I'll see your video clip and raise you. And join you in a few drinks.

Okay, decided to give Arx another shot so getting into some RP would be great. Give Jasher a page if you'd like.

@arkandel I just couldn't connect and was getting some kind of proxy error.

@surreality Yeah, stuffed peppers. It was a relatively common dish growing up.

Honestly, I'm having the same problem this time that I did my first attempt. +journal, +crisis, +this, +that, +(every fucking thing on the planet). I don't want to play a Mud.

But this time I'm pretty much resolving to ignore all the mechanics and just RP.

Well, the line decides it. Let's migrate to new software. Without a line.

@Admiral Find a good massage therapist but be certain to explain the problem. They should be able to feel if it's torn or not, depending on where it is. If it's just a pull, they'll help.

I'll just add my +1 and agree, in the most constructively critical way possible, that the documentation SUCKS. It's not just that the help files are often near useless and need to be read a few times to interpret them but actually finding the commands is horrible. Example.

help guards, help +guards and help @guards are ALL the same exact help file. Which is fine. It's more than fine, it's great. Different people will try different commands to find something. BUT.

help home is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from help +home. How the HELL am I supposed to know that? Why would I ever check help +home after I've already read help home since I already knew that all 3 variations of help guard were exactly the same?

And if we can't ignore a person, a way to turn off graphics in threads would be nice.

@Auspice Get a memory foam mattress topper. I'm a side sleeper and often have the same problem. The topper makes a HUGE difference.

@Auspice Nothing worse than logging with a client's logging function. The coder on Dark Spires - I don't recall his name - coded up a logger object that works fantastically. You drop it and it records only the IC that happens in the room so it doesn't pick up any of your pages, bboard reading, +wheres, etc. It's since migrated to other games, including Marvel: 1963 where @ixokai has greatly improved on the functionality and has configured it to the wiki format as well. I never log without it.

@lordbelh said in Changes to The Hog Pit:

Its not a big thing, I just don't see the point.

This really. It's not a big deal. But it's one thing to change things around if the change is really needed. It's another to do it just because a few people are morons.

This is simply brilliant.

@Auspice Come log on M63 and see the help file.

@EmmahSue

Yes, I know. But once we click 'join' that one and only time, nothing at all is different for us. It won't change our posting or replying habits at all. It'll only keep new users and people who don't want to see Hog Pit posts from doing so. If that's the point, cool. I get tired of marking things read that I don't want to read myself. But I can't see how it's going to do a thing to change the tenor of replies in any category. If someone is likely to go hog wild (see what I did there?) in the constructive category, they're going to, even if they clicked 'join' once 5 months back.

@Sparks said in RL Anger:

And I hate—hate—that there's nothing really I can do about it. I can try to be there for my mother, but nothing I can do that will likely have a measurable impact on her ability to pull through this.

Completely wrong. That is exactly what you can do for her and it WILL have a measurable impact. Doctors only lay out a course of treatment. It's her family that provide the support she needs. Don't underestimate the benefit of your care.

@WTFE said in Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning:

And now the penny drops for why Arx has so quickly become a Klearing-howse of Krayzee.

Can't say I've seen any crazy on staff's end in game. Some of the players I might avoid but that's the same anywhere. When something like this comes up, we can only form our opinion based on what we know. When it's something that happens in game via page or request that most of us aren't privy to, we have to fall back on what we know of those involved. In this case, for me, it's how do they represent themselves here? So, yeah. my money is on @lordbelh being the reasonable one.

@Coin We'll just put holes in the wall so we can see you when you're tossing your drugs over it.

@Goyim said in Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning:

That people have managed it in a game that hasn't even been open for a year either means there's either been some hilariously bad players or a staffing team that's whimsically dropping the hammer.

Marvel: 1963 has banned 2 or 3 people so far and we've been open less than a year too. There's definitely some bad players out there though hilarious is not what I'd call them.
