Is Friday started a positivity thread a while back. It has not been posted on since March of 2013, but I thought it might be a good moment to start a new one.

What are some things you like about the game today? Not -just- code or plots, rather any of the positives that keep you logging in day after day.

I think the Tuluk shrink is great. It has made the city more playable yet kept all the flavor of the place.

Good role play with some really good role players makes the game a lot of fun for me. I love getting caught up in my PC's story and watching him/her grow as a character and I don't mean just skill wise all around growing. PC's start off in one manner and depending on situations and circumstances change. It's fun to watch how they change (for the good and the bad).

Through my PCs I have a pretty nice "list of accomplishments." Sure, a lot of those accomplishments aren't quite what I intended, but I can definitively say that there were consequences to my actions in the game world and that's cool. If it was a lifeless box, or a chatroom filled with players without staff coming in now and then to kill me then that'd be a lot worse, I have to admit.

Pretty much what you two said.  Also, learning the secrets of the world and adding your own touch to the world.

Man I posted a positivity thread? I used to not be jaded?

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

Depends on what I'm in the mood for.

Sometimes it's to solo-play, explore, and chop mothafuckas up with bone swords, especially after having been heavily involved in lots of plots.

Sometimes it's the inverse... especially after a long stint of solo-play.

I like that the game offers both options, and you can mix it up however you like, for the most part.

Best game on the internet, and constantly becoming the best game on the internet.

I find awesome PCs everywhere I go. I keep planning my next PC and it will be impossible to decide where to play.

This game helps me satisfy my social meter, a la The Sims, on a near daily basis. Its kind of a decently sized social hangout where you meet new and different people all the time, except if you hate them you can always just make their life miserable.

Also. (Master) skills. I'm so good at Sirihish that shit is -always- Next Level.

Would have to be somewhere other than where your current PC is playing.

I almost always play in the same place, haven't had any problems, to my knowledge, of my PCs becoming friends with my old PC's friends, although it has happened, it wasn't like I sought it out, and it actually happened after an IG month or two, and maybe just one or two. Usually my PCs differ from eachother enough they end up enemies with my old PC's friends, or my old PC's friends are dead by the time my new one would have a chance to be introduced to them.

I love how grimdark this world is. How awful and transparent the awfulness is. And I love to log in and be a factor to it.

Disarming gith doesn't do shit for me, sadly...

I love this game for many reasons. The main reason? You guys. This community is about one of the best I've ever come across. Also, it's pretty damn fun to kill people and things with bone weapons.

It would likely be nice if more people did this. If I see one more lantern-jawed mound of beef, I'll scream.
