I still think the best closure you get in Armageddon is just moving on to the next character.

I'd say that mudsex helped me more than anything else to finally get the hang of a lot of the less commonly-used emote targeting symbols.

I think Yam reminded me recently of a character of his that had cocks tattooed all over its face.  That's all the mudsex I want in my game.

Ah yes, back on the mudsex slice of the hate wheel.  I'm also on the 'why do you care' wagon.  I feel like whether I chose to roleplay a relationship or play out the sex scenes is none of anyone else's business.  Relationships and sex are a huge part of the human condition, and they can be a huge part of a character's story.

Just try to picture Game of Thrones without the sex. 

Also the whole less people I have to interact with idea... I don't buy it.  In my experience, people generally drift toward private rooms when there aren't other people around and other things to do.  Anyway, they're logged into the game.  You can contact them.  They're far more interactable than if they just logged out.
Agreed.

If someone gives you the run around for a RL month, I'd imagine they are gonna fade. Otherwise, you'd likely get:

That reminds me, is "elves having orgies" a thing? I remember when I started playing a long time ago that I heard in game that elves supposedly had tons of orgies and were polyamorous more often than not. But now I am thinking that was just a comment in respect to the elven characters in game at that time.

The longer I play the more it seems that anything goes besides the obvious cultural rules (only high borns can get married, interspecies hankypanky is bad, humping gickers is bad).

This game has become puritanical. 

Since when is MUDsex a bad thing?  I used to MUDsex.  I enjoyed it!  Eventually I got bored of it, but this wasn't a good thing.  My fantasy life is poorer off for this.

If people are having MUDsex, good for them.  People play this game for different reasons.  Trying to chorale people into playing the same way that you do is not cool.

That's all well and good but:

When you're in your late 40's/early 50's, and sharing the equivalent of text porn with a 17-year-old kid, it's not good. It's creepy.

And...

When you choose to fade, and your character's boyfriend dumps your character, and you find out it's because you prefer to fade, it's not good. It's creepy.

This thread's amazing.

Anyhow, what I will say is this, I've done some longer relationships with people on an IC basis where faded and then others where mudsex. Usually, the second one does add further dimension to the character. Honestly, sometimes the mudsex can be troublesome, and it can be just the same old thing other times. Sometimes, that isn't the case though. Sometimes, there's an assassin in the room, and he wants you to disrobe as well. Stop leaving all your armor on you and fading so you never die, dammit.

My overall thoughts, mudsex is a thing. It's neither good nor bad, but quite a few on the GDB do seem to suggest it's a 'low' thing to do, or attach some negativity to it. Which is stupid. Everthing in Armageddon is text on a screen meant to entertain. If you weren't entertained by text on a screen, you wouldn't play the game. Don't judge them for sex on a screen as an implementation of their personal desires, if you're torturing and murdering on a screen. Cause that adds some weirdness to what's going on in *your* head.

To add some seriousness, I do think this is a thing.  There are the sex and the sex-nots.  And the sex-nots who ftb will sometimes lack that "sex as a weapon" angle, because some folks are looking for real wank material.

Woe is me, right?

This thread lol.

I agree with Lizzie and just found out I might be a lady in her late 40's/early 50's.

It's all right. I prefer the 'weapon as a weapon' angle, anyways.

I don't look down on mudsexers, though. It takes a certain fortitude to spend that much time, getting detailed about something so specific, while having to use Armageddon's emoting syntax for it. It's actually a little bit impressive.

Fade to black for me has less to do with prudishness, and more with laziness.

To be fair though, that puts you roughly in line with having been a nerdy person in your twenties/thirties when the game really started, right? Which isn't so bad. Then again, my Armageddon timeline is lacking. Either way. I do think people should do their best to mitigate any reaction to IC based on the OOC dislike of fades, if that's a thing for them. Acting different, without reason on an IC basis for the OOC differences found in fading or not is poor form. That still extends to acting like the fact people mudsex makes them any lower than anyone else. That'd be like poking fun on 40's/50's year old people playing a fantasy text game entrenched in violence and corruption.

Mudsex is hilarious.

But honestly, if I play characters, I like to play them like they're people, and people tend to like relationships and sex so it happens sometimes.
