@Auspice We aren't allowed guns.

This is the Twitch 'PogChamp' emote. Saying "pog" or "poggers" is a reference to this image as a reaction.

@mietze And who is this "we" you keep bringing up?

@Auspice It's a hard place to live.

I do not think that we shouldnt talk or brainstorm about it, it is a fun topic

It would be, if it weren't brought up every six months like a smoke alarm battery reminder.

I don't know why we keep being the ones being asked how to improve the "recruiting" of new players. Us of all fragments of the MU community.

We're not marketing or sales, we're custodial staff.

There are things that are easier, faster, better written, and prettier that also don't involve interacting with other people. MUing has never been "popular" and it likely never will be. People continually conflate MSB with the MU community as a whole.

Can newer, better tools help gain people? Sure. Are we going to have thousands of people filling our servers? No.
We're not WoW Classic, we're Zork.

In my part of Australia it is "fizzy drink" or "soft drink."
Fizzy because... it's fizzy. Soft because, by default, drink means booze.

So pretty please, make it.

You do it.

It's my birthday, and my youngest made breakfast in bed for me. Which was lovely.
Unfortunately, it was also served at one in the morning, because apparently morning automatically means breakfast.

the "stuff to do" section of our wedding website

"Attend our wedding, then do whatever you want you're an adult."

No, admin toadie, I cannot attend a meeting you suddenly decided that we needed. 1) I live an hour and a half away. 2) My workday doesn't start until eight-thirty am. You don't get my time before that without arranging it beforehand AND arranging to pay me. 3) I don't answer to you.

make you want to wash someone's mouth out with soap

I'm not sure the mouth is the part you need to think about washing...

This isn't remotely the discussion? Funny, I thought I was part of the discussion, and it seems related to me: IC mental versus IC physical ages and players seeking RP that either just skeeves people or is outright depicting what would be illegal most everywhere.

Yes, it's not the discussion. We're talking specifically about adult players of MU*s playing children in sexual situations. Not what an actor did, or what an author wrote. We're not debating whether such things should be done in or for art, we're debating whether things should be done in our hobby.

@JinShei

We'll just have to disagree, then. And I'll stand by my hope that asynchronous plots don't become the norm even remotely.

@Groth I get the idea. But that doesn't really make practical sense. What if you were killed in your day-to-day RP? Or started dating someone? Or any number of other things that could dramatically change or invalidate any "it hasn't happened yet" RP.

@Misadventure said in Cyberrun:

And why doesn't Pris skeeve people? She's a 4 year old in an adult body, slated to be a sex worker.

Though this isn't remotely the same discussion, she does skeeve people. She's supposed to.

@Misadventure said in Cyberrun:

To me, highlights that 18 is a magical number in these considerations, especially when OFTEN people end up at 18-20 so it's really close to that line. If we're so concerned, why is that?

The number itself isn't important, but the cultural mores that surround it. Right or wrong, eighteen is (in many English-speaking nations) the dividing line between adulthood and childhood. In the real world, the difference between the minute before midnight and the minute after on an eighteenth birthday doesn't cause a change - we all know this... except bouncers outside pubs, apparently.

However. Playing someone eighteen or over is a decision to play an adult, playing someone below the age of eighteen is a decision to play a child. So the number itself isn't as important as the decision behind the choice of character type.
