@insomniac7809 But then how will people know my pc got these tiddies?

Erry time I consider L&L games all I think of is Guillotines.

Powerposing is NEVER OKAY. Never. Under any circumstances.

Let me change that to 'Powerposing /without permission/ is not okay.' Sometimes in a scene I will ask 'hey, can I powerpose for a sec here' usually with a hint of what I want to do, or I am simply in a scene with someone I know well and I know where the boundaries are. Sometimes a bit of a powerpose will smooth things along rather than going back and forth 4 more times, and save another half hour of RP, so you can move things along.

Even on a MUSH — if a player doesn't RP with me, I'd rather our characters just not have our stories be more intricately involved than, 'Oh hey, yeah, that guy John, I've seen him around'. I don't want that player sending me a page assuring me that John has been giving my character lots of personal one-on-one time if we cannot actually RP it out. Otherwise, it's as dull as solo-killing a player who's offline on a MUD and calling that 'story'.

I'd like to express a small peeve here. I understand what you are saying, I totally do. I have also however experienced the other side of this.

Say your character and mine are in A RELATIONSHIP. You know, they hang out a lot, they enjoy bumping uglies and we have Rp'd this. However MUSH time is a tricky thing, and a scene that would ICly happen in about half an hour takes about 4 hours (to throw a random number out there) to Rp through. If, through the course of me Rping with other people being involved in plots and the like means we have not RP'd in a week, that does not mean you should assume our PC's haven't spoken or interacted in a week. Things happen in downtime.

The next time we Rp, if i get comments like 'Oh I haven't seen or heard from you in a week you jerk omg!' To hell with ya!

If someone you get your PC tangled up with cant meet your times, it's probably better to just say 'hey, it's not working out with our online times' than just assume someone is ICly ignoring/neglecting.

To Clarify, I don't think that exact scenario is what you were talking about, but man i have had this literal thing happen.

Last night I found out an old friend died. I havent spoken to or even seen him in ~15 years. We weren't even that close. Except for the fact that in the early months of the year 2000's, when I was near homeless, and he was just a stranger from a LARP group, he took me into his household with his Wife, and Child, and other friends. Through that I met a man who was one of the very few I invited to my wedding.

R.I.P. Vernon you glorious man, incredible DM and steampunk renfaire weirdo. There was much about you I aspire to be.
