@Rinel Write your original work, then change the names to protagonists of various works. Call it a cross-over.

@Aria Why do you always schedule your migraines to line up with the car parade?

I for one always call in a GM to help me end my TS.

one time when i was a teenager i started a “sex scene” then called for a staffer to judge combat because i was there to kill the guy

you can imagine how smoothly this went and how many names i was not called

Critical roll for BONERKILLER.

I dunno, snuff is a fetish...

What else is there?

Pretending that all this writing is helping you prepare for that best-selling doorstopper series that's going to set you for life a la George R. R. Martin?

Oh, but it does! If you've seen it on a MU*, don't do that. And you're golden!

Reading this thread makes me wonder if anyone still plays these games for other purposes than getting laid.

What else is there?

To be fair, though. Most men these days are enough to turn women gay and other men straight.

(This is a joke.)

@Kanye-Qwest It's far too true, alas. Even in MUing. it's usually a player-driven thing from a male player. "I can make her want me."

Yeah uh I've definitely heard assertions that I am playing some kind of gay fetish character and I found them pretty depressing considering I haven't even had any sex on the character in yeeaaars.

It definitely happens that players do this and that there are many awful fetish caricatures out there -- but it also happens that it is weaponized as a critique, particularly against players who aren't doing what you want, I guess.

I have definitely had hetero sex with your 'gay fetish' character

That's the fetish.

....whose? WHOSE FETISH IS 'PEOPLE WHO DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT SEX WITH ME'

because this assumption feels like a lot of dirty bisexual erasure, and i'm not here for it

Hi, you must be new here. This is the part where we talk about straight folks that think they're the "exception" to someone's homosexuality. Or we can talk about "corrective rape".

This is a great hobby plagued by some massive problems.

So, basically its sort of like real life?

Except this is optional.

I keep this as well updated as a wiki page, but there.

@Pandora Oh I agree, a more diverse player base leads to more actual diversity on games, that's a no brainer. But that's a very long term, and difficult plan that requires actual... recruiting, to an ancient system. There's no real easy "and this is how you MU" since everyone has different ideas of what is acceptable or proper.

That and we're a rather insular bunch, at least from my experience. If you don't know something mechanical, you'll get help. But if you overstep one of our many unwritten social codes, it's rare that an explanation is given. So I'd say that technically the learning curve is small, but in reality that's rarely the case.

let them know what they're missing out on in this hobby

Which is... what, exactly?

Fuck your excellent point.
This is a great hobby plagued by some massive problems.

Well sure, it's great. For us, those already in it.
What's the big draw for other people, though? Why is this better than any other way they could spend their time?

if someone is Hungarian then 100% they are a vampire

Or a porn star. Maybe both.

Isn't that just generally assumed, these days?

@Prototart And Gulyás!

@L-B-Heuschkel True, but at the same time we've been saying these things for centuries. And we know, generally, they're not true even if we say them. They're not innocent by any means, but they're very rarely taken seriously by anyone intelligent or important.
