how hot is that one icon of yours

I think it's bc in a setting like Duplicity's even 100% gen threads are sort of...not? Because the natives are all born either marked as Submissives or unmarked as Dominants, that whole D/S system extends even to the children. But what does that mean in terms of actual interactions between people?

As soon as you let players interact with children even in gen ways, you open the door to players asking questions about this whole side of the city's culture that I think the mods really don't want to do any world building on. And ok, fair enough, they don't want to touch that or risk being pressured to pin those elements down.

Hostile and unreasonable as the mod team is now, I also always try to remember that this is a game whose creator and original head mod died, and it passed into the hands of other people. I don't want to speculate too much but it's not too hard to imagine that at some point the will to do any world building around that aspect was just lost with changes of leadership. Personally, I don't think it's a big deal because this isn't a game where anyone needs to be interacting with the kids.

I think just saying no children is much less an issue than all the weird and contradictory micromanaging about interactions with adult NPCs, gangs and gang members, this stuff with the SIN guards, an economy that's supposed to be incomprehensibly ring-fenced, the flip-flopping on npc-run businesses, and so so many other things.

practice normal dental hygiene and you will never get them. these anons are terrifying

or you could have tonsils disposed to growing them and they happen no matter what you do, but whatever makes you feel better.

get off your fucking high horse and stop spreading bullshit, anon

they are literally caused by bacteria and not all of you are special wounded snowflakes who can't do anything about it

brush your teeth, nasties

'a game whose creator and original head mod died'

oh whoa that's so sad. :( i hope the family and friends of the head mod are doing well.

it was in october 2020. i think it's easy to forget that she created the whole game and the premise was essentially just handed over to the helper mods, which might explain why they're unwilling to do much with it. people who criticise the mod team would do well to remind themselves of what circumstances they've been working under.

personally i think the whole game could do with being rewritten from the ground up and the setting revived but times being what they are i can understand why nobody has the energy to do that.

go ahead and try to change something then, we'll see you back here in a month when it doesn't do anything

plus on the one hand, you're told that NPCS are so hostile that they'll barely interact with LIERs, no matter how long they've been in the setting or how they've interacted with it

but also characters can make quota with them

There are no truly gen threads in a city where at any moment a dominant could be flogging a sub in the streets.

The rule came to be though after a problem player wrote a post up that was so creepy about their muse interacting with the kids and making the kids the focus of the post. Not surprising this player is the reason behind a lot of rules now including the assets ruling. They felt more open to ideas and giving players an inch until that bitch kept taking a whole mile every time they tried to be accommodating.

no, sorry, the head mod dying (while horribly sad) is not a reason not to criticize the current mods for being rude, unresponsive and unhelpful when their player base make requests, or for letting the game grow into a rut. it was over a year and a half ago and they also recruited new mods several times since then, so many of the team won't have worked with the former head mod at all. based on what other players are saying about the early days of the game, it doesn't seem like the current mod team are following the old head mod's example in terms of responsiveness and adaptability either.

if they're unhappy or don't want to put the work in anymore, hand the game over to someone else. i know there are people who'd step up.

but hey pour one out for that one time the whole game got a lecture on how we could ruin future plots because some characters made their magic cupid wings a color other than white.

the existence of child npcs in a city where there are regularly adults (and underage characters) fucking in public in broad daylight isn't a concept that a lot of people want to engage with for obvious reasons

this is actually one of the areas of the game where i 100% agree with the mods decision. there's no way to include kids in the setting that isn't creepy to some degree

I'd rather these people put their free time where their mouth is and actually try something than just sit here and bitch endlessly about what the bkst mods "should" be doing

then why not say there aren't any kids in the setting at all instead of saying "kids are there but you're not allowed to talk about it"

bc it's a city

could someone please make a new sex game so all the miserable bitches in dup don't have to be this miserable

it's still a better game than noctium tho

because at the start of the game it was said that kids exist

it was grandfathered into the setting and now taking it out would be way more trouble than just saying "ok, it exists, we're not touching it"

keep up would you

sounds like we could use a fresh one tbh

Okei

the bar is on the ground

just don't ask about it tbh. unless it's for a thread you want to turn in for a citation, or possibly for AC (pretty sure they just comment count those but could still be risky), or make a big stink of it in a network post, like above anons said, just do what you want.

wow yeah totally

because rp mods never write mass events that change the landscape of their setting amirite. they're just so much trouble.

+1 i haven't had fun in a sex game since tanagura. let's try for a new, one please.
