@Arkandel "One is dramatic, and the other makes you feel stupid." There's something in there that might add to the discussion about character death...

(ETA: That guy's voice is pretty great, too.)

I will note, that allegedly the developers wanted multiple types of 'romance' in the game, from casual flings to bromances to the traditional monogamy. I've no idea whether that's what's presented or not, though.

Talking is not a free action.

@ixokai It's the same Asari actress. You know, like that one hispanic guy that plays all the gang members in every movie or tv show? Same Asari has to fill all the roles, except the co-star.

I've had numerous instances of enemies clipping through solid objects that they can then fire through, without me being able to return fire. That seriously needs to be patched.

This is all assuming this was a wiki for X reason. That's not how any of this works. We were asked for best practices in general. Just because Y is inconvenient doesn't mean that it is wrong. If you want to run anything at all, then following basic security procedures (don't store passwords as plaintext, don't allow anyone to access, et cetera) is fucking basic. If you want elementary shit then listen to @ixokai or @Roz. If you want actual basic internet security listen to @thenomain.

End of fucking conversation.

@ixokai Well you're acting like your way is the ONLY WAY EVER. Not taking into account the simple fact that some people like doing it differently. I would rather put in a little work for some added security, much like Theno. You don't want to do that. That's fine. You're coming across as if the very idea of someone thinking in a different way to you is blasphemous.

Just let people voice their points without jamming your fist in their mouth. It's not difficult.

@WTFE If you were after a comeback you should find some on your mother's teeth.

@WTFE I can't be racist, I'm literally colour blind.

@ixokai This isn't an argument. Various people are offering advice and suggestions, as requested. If you have a problem with a suggestion, criticize constructively. Don't be a dick about it, this isn't the hog pit.

I like my women how I like my coffee. Strong and bitter.

@surreality Well she's a re-married divorcee that is a favourite for the 2018 Russian Presidential election. So, you know. She could have a body double that's dating our pal here.

@Thenomain I've had the opposite issue. If you engage in a conversation while the NPC is in the middle of a walking animation, the camera will zoom to where they're supposed to be but the character will continue walking. Which makes the conversation hard to hear, often.

@surreality She was the Prosecutor General for Crimea when it was part of the Ukraine, and switched sides during the Russian uh... peacekeeping excursion into the region. She served for a term as the Russian Prosecutor General of the same region before being elected as a Deputy of the State Duma.

Not that you care, I just like the story.

@Shiggy Isn't she an incredibly corrupt traitor?

I know Evennia has a (I believe by default) wiki connection, alongside its web-based client. Perhaps digging into those configurations could be worth a look - assuming they resemble anything a sane (read: MU* coder) person could look at.

@WTFE Well now with the internet as large as it is you can troll hundreds or thousands of people at once. The troll doesn't need to be accurate to cause offense anymore.

@Thenomain Is there a method by which one can control wiki account creation through MU*-based SQL fuckery?

For example when a character is flagged approved, the account is created or somesuch?

The only power you need is a fully loaded automatic assault rifle.

Massive Strict caps on campaign spending, abolish the electoral college, have each electorate vote directly - no more blue state red state stuff - instant runoff naturally. I mean I'd rework the US political system into a fashion I'm more familiar with, but that's a start.
