUing and asking myself:

What behavior did I exhibit that led people to believe I was possibly another person who consistently stalks and harasses people?

Because I'd find that deeply concerning.

A shout out to Amari on Arx who ran a very emotionally charged scene with a lot of drama and heartache that will be one of the scenes I remember as a top ten scene in my MUing lifetime. And also a kudos to all the really lovely players that were there who were not only excellent IC but had a good sense of humor OOC.

We spent a not insignificant amount of time building up this barony action on Arx and the response to it from other players (reacting or getting involved), the guy we gave the barony to (an A+ kind of player) and staff (thank you for all the patience and amazing write ups <333):

Freaking fantastic. Worth all the hours of PRP running, resource gathering and networking.

Special shout out to Amanda in the Whispers for being our big Social PC and rocking it.

I've been feeling my brain power rapidly diminish the last couple of weeks as RL has just... been exhausting. I'm down to playing one character regularly and kind of watching the others crash and burn and just being O: and hoping no one is developing a grudge over my flakiness.

ANYWAY.

That's all to say that I seriously, seriously needed the stupid, lighthearted poetry/jousting event that Norwood@Arx threw tonight. It was funny and ridiculous and chilled out some of that negative energy I'd been building up.

It's been a rough few weeks RL. Thank you to all the people out there still fostering a sense of humor and managing cooperative RP. And to all the people checking in on all the other people.

Running a scene for some great writers who kept a nice clip and were engaged the whole way through. A+

MOAR CATS. @Crawfish did this one for a pair of Spirit Lake characters! And it is

Tonight was the culmination of a bunch of @investigations and @actions and RP that spanned I dunno how long. A year maybe? A hundred percent worth it and definitely an amazing experience to share with @Darinelle @Snackness @Sparks @Pyrephox

I raise you one Swedish Vallhund.

Everything just feels exhausting all the time.

When someone asks me more than once for a scene and then stands me up. Why you do this?

Ugh. All this thread does is make me think of every time a player thought they were being a super cool flippant rebel against the grain quirky mcquirkster to me in RP but what they really were was super annoying and draining OOC.

Happy New Year's to this crazy hobby that I keep playing in year after year.

Your PC is yours. Do whatever you want with it. NPCs are the game's, not yours.

If I spend hours and hours writing an NPC and using it in stories that I GM for a game? That NPC is not the game's. It's mine. It's my NPC, it's my tool to use to push story.

Running a scene for players where people work together, roll with the punches and don't mind when you make some booboos yourself.

I have two MUing homes ATM and they are both full of people I enjoy. A+ job everyone.

A game full of just really lovely people that make running scenes a complete joy.

Fun new-to-you people.

Wtf did i just stumble into at 7:30 in the morning. I don't know any of these people but holy shit is it not okay to pose someone's name, location and multiple pictures of them. You're a damn creep.
