Yeah solar was the wrong word, I meant just space catastrophe

also Rapture was just to give an example, there's definitely others (smiting, angel/demon war, immortal being rising from hell in a way that's somehow not a kaiju?)

but you specifically said rapture was the scenario!

wait how the fuck are meteors a solar catastrophe

and there are definitely more variants of religious apocalypse than Rapture

Exactly. That is the fear. Refugee status ending and facing persecution. I've stated I think they're wrong. You clearly think they're wrong. But that doesn't mean they don't fear it and it doesn't make them bad people.

Also seeing you of all people going with "a country did a good thing a few times" as a reason to dismiss them ever doing something bad later on is jarring.

so you're saying that have a completely irrational fear that's leading them to support policies that have no purpose but the published intent to hurt their own (former) countrymen

in other words, you're essentially defending them by comparing them to antivaxxers and antimaskers?

Something that bothers me for similar reasons is whenever people start complaining about the presence of tropes.

To be fair this sometimes comes from a legitimate place--like the pitfall of overusing common tropes is when the writer uses them as a crutch because they're too lazy to write their own characters/plot. But here the problem is that the writer is lazy and that there's no substance to the story--not that the presence of tropes is somehow a detriment. And then it feels like these sorts of complaints carry over to cases where there is substance to the story but the writers also happen to use tropes, or to cases where the writer deliberately uses them to tell a specific type of story.

I've seen people defend shitty writing by saying that "it's just tropes" more often than attacking authors just for using tropes, especially if you count complaints about tsundere characters being terrible

My response is that at some point you should learn that someone having an opinion or two you don't agree with doesn't automatically make them a bad person, even if they're actually wrong.

Or, to put it another way, you didn't have to attack Cuban Americans for your point to be right.

p sure he's pointing out the "i got mine" attitude we all hate, not them having views he disagrees with

notice how he's talking about expats who suffered and hated the embargo while living there, not your average neocon

I mean Cubans support the embargos for a reason. Many of them are or are descended from refugees. It's not like it's just lol they hate cuba

it sounds like that's exactly what that is...

People are going to be silly when given the ability to make choices. That is absolutely unavoidable in any scenario where you accept audience input, whether it be improv comedy, a CYOA, a DnD campaign, or even fucking polls. You can't deny silliness entirely without sucking all of the fun out of an event, and if you can't tolerate it at all (particularly when blessed with a workable name like "Juan" when it could've been so much worse), then do a project that isn't dependent on audience choices instead

Look at aforementioned ITD. They were very serious, very involved, complex CYOA games... and the people participating were still silly as all hell. Stupid names, stupid gimmicks, stupid choices. And yet Maria still succeeded at making her stories respectable. It's all an improv game; you have to work with the silliness, maybe let off pressure once in a while, and yet craft a story that people are invested in enough that when it actually matters, when shit gets real, people act responsibly. It's not an easy needle to thread, yet it is a necessary one

You might feel that people overreacted at you banning their name... actually, I just looked at the log and it was hardly a reaction at all, lmao. Anyway, plum had a point. From his perspective, the players almost universally chose a reasonably reasonable name, one that'd be absolutely trivial to treat with seriousness (unless you think the name "Juan" is inherently absurd), and you shut it down, as the first decision in the entire topic. The issue isn't merely that he, and presumably other players, were afraid that you wouldn't be ok with their humorous choices... but that you wouldn't be ok with their choices in general.

You have to have mutual respect in these games. Respect the players, take the weirder things they do in stride, work with them, and they'll in turn respect the game and work within the broader bounds you set and not drive the whole thing off of a cliff. You can have a direction you want the game to go in. You can restrain the players when it's necessary. But you cannot trivialize the fundamental principle that the audience is choosing their own adventure. Their adventure. Not yours. If you do, you won't have fun, they won't have fun, and there's no point in this category of game.

I'm sure there's a lot of tutorials on how to DM a game that get into how to guide stories without railroading and how to keep things moving

Unfortunately he got the wrong CYOA voters.

Needed the posters that want a long semi serious project like Into The Dungeon or some of those.

Instead got people looking for a Billy May/butter the floor one.

The last Into the Dungeon, Labyrinth of Ishiene, had a puppy, Ishiene herself, Larrington Derryerry, Esmeralda von Haackenslasher, and Sir Stevith Threevith as most of the first set of characters

Ok heres my theory:
first one looks the most like leopard print material to me, so thats the leopard.
Cheetahs famously have spots, and the second ones pattern is the most spotty, so thats the cheetah.
Third one is Jaguar by default, but also I think jaguars are very similar structurally to panthers, and that looks the most panther-like to me.

you probably think jaguars are structurally similar to panthers because they are panthers. as are leopards. cheetahs are not and b looks the most different from the others (and more qualitatively, looks the most optimized for running)

anyway jaguars live in the jungle so the background helps a lot with that one

You know, while I've got this game topic here, a question for the Trails experts.

Is the fight order of the guardians in Chapter 6 meant to imply that Loewe was stronger than Cassius? Because that's definitely not an impression I ever got in the first two games.

no
