@coin I want a WoD splat that isn't full of fluff and has dice rolls described for every possible permeation of action. That's all I want.
ETA: But yes. Many, many, MANY people seem to think code is the answer to everything where culture and policy is far more important in many situations.

@Tinuviel Yes, yes, cultural zeitgeists don't match up perfectly with the tens digit of our arbitrary measurements of time. I'm still not going to dignify "nineteen ninety-one was in the eighties" with a rebuttal.
That's only my career you're talking about. 
@sunnyj said in Activity and Aid:
If you are running your game on an old, arcane system, you must have all powers well noted on the wiki or ingame (which was not the case) and probably some sort of simplified tutorial in the wiki, along with sheets for thugs, etc. Even if you have people willing to ST, sometimes the system is a barrier in itself. Give them tools to run your stuff.
Unless there's a licensing prohibition.
@insomniac7809 said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
Nineteen ninety-one is in the nineties because there's a fucking ninety in the tens digit.
Fine. Then 2001 was the start of the zeroth century because there's a zero in the hundreds digit.
For the record, and the audience, neither @insomniac7809 or I are taking this seriously.
@arkandel I believe White Wolf, or someone affiliated with them, went after a website (the Codex? I don't recall) for hosting their rules and the like without permission. So it's entirely possible that if they hear about it, they'll clamp down on it. So it's better to just... not.

My idea was "Wars and Terrorists and Pretty Much The Same As Every Other Decade Only FASTER." But the committee said no.
Bit of a mouthful, I have to say.
I am, but what do you think of my idea for a decade name?
@selu Anything that requires actual research is going to be a hard sell to many.
@Ghost This isn't really new, it's been around since I was in high school, at the very least.
@runescryer said in What's missing in MUSHdom?:
need to subdivide a MU into smaller groups or 'spheres'
That works only up unto a point. Nothing exists in a vacuum on a MU, wheras it can on a tabletop. The rules for one TT group don't apply to the rules of another group - but the rules of a MU are often all-encompassing. I'm talking about rulings and administration here, not running stories. When one splits a game in the way WoD often does, you take one committee and make fifteen committees all making decisions that then report back to another committee... it's not really what the system was designed for.
"Was it on my list?" Well, no. "Then it wasn't requested properly. If you want it, put it on the list."
Sometimes sleeping on the couch is worth it.
... most of my PCs start out as widowers. I did not know this about myself.
@Ganymede said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
A lie is not fraud. A lie is a lie.
Lies require intent. If you say what you believe to be true, then you're not lying even if what you say is not true.
@nightshade said in What's missing in MUSHdom?:
Wouldn't it make more sense to create several such games, so that players are more evenly distributed across them
That's not how that works. We're people, not datapoints you can shift around.
@Derp said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
then you have still willingly made a choice to provide deceptive information
Not so. You have willingly made a choice to provide inaccurate information. If it is reasonable for a person to assume their information is accurate, it is also reasonable for them to express such information. They can still be wrong, but that is not the same as a willful telling of an untruth.
Being wrong is perhaps negligence, being willfully untruthful is lying.
@selu There's an argument in my industry going about that bad teachers shouldn't be fired, as they prepare people for bad co-workers and bad bosses. That's just as ludicrous.
@arkandel I do that. Simple shit, like favourite colour and the like.
@Auspice Even better when they don't mention a country.
