so I also usually avoid reading descs too

So... how do you know what a character is supposed to look like?

@Wretched I see you've met my children.

@silverfox said in TS - Danger zone:

I stand ready for any and all derision.

It's not derision so much as it is... disbelief. And a small feeling of insult. Disbelief at the idea that you manage to roleplay without using the visual core of your imagination. And insult at the idea that I wrote this damned thing, I want it read.

@Ghost But... White People!

@Wretched Ugh, right?

I mean I get the whole 'posing the outfit' thing. That makes sense, people wear different clothes day-to-day. But c'mon. I had to write an @desc, it isn't hard to read the damned thing.

If you "don't have to" read it, then I shouldn't have to write the bloody thing.

@Auspice said in RL Anger:

And you had a damn sporran to go with it, too.

A skirt with a bag. It's not our fault you folks insist on wearing bags on your shoulders, we know where bags are supposed to hang.

@Arkandel said in TS - Danger zone:

Is a PB ever a dealbreaker because you don't like the model person?

Absolutely. It's not a dealbreaker in terms of an IC relationship, but I'm not going to start bumping uglies in full and glorious prose. That said, if the 'not liking' goes beyond personal preference and into "that person literally abused puppies (and/or other things. You know what I'm talking about) then I'm probably just going to avoid dealing with the player altogether.

crazy car to learn to use the litterbox

@silverfox said in TS - Danger zone:

I just also see people here going, "No, I don't enjoy talking OOC about stuff,"

There's a big difference between not talking OOC about plans and plots and things, and not talking OOC about how to get an OOC idea into an IC one.

Folks that prattle along with "IC is king" are dumber than a bag full of bags full of hammers if they expect that to work at all on a game that allows OOC communication. No, I'm not going to chat with you about how my character is planning to fuck your character over. I am, however, totally going to talk to you about how my character is going to fu... you get the idea.

ETA: That said, there's always a solid resolution to these things. Just don't engage with each other again. If they won't do something you want/need to be comfortable, they can fuck off, no matter which side of the 'OOC communication' stand you sit on.

No, stupid other atheists. There is a difference between supporting people with beliefs and supporting the beliefs they hold.

@Auspice said in TS - Danger zone:

Don't ask if your character can kiss mine. Don't wait for her to make the first move. Just do it. If she doesn't want it she'll make it clear.

With most of my PCs, I highly recommend asking first.

The cute ones are the deadly ones.

nope.
surprise makeouts for Gany always.

It can be both if you get a convoluted 50-shades style contract written up. Disclaimer: Gany will probably find loopholes out of it.

Gany will write the loopholes in.

@Auspice Dicksucking is dex, deep throating is con.

@Ghost said in TS - Danger zone:

It is if the player of the Prince is looking for TS.

That's a whole different kind of problem.

@Ghost I know my next Changing Breeds character...

@Ghost said in TS - Danger zone:

Anyway, srsly props to the people who said TS was a sexual event between players (not chars) and were more forthcoming.

At least in my experience, which isn't as vast as some, it's one of those weird situations that it's an IC driven thing that leads to more... interest, for lack of a better term, OOC. It's two characters fuckin', but two players getting to be smutty at each other. Like two authors trying to write the most lurid prose in some weird competition.

If that makes any sense.

@Arkandel said in RL Anger:

So if you know someone is leaving in a couple of months you could decide you're not getting enough out of them to be worth it

That doesn't follow from what you said, though. If you know someone is going to be leaving soon, and you need to replace them, it makes far more sense to have them train their replacement than taking anyone else away from their own duties.

@Pandora said in TS - Danger zone:

Do you disagree that if no one is currently seeking RP with this NPC, that the player behind it should be free to do what they want with it, provided it is not some shared NPC?

No. If nobody is seeking RP with it, it shouldn't be used. It's a tool, not another PC.

ETA: Allow me to explain my view further. When you are using an NPC, as I have defined them previously, to roleplay, you are at work. You are performing a job. An NPC can, ICly, bang whomever or whatever. A person in charge of that NPC does not need to typefuck at people for that to have happened. TS is a luxury, not a necessity of the job.

You want to typefuck? Do it on your own time, not when you're using a game resource. In this case, 'your own time' is literally logging into your own PC to do it.

Ah, so this is a game-specific thing for you. Because there are plenty of games where NPCs are just powerful staff alts or powerful characters handed to an ST for a plot or arc, during which time they are not playing any PCs and are charged with spicing up the grid and handing out plot nuggets and interacting with the masses in general.

Those don't sound like NPCs, to me. They sound like PCs. Still, in that case, I would say "spicing up the grid and handing out plot nuggets" doesn't include typefucking. You're still doing a job.

That also sounds like a ridiculously easy-to-cause-problems policy, and I'm glad I don't play there.

@dev My life for five years. I do not wish that fate on anybody.

Well, computers these days aren't big enough to do this anymore:
