It seems less about landlords and more about private property ownership

I don't think people realize how little a landlord actually makes if they are decent and take care of their buildings.

Also this probably belongs in politics or something.

I think a lot of places are like that, even if they haven't run out of tests yet but are trying to make it so they don't.

My state has a relatively small reported outbreak (142 as of yesterday, 100 of which are in a small geographic area) but have performed 3400 tests. That's a really small percentage of positive results compared to the number of tests performed and that's with only testing people that are considered Tier 1 for testing which includes:

• Hospitalized patients
• Health Care Workers
• First Responders
• Residents of nursing homes, jails, assisted living, large group living type places

Unless someone qualifies in one of those groups, the state CDC is telling doctors to make a clinical diagnosis. I know a lot of people I've talked to see only the number of positive results and think they just are not doing much testing, but don't realize that that they are actually testing 20-30 times that many people. There are a few other, faster testing methods approved, many of which use existing equipment that a lot of labs have on hand, but I am too far from the logistics of that process to know what the actual delivery time on those test kits will be.

The point stands though, if you think you have it, act like you have it. Follow the guidelines.

@insomniac7809 I'm missing something here. Maybe I'm over thinking it but I'll need this one explained

I've heard it's like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon. I don't know what either of those are either.

But got it for the spawn anyways.

@Auspice

Some basic definitions of thing would definitely be good to start. I think quite a few people just have no idea what some terms are when you throw them around.

noir? I know it's casa Blanca but couldn't really tell you anything else.

Diesel punk? See previous.

Two Fisted Tales? I know this wasn't on your game but another example of a theme term that I've never seen before and have no idea what it means.

Basically, don't assume your players have a clue. Runescryer gave a really good example of some defining things that I certainly wouldn't have know were thematic (if they are!)

Personally, I don't even know what dieselpunk is. I'd never really seen the term until your game and Savage Skies started using it.

I know steampunk is boots with cogs and watch faces on it.. does everyone drive a VW or something in dieselpunk?

And I think anything too time specific is going to be hard. "Medieval" is a broad range. 1930s? That's pretty narrow and a ways back. At least 1980s you can say that is basically modern but without so many computers, the internet and cellphones

@bear_necessities wrist flexibility as a stat

@reimesu said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

@Wretched I'll never understand people's fear of brown eggs. They're the best!

I've never heard of the fear of brown eggs. Odd. But around here at least they are 30-40% more expensive than white so tend to sell less.

Ask these guys?

turiel.wikidot.com - It's a 5E MUSH. I don't play there, no idea how they've adapted the rules, but it's there and been there for several months.

@Kestrel said in A bit of trouble on Firefly:

Is he trying to impersonate Mr Robot?

This. He's the type of guy that watch Mr. Robot, googled Metasploit and bought himself a black hoodie. He's a hacker now.

It does make me wonder.. The majority of MUers don't frequent MSB. I wonder what narrative he is spinning to other people about this.

@nyctophiliac yeah, but what was the name of your high school mascot?

@L-B-Heuschkel I'm not a doctor but you should probably get that checked.

@Ifrit that explains a lot. Definitely what it seems like.

I'm only half way through but I think Anthony Mackie is by far the weakest Takeshi. He's not awful but so far lacks the intensity the others have had.

I think Apos was on the receiving end of them, but he can speak to that.

He does seem to prefer to target the ladies though from what I have seen.

I would say that he is mostly harmless, just annoying to game runners..

To the players he harasses though he can be more detrimental. At least one MU player I'm aware of has/had a RL restraining order against him. Another probably would have if they were in the same country. Just be careful folks.

If it's the same prick from Arx then the obvious tell is using the name Remi and Zach McGowan as a PB. Has done that a few places.

Is that Remi from Arx and other places? That dude is one of the few folks I fully approve of a pre-ban off.
