SoI

It's time for all of us old-timers to come back!

Happy belated Mother's day, Frigga!

Getting a new computer finally with enough space that I'll even be able to install the damn thing, as well as run it at top graphics, soooo... I may be considering playing it. I participated in beta and was incredibly disappointed but I can only resist TES for so long.

I keep trying to get back into it but it's so hard. School is out for the summer though so I might make another go of it.

It's tragic to think of how many amazing settings SoI has had over the years. Even on the topmudsite forums to this day, people fondly speak of SoI before it's closure for the revamp. And people are less willing to contribute time, because virtually all of the work put into Angrenost was for not- A...

I really have to emphatically agree with the people mentioning making newbies feel welcome. I can't stress enough how frustrating it is for me as a "new" player, with extremely limited free time, logging in hoping for some decent role play only to be absolutely ignored by people who already have the...

Not so impractical, really, as long as you're happy.

Thanks guys.

I miss you!

Alcohol.

And by that I mean drink it. Eventually you'll forget all about your paper cut!

Even if a female warg were to somehow rise to a position of prominence, the reaction wouldn't be automagically accepting and equitable. There IS going to be sexual bias, that's kind of unavoidable when you're discussing what is basically a patriarchal society. Does that mean that I support inequalit...

But that would also mean only that particular female would have breeding rights. That's bad for survival, and female led warg packs are probably few and far between because they just can't reproduce fast enough that way to hold out against other, larger packs encroaching on their turf. That's actua...

I can't imagine someone actually being that eager to engage in warg rape. Then again people prove me wrong time and time again.

But it really is a fantastic doc. I'm not usually seduced by the other side but this has become tempting.

Damn it I missed being on this list by 12 days. BS!

A silver Kia Forte. It is the girliest looking car and I am totally okay with that. The tires are going to kill me in all this snow though.

Transparency, I say again, is a beautiful thing. Everytime I've seen it implemented properly, it's only improved the MUD for the majority of players. I guess I haven't seen it properly implemented then, and of course I'm old and bitter and less inclined to give people the benefit of the doubt havin...

Notes should be a place where other admin can look and get a feel for what kind of player that person is That is a fallacy ! It's not, really, because that could apply to good things as well as bad things. The whole point of pfile notes is to give a player some kind of history in terms of what they...

See we just need to create a niche of people who play at odd times haha. I work third shift for example, and so on days when I don't also have class I'll be playing from 7AM CST until whenever I feel like sleeping. Of course it means that in the evenings I'm always in bed when everyone else is loggi...

Ha! Same reason I came back, someone bugged me into doing it. Of course I'm still working full time and going to school full time so as much as I love this game it still might not work out... sad face.

I know my opinion doesn't hold much sway anymore, but I'm speaking from my brief stint as an admin on the last game: I don't think admin transparency is going to make any real kind of difference one way or the other. The people who are going to cause problems are still going to cause problems, the p...

Ditto. I can't believe how much has changed in five years.

Congrats Frigga!

Nyneve you need to come here and help me graduate school too so I can finally play with you again. That would be ideal. Especially since we have the same major (I think).

And I know I said it already but SUPER DUPER CONGRATS!

I tried getting back into things but I'm struggling now, what with school and everything, plus some bad initial experiences. I think it's just because I play in rather off-peak times. I might give it another shot soon though, once I catch up on all the school assignments I haven't done yet.

Nyneve is my hero.

I was looking forward to this game a HUGE amount, and I have to admit to being a bit disappointed in it. I guess I expected more of an RPG element to it, more world-depth, etc. I dislike the fact that there is literally no way to save a game or even go back to a checkpoint, that every death has a co...
