I shall!

@Alamias

I would love to see your collection.

@Alamias

Oh man. It's a good thing I don't live close to any of the Disney parks. We'd be in trouble.

@Alamias

Mine will be going up on my shelf along with all my other collectables, never to be used but always to be admired.

A group of friends I know from Twitch went to Disney World together. One of my friends was super nice and got me one of those Endor tiki cups that you can only get by buying a $46 (apparently it went up in price, a bit) drink at Oga's Cantina. I am beyond excited and am also just floored by how generous my friends are.

I tinkered a bit with it. It looks a bit familiar, kind of like the C++ and other such formats friends have taught via Twitch streams. It all goes over my head, but maybe someday I'll learn how to mu* code using this.

@Roz

Good point.

You just have to weigh whether the "last resort" kind of situation you're describing is worth establishing a policy that's going to chase good people away.

Thank you for your thoughtful response, @faraday and the thought occured to me as well that we'd also invade the other player's privacy in this case.

To be entirely honest here, I personally hadn't expected that this bit of policy would stir so much feeling, because it's been pretty much a given on every mush I've been on that staff might lurk "dark" in scenes. I've only ever RP'ed wth that thought in my mind and would only ever talk about staff in pages or through channels away from the mush. So when we wrote the policy, it just seemed... a normal staff thing to do (and say). But if people think that the line would make people uncomfortable and even chase good players away, I wouldn't mind removing it from the policy.

I think the policy is best left as being something left unspoken. At this point in the hobby, which has been around forever, I think pretty much everyone knows that it is a possibility that one's RP/OOC interactions/etc might be monitored by staff under certain situations. Stating that outright makes people who have had bad experiences, heard bad stories, or whatnot, anxious and less inclined to play on a game, as been evidenced in this thread.

If I can afford it, I get carne asada tacos from the Mexican place when I am feeling down. If I have extra funds I even get a side of guac.

If I don't have any money, I'll just find whatever sounds good that we happen to have in the house.

@ZombieGenesis

I should check it out as well!

@Ganymede

Aw. Thank you, Gany.

I have so many friends who have my back no matter what, even now when my family and I are facing down some sad times. And, of course, I have my boys and hubby and mom.

@nyctophiliac

I am so sorry.

@Macha

Thank you very much. The offer means a lot to me.

@JinShei

Thanks.

@Auspice

Thank you.

My stepdad aspirated into his lungs and he quit breathing and his heart stopped. He's now in ICU in a medically induced coma.

Tomorrow, from noon to midnight CST, I am going to be ringing in the New Year by doing a 12 hour Minecraft stream to try and raise money for the American Cancer Society in honor of my aunt who lost her life to the disease. The campaign link is: https://tiltify.com/@tiredewok/ewoks-fighting-cancer and my twitch link is twitch.tv/tiredewok . The goal is $150.

(as if y'all can't tell, self-promotion isn't exactly my strong point, sorry!)

My friend is running a game for four of us via Roll20, using something of a homebrewed Savage Worlds set up. I am playing a circus bear. A literal, non-sentient circus bear. He's been so much fun! I wasn't sure about it, especially when learning he can't speak, but he is a blast to play as. So far he has:

• Sat on a crawling skeleton, causing it to explode and its skull to land in a pond of caustic water, dissolving it.
• Bear hugged a goblin so hard its arms literally popped off.
• Inadvertently killed the goblin next to the one whose arms popped off after an arm hit it.
• Eaten pretty much everything dead/almost dead that he could because CARRION EATER, hello?

I can't wait until next week's session.

ETA: My bad, got the name wrong. The RPG system he homebrewed is Dungeon World.

I like having a division between OOC and IC as far as grid goes. If I am always on the IC side of the grid I wind up feeling pressured to RP when I might not feel up to doing more than OOCly chat with friends. An OOC room allows me to do that without the 'omgmustrp' pressure sitting in an IC room can bring about.
