Recaptcha is "off," according to my settings, but I'm pretty sure it's an LJ thing that it'll come on anyway once we hit five thousand comments.

Enjoy!

Meme, I am disappoint: A fantastic player in a game I mod came to me with a really cool idea that I had to shoot down because our gameverse just doesn't work that way, and we couldn't figure out a way to tweak the idea to fit in. I recced her a game that the idea would work better in, but she's scared of other games. Thus the cool idea will probably never see the light of day and just collect dust in my AIM log. :(

[anonymous]

Aaaah, that really sucks. The only suggestion I can give is to alter it to fit it in, but you already tried that. :\

What kind of game and what was the idea, if I may ask?

[anonymous]

Intentional vagueness on the canon and the details - the canon doesn't get a lot of play, so giving it would give away my player and/or my game.

The idea was a creative way to nerf her character. The character's powers are tied to items, and the player wanted to scatter the items throughout the gameverse upon bringing the character in. It'd make for great plot fodder for a whole range of characters, be it the "RAWR POWEEEEEER YES" type or the "I'm a little weakling, I wish I was stronger" type! But alas, that is not how nerfing works in this game; abilities and items are powered down or outright removed rather than moved elsewhere. So I thought the concept of scattered items of power might work better in a game like Bubblevoid what with the way the gameverse takes on aspects of a character's canon, like the gameverse would look at her items of power and go "what is thiiiiiiis" and scatter them, or go "cool story bro!" and sprout its own all over the place.

I wish I could see my player do it some day. :(

Vagueness is fine! We're all trying to stay anon here. :)

That does sound interesting. You can't power down the items and scatter them at the same time? Or maybe even turn it into a mini-event thing, whoever finds the items gets the powers, but they only last for a week or something like that.

Hey, anyone have a list of new rp-related comms that were discussed on zenmeme?

I'm kind of hoping findacast and musematchup go somewhere. I know there were more, but I forgot to mark them.

[anonymous]

Shit, it's muse-matchup

[anonymous]

I want muse_matchup to go somewhere so hard. *A* I just suck at giving suggestions, so I can hardly help keep it going. D|

Seems to have kind of died.

MUDKIP ANON FROM ZEN-MEME. YOU DESERVE AN INTERNET.

[anonymous]

Nah that goes to FIRST anon who snagged the last comment.

[anonymous]

they deserve a dozen internets, amirite

[anonymous]

Thank you! ♥ I'm happy with my one internet. The rest of the internets can go to the FIRST (last) anon!

[anonymous]

I love when an event makes me look at my characters in a new light and realize something about them that I hadn't before!

[anonymous]

'Sup Anontalkers.

With the anonmeme (hopefully) two weeks away, what's your favorite kind of treat to be snacking on while the wank is exploding left and right?

I personally enjoy a bag of Haribo Goldbären while I watch the trainwreck.

[anonymous]

I feel like the only one who doesn't snack while watching anon meme. I look at the anon meme over doing chores.

[anonymous]

Surprisingly, most of us are not nearly as productive as you, chore!anon. :(

...I work nights, so I'm guilty of keeping the anon meme open in a tab on my work PC (thankfully, the last few have fallen on days when we've had a really light workload and the bossman was fine with us dicking around on the net) so I guess... Coffee is my meme snack of choice?

[anonymous]

But I would much rather snack over the meme than do chores. :(
