  • I actually withheld a vote till I felt that someone was suspicious. I don't see that as very pushy.  I am pointing out inconsistencies in Aryanne's story that make her suspicious. Further, I have been encouraging discussion because that benefits Tow…
  • @Toz - I can totally see it as a legit strategy for an experienced player. It's implausible, not impossible, and sometimes implausibility is a fantastic shield. At pres…
  • You said, "I always hate nolynch on the first day." That's a -really odd comment- for someone who has only played one other game. 

    I was all set to buy into your explanation, but now you are ringing too many bells. You were also asking us…
  • I'm not ready to lynch anyone yet. I have quite a few suspicions but I think we will benefit from a bit more discussion before rushing someone. 

    Aryanne said first that her rationale was because she didn't realize she -could- PM, then add…
  • Piper -has- been awfully quiet. And I don't hear any zoo excuses. 

    Though I definitely agree with Llok being suspicious. He has been pretty loudly proclaiming his experience with the game. Sometimes the easiest way to hide is to do the th…
  • I certainly agree with Aryanne. Others spoke up whose words definitely should have been examined more closely. Vharen provided a solid reason for his change of opinion. 

    Omei is also pretty dang smart, but perhaps a little too quick to la…

    @Everyone: Who is somebody in real life (alive or dead) that your ch…
  • Well done, Omei. Ya'll bounced all over each other while I was trying to make my dang computer work. 

    Def. in agreement with the confirmed boss plan, especially since we can keep Omei protected. 

    For the time being, I…
  • @ Moirean - Oh man, I totally understand that initial 'Oh god, these are REAL PEOPLE' moment, because I got my text-game start with text adventure games. The first 'other people' game was a space oriented MUD, where I still was mostly interacting wi…

    @Everyone: Let's assume death was permanent for a moment. What would your character want as their last meal before the big sleep? Last words…
  • Toz is stirring up too much dissent for flimsy reasons. Clearly, he's trying to deflect attention towards anyone but himself.

    Vote: Toz
  • I have played text games since I was a kid, so I have like..23 years of off an on text gaming under my belt. I started with IRE about 10 years ago at Imperian, but have -always- had an interest in Aetolia. They seem to have a pretty solid RP communi…
  • I played a drunken card game with my former roommates and both Vharen and I ended up covered with bites and scratch marks. Egyptian Ratscew. Which I was later told is not usually quite so -violent-.

  • File complaints with your nearest humgii. They will deposit them with me straight-away. 
  • Consultation was her suggestion, not intervention. Consultation applies a subtle pressure that should prevent the need for intervention, and ensures there is no excuse for -not- comprehending the basic expectations of org leadership.
  • There's nothing wrong with the admin poking in every few months, glancing over structure (which takes minutes) and discussing it with leadership. That's certainly not too taxing to suggest. 

    Given the really sad state of some of these gui…
  • Explorer requirements are tremendously irritating, particularly for a new player. They serve absolutely no purpose. 

    Writing assignments should not be required at all on a novice level, they should be one of an option of tasks post-novice…
  • This seems like it'll be a lively game. 
  • I personally love writing options as advancement opportunities. Guilds -should- be offering thematic options that cater to different play styles for advancement. Social folks can engage socially, writing nerds can write, combat folks can figh…
  • I don't want to make a whole forum post about it, but I would be TOTALLY in favor of some method of porting character value to new games, even at considerable loss of value (as mentioned in the ustream).

    I also would very much like to see…
  • Folders for the crafting designs, like the message folders. 

    DESIGN FOLDER CREATE <folder>
    DESIGN FOLDER LIST
    DESIGN MOVE # TO <folder>

    Maybe even be able to declare a folder preserved …
  • If I go to IronCon next year, I will absolutely be bringing Cards Against Humanity, because I can think of no better crowd to play that with than a bunch of IRE gamers.

  • Potentially not losing something awesome because of several months of serious depression. 

    People giving me new board game ideas (<3!).

    The fact that I am more than halfway done with summer.

  • It had moved beyond any useful purpose, Hadoryu. Everyone was clearly rigidly situated in their beliefs. All the useful points on either side had been made, multiple times.

  • Nobody is claiming that you must get consent for literally every engagement in this game. 

    The request is for consent when you are intending to potentially foist really intense themes on someone unexpectedly. This takes no time, does not …
  • Even though I appear to strongly disagree with some pretty well-known players here, I love that the RP courtesy thread is occurring, and is being discussed with a some level of maturity and thought.

  • It's pretty clear we are going to have to agree to disagree, so I'm going to hop off this train of fail. 

    My point: It takes a moment to inquire with someone prior to engaging in intense RP, costs you nothing, and prevents emotional fallo…
