    • RE: FCs on Comic MUs

      @tempest Keep in mind it's 1964. There's no tolerance for gays. In fact, the word's not really in use yet. Homosexuals are considered deviant by most of the government, the country, and the world. There are 2 'alternative' clubs built on the grid. One's a dive where you can find drag queens that gets raided periodically and ICly has to move locations. The other is a high class place that caters to the outcasts of society: gays, lesbians, mutants, blacks, etc. Both are guarded by mob enforcers who pay off the cops. Stonewall hasn't happened yet; in fact, it doesn't exist yet. It's still a restaurant, not a bar. So basically, you're not going to see it in public.

      As for gender swaps, they can be particularly interesting because of the same reasoning. Like gays, blacks, mutants and other minorities, women are still second class citizens. Women with power are very rare. (By power I include things like being a CEO, a police detective, etc.) If they happen at all, they're going to be the subject of prejudice and/or resentment. We make sure this is noted during the app process and is usually a flaw or mentioned in the BG. A female Cap would be problematic since women combatants were not a thing in WWII and would certainly not be the subject of super soldier experiments. If possible at all, there would need to be a lot of consultation with staff on how that would work.

      @Sunny said in General Video Game Thread:

      ... and the Agent's story is SO GOOD that if I can stomach the playstyle I'm playing an agent. ^^

      Agreed. The Agent's story is excellent and my favorite of the non-Force User classes. Personally, I'd rate them:

      Sith Inquisitor
      Sith Warrior
      Jedi Knight
      Jedi Consular

      Imperial Agent
      Smuggler
      Bounty Hunter
      Trooper.

      @surreality Hope you find someone good then. Do post updates though preferably not in this particular thread.

      @Tempest You are aware. Not everyone is. I can think of one person wanting to be a female news reporter at the age of 20something. We've also had apps referencing computers as if they were common so we like to make sure, from the start, that the setting is taken into account.

      I don't think you sound condescending, that sounds accurate. It's part of my peeve here, this shit is easy to miss because it's happening to someone else...

      This isn't directed at you. Or anyone really.

      But that's like half the definition of privilege.

      @autumn I find your argument compelling, tbh. I'd vote yes on the app based on that reasoning.

      So would I.

      And yes, I was using hyperbole when I told Tempest that woman should be barefoot and pregnant. Though if I recall right, I'm pretty sure I did say 'many still think that...

      @dontpanda said in RL Anger:

      I'm trying to piece together all this Fahrenheit stuff... and it's needlessly difficult.

      All y'all should just go metric. It's more precise, logical, and every other country in the world save three have done it without the sky falling on their heads.

      Sorry but Fahrenheit is much more precise. As an example, let's take the range of 0 to 50 in Celsius. That's a 50 degree spread. Fahrenheit has about a 90 degree spread and so is much better able to measure the exact temperature of something without needing to resort to decimals. And if you want to use decimals, then it becomes even more accurate.

    • RE: Marvel: 1963+

      @prototart After googling, it looks like Wildtimes are DC characters reimagined into different time periods. Since the game is set in 1964, that's already a given. If you mean a DC character from the Wild West somehow transported to 1964, possibly. Logging onto the game and asking there is the best way of doing it since there will be questions.

    • RE: X-Men Utopia MUX

      @Ganymede @surreality We tried. Once the character was created, all they had to do was type a command in game then C&P the resulting info into a wiki page. Done.

      And half didn't.

    • RE: Regarding administration on MSB

      Suggestion: if you want to keep the worst of things out of the Ads section, just delete a post that crosses the line. Trolls and attention whores love to be in the spotlight and get people arguing with them. Just deleting the post is just making them disappear in that instance. No drama, just gone.

      Note: do this everywhere and half the posters will up and leave so it should be ONLY for Ads if you really want to keep that pristine.

      I find your choice of banned characters to be somewhat bizarre in a few of the cases. Care to explain your reasoning?

    • RE: Regarding administration on MSB

      Thing is, we've had plenty of constructive threads since MSB opened. And most of them didn't devolve into chaos laced with a healthy dose of vitriol. That being said, I'm sure we've all noticed that in the last several months, things have become increasingly heated. I'm not sure why. Neither do I particularly care.

      Speaking just for myself, I think things were fine just as they were... say, six months ago. Now though, we really need to get rid of the extreme personal insults and ad hominem attacks. Those who engage in them on a regular basis, to the exclusion of most other content, need to be reined in or booted as all they contribute is 'sound and fury signifying nothing'.

      And GIFs. Ban the fucking GIFs.

    • RE: RL things I love

      @Auspice Another lazy option that's good...

      Get those frozen vegetables with sauce of some kind. Green Giant, for instance, makes an acceptable broccoli with cheese sauce. Dump it on some pasta. Voila. Creamed spinach also works well.

    • RE: Mutant Genesis (X-Men)

      @Salty-Secrets @Enoch As far as power level goes, given that Exodus and a fully Phoenixed Jean are being played, that argument doesn't really have a leg to stand on. (I'm also assuming they're staff alts so correct me if I'm wrong.)

      Speed, I don't get unless it's solely because Wiccan is banned. Likewise for Apache, Morph and Mimic (and if 616 Mimic is banned for some reason, does that mean Exiles version is too as his powers are slightly different?)

      edited to ask: Is there staff alt transparency?

    • RE: Staff and ethics

      @arkandel said in Staff and ethics:

      So while we're on the subject of rules... do you think it's better for staff to create a detailed set of policies, or keep it to generic "don't be an asshole" guidelines?

      We started out with 'don't be an asshole' as a tl;dr version of some basic policies that should be common sense. We added as needed (see above).
