Who's fun to tag?

Re: FUN TAGS

[(Anonymous)]

do you mean fun to tag as in engaging or fun as in funny? or both?

Re: THISAVROU

How OC friendly is this game? I hear good things but mostly thirdhand

[(Anonymous)]

It's been pretty OC friendly but I think that will change with the next round.

i fucking hate this event

it matters to almost none of the current character roster and feels like an excuse for the old players/MCUs to get angst while everyone else plays background.

9 days of invasion? from a bunch of refugees? it's just stupid writing.

Re: THISAVROU

i like finding out that actions taken now can affect the game several months down the road

Re: THISAVROU

It's interesting in that it feels like it might go a couple of different directions. with the majority's characters normally trending towards violence, a massacre is the most expected outcome but icly it's the worst possible route. will the caducans leave the crew alone when they realize we have a rotating roster? will that just incite them more?

idk i think it's good of the mods to bring in actual consequences to in game actions on a large scale, especially since it's not an immediate fallout like most games tend to do.

[(Anonymous)]

It's boring to me. Unoriginal and hastily done while they tried to make it look planned all along.

Re: THISAVROU

[(Anonymous)]

there aren't nine days of invasion dipshit. the post said that before the mod update even went up. learn how to read before you bitch about how poorly written something is.

Re: THISAVROU

[(Anonymous)]

lmao but okay how the FUCK do the mods intend to enforce the "intent to murder" rule. Anyone with half a brain is going to fucking lie about it, whether it be IC or OOC. Say someone plays Bimmy and he's pissed at Jimmy and wants to go kill his ass, but he doesn't say this out loud. Doesn't hint to it in any way. He just shows up at Jimmy's crib and beats the fuck out of him, but then changes his mind and no killing happens. How do the mods know this wasn't just a scuffle? Bimmy and Jimmy's players both deny that Jimmy was out for murder, so how are the mods supposed to prove that Bimmy had murder on the brain?

make murder against the rules all you want, that's reasonable, but for fuck's sake don't try to micromanage your players.

sa

*both deny that Bimmy was out for murder

fuck double dragon too

Re: THISAVROU

[(Anonymous)]

i could be totally wrong but i figure that the point is that bimmy knows that there are ic consequences to murder and so would hopefully know that his intent isn't to kill but to pick a fight and that would be done by the players not the mods. the impression that i get from this is that it's to try and curb the "this character kills another character for drama" plotline and actually isn't going to be policed closely.

but once again i could be totally wrong.

Re: THISAVROU

Amazing. You can here to bitch without even reading all the mods' answers to questions.

Re: THISAVROU

[(Anonymous)]

I'm guessing the mods expect their players to be mature adults and not to be complete pissbabies constantly trying to skirt the rules because they can't bear the thought of their character not rubbing their murder boner.

Re: THISAVROU

Just had a couple questions since I'm shopping around for a game. I like the setting and look of this one but I've heard it's blown up in size in the past couple months.

What's the pace like? How does it change between/during events?

If I'm someone who can only do a handful of tags per day, am I likely to fall behind? Do people generally backtag, or will they drop threads if they're not being boomeranged?

Are logs or network threads more popular?

(And also since I guess it's kind of relevant lately) for anyone that's been in the game for a while, what sort of tone can be expected after all these murder rules? Is it more exploration, or humor, or slice of life in space, etc.?

Re: THISAVROU

[(Anonymous)]

The pace is what you make of it. There's an event at the beginning and one in the middle of each month. The events are take them or leave them, and you can do as much or as little as you want.

I'm slow tagging and people backtag and I've always had fun. The beginning of the month is usually busier because people tag to get threads started sooner.

I've noticed logs and networks to be equally popular. Though the first event log is usually the most tagged.

I've been in game a while now and some players pushed the focus to murder plots, which has nothing to do with the premise. There's a lot of complaining going on right now because it was cut out and the mods/players are trying to find the best resolution. Tbh, it'll all blow over when the crybabies stop whining and let the mods adjust to what is most wanted. I've been in about eight months now? And every time the mods have altered something, they've listened to their players and done the best for the majority. This just has a lot of attention because unfortunately every big game will get wankers and whiners and people that can't keep calm and be mature.

As for the tone, it'll be what it was originally before characters began murdering each other. The events range from horror to scifi to humor and players can involve themselves in whichever they want to most.

Re: THISAVROU

the current tone is "everyone is butthurt about the rule change, except for the people that are butthurt over other people being butthurt". i say avoid the game until the mods pull their heads out of their asses and learn to properly compromise.

and by that I mean it looks like the mods just want this to be an SOL in space game.

Re: THISAVROU

[(Anonymous)]

so does anyone know if the mods are actually reconsidering the rule change or not?

i heard the line about stepping back to let things settle but can't tell if that meant 'we'll take some time to think over the arguments and get back to you when shit's calmed down' or 'we'll give you time to change your feelings because we gotta be ~firm'.

if they need time to decide what actually went down that's fine, but if the captains announced they're policing thoughtcrime as of monday i'd expect more in game reactions by now.

They've made it a lot more reasonable now

Re: THISAVROU

[(Anonymous)]

this might just be sour grapes from a member of team negotiation, but iiiii think im going to be sitting this event out. it's already a flimsy premise when most of the current crew wasn't even there when the planet exploded, and this situation in which our nine days of planning just went out the window for a generic fight log is rubbing me entirely the wrong way. people in our group took this seriously, and everything we tried to do was evidently brushed aside for a handwaved "no matter what you did you failed, now on to the exciting stuff!!!" sort of sentiment.

stuff this. my character won't fight a battle that isn't their concern anyway.

If I knew that voting for combining the plans would result in something that ditched everything interesting about the individual plans, I wouldn't have voted that way. The idea that the players had any effect on this outcome is bogus.

Our negotiation team still gets to do everything we plotted.

tbh i understand why it went this way

if negotiations had won, then the away team of like, what 10 people? would get to do a fun thing while the rest of the game sits on their hands watching

doing exactly nothing themselves

fun shit

Re: THISAVROU

I think we can all vaguely agree the event could have been handled differently. A lot of fun ideas, with some cringey execution.

Not to mention it's a weird tonal shift to the mods trying to lighten up the game.
