No. No, no, no - to all of this. "I can't be bothered to?" I would love to have a few hours to sit down and work out code or offense. I said *right now*. As in, I have an assignment due tomorrow, another due at the end of this week, a…

Uh, yeah, the combatants on our end gave up after being hopelessly outnumbered 20 times too many, and most of them have fled to other muds/other games. For I while I protested, but it's really not fair for me to do so when logging on …

You gotta love the idea, though, that not only does our side have 5 people to send against Tarken, but one additional person for each member of Glomdoring or Celest or Gaudiguch that show up, so it'll be "even". I mean... Jesus. If we…
Professor assigns a project where we have to come up with an original experiment(which none of us has done before for this program), find our own sources of malware to download, do the test, and write a paper on the results in 2.5 weeks.

Depressing thought, but only true for some people. I didn't enjoy "winning" when no one was even trying to compete, and was just as close to quitting the game before I quit Glomdoring. Frustrating as it is losing all the time, I at le…

This is how every conversation about this topic starts. I'm tired of pretending that three-quarters of the game must live in their own isolated pocket of reality. I just don't believe you're this clueless, sorry.

I have 11 alts, spread across 5 orgs, and am unable to engage in the level of self-deception necessary not to notice this trend. But by all means, someone do an official study so that you can then protest the means by which the data was col…

I want to agree with this, in the sense that, thematically, I like Serenwilde. But... come on. If I were so newish that I didn't understand how this worked, I also wouldn't be trying to contest for CL. These are all questions that cou…
I will say, on 2, I don't see any reason why this couldn't be done via tells/messages, as most of the time it would only be done between two people. Same with 3.

There may a need for ooc clans for that reason, I think the arguments about it have been better than those made for allowing any ooc clans for any reason.
Outside enforcement is best, imo, but if nothing else, I hope people…

Yes, I think you are oversimplifying the argument by stating it this way, as those of us opposed to them have given many explicit examples and arguments as to the harm they cause, none of which you have addressed here.

Again, still more personal and accusatory than it needs to be. Of course the admin are aware of it, I give them credit for having eyes and being able to read. The reason to quote those snippets would be to say, "why don't we enforce t…

This really doesn't need to be made personal, and definitely not about Serenwilde. The question is: Are the ooc clans actually a good experience for new players, do they really encourage better/worse rp, and are the benefits for them(…
Combat is only motivating when it isn't ridiculously one-sided for long periods of time. There are already people getting tired of the endless slog of seeing no reward for their efforts, and leaving for other games. Increasing the amount of one-side…

Not going to argue about it because there's no way I can, not playing in Mag, and I've seen too much evidence to the contrary elsewhere. I'm not picking on anyone here, but no one is perfect.
Perhaps each quest could store all the relevant information on the last person to do the quest that Saran mentioned, and you'd be able to choose at the start of the magic org ritual/sciency time thing which one you wanted information about. If all i…
