@ominous There's some vague debate as to whether they were kidnapping, or "kidnapping". But that's way beyond the scope of this thread.

@tnp said in Dead Celebrities 2021 Edition:

which is actually an inaccurate translation as the Latin root doesn't imply sexual assault but kidnapping

(It's not so much an inaccurate translation as it is the word has evolved, so it was accurate when it was translated but isn't now... which is arguably making it an inaccurate translation. Carry on.)

The Hog Pit is the newer, more sensible plan.

If that is true we need to be nuked from orbit.

Hey, I didn't say it was perfect. It's just newer and more sensible.

I say we tear down your city. Raze it to the ground and rebuild from the ground up with a newer, more sensible plan.

Do you know how hard I am working to avoid making a Hog Pit reference right now

do you understand how virtuous I am being

The Hog Pit is the newer, more sensible plan.

I only donated to make it $420. You're welcome.

One thing I'll never understand is how these screeching ninnies managed to convince people not to take the vaccine because they don't know what's in it, but to take ivermectin... which they clearly also don't know anything about.

Feelings are always valid: Attraction, repulsion, anger, whatever; they don't need to be rational, or even 'reasonable', to be so. It's what you do about them that matters.

which are legal in the US

Not only legal, but pretty damn common all over the Western world.

I'll need that $69 back.

Give the various splats something for them, and only them, to do. And try to enforce that delineation.

@l-b-heuschkel But were always somehow a month out of date even if posted recently because someone decided to alter the grid in a small but irritating way.

@l-b-heuschkel Boy, I'm so used to games not having maps that when they do it's as if it's a totally new concept that I love. Every time.

@sunny said in Attachment to old-school MU* clients:

Unless that's been just hyperbole

Hyperbole? IN MY MU SOAPBOX?!

@sunny We'd definitely need a bunch of statistics to tell without bias, but it has definitely appeared to have gone from The Way everywhere to A Way in a few places.

@lotherio said in Attachment to old-school MU* clients:

I don't care to play disagree all night.

Then log off.

That said, I was stating that the idea of it being the norm is now over. It still happens, just as I still could ride my horse to work if I wanted.

@lotherio said in Attachment to old-school MU* clients:

I can say tonight there were three on grid scene where I was tonight

That's not at all what I said.

You said days of grid wandering are done, I kindly disagreed.

Then you are wrong in more cases than you are right.

@l-b-heuschkel said in Attachment to old-school MU* clients:

You could walk around the grid for days and never meet a soul.

I'm fairly confident that the days of wandering the grid and confidently finding random RP are over. And have been for a while.

@arkandel said in What is a MU*?:

Is it no longer a MU*?

As has been said above, what is and isn't a MU* isn't necessarily something one can point at and delineate. I know that WoW isn't a MU*. I know that Firan is was a MU*.

It's like trying to explain the difference between dogs and cats without an innate knowledge of their biology. I know what a cat is because I know what a cat is.
