No. And I’m not gonna buy one of your d@mn (Insert Product You Tried To Advertise By Using A Seemingly Legit Question To Get The Comment Approved That Included The Address Of Your Obvious Sh1t Website) , either.
A very logical conclusion.
“Kirk: Evaluation of M-5 performance, it’ll be necessary for the log.
Spock: The ship reacted more rapidly than human control could have maneuvered her. Tactics, deployment of weapons, all indicate an immense sophistication in computer control.
Kirk: Machine over man, Spock? It was impressive. It might even be practical.
Spock: Practical, Captain? Perhaps. But not desirable. Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them.”

Hey Linda Cutts, remember this?
It’s even better in context. You know, how you promised with tears in your eyes and emotion in your voice that you would NEVER EVER EVER let me go to prison? How I was alone and lost and you begged me to trust you, and I asked you if I could because I was so desperate for ANY REASON to not feel ALONE, and you said yes, and I asked if you promised, and you said yes? And how you said you would BE THERE, absolutely, no question, period, to make sure I NEVER went to prison? When I was my most vulnerable, terrified and horrified, how you promised me that? Remember? I do.
Wanna know why I have horrific trust issues, or why I wake up flailing and screaming in the middle of the night at every replayal of what you did, then and before then? Have a listen!
I think someone should make a ‘Human Centipede’ parody called ‘The Human Minutely-And-Inconsequentially-Altered-Human’.
In this film, a human would be kidnapped and then, unbeknownst to them, a very minor and trivial thing would happen to them before they were returned, without their knowledge of what it was.
Say, one strand of hair being cut. Or maybe a fingernail nicely buffed. Or perhaps a gold star on the forehead?
The possibilities are endless, and THINK OF the number of sequels!

Well, 12 of course.
Unless I wanted to be slightly obscure, in which case either 1, 13, or 121.

2) NOT THE BEES!!!!

I mean, I think most of the stuff by Misery Signals is wretched, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the beauty of “Worlds & Dreams”.
You know, like…give it a chance. Like alt/indie artists want their music given a chance.
How do I know this happens?
I can SEE.
I thought about switching my third “category” of my online radio station to “Goth” just to piss off people who would listen to some of the music and say “THAT’S NOT GOTH!!!!”…but I decided it’d be better to keep the freedom of “Freeform”.

10/16/16: FAIR USE: CRITICISM – Good clip from a great movie. (housekeeping)
Entry One: As I move through this strange new land, I find myself slowly becoming accustomed to the habits of the natives. I was surprised at first when I discovered that everyone here likes both ‘Amelie’ and ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’…but I’ve come to accept, if not fully comprehend, it.
Entry Two: Cursory examination of the landscape itself reveals apparent lacks of genuine substance in areas dubbed “fourth down the list” and “seventh down the list”. These areas appear, to the best of my estimation, suitable for occupying space between the other, more solid areas. As such I assume they are necessary, though I am at a loss to explain why or how they developed in the first place.
Entry Three: I have performed some basic testing on the natives. My results are shocking – though admittedly this is a VERY small minority, some of them have answered “Yes” to the following questions:
1) Would you sleep with a serial killer?
2) Would you date a cannibal?
Or perhaps the actions are reversed, I admit I am a bit shaken by the results. However, this does lead me to a conclusion that is very similar to the innovative ‘Penguin Experiments’ conducted many years ago:
These people score poorly when compared to primitive human sub-groups like the Bushmen of the Kalahari, but better than BBC Programme Planners. The clarity is devastating.
So…”ideal date”…I don’t get that.
I UNDERSTAND…I just don’t get it. Like Michael Stipe and “this fame thing”. (My periods are above the normal laws of English).
Everyone knows, deep down inside at least, that the answer to this question in the basic, expected sense (dinner and a movie, meet for coffee, meet for tea, meet in the middle of a rubbish dump, etc…) is VIRTUALLY meaningless compared to what you’re REALLY thinking/feeling when you ask/are asked that.
Which is: “Who gives a sh1t? The most wonderful situation would be ruined by the wrong company and the most mundane, boring situation would be vastly improved by the right company.”
It’s a cr@p question. It’s part of the charade…I mean, noone CARES about half the stuff on a dating site. It’s trivial and unimportant, put there to fill up space between the things people actually DO care about.
Which would be: What do they look like, how do they think, how do they “feel”, what do they believe, what do they want…you know, things that actually really matter when it comes to compatibility.
The rest is, in comparison, meaningless.
It’s the civilization of dating/mating; a way to make it easier for shallow people to find each other, and for non-shallow people to weed out the shallow ones. Nothing more. (Per JJ: ItMoM, JT)
It would serve just as well, but be considerably more honest/less subtle, to simply have (apart from the necessaries described above) a section labeled: “Write whatever you want:”
That’s what people are looking at. Noone cares what your favorite food is, not REALLY. They want to see “you”. They want to see how you present yourself. At least, I HOPE most people are this way…it would be sad if someone actually messaged someone else MAINLY because they both like the oxford comma.
So if you see a profile where they skip the BS and just get right to the point, it’s not necessarily because they have nothing to say. It’s not necessarily that they “don’t care”. It MAY be because most of the questions asked are deemed unworthy of lengthy answer, since they essentially don’t mean a d@mn thing. Therefore, to not answer is a legitimate means of expression.
Or, they just don’t give a sh1t. Too close to call, really.
BTW…why the fck does everyone like ‘Amelie’?
Of course, they shouldn’t give a fck about this.

If you’re ever talking to someone and they go from intelligent to borderline insane (or are in flux between with destination obvious), don’t panic. Oh, and HHGTTG is vastly overrated. But I digress…don’t panic, just pretend you’re on the Enterprise and you have Spock there just in case and they’re saying “Colleagues…” (Or “Seminars…”, or both).

You introduce them to each other, at first they’re a bit shy, clumsy, staring at their shoes. But you can sense there’s something there. So you cut and paste a little bit and by the end of the song you can spot them in the corner, holding hands.”
2) “Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion.”
1) “Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent.”

No review of roleplay.
This is a MUD that heavily “encourages” you to PAY-TO-PLAY after you’ve played a certain number of hours…if you don’t, you eventually show up on a list. What is this, ScarletLetter MUD?
I mean…it isn’t the pay aspect that bothers me. It’s the fact that you don’t necessarily FIND OUT about this until you’ve invested some time in the game…therefore making it possible you’ll like it (or hate it, I have no idea) and THEN find out, thereby making it more likely you’ll pay.
I just don’t agree with that.
I won’t mention the MU(x) name, since I didn’t actually play it…just a quote here:
“Brambling pages: you will need to think about the other things, and then justify it in the questionnaire. You are making a STARTING character…”
Apparently, it’s not appropriate for a STARTING character to be “very good” (4) at something they’ve practiced for 21 years…there.
Well…in my subjective opinion.
and ON, and ON, and ON…

*SATIRE…SATIRE…SATIRE*
Regardless of other factors, I give what is, in my opinion, a COMPLETELY accurate assessment of roleplay quality…one unbiased by current favorites, current moods, current storylines, urgings to post reviews in exchange for Quest Points, urgings to post reviews in exchange for a pat on the head, friends I wanna suck up to IC, friends I wanna suck up to OOC, friends whose feelings I don’t wanna hurt…and so on. I mean, you know I do. And you know you don’t.

Oh, for any interested TI players that might read this and that “heard” Anna play, here are the inspirations for the three songs she played (not including improv, short performances, etc):
1) See previous post, ‘Noon’
2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWV6dcv21c8
3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxgfNUYP9XY
And here’s the one I was working on:
(leaving out certain parts, with extreme variations)
And thanks for the memories. Great Party! :) (Seriously).
At least Moxie’s one note revelation saves Anna the problem of deciding which Noble House to be the Court Bard of.
Ok, so ‘The Inquisition: Legacy’ is moving rapidly up the TMC top 20. And probably rightfully so. Visiting recently, I found almost every player and Imm friendly, helpful, and pleasant.
The roleplay is, as with any MUD, varied. There are some people that do it very well, there are some people that do it very badly, and there are lots of people in the middle. I would add, in TIL’s favor, that – unlike say…oh, I don’t know…FK – they actually ARE Roleplay-Intensive. Roleplaying actually IS required. You have to actually play a CHARACTER. So, at least the mediocre role-players are mediocre roleplayers PLAYING CHARACTERS as opposed to say…oh, I don’t know…mediocre roleplayers doing a hang-out chat on a MUD, with nametags required to differentiate them from one another.
So I recommend TIL. And you know me…I’m a fairly harsh critic. If you like roleplaying (and can deal with the setting, of course, which is based on Medieval Inquisition-ish times) this is pretty high on the list. It’s not ‘Armageddon’, but…it’s high up.
It’s improving, too…both codewise and player-base wise. Not that more players means they’re all BETTER…but the more there are, the greater the chance…etc.
However, I don’t think I’ve ever had a reaction, from another character, in character, that was as incredibly, mind-numbingly stupid as the following:
“”Do you have more than one string on your viol, miss Dalton?…I am no musician, but I am confident that a musical piece should have more than one note played at varying speeds.” Moxie Von Demuregan says, drumming her fingers on the table.”
This is after player writes ELEVEN PARAGRAPHS describing how the song is NOT all the same, edits them AT LEAST a dozen times, and makes them as COMPLETELY EVOCATIVE as possible.
I mean, Moxie…did you even read the descriptions? Or did you close your eyes after the first paragraph? And also…are you intentionally trying to play a completely moronic character? Because if you ARE, then…well, I stand corrected, and you’re doing brilliantly. Otherwise I just…I mean, if you’re playing a character with above-moronic intelligence, you shouldn’t play them as moronic. That’s just bad form for an RPI, RP-Enforced MUD.
AT LEAST four other people (I’m being conservative here) read the same text and said, basically, some variation of “That was absolutely beautiful”, “Words can’t describe it”, “That was Heavenly”, “Amazing”…the list goes on. Oh, and many emoted having their mouths drop open, staring in amazement, being on the verge of tears, etc. So, ummm…I think the problem here is one player has no fcken clue. I mean…there are BLIND PLAYERS on TIL that can read better than Mox.
Instead of eleven carefully-written paragaphs (the length of which player of Moxie did NOT complain about…they made it clear it was the “just one note”) I probably would have gotten a more positive reaction if I had typed the following:
“pmote plays a note.
pmote plays a different note.
pmote finish.”
EDIT, 9/8/15: To those that say: “Well, anything’s okay if it’s IC” my response is this: Any SUBJECTIVE response IC to another character is one thing…a response that ignores A SPECIFICALLY STATED FACT is another. You can’t just pretend something happened that didn’t, didn’t happen that did, or speak in gibberish in terms of your reactions to other characters, cuz you feel like it. Unless you’re playing an insane idiot.
I mean, I know music is subjective…but some things are just OBVIOUS…like, if you listen to a 5-piece band play and say you only heard one instrument…and you don’t have a hearing problem…you’re quite clearly…something.
Here’s the song I describe with ELEVEN PARAGRAPHS to get her response.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc6e8NOswOg
I think you’ll notice, after the REALLY long intro (I started at around 2:23, so skip til then…Given 6 paragraphs), there appears to be a slight change in volume and sound (at 3:03, given 4 paragraphs…1 paragraph was the fading sound). Maybe that’s just me.
EDIT, 9/10/15: The volume of the call-and-response is actually a combination of the parts at 2:23 (softer) and the parts earlier beginning at 1:10 (louder, harsher), and then even louder, each(!) note(!!) more distinct(!!!) as it grows. Just FYI.
I think this is the proper response to Mox’s judgement:
Of course, this is ALL just my personal opinion and/or satire.
Ummm…judge for yourself. And play more than one note, d@mnit!

“It has great technical skill, but its reaction to emotion is

“Hah. That’s a laugh.”
“Frasier: I’ve been observing what’s been going on over here and I have something to say.
Sam: Listen up here, Woody.
Frasier: Do you realize that in the course of the evening, Diane has made 17 errors in the areas of grammar, etiquette, and statement of fact?
Diane: Frasier, your pedantry is insufferable. And you suck eggs.”
Per my previous post, perhaps this applies to me as well :(
“Frasier: I’ve been putting off telling you something, but I feel I must now. You’ve been using the word “really” far too frequently. In fact, it’s become really noticeable. It’s really quite maddening, really.
Diane: Frasier, I know you’re disappointed that I didn’t accept your invitation, but I really– I don’t think that’s any reason to get on my case.
Frasier: “Get on my case.” What a charming bit of slang.
Diane: Frasier, nitpicking at my choice of the correct modern English does not make you any more attractive to me. If that’s the purpose in your visits here, perhaps you should find another tavern in which to bore the life out of the clientele.”
My theory is as follows:
People who use swear words every other word in conversation are like people who use the word “like” every other word in conversation. It like really gets like sort of like droning and like after like a while people just like sort of like tune out like the likes, and like they just like serve as like placeholders between like real words.
Or, as I state elsewhere:
“Expletives lose their meaning when employed constantly.”
