@Auspice said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
I want these things. So I keep reaching out and I hope someday they'll be able to do so in return. Maybe.
You've reached out but have you ever actually said as much to your mother? Explicitly? From the sound of it, he's a lost cause but she might be persuadable.

I find this more of a feature than a flaw. The obvious focus in Werewolf 2e is the hunt. The Tribes dictate what you're best at hunting, and the Auspices dictate how you go about participating in the hunt. It limits concepts in that there really aren't any wolves that don't hunt, but I think that's part of the game.
Not really disagreeing with Gany so much as just using this as a jumping off point for the post.
I don't see a need to make a werewolf that fits the tribe like a hand in a glove. While the auspice is your nature, the tribe is chosen. And yes, there's not many of them. Which means that there's going to be werewolves in those tribes that don't fit lock, stock and barrel.
Maybe they have a vendetta against the chosen prey but don't really buy the tribe's philosophy that much. Or they feel the philosophy really fits them but are ambivalent about the prey. Or maybe it's as simple as they just have a bunch of friends in the tribe, much like someone who only goes to church on Easter when it's expected but is drawn to the social aspects of the community.
They'd still hunt. That's what werewolves do. But I'd think it's rare that a mere five tribes will appeal perfectly to every werewolf out there. There's probably more outliers than poster children while most fit somewhere in the middle.
Some are saying it's an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery. But what does a former president know?

Don't like what OR's trying to do? Cool. I don't really care, because you're not the person that I want to engage in conversation with.
Ok, bye.
Engage me, instead.
Wait...
Maybe we need the rules posted on this site.

Very regional.
Yes, it's a question on those tests you take to determine where you grew up.
Just as an FYI, we'll shortly be transferring the game over to Ares.
@Macha Grief is natural and expected. You don't have to stop it. Just feel it. You're allowed. It's not bad. Bottling it up doesn't make it go away. Just the reverse.
As of 8/18/20, we are now using Ares.

So, again, I propose that we move the conversation back to Optional Realities, and the subject matter of our October content share.
Here's an idea, perhaps you should do just that. And by that, I mean you should do JUST that. Only talk about OR. When you read a post, assume it's being written with the best of intentions and the purpose is to debate OR and the content you posted regardless of how you interpret it. Only answer those comments that directly pertain to OR and the updates you post.
Don't whine about being attacked. Don't attack back. Don't jump off that bridge just because someone else jumped off it first. If you want to get the conversation back to OR then converse about OR. Stop playing the high road card then take the low road in the very next post and whine 'But he called me names first!; It's bullshit.

I love Reno but to me it's the same, there is no driving force to lead story.
I'm just starting to have fun on Reno. But I'll say this: it was work. I've rarely seen a game so newbie unfriendly. Finding RP was near impossible to begin with. It's still difficult with the majority of the player base.

@Warma-Sheen The trick is to set a date once you know it can be met. When I initially started, I wanted to have research done by end of January. Then we got ahead of schedule, and I was like "Maybe by April" but then it became clear we could make it sooner, so I said it then.
What you should have done was multiplied by a factor of four before giving the estimate for opening. Then you'd be considered a miracle worker for opening so soon.
Damn it. I don't know what to play.
