Discussion of Changes to ArmageddonMUD

[Iiyola]

Thirteen pages, and I'm still laughing.

I'm facepalming mostly though

[Cutthroat]

The new website is too sexy to comply with the new family-friendly rules.

On a more serious note: I said this in another thread, but I'm actually really excited about the idea of a new player chat channel.  I feel like if we want new players to remain in the mud, the onus should be on the current playerbase and staff to reach out to newbies, not the other way around.  Many times, a newbie does not even know they need help.  I think Armageddon has come a long way in this regard (the comm chat system for example) but I still think the in game ooc channel idea is great.  

The community of Armageddon is amazing, but the setting is harsh and unforgiving, and having a helper right on the spot to answer questions from the first login will help a lot of new players, I think.

Please don't be part of any kind of joke, Newbie Chat Channel!

Why does everyone have to declare their knowledge of an April Fools prank every time one happens? You're supposed to be kayfabe so those who don't realize get tricked.

I agree.  The Staff need to have their fun too.

[Kevo]

On a slightly related note, it is now April. Continuing to vote, would continue a trend of IG awesomeness.

[Case]

oh fuck this shit. Like seriously, people mudsex, it helps with characterisation. People swear too. It's pretty shitty we have to do this whole 'think of the children' crap in a world with rotting corpses everywhere, offscreen paedophilia, people murdering each other...

whatever, I'm burnt out and was just coming back, but I shouldn't have bothered. Not going to waste my time with this crap.

[Jingo]

Just move on Case. Unless staff turn over this new policy nobody is going to even be playing in a month.

R.I.P. Armageddon

Calma mi hija. Pretty sure that staff are joking about the whole PG thing. Check the new website. I think that is the only change they are introducing.

[Namino]

Anyone who wishes to show solidarity with Is Friday and myself can adopt the official Masturbation Coalition protest signature.

[Scarecrow]

It's all a joke.

It was posting in March.  It's not a joke.

[Scarecrow]

The person who posted it, posted it on April 1st in their country. Seriously...this is a joke. I knew it was a joke three minutes into reading it. Pikachu is on the login screen today, and some of my skills are listed as "lolzor" and "peachy keen". It's a joke.

[Kismetic]

I still snicker when some of my stats are oblierating.

You are bad at the internet and humor.

[brytta.leofa]

I'm too busy hanging out with my actual girlfriend to read all the posts here but I feel this is an overwhelmingly positive direction for the MUD.

What's the problem with "maiden," though?

[Eurynomos]

I went out of town. And I come back to this. WHAT. THE. HECK. I'm calling my union rep.

I edited a post in this thread for profanity, as staff should really know better and should work harder at setting a more PG and newbie-friendly example on our boards.

It's not easy expressing yourself without falling into the trap of vulgarity.

[Eurynomos]

Sorry, guys. I'm packing my bags. This PG *bleep* is just too much for me. I was raised in the veteran school of hard knox. I came from a dying breed of gamers that I see have clearly overstayed their welcome. See ya.

I know, but I am looking forward to the very positive change in direction that the MUD has taken.  If you need people to go through and help edit profanity, please do let me know.  I feel I can add a very positive Christian touch to this MUD.

Hm. Looks like we just got a vacancy.

I like this thread because it identifies all the gullible people who play the game for mudsex.
