Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck anti-vaxxers. My son is in high school. FOUR kids in his grade got measles last year. I know it doesn't seem like a huge number... but goddamn. All it takes is one. Just one unvaccinated kid to start an epidemic. Thankfully we're in an excellent school system and the nurse caught all four of them right away, sent them home immediately with notes, had talks with their parents, then sent out an email that afternoon to every parent alerting them of the small outbreak and what to watch for, just in case.

I play this every now and then! I'll have to check out the new season, see what's up.

SimpleMU will always be my favorite, but I too traded to Potato for the colors. Man do I miss the easy spawns, though.

Tolerant Simply Legumes

Here's my chosen brand for lentil pastas, they use a single ingredient, have a decently high protein content, with a mere 1 gram of sugars... they do have 53 grams of carbs, but as mentioned, its complex carbs and at least some of it falls under the dietary fibers. Its worth peeking into anyways!

@sparks It was amazing. I brought my commoner to the Assembly and I can't say I've ever had so much fun in an event that my character couldn't even really speak at. The surprises, the reactions, everything was just so fun.

Let's not remove the upvote button because the alternative will be upvote gifs. And I will use them.. hard.

@selerik I played briefly on FC's Mage sphere. Butters was one of the people I enjoyed running across. And to think I've been running across you on Arx all this time and didn't even know! XD

@selerik BUTTERS!!!

@thenomain The human kind. Honestly? I think we're all more critical of each other on the forum than we normally would be. I don't think there's any one particular reason for it, either, its just a thing that happens for a number of different and changing reasons. I think we're also more sensitive in this forum than we would otherwise show to people, ultimately for the same different and changing reasons. Keep working at it, its really all any of us can do.

@alamias Welcome back!

@ortallus I have to agree with @GangOfDolls . Having prepared spaghetti squash a number of times... the consistency and flavor is a terrible substitute for pasta. And it pairs horribly with sauce and grated cheese. >.>

@GangOfDolls I've found lentil pasta works really well too. I've had the best luck with red lentil pasta, though the black bean pastas I've tried have turned out pretty well too! I can't say I've ever found kelp pasta, but I am SUPER intrigued. Do you know have a brand you favor?

@paris Monkfruit sweeteners tend to be either liquid or powdered. They tend to have directions on the bottle when they come in liquid form.

@admiral Fire Emblem is very much an RPG, though. It even promotes itself as a 'tactical RPG'. The story in it is amazing, the lore throughout the world, even the composition of the party tends to look like a D&D group of one flavor or another. And obviously yes, I would highly recommend it.

@snackness Jael! We still need to get Jael and Elsa together to plot some horsetimes shennanigans!

@faraday Conversely, if people can't handle some constructive criticism (and I don't think you can call anything I've said acerbic or hate-filled or even derogatory) then they probably aren't the people that should be running games. I made my initial observation and left it at that. I even qualified it by saying that was my observation but to take it with a grain of salt. You've been the one continuing to harp on people being negative and dragging it out further.

But since you mentioned it. HorrorMUX is a retread of Lovecraft, they're the same game by the same people. And neither HorrorMUX nor Stranger Things were high-magic, which was my point from the start. Not the urban fantasy. High magic. That's what people have been wanting lately. Welcome to the only game other than Arx to advertise magic for players.

@tinuviel I'm trying to leave the WoD games out of it since they've been pretty quiet on that front. I'm mostly looking at equable games. And the only other high fantasy games I can think of are Arx and Ithir. Ithir hasn't been advertised or really even talked about (until that one guy complained about it), so its smaller numbers are expected. But people have been waiting and wanting a high-magic, high-fantasy setting for awhile now, and this is the only other game that has that.

@faraday Yes, look at them. How many of the advertised game are a new alternative to the high-magic setting that people have been craving (and not getting) from Arx? Calaveras, which is I believe the only other actual new game to open recently (Horror MUX is just a retread of Lovecraft) is a no-magic soap opera-ish type of game. So not likely something that would appeal to the playerbase that's been salivating over Arx's long-awaited magic system. shrug I'm seeing this at a glance after two days, its not that difficult to notice.

@faraday I'm rather surprised that anyone opening a game right now would think that they won't get a ton of people. We are, and have been, starved for new games for some time now. Arx has been the only real 'major' player in the game for at least a year, maybe longer. Why wouldn't anyone expect a flood of interest in something new and different?
