This is Heidi Siouxsie
She actually has a leeetle white diamond chest patch but she is adverse to being still. Lily is unconvinced and unimpressed, but they are slowly starting to interact. I have had to sleep in the living room with Lily the last 4 nights so the wife could cuddle her new kitten in peace. Lil Siouxsie-sue is asleep at my feet and Lily-monster is asleep at my elbow, i have a moments peace.
@surreality He's a Pizza Cutter, All edge and no point.

@BobGoblin Yeah I want to dance on his gave. He wanted to end public schools, medicare, medicaid, social security, minimum wage, was a climate denier. And that's not just his beliefs, this is shit he actively funded.
It's not about his politics it's about the actions of him and his family over decades. Fuck the Koch brothers. Sure they gave away to 'philanthropy' but were also buying our politicians and helping destroy the planet. Death does not make people forget. He was like 4 captain planet villains at once. Don't fucking whitewash the damned Koch's
I mean if I caught a staffer spying on players on a game I was headstaff on, they would be shown the door. Just because someone CAN does not mean they should, and if they do they shouldn't be running a game.
Yes you should be prepared and careful about your DATA and MU's are def not the most secure things by a large margin but these arguments are super weird.
No, your game won't improve if you go traipsing around invisible spying on peoples private RP, Sure staffers have that power, but that doesn't mean they fucking should, now should players 'just accept it' Fuck that. This is about ethics of MUing not the ability to do whatever they want so you shouldnt have any expectation of privacy, You absolutely should, and these arguments about 'oh you are naive if you think you are private' sounds a lot like defending bad actors.
@Ghost I'd happily dance on the graves of many people in history. I am okay with the title of Grave dancer.
@Groth said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:
There exists astonishingly little historical record about what kind of hairstyles the 'vikings' used. What we know is that they used a lot of combs and there exists a few references to a hairstyle that's something like this Cossack one where the sides of the head is shaven and the hair falls over the eyes.
.
Ah so not dread locks, Devils locks. Easy to confuse.

they don't want to waste on-line time having to fathom some IC excuse for why they were absent.
Yeah, I really don't understand where this became about wanting a favorable outcome or not wanting to fail. I don't care about that. What I care about is being forced to come up with a preposterous explanation (I fell asleep in the crawlspace with noise-canceling headphones on!) for something that is an extremely routine MUSH event (someone not being online at the exact moment you want them).
This was actually a thing on HM from time to time. Did the big scenes where a Covenant's domain was attacked happen at 3 am in the morning for one of the political aspirants in it? "Where were you when we were fighting for our lives, you COWARD?".
Yeah, it's a douche move.
This happened to me in a Werewolf LARP I was in like 12 years ago. I skipped out one week and i came back to my pack having decided that i abandoned them on an important mission and were all douchebags about it. This was the trigger for me deciding to destroy their apartment, get them evicted (ICly ;p) and the fall to the Wyrm and betray them at a critical moment. Which was great fun.
If someone is OOCLY unavailable, never give them dickish consequences or treat them like an abandoner. They just had some Gandalf level shit to do and will be back whenever.
@Arkandel He was one of the best things about that show. This is dumb.
Look I know the 3 of us were camped out in this safe house and have NO LOGICAL REASON that we would ever not be there. Except that we had a sudden plumbing problem and everything is fucked and since I have an allergy to drinking shit water and wading around in backed up toilet I had to go an an emergency stealth mission to buy space-draino and water filters.
Just don't make assumptions without talking to the other person. These are supposed to be (IMO) cooperative games most the time.
I've now nearly finished with my third week of work after 13 years of getting fat and living off my glorious sexy library lady goth sugarmama. At the end of an 8 hour shift I am dead. I know, not a lot of sympathy but man my feet hurt. Also the panic attacks and forcing myself to wake up and get ready every morning are rough. Gotta wait to the prozac/rebull kick in, and even then I'm waking up 3 hours early just to smoke a bowl and have it wear off before work starts.
Boo Adulthood, that is all.

@Arkandel said in Core Memories Instead of BG?:
I agree. One of the mistakes people make is generate characters who've already done all the cool things in their lives before they ever step foot on the grid
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. If I see another BG filled to the brim with awesome events of awesomeness that the player just wants to brag about... I'm going to scream (I'm going to be screaming a lot). Get your accomplishments ON SCREEN, so that others know about them, you get to actually experience them, and others are involved in them, so -they- have reasons to bring them up.
On a more pertinent note, I love the idea of using Core Memories, and wish I had thought of it in time to use it on The 100 MUSH. But yes, I use BGs for the same purposes that @Sunny does: demonstrate an understanding of theme, match the story to the stats... and for one more: To prevent the AwesomeBGers from slipping onto the grid.
I third this. I just want to yell 'Don't App Bruce Lee, App the person who will become Bruce Lee! Especially if you only have starting stats, or close to it.
