HOW'S THE GAME?

HOW'S THE GAME?

It's been awhile! It's time for another round of Game Discussion, also known as "How's The Game?"

Here we come together to discuss the game, its plots, the settings, and just about anything we can think of that we'd like to talk about, expand upon, improve, change, etc.

This is not an HMD for players and their characters; this should be about the game's function as a whole and not the people in it. If there is something you feel is absolutely necessary to address that involves a specific person, please IM a mod first to discuss it. We can be reached at terraqueous orb (Kayla), end title (Fudgey) or a great fanfare (Jenn). (Though Jenn is on hiatus right now because her laptop is broken, so Kayla or Fudgey would be best for right now!)

Anonymous will be left off for this round (see first section).

Here are the sections that we've come up with. Add your own and we'll edit it into the list.

Anonymous: Why is it turned off?
What do the mods/helpers do, anyways?
How is my activity being monitored?
Activity check changes
Applications/turnover rate

How's The Game will now be held quarterly, in order to avoid excessively long stretches in which there is no outlet for discussion.

Agreed. In fact, I saw a comment once about Crowley being 'asexual' in the anoncomm. The book...never actually says this 'they're sexless unless they make an effort' is the exact turn of phrase, and that's talking about angels anyway. Now, being an asexual myself, I...found that really insulting, because asexuality is not about 'making an effort'. But as it was in comment about a lot of different character relationships, I got the feeling it was more a rant about 'characters being in relationships'.

It DOES happen in real life, and we're talking about a lot of people being trapped in a world together, often for YEARS. They have traumatic experiences bringing them together...stuff happens. It shouldn't be treated as a taboo if you want to play that sort of thing. I personally ALWAYS have a warning if anything R or above is going on in any of my threads/logs, because we DO have younger players, and Crowley and Sister's journals are both marked for explicit adult content, just in case. But really, if you put warnings there, then what's so bad about it?

And yes, to all the rest. Just because sex doesn't turn into TRUE LOVE FOREVER doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Negative CR is good to have too. It can be JUST as fun as positive. Crowley and Faith had a one night stand during Christmas kisses last year, and me and Kat had fun having a few awkward conversations between the two after it. No big love or romance planned. It's not a Disney movie, after all XD

...Is it sad that however many times Sister gets mentioned here, she's been celibate for over a year? Sob.
