Nope. And I hope the involved players are still embarrassed and also unable to play sponsored roles in Tuluk 4+ years later.

Uhh.

...What...
Case: he's more likely to shoot up a mcdonalds for selling secret obama sauce on its big macs
Kismet: didn't see you in GQ homey
BadSkeelz: Whatever you say, Kim Jong Boog

Eh... Honestly people like to make jokes and shit, but stories like this remind me how incredibly childish and immature a subset of our playerbase can be. It also reminds me how many players seem to be in it for the sexual roleplay and not much else.


I really like to believe the staff now isn't anything like it was four years ago, to allow something like that through character generation makes me wonder why the hell we even have applications.

They probably figured it would be a good lesson for the player in question, as I think they expected the playerbase to more or less hand their ass to them over being an f-me furry, instead of having a threesome with a pair of sponsored roles.

Sometimes things have slipped by staff that are terrible to have in the game (read:  furries); this became less common after we developed stronger guidelines on mutant roles and just made a point to stop that sort of nonsense.   Strange approvals still happen from time to time (though on a much more minor scale) where we miss a name or concept that is fairly well-known by some folks in the real world, and depending on its immersion-breaking nature, we'll step in and fix it (or hope like hell they die to a scrab or never log back in)--in our defense, we approve nearly 3 or 4 times the amount of apps we used to approve before voting pushes and the new website; we're bound to miss the occasional thing.  In the mentioned case above, the mutant should not have been approved and the whole thing should have been sent to the scrap yard with a judicious reply of "really, this isn't that kind of game, you should never make a mutant furry sort of thing, and if you resubmit with minute changes we may as well tell you to try another game."  However, it wasn't, and we see what we got.  Unfortunately, the issue was compounded by other players disregarding their own documentation for their region...and additionally hiding it from staff by neglecting to report it.

That's why it was unpleasant on all sides.  Someone had to grep logs to prove it happened, then send that to relevant staff (it had occurred weeks prior without notice).  Clan staff then had to review everything:  isn't the setting in Tuluk explanatory?  The answer seemed to be "yes":  a few assumptions were made that simply were not backed up by documentation, even some documentation that repeated the case over and over.  In the end, the choice was made:  either way, the characters would've been executed quietly had they engaged in such behavior.  Storage was done instead because we weren't going to bother roleplaying out a response to something that absolutely should not have occurred--something that was also omitted from any communication to staff.

Now we have much better guidelines on sponsored roles and we make it very much more clear up front that nobles in Tuluk aren't nobles in Allanak.

With appropriate roleplay of course.

That makes me feel better. Thanks Nyr.

There's no need to be nasty about it.







I admit it guys it was me.

We need to bring back the fur. Behold the fur revolution.

I think there's plenty of reason to be nasty, imo.  :P

NOT THAT NOBLES IN ALLANAK WOULD DO THAT EITHER!

(with a furry, I mean. I hope.)

The young daughter has been filled.

em sensuously flicks her tail about %pale.skinned torso

As someone who played a character who had to flee Tuluk and got assassinated for letting her noble kank her right at the change over who didn't know that that shit wasn't allowed (the sponsored role DID know btw) I have only one thing to say:


I'm taking an indeterminate break from Armageddon for the foreseeable future and thereby am not available for mudsex.

In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.

I hope there was lots of purring and maybe some retractable claw action or whisker petting.

Just imagine the terrifying mudsex if Arm.2 hadn't been a hilarious pipe dream and those cat-people were a playable option.

We dodged a bullet on that'n.

Just when I think I've seen the strangest the GDB has to throw at me, I stumble on the thread about threesomes with cat-girls.

Niiiiiice.

This thread has just become my favorite.

Was it actually  you, or are we doing the Sparticus thing? Cause I've always wanted to do the Sparticus thing. I was kinda figuring I'd do it over gas passing in an elevator, but that circumstance just never seemed to arise so I'll take this.

Arma 2 cat people were more like upright lions than anthromorphic cat-people.
