so much as enjoy the same breakfast cereal as Inara's player.

Damn, I'm out of Spite-Os too.

@BlackDahlia In what way(s)?

To me, at least, Firefly is a setting best-used with small groups rather than public MU*s.

The main comment I have is that it seems rather silly to make Companions require preapproval/special permission.

There were two main reasons I got when I also raised this point... many moons ago, during my own special permission seeking mission.

1. They wanted to assess and be sure of the maturity of the players handling such a delicate position. (Phrasing.)
2. It was Inara's special thing of the week, so do what she says.

@Too-Old-For-This Knowing the shitshow SerenityMUSH code was last I saw it... somehow, something will break if you wipe all the stats and remove all the gear and all that jazz.

To tack on a little to @Sunny's points, another thing that desperately needs to be done is some kind of... anything. If all you're interested in is players making their own fun, that's fine... but staff need to get that ball rolling, as backwards as that might seem. Folks aren't likely to stick around if the only RP they get is talking to the same five people over and over while the ship flies from one planet to the next because they have to constantly run cargo or they can't afford fuel to constantly run cargo to afford fuel to const...

the fall of Rome

Which one?

Whatever it is needs to continue in the politics section, not here.

@Ganymede Hey. No kink shaming.

ETA: To be fair, I can't keep up with who is supposed to be controlling who in US politics. I assume everyone is trying to control everything and everyone else.

@Ganymede Of course. It's insulting to the puppet master to have someone else accused of being the puppet master.

Maybe we're all getting old and cranky!

Maybe?

@Cobaltasaurus The same goes for anyone that acts incredulous when I tell them I've no intention of seeing the film. Why is it so hard to imagine someone that doesn't give a shit about the thing you like?

@Aria Hot damn, I am getting this right the fuck now. Just need to work out a way to port it to my MU client...

@Aria I already remove youtube comments from the screen entirely. But I'd be interested to know if Comment Snob worked on other platforms, like Facebook.

@Ganymede said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Like, if there are five people in this fucking bar, why am I waiting for this dumbass bartender for a drink?

Did you actually join the bar place and tabletalk your order correctly?

@TiredEwok said in SerenityMUSH - Discussion:

we were able to pretty much RP with anyone

Oh, I remember.

Yelp, I do not know how you got my personal phone number and I do not like it, do not call me, I hate you.

I'll see you Yelp and counter with the automated robocaller that has a computerized voice speaking Chinese.

That's just @Ganymede.

One of the major, major problems with Serenity was that it was so very... fragmented. There was no guiding story, no major 'situations' that could organically arise, because everyone was flying about with a handful of other people.

@Ghost said in SerenityMUSH - Discussion:

are a lot of those old guard vulture dinosaur 1%ers still there, has there been a reset and/or new direction of the game, or is this the same Serenity Mush that's been essentially kept on life support for the last 8 years?

There's two different questions here.

It doesn't look like it has been reset, but at the same time the game is practically empty so the old folks aren't there either.

I fail to see how a headwiz acknowledging their shortcomings

If only this trait extended to actually running the game.
