@arkandel Most games that I've seen use it have almost all the information available on the game itself.

@meg said in Spirit Lake: An Original Modern Fantasy Game:

like enough that they implemented it as a rule

That's no indicator of popularity or desire.

@meg said in Spirit Lake: An Original Modern Fantasy Game:

Maybe someone should start a constructive criticism thread to get it changed.

Thanks for volunteering.

@goldfish said in How to use Potato MU Client:

I've read nothing in this thread. I can't get past the fact that the blinking cursor doesn't keep up with my typing. So...what do?

Type slower.

@alamias said in How to use Potato MU Client:

I tried Potato today. I couldn’t get past the way it ‘scrolled’ long blocks of text when you did a look or whatever. It just seemed slow and bugged me. Just not for me.

No look, only type.

More seriously: I've read a fair amount of people having similar issues. Either I don't have them or I've managed to ignore them, so I can't help. You may want to go to the Potato GitHub Page and report these issues.

Well, if it's the end of the War, Revan's splinter group would already have formed and been fighting the whole time. BUT they'd be the kinds of Jedi most people would want to play, rather than those taking a back seat to it all.

@auspice There is somewhat of a difference between "ask us and we'll close it" and "we're asking if you want it closed."

@Lain I never said that it was a cause of problems. I just find the requirement of registering some kind of allegiance to be utterly preposterous. Secret ballots only work if they're actually secret.

@Ninjakitten said in How to BeipMU: The best MU Client for Windows:

Wine needs more love

OS agnostic programming needs more love.

@thenomain Ayup. Build it how you want it, and those that share your vision will come.
And they will also visit your game.

@derp said in What's your favorite MU* client?:

Which one of you monsters voted for TinyFugue?

@Lain Then you definitely don't need a big hullabaloo that infects the world when you have your Primaries.

Or, as an alternative to Roz's suggestion, have account creation be manual only. That seems to be a popular choice.

I also dislike open sheets, which surprises nobody. Much the same as I dislike a GM or Storyteller rolling my dice for me. Probably irrational, but there we are.

@autumn The only correct answer.

This video always makes my day better.

@Roz No. One allows anyone to sign up and edit whatever. The other requires that they be a person known to the admin. It might be "more work" but it serves a purpose that captcha doesn't fill.

Without even looking at the rights of external entities, I'd side-eye any game that wanted to make a profit off of my work. And yes, I'd consider any input I have into the game's canon to be my intellectual property, at least to some extent.

As for logs that I've personally put on a game's wiki or whathaveyou, or if the game itself does when I've knowingly consented to it (ie Ares' scene system): pretty them up and share them around as advertising if you want, I've given those to the game. That's another point. I've given them to the game, not to any individual staff members or the headstaff or the host or anyone else.

Now, as for formatting for the purposes of reading later - regardless of audience - I think most ereaders and all browsers can use some nature of CSS for the formatting of their books.

If you want this to appeal to a wider, specifically non-MU*er audience, then you need to take a look at film novelisations. They take the script, in this case the scene log, and embellish and expand upon things and make slight alterations to the scripted 'reality' to fit the flow of a novel better.

As far as I can see it's a minefield of copyright and IP problems, mixed with a whole bunchload of effort, for no real payoff that I can see.

@faraday That's literally the only reason I adore Potato. Two inputs means I can have a pose in the works and still answer questions, queries, stupid comments on channels if I so deign.

ETA: At least the way I used to use spawns (on zMud/cMud. Yes, I paid for a client once.), Potato's dual inputs cover it nicely.

@auspice Now I know why we don't RP together often. Two grumpy old people with fucked up brains.

@ShelBeast I am unable to connect also.
