@cobaltasaurus said in Let's talk about TS.:

&data.categories prco=action.adventure.casual.comedy.conflict.mystery.public.romance.social

Those sound like accurate categories, to be fair.

@surreality Besides, I am a guy. It'll be really disappointing coffee that tastes burnt and under-roasted at the same time, some of it will get in your hair somehow, and I'll be stupidly proud about it all.

@surreality ... if it ever starts doing that, I won't need you anymore.

@surreality Honey, we're talking about TS, not engaging in it. Please don't spit until you really mean it.

@vulgarkitten I kind of. Kind of want to see someone justify their "why won't anyone TS with me" bullshit like they do with their crappy RP seeking crap.

@peasoupling I suddenly have the need to see what Shadowrun says about sex in the matrix...

@ganymede

If the idea contains the words "Like Tinder" "just like in Kerbal Space Program" or "on an episode of Voyager" they are bad ideas.

Do we really need a coded 'system' for this?
We're adults, we can have conversations.

there are assholes everywhere

That's my TS style.

@thenomain Shang does apparently have a deep and convoluted lore.
But it's played as 'whatever, but with sex', which I think is the more important thing.

@macha Sounds accurate to me.

@magee101 Rape and pillage and slaughter vs yah haaar swash and buckle.

I typically choose more cerebral characters. Tactical and strategic leaders rather than fighters or confrontationalists.
Surprising nobody I also tend to make them rather aloof, eccentric, and rather smug-up-the-nose-not-looking-down kind of people.

I'm not at all good at playing people that are stupid or ignorant, nor overly friendly social butterflies.

As for other people, I don't really tend to link people to character so much as I do... link characters to OOC personae?
I know it's basically anathema, but if your PC is consistently X-thing, then I start to think in the back of my mind that you are also that thing. I rarely interact with people OOC, so that's not really an issue. And it's certainly not a case of IC bleeding into OOC, but it's a thing in my head.

@auspice I am home, that's why I'm drunk.

I know I'm supposed to be the descriptivist here... but fuck I hate the phrase "going forward."

@lithium Typically using a plural without a qualifier means 'the majority' of that thing. Cats have four legs, dogs are loyal, Australians are drunks.

@lithium Yes it is. Not your local schools necessarily, but some certainly do.

@derp It's more about the identifiable than the legible. Mine's illegible scrawl, but it matches that which is on my identification, so it's acceptable.

People will want to communicate about this thing they've just seen. That's natural. In their exuberance spoilers will happen, it's just a fact of life in as information-rich a world that we live in now, so punishing people that make such mistakes (as opposed to those that shout "Rosebud is..." just to annoy people, who should be castrated and then eviscerated.)

That said, if you are on a forum like this one it's not difficult to create a new, spoiler-warning laden thread in which those that have absorbed the relevant media can participate, while leaving those that haven't and those that don't care out of it.
