Hellis said Why isn't this movement targetting IGN?

Likely because IGN doesn't write articles with the purpose of insulting it's following. They totally should target them, though, but it's the same as everything else. Ego>all.

Regardless, despite the collateral damage being potentially massive, you can't grow healthy crops on a poison ground. I think it is for the best in the long term if lessons are learned (pleasepleaseplease,) but the wake this whole ordeal left is a special kind of toxic now.

I really don't want to get into the debate any further because I feel debating this extensively is the literal equivalent of slitting one's own wrists and I like myself too much to hurt me. I'll take my stupid soapbox and leave now. Please don't make me hurt myself.

@amazon mission

How far are your collabs coming along? I don't have a huge amount of stuff to post about on my own, so if possible I'd rather follow you guys.

The Library

Yeah, prolly should... Before I get to her...

Legend of Renalta 2: Reborn

Here's a secret; it doesn't matter which strategy is the best, it matters what the characters will do. Hell, we're not even talking about rationality here. Because that's what's happening and would-have isn't a super useful topic.

Kad mentioned his characters mostly dismissed it because they dislike your character. That may not be the most reasonable motivation, but it's a totally viable action for a character, because here's another secret; characters don't have to be reasonable. It doesn't matter how optimised your plan of attack is if it doesn't garner any support. Sure, this might frustrate your character, and if it diminishes their chances of survival I'm sure that could frustrate you to a point as well.

However, and oh joy here comes secret #3, you roleplay with people who make their own decisions about how they write their characters and that's a good thing. I mean, otherwise the roleplay would be pretty fucking boring. Shit may go wrong. Dudes may clash and I sure hope we'll be seeing plentiful catfights throughout *cough* That's all part of not just good roleplaying, but also of a good story.

It's just raining nuggets of wisdom.

Brovo said maybe one for Esyllt (though due to conflicting schedules I might just tell Kestrel what would result in a scan),

Yeah that's prolly for the best.

Pretty sure it's the new guy/gal -whose name I've forgotten- for the Hive of Minds team. Else, it'll be my turn..

They haven't been posting in two months, so it's prolly best to assume they left.

The Library

Oh BTW, whose turn is it for everything?

Feminism as activism in an RP would be a niche, but activism in general would be as much as fantasy is. Unless non-violence is a niche, then sure, but simply removing violence from a lot of RP's would make them viable playgrounds for activism because it is a method to bring change. How is something this broad possibly a niche?

Furthermore. Your avatar as in fedora. Twice is recurring, it's not so much discussing the topic as it's referencing for the sake of explanation and yes, you're the victim here :/

Stop the person from spreading X idea. Judging from your avatar you should know all about employing censorship as a form of activism. Fire alarm ringing any bells? That was celebrated like a big victory. It can be a valid goal for an RP. Now make the facility guarded of some sort, and you have a goal and a challenge.

Likewise, not all activism is legal. Greenpeace, anyone?

If someone is going away from the plot to go on their own adventure, people will start ignoring them. The GM won't provide material. The player in question will be playing with their self. The problem isn't the character's ideals anymore, but about being non-interactive and no longer being an asset to the RP... Which really is something that will nearly always solve itself (either by the player adapting or dropping based on this feedback.) Still, that could be for any reason, not activism itself. It's not the subject of activism or the player being an activist, it's bad roleplaying.

Also the reason I call you a narrow-minded jerk isn't for having a different opinion. It's mostly for generalising. And the LOLFREE SUX-topic.

I could probably set up an interesting RP about activism. There is a lot of inter-character drama that will bloom so very easily with the subject, you just need to set the scenarios and bring in characters with a common goal but a different means to achieve it. Also you can throw in adventure, like stealing a ship to block a trade route or invading a facility to interrupt a speech.

As for your example... It's totally fine for a character to have the baby seals on their mind. I mean let's be honest here, not everyone is going to like everyone's characters. I know I've played with a couple people whose characters I wanted to hit over the head with a brick. But you know why I didn't tell people to change their characters? It's because I don't get to decide other people's characters for them. Your characters can get pissed, dump the Greenpeace freak for the mission or lock them up for jeopardising the operation, etc.There is that option for repercussions, sure, but you can't tell the players "Your character can get angry at X but not at Y because I want your character to act like Z."

tl;dr Stop being such a narrow-minded jerk. It's becoming a recurring theme with you.
