Quote* Due to complaints of a legal nature we will be shifting our game focus to ensure that it is a safer and more predictable environment for those concerned. More specifically we are declaring a moratorium on roleplay of a sexual nature. Relationship storylines may still be pursued in game but should in no way, shape or form involve extensive nudity or sexual interaction. Violence at the coded level is allowed but in depth torture scenes should be Fade to Black.
Oh, didn't realize this might have been a joke.

We will be tweaking the list of approved words for sdescs. For example the words 'maiden' and 'brute' will be removed from this list.
Curious to know, what is the list of approved words for sdescs?

I admin'd a MUD once where we tried to tell people to stop having mudsex.
I don't remember the exact numbers, but for the sake of example, if we had like 100 active accounts, after we had like 20. I think it's less about the mudsex and more about the perceived restriction of freedom to RP, maybe? I don't remember the reasoning behind all the complaints anymore. But there were a lot.

I strongly disagree with taking away roleplay options for players. This mud has always been a place where one could, essentially, truly play that extremely cruel and nasty dude and roleplay it out to make that awesome movie experience for people.
Consent Rule. I always thought this existed for those who did not want to see those sorts of things. If this changes I do not know if Arm will hold the same merit with me.
Thanks for the work on the other changes as I think they will be helpful.

The use of the word "noble" by any commoner in the game will now be punishable by death in Allanak and, in Tuluk, by death, by hanging, to result in death. But no one will see it. "Death," being the offender not being around anymore, "Tuluk" to mean anywhere in the north not associated directly with Luir's or the Tablelands, the second "death" meaning the offender is to be doused in oil and set on fire for the pleasure of any nobility who wish to attend the burning, and "hanging" meaning being torn limb from limb by that one really awesome noble pc who's been in the game longer than most of your characters if you haven't been playing longer than three RL years.
Descriptions of actual torture methods in Tuluk are IC.

I don't like global newbie channels. I left a game because of them.
I don't like limiting rp in any way, that's why I'm here.
If they don't want to rp sex, ask to fade, that's why there's a consent rule
If they don't want to rp torture, ask to fade, that's why we have a consent rule.
Why the fuck is "Maiden" and "brute" Not allowed?
Tell me this is an april fools day joke. otherwise, I am so vocally against 99% of these asinine changes it ruins the feel of arm for me.

It's the restriction on RP. I feel there should ALWAYS be consent. As many people don't want to do this. Or maybe only want to do it every once in a while. But it's a game, and most roleplayers don't want there roleplay to be restricted for asinine reasons.

I've been playing this game for a long time now. I remember listening my mother scream at me to get off the %##$@ computer, because it's late.
Now I'm 30, and have a wife and child. I 'grew up' with this game, and it makes me very upset that suddenly we're shifting to a PG theme. I've never
been one to enjoy sitting in a tavern, mindlessly chatting like it's some kind of soap opera. Some players love that, and more power to them. I like to
rp violence and struggle. I could care less about the sex roleplay, but some of my fondest memories are of my character torturing another, or being
tortured by another. My FIRST experience with this mud involved my character having her tongue cut out by a Templar and it's what hooked me to the
game and kept me coming back. I think you're making a mistake and while I'm not a lawyer I think you have less legal liability then any random porn
website on the internet for keeping underage children from seeing things they shouldn't or experiencing things they shouldn't.
Dislike. Very much.

QuotePG Definition -- "Parental Guidance Suggested. Some Material May Not Be Suitable For Children": The Rating Board applies this rating when the members believe the film contains themes or content that parents may find inappropriate for younger children. The film can contain some profanity, violence or brief nudity, but only in relatively mild intensity. A PG film should not include drug use.
This is ambiguous.
Is the intent to make the game in line with a PG definition?
That to say violence "only in relatively mild intensity"?
And no drug use as in a removal of one of the core themic elements (spice) from the game?
Oh... got me, if this is a joke, disregard, if its not a joke, see above question/concern.

I am reminiscing about how the announcement of Arm Reborn was announced around April Fool's Day and everyone was freaking out and not sure if it was real too.
I have no idea if this is a joke or not but if it is, this trolling is epic.
I once realized I was in an IG relationship and the person OOC was under eighteen. It was weird. Luckily we never mudsexorzed but still. I can see how sexual RP could have legal issues. I'd sooner see Arm be an eighteen plus game than a PG game. Not that I play anymore, but ya' know.

The mantis head has been deemed too scary for family audiences and will be replaced by a friendly Elkrosian creature. These creatures will also be introduced to the game and players will be allowed to catch them. The creatures will help their masters fight off mobs and gain experience. Additionally, the "Trainer and the Gaj" and "PokeSanctuary" will be introduced in the major cities to heal these creatures.

because this game world was built to be gritty. PG. Will force the removal of many echoes in the game, the strippers that add to the feel of certain places, the removal of spice, no one will be getting drunk. These changes would probably lose more people then they would bring in. so they are...

From now on, every time you idle for longer than five minutes, the boogeyman with long nails digs up out of the earth in your room, steals one-tenth of your soul and then leaves. This is to discourage being idle, which Adhira is allergic to. Now a few times aren't going to be obvious, but on the fifth time you're going to notice you don't particularly care for some of your hobbies anymore, on the sixth time you'll start to dislike the taste of cooked meat, and you really, really want to start groveling like a bitch if you're on your ninth or tenth time. Not that you won't be able to play anymore--- its just that, once you get there, you won't want to.

I don't remember the exact numbers, but for the sake of example, if we had like 100 active accounts, after we had like 20. I think it's less about the mudsex and more about the perceived restriction of freedom to RP, maybe? I don't remember the reasoning behind all the complaints anymore. But there were a lot.
It's the restriction on RP. I feel there should ALWAYS be consent. As many people don't want to do this. Or maybe only want to do it every once in a while. But it's a game, and most roleplayers don't want there roleplay to be restricted for asinine reasons.
Why are the reasons asinine? There are legal and moral reasons to do this and I would like to hear your description about why the reasons are asinine.
Looooooooooool
Moral reasons....
...in a game where beating a half-breed to death because they annoyed you, snapping a gickers throat just for being a finger wiggler, murdering a guy for his boots, mugging a guy for his pack, poisoning your mates drink for revenge, hiring a legal, santioned assassin to eliminate a rival, dragging someone into an alley and ganking them because they said something negative about the highlord...
...I'm not sure I want to say we should start changing things for -moral- reasons xD
Maybe we should get rid of this stuff too. It's unChristian.

Maybe not ticklesticks, but we should have less of an emphasis on violence and combat. We should remove all offensive skills except offense and defense. Let's reduce the amount of combat in the game, and make it a more roleplay intensive environment. It's not a hack and slash mud, guys.

Look at all the NPCs everywhere. That whimpering burned kid in Tuluk has to go...almost everyone in Nak needs to be rewritten!
Luirs ... Luirs has to go. There's just no way to reprogram our ideas about Luirs! It's woven into the fabric of our memories! It has a mattress in the damn (oops, darn) bar! Yes, Luirs must be swallowed by the earth. No, fireballs, that's better. Biblical. Hey, a flood! There's precedence!
A new call for a staffer position will go out, to specialize in policing for uses of the f-word; they'll do a log search every day, write out the chastising messages, handle all the irritated replies. This will be a full-time job. Better make it two!
Oh, my, I think poisoning will need to go away entirely. Backstabbing. Or at least the echoes made to be more...friendly sounding.

Quotehelp warrior
Warriors (Guilds)
There is only one calling which warriors follow: to fight, and perhaps
to die fighting. Although motivated by innumerable goals, there are a few
commonalities among warriors. In nearly all warriors there exists some
notion of honour and fairness, the rescuing of maidens from sexual
roleplay and often a vague conception of glory.
A warrior's skills involve only the many aspects of fighting. Every
warrior possesses an aptitude for all weapons, and can learn to master them
far beyond the meagre abilities of other guilds. Unarmed combat, expert
battle maneuvers such as disarming, the ability to hurl missiles, strategic
withdrawl, and the eventual expert use of bows and arrows are all part of a
warrior's skills. Some master warriors can learn to bandage the wounded.
Warriors are the easiest persons to employ. They are invaluable as
guards, soldiers, mercenaries, military advisors, outriders, scouts,
gladiators, or even as assassins and spies. No other guild can match a
warrior's combat prowess, and thus all warriors are much needed parts of
any clan or mercantile operation.
Master warriors are sometimes unwillingly and automatically nominated as
leaders of small armies, or as captains of tribes and outposts.
Notes:
Warrior is one of the three guilds that are _highly recommended_ for new
players to choose.

I actually like all of the proposed changes except the family friendly PG stuff at the top. I want to believe that part is the joke, but the rest is real.
- Limiting new accounts to human is fine. I say go a step further and make dwarf require 1 karma. Elf isn't so bad, since the racial barriers are severe enough that you can't play an elf like a tall, fast human if you tried.
- An OOC channel in the game for newbies and helpers is fine. Give people the option to toggle it off, and make it automatically disabled for people with 1+ karma who have not been flagged as helpers.
- Staff plots? Why not?
- Sdesc adjustment? Sure, it can be tweaked.
- I hate the clan forums and wish clan rumor boards were used, so I really like that one.

Can we also get rid of
-Lanky
-Slender
-Sinewy
It's been used too much and is HARDLY original anymore.
Just accuse anyone with these in their sdesc of being breeds. Not nearly enough accusations of apparent humans having elven parentage in the game.

I actually like all of the proposed changes except the family friendly PG stuff at the top. I want to believe that part is the joke, but the rest is real.
- Limiting new accounts to human is fine. I say go a step further and make dwarf require 1 karma. Elf isn't so bad, since the racial barriers are severe enough that you can't play an elf like a tall, fast human if you tried.
- An OOC channel in the game for newbies and helpers is fine. Give people the option to toggle it off, and make it automatically disabled for people with 1+ karma who have not been flagged as helpers.
- Staff plots? Why not?
- Sdesc adjustment? Sure, it can be tweaked.
- I hate the clan forums and wish clan rumor boards were used, so I really like that one.
Ok, I like the staff plots.

QuotePG Definition -- "Parental Guidance Suggested.

We've seen a lot of players trying to make "fair elven maidens" and "insatiable brutes" over the past few weeks. It really has gotten to the point where it's difficult to explain to them why this isn't exactly acceptable, even though the sdesc words are allowed. This is just the natural next step to help out those new players.
As for the roleplaying PG guidelines, this really isn't too different from how things are in Tuluk right now. None of this is allowed in public (violence and brutality, that is) and it happens behind the scenes. Moving that sort of thing to the virtual atmosphere is not too far from that.

It is bad enough that I, a pastor, have to deal with the misappropriation of the cross, Jesus' holy symbol of death and salvation, as a symbol of the oppressive brutality of Allanak.

Allanak is a digital Sodom, with Tuluk as its Gomorrah. The misappropriation of the cross is one step too far, it is a sacred symbol, and I for one hope that the change to the symbol of Allanak is added to this very amazing and well thought out list of changes. In fact, I'm going to go idea it in game right now.

Talk about massive overreaction. Even if we are taking the announcement seriously and at face value, nothing indicates there will be strict censorship of cursing. The only thing it says they want to stop completely is extreme torture and full frontal mudsex. That's hardly censorship.

Thankfully. I hope you will one day grow past the need for cursing, and will begin to speak and act as adults do. Hopefully other games will follow suit and society as a whole will move on.

Talk about massive overreaction. Even if we are taking the announcement seriously and at face value, nothing indicates there will be strict censorship of cursing. The only thing it says they want to stop completely is extreme torture and full frontal mudsex. That's hardly censorship.
Anyway clever ploy by Nyr to make sure the controversy kept rolling when too many figured out it was a joke too early. ;)
So we can still do it from behind? ???

You know, I raised a well-behaved, Sunday-school-teaching, high achieving kid.
I just didn't -let- her do things that weren't child appropriate. I wouldn't have let her play Armageddon. It would never have occurred to me to try to make Armageddon appropriate for -her-. I didn't take her to bars, or let her see R-rated movies when she was little. I didn't try to make R-rated movies go away. I didn't try to put child-appropriate rules onto adults who were not in family places. (I did once call out a guy for filthy language at a single-A baseball game and almost started a fight...but that place was full of children and meant to be full of children.)
I'm sure she managed some things that I wouldn't have approved of, but she wouldn't have had any misunderstanding about it, she would have known she was misbehaving.
I'd like to see Arm being an adult-only game but that's unenforceable. I myself am not too interested in playing in Storybook Land. After raising a girlie little daughter, I am permanently opposed to Singing Princesses (probably until some little granddaughter crawls up on my lap). There are games out there just for people who like that stuff.
I want a game that's aimed at -me-. Doesn't everyone? And there are so many games out there, I'm sure that's possible.
Censorship is -wrong-. We're writing a collaborative novel here, an epic novel. Nobody is making you read it. And if your kids are reading it, do a little parenting and stop them.

Thankfully for you, staff is protecting other daughters and sons from stumbling into filth like is present here in this game.
Surely you can see how an unregulated game available to children should remain as wholesome as possible? Or would you have been fine with your daughter sneaking into/getting exposed to something as awful as open rape, murder, and torture just because you didn't check every last thing she did?

I'm a bit uncomfortable with the cross as the symbol of Allanak too. I've decided that it's obviously not the Christian cross, and that makes it tolerable for me.
I think asking for the crescent moon to be used instead is enormously hypocritical, and unravels your entire argument. Such racism and ignorance casts a shadow on every premise you've put forth.
However, Maxid: As a pastor, you -don't- have to deal with it. You can go play somewhere else. That's what freedom is. Make your choices, deal with the consequences, and allow others to do the same.

Enjoyment of a game is the reason - as it was. I want the right to consent or not consent, not forced into that decision in order to censor for those that shouldn't be playing here.

I'm a bit confused about why some posters seem to be jumping up and down (or the discussion board equivalent) and fighting with other posters.
I don't think that games need to conform to personal ideologies, but rather people should find games where they feel comfortable.
At any rate, the ongoing argumentativeness is tedious. I'm hoping for moderation.

Other than the removal of consent for anything beyond PG, the Clan-Specific forums, and the OOC chat - I was pretty down for everything else.
These two additions would've blown my mind.
Quote
* New players will be limited to Human only for their first 2 characters. The armageddon concepts of dwarf and elf are not the fantasy norm. We notice that many new players have difficulty playing these roles. We will be limiting new players to the human race only for the first 2 characters in order to give them time to acclimate to our game before launching these more challenging roles.
* We will be tweaking our previously stated goal of running player created plots only. For the past 2 years staff have been running 'seasonal'plotlines where they have been allowed to create staff led plotlines within a set time frame. We will be removing the seasonal limitations and allowing staff to once again create plotlines. Staff plotlines will have the overall aim of involving players and advancing changes to the game world. High level NPCs will still be restricted in terms of animation time and reports to clans will continue to be made via the request tool as the primary method.

Considering the fact that for years, a vocal minority of the boards have been asking for staff led plotlines again, and staff have said time and again that it wasn't going to happen, this was one of those "Dem staffs so funneh" parts.

Nope. Allowing staff to be more conservative in their use of their power is actually a good thing. One staff member misjudges a situation, and suddenly a 2-year PC is pushing up dune.

I'm gonna hold off on voting or logging in until someone confirms this is a joke.
I know it likely is, and there are parts of it that leave me very excited but... all the staff run plotlines in the world won't do any good if there aren't players logging in to participate in them. And all the newbies in the world won't stick around for a world that's made PG rated with the tagline: "Murder, Corruption, Betrayal". It just wouldn't live up to the tagline at a PG rating. And then there's people like me who, although they get their fair share of action in real life, enjoy character development and being able to do so in an environment with as few restrictions on it as possible (aka the consent rules), but have no interest in reading only part of a book (not allowing the torture, violence, and sex that comes with such a harsh and gritty story so often).
While I think that the first 2 characters human policy would actually be a very good one for keeping newbie playing a role they have some idea of what they're doing in, I know many newbies would have less interest in such a lack of character creation options for race and it might keep them from actually playing, so I'm torn about that one.
I think that staff run plotlines would add a lot to the game world as they have in the past.
I think that a newbie channel would be helpful (providing those not interested could toggle it off), but again, the delivery and detail around it... not being able to toggle it off for a month after the first character's made, etc... meh.
I think if it's not a joke, I'm going to have to join the exodus of veterans who now have more active lives away from their computers. Even though, again, pretty sure it's a joke.

Quote* Due to complaints of a legal nature we will be shifting our game focus to ensure that it is a safer and more predictable environment for those concerned. More specifically we are declaring a moratorium on roleplay of a sexual nature. Relationship storylines may still be pursued in game but should in no way, shape or form involve extensive nudity or sexual interaction. Violence at the coded level is allowed but in depth torture scenes should be Fade to Black.
I can't help but feel the monstrous things going on in my characters bedroom are at least partially to blame for this.

This is a good point, but we aren't saying characters can't murder other characters, nor are we disallowing corruption, nor are we prohibiting betrayal.

The whole book is still there. It is simply Faded to Black. All of that is happening off-screen. The only restriction is in what is shown. The rest will have to occur in your imagination.
QuoteWhile I think that the first 2 characters human policy would actually be a very good one for keeping newbie playing a role they have some idea of what they're doing in, I know many newbies would have less interest in such a lack of character creation options for race and it might keep them from actually playing, so I'm torn about that one.
Well, newbies already have a lack of character creation options for race. They can't play muls and desert elves and half-giants. Restricting them to human only (the only other options being dwarves--which we regularly end up "shaving" in the editor--or elves, which have a whole plethora of cultural ideals to figure out--or half-elves, let's be honest, no one really likes half-elves) might limit their options, but they would get a chance to experience the world in a way that they'd understand. It's really important to consider the new player here.
Quote
I think that a newbie channel would be helpful (providing those not interested could toggle it off), but again, the delivery and detail around it... not being able to toggle it off for a month after the first character's made, etc... meh.
We speak from a lot of experience, having dealt with newbies quite directly over the years and having discussed this extensively among staff. We are well aware of what will serve them here. You'd be surprised how many new players just need a helping hand before they get hooked into the game.

I just got an email from staff telling me that I needed to cut the mudsexing out. Apparently, they're serious. They took a fucking karma away for it!
I've been mudsexing non-stop since the announcement though! Like, non-stop. Hardcore. Bdsm. piss, scat, vomit, you name it. Gotta get it all out of my system. No email yet!
It looks like the staffer that is in charge of monitoring this today typo'd your e-mail address. You can expect the e-mail shortly.

No way sister, my characters have been seducing and raping since 2001. To make matters worse they all fall in love with my characters, which of course show the corruption, they there is betrayal and I end up murdered. And it all starts with my characters seducing and enticing.

You cannot play anything BUT humans.
Breeds are not human even if they LOOK human.

What was the point in working so hard to bring in droves of newbies if it cost us the mud we all loved? I'm all in on the vote boycott until this is confirmed as a joke. If it's not... then I'm sure the player numbers after the change will reflect exactly what the vocal and not so vocal really think about the decisions.

Don't care if they banned mud sex and limiting people to two humans sounds reasonable enough, but I expect they'd just run out and die twice then get their scottish dwarf on.

Player retention is all great as a focus...but can't we focus on solutions to retain players to Armageddon...rather than changing what Armageddon is? Not interested in playing a PG mud...would rather the legal issues were overcome by not allowing underage players. Don't wanna RP with twelve year olds anyway. Not a good trade off.
I know I'm only one player...but if there was a vote...my vote would be on 'I won't be playing Arm anymore if all of these actually go though', not in some kind of tantrum...but just because it wouldn't interest me anymore - and I don't even mudsex.
Don't fix what ain't broke!

Godamn it, Adhira this karma docking isn't fair - it's only natural people would think it was a joke given the timing of the announcement. Would it be possible to appeal it or something?
I know ignorance isn't an excuse for rule breaking, but, to be fair, the documented rule list found on the game is still outdated. Alot of people who didn't frequent the GDB wouldn't be aware of the change.

Godamn it, Adhira this karma docking isn't fair - it's only natural people would think it was a joke given the timing of the announcement. Would it be possible to appeal it or something?
Please take your complaint of staff actions to an appropriate venue, such as the request tool. This is still Armageddon MUD, after all!

At the end of the day the staff have to make the decision on what is best for this game we all love.
This proposed version of Arm is NOT the mud we all love. Not even close. I for one will NOT be continuing to play if these changes happen and I -will- be very verbal about my discontinuing the use of this MUD.
I will be very sad to not be able to play with all of you.

I haven't read through this whole thread...but I'm going to assume that I'm not the only one that hopes this is an April Fools?
Player retention is all great as a focus...but can't we focus on solutions to retain players to Armageddon...rather than changing what Armageddon is? Not interested in playing a PG mud...would rather the legal issues were overcome by not allowing underage players. Don't wanna RP with twelve year olds anyway. Not a good trade off.
I know I'm only one player...but if there was a vote...my vote would be on 'I won't be playing Arm anymore if all of these actually go though', not in some kind of tantrum...but just because it wouldn't interest me anymore - and I don't even mudsex.
Don't fix what ain't broke!
I know I certainly hope it is. I think it is. But I'm not positive.

I remember once the staff posted a big long post saying that WOTC took ownership of the mud and wanted to charge us to play it. I call
Shinanigins on this one too. Though not quite as good as the WOTC but still highly effective.

As a relatively new player, I do not have the experience of years that many of the rest of you do. Much of the game world is still a mystery to me. But even with my limited experience of Armageddon, I have seen a flavor of gameplay not found in any other MUD. The sheer brutality is what has led me to fall in love with this game, for better or for worse, and I will be very sad if the changes proposed are implemented. I'm going to miss the public mutilation of breeds, even if it was graphic. I'm going to miss hearing old time Bynners swear in Allanak. I'm going to miss the spice trade. I feel that much of what makes Armageddon as incredible as it is will be lost if we do indeed switch to a more PG setting.
That said, these changes will create a MUD that I did not intend to play. That is not the Armageddon that I fell in love with. I would rather see it turn into a game for ages 18+ than censor it for the sake of a larger player base. In all honesty, I think the player base we have now, even if it is small, works well enough for the game environment. Why sacrifice the heart of Armageddon for more players?
At this point, I am going to join those of you who are not voting for Armageddon on TMS or TMC until this is confirmed as a joke. This new Armageddon is not what I have been voting for. I will not support these changes.

They would never, ever change the game in any kind of radical sense under the noses of everyone like that. Armageddon would fall apart like everyone is threatening. If they did want to make any big changes like this, they would discuss it with the player base first.

I'm going to wait a few days before I stop voting for armageddon. If I stop voting now, that will be like voting against waiting until april fool's day is over to reveal the joke.
Regardless of whether or not it's a joke, I'm not going to respond to the proposed changes, because I have fault with the way they were laid out to begin with.
Simply put, saying 'Everything about Arm completely changes. Now.' just doesn't seem to be the way the staff do things. Likely, more than one discussion would have been had about the changes, and they would have been implemented slowly.
I choose to delay my action, while the troll advances.
@Maxid - I had to google ad hominems, I have no fault with your argument, I have fault with your arument style. Mostly, I was tired and trying to think of something funny to say to make funny of you. (Which, by whatever means, I would not mind you doing to me.)

I think a good compromise would be: if you vote, you get teleported into a secret mudsex room where staff have sexy NPCs waiting to be animated. But before you're allowed to go to this room, you have to promise you're 18 or older. But I don't know if that counts as compensating players for their vote, which TMS and TMC don't allow.

If they're going to implement the city ooc channel, they might have to nerf the wilderness ooc channel a bit to compensate.

Staff has not come out and said that this is not a joke. That, in itself, if effective proof that it is. (Proof that will no longer be effective after I post this, I suppose. ::) That's what happens when one throws down a gauntlet.)
That, and the lack of change to "help rules" or "help consent." ;)

Me too, the changes are very reasonable as well. Sorry for the lack of posting but Easter is a bit of a big day for a Pastor like myself.
Anyway, nobody has yet given any solid reasons as to why these changes are bad so I continue to fully support them. If the staff would like any other help bringing the MUD around to a more Christian friendly environment for all ages then please feel free to contact me. I love this corner of the internet and am looking forward to these great changes.

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! :(

If this turns out to be a joke, I'm quitting this game. I just came back from a period of relative inactivity but found myself once again being driven away by all of the constant mudsexxx and profanity that spews from every single PC I walk past in the game. I found myself drifting away once again but this announcement made me so excited that all of the problems with the game were going to suddenly vanish.
To have that carrot dangled and taken away? What a hot pocker in the eye. What a vibrating, shivering meat shoved up my loose, quavering cavity. I'm out if this was all a joke.

I don't see what being female has to do with it, at all.
It's more about some people not wanting to give up all the adult content (torture, extreme violence, and yes, sex) and cheapen the game in exchange for a few warm bodies hunched over their keyboards typing >kill scrab.
Any kind of censorship in this medium is more likely to turn people off the game then reel them in.

Censorship is the wrong word. The game is not a publishing platform. In a MUD, once something has been said or emoted, everyone who was meant to read it has read it. Pretty much by definition, you can't censor it (without automatic filters of some kind). Yes, a big part of the game's appeal is the flexibility to roleplay any situation without constraints but those within the game world itself. But we already have certain OOC constraints anyway, so it's not like adding another thing or two to the list is that big a deal...
...unless, somehow, mudsex or extreme torture are core elements of why you enjoy the game. For those of us who see that stuff as peripheral rather than the main attraction, yes, it's kind of funny to see people overreact and make posts apparently equating graphic apartment mudsex with the game's core grittiness and difficulty.
Of course it's hard to tell whose reactions are serious and who is just playing along with the joke.

They're absolutely integral to the game to me, for no reason other then Armageddon is in a lot of ways the only place where 'it can happen', it being the entire gauntlet of the terrible and monstrous.
I think the biggest misunderstanding is people jump to assume 'graphic apartment mudsex' is the entire reason some people get riled up, but the impression I get is the people getting upset simply do not want to give up a scrap of what sets the game so far apart from others of the type. Every RP mud wants you think it's hardcore (heh), but Armageddon actually delivers.
From romps to cutting someones face off, I would not want any of it to go, for any reason.

I am still assuming this to be a well planned joke.
First because "PG Rating" Is simply laughable. I mean really...what, they plan on getting rid of spice or simply changing it to the arm version of an energy drink? Oh no, it is not drugs...gasp.
Secondly because things like "limited to humans" for any time is counterproductive to the statement of "focusing on getting and retaining new players".
If I would have been limited to human when I first started playing, I would have never started playing, and I believe that applies to a sizeable % of potential new players.
Then of course this "Murder, Corruption and Betrayal in a
Harsh, Post-Apocalyptic Desert World" Will need to be changed to this "Meanness, Frowning and light Bullying in a
Sunny, Post-Apocalyptic Desert World"
Then I will believe it.

oh fuck this shit. Like seriously, admins messing with us. I know it was April Fools (in New Zealand but ffs). It's pretty shitty we have to do every year when like half of it is true and we can never tell.
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.

You lie. ALL OF YOU SPEAK LIES. Not a word of anything in this thread is the truth. What is the purpose of living when nothing you know is real? When everything you see, touch and hear is fabricated by the impersonal laws of physics and, inherently, has no value, no meaning, just a hologram created by your brain to prevent you from going insane from the sheer emptiness of true existence.
Every second, you die, to be replaced by someone else, living in that body, thinking they are you.
Also I took your Cheetos, and you're not getting them back because I ate them. WHERE'S YOUR CHEETOS BREAK NOW

I tend to think the hubbub over staff plots is mostly a few bad apples in the mix of mostly genuine attempts at fun on the part of the staff.
However, I do think the staff could benefit from defining the given resources of a particular plot at the beginning, so they never start drawing stuff out their ass in a lack of inspiration. Plenty players do that, and it usually turns out ugly.

If people whine about dying during staff run plots and blame it on the plot - then they should play a different game. >.<

Did anyone really organize or participate in a MUD vote boycott because of changes announced...on April Fool's Day? Some of you guys handed out the laughs left and right, but the ones talking about boycotting were the best!

Quote from: Nyr on April 02, 2013, 07:37:23 AMI think it's "jokes" like this that will contribute to the mean spirited perpetuation of an elitist attitude this community has. The good thing is that I'll make lemonade out of these lemons and introduce these thoughtful, creative, and sensitive players to a non-hostile role playing environment where you know exactly what you're getting yourself into. Players will enjoy supportive and encouraging peers as they explore new exciting situations, positions, and safe words in Furcadia.

I like dying in Imm lead plots, it saves from the embarassment of mistaking that purple liquid for grape soda and getting a tummy ache.
