the situation is technically "(1) "ability to impregnate people with horror eggs" was the surprise, and then from that point forward people could choose whether or not they wanted to play out oviposition smut in that time frame..."

but there is nothing else to do ingame in august and the eggs are so tied to the game plot that it's impossible to truly avoid even if you aren't playing it directly

as another anon said it's not an opt out if the only way to avoid is "take a hiatus and don't play this month"

i don’t know what to tell you, anon. i’m not touching the eggpreg stuff and i have plenty to do with my cr.

AYRT

I agree with you. I guess it's Door #3, technically! If you don't play in the plot, you can't go for a plot coin, either - and how many hiatuses will the mods allow before they tell you to leave?

Players shouldn't have to come up with ways to avoid a plot like this. I swear the game used to be better at balancing things you could do during the month, but the events have become so insular since June.

Yeah same tbh. Eggpreg and related parasitosis horror is extremely not my jam so I'm just doing other August prompts and asking my cr to keep it light on the eggy worm talk.

AYRT

on second though, okay, i'll give you that, it IS possible to weasel around the eggpreg stuff. however like above anon said, it does require you to almost entirely avoid the game plot for august. the mods did try to separate out the eggpreg from the stuff with the stomach but the damage is already done and ICly you have to jump through a lot of hoops to separate the two.

and nfn but players are required to engage with events for plot coins so it's still shutting out players who opted out of eggpreg for trigger reasons. not entirely, i know there are other months in the next coin period

my point is it's a bad mod call to build in a bunch of new engagement requirements and then have a huge surprise plot event tied to a common CW that wasn't handled appropriately, with nothing else event related for characters to do in the month

crazy to watch people argue about all this. the game makes engagement difficult and is now making passing activity much harder. we're being punished for not acting like npcs in the mods cr.

+1 especially the plot coin point. it's just adding more stress to an overly convoluted mechanic, and making it really hard to engage in the plot.

i don't think i've seen it mentioned that this plot is meant to run from june to october.

+1

i feel like we're expected to want to play out the niche kinks the mods like and are being punished for not wanting to

but there are other event things to do. the fallout from the stomach reveal thing can be threaded on the event dog. you can dig into your characters’ political leanings. you can still thread things that are related to the results of the moot hall earlier in august. all of that can be used to earn a plot coin.

i’m not even trying to be argumentative here, i’m just pointing out that there is more than just the eggpreg stuff happening in game, and all of it can be used for earning plot coins.

event log. not event dog. that would, uh.

nevermind, i will not go there.

god bless the good ol' event dog

c'mere boy! good boy!

event dog’s kink is more treats for a good boy

Players who don't want to deal with this were left to come up with their own ways of keeping characters busy

lol game-only rpers

if it's the person i'm thinking of, they're not new. they've been around for years.

sadly the people that disney has had working on their tentpole projects have been, largely, out of touch with the fan base of the product. if you do not understand what made a thing popular in the first place, what drew people to it, ignore or even deface the existing lore and culture around it, you are bound to fail.

disney star wars wanted to pave a new road that wouldn't have involved them paying rights and royalties to any existing creators or their estates. by doing so they crapped on the lore that existed, so to compensate they went with buzz words and marketing, but they failed to quality check the product.

i love seeing more representation out there on all sides of the camera and script, it is such a new and different time for creatives than it was 40 years ago, but that doesn't mean you hand the reins to just anyone and let them run wild. you have to ensure that the product is enhancing what came before, not making it less. sadly too often the former is done without the thought required for the latter.

maybe someday it'll get better, but that will mean different stewards of the franchise, same for marvel, same for disney classics going live action. i can dream, and a dream is still a wish your heart makes.

tl:dr make better stuff, people will watch it and enjoy it.

i agree, that definitely hasn't always been the case. pregnancy is a severe trigger for me and i had my suspicions about the "body horror surprise", but was turned away when i repeatedly tried asking for more information. when transparency was most crucial for me personally, the mods proved themselves to be untrustworthy, so i dropped. no rp is worth risking my mental health for.

boy this mod team sounds more stellar by the minute

you are aware people can track drops over the last 3 months to corroborate this shit stirring comment

oooo, whatcha gonna do, witch hunt & harass them after they've already left the game

that's some damn serious sour grapes, mods

Lol feeling called out, aren't you.

What a weird threat to make over someone stating their experience in a game of mods not always behaving consistently.

Er isn’t it generally considered very dumb to drop info that can connect you with shit talking on wg

Anon dropped because your incompetence posed a real risk to their mental health, now you're making thinly veiled harassment threats? Jfc this mod team is a fucking joke.

it's generally considered very dumb for mods not to give transparency to their players who might have triggers for certain plot points

hth

...also is it really 'shit talking' if the former player is giving us factual evidence that the mods are shit
