To those who've been offended by my "being a dick on the radio", I apologize. To those who say I'm always mentioning IC in OOC, again I apologize.
It just seemed to me that my chars were not being treated fairly. RP or no, you don't go about acting toward others as I've had people act to me. Can you seriously say you'd talk about "slapping the tits off" someone and NOT expect them to react? I've never seen any one of you react that way to a player you know is female.
I try to be courteous, polite, kind - the whole damn boyscout line. I made a suggestion, it got shot down (with a good reason). I mentioned one shop in passing that I was told by someone (who should have known) had the part, and didn't. I'm seriously not aware of being told several times not to mention IC in OOC. I know I slipped up in the past but it was made out (or so I saw it) as a regular thing.
I just want to play, have fun, escape from the boring humdrum of a forced retirement (yes I'm an old fart). I play on an old Acer netbook because it's the only machine I have. Games such as Skyrim, Wow and the like are dreams. I was a mud addict in Uni all of 20 years ago (older returning student) and remembered the fun and camaraderie involved in playing with people who actually had imaginations so I came here when my wife discovered it.
I'm not trying to be a dick, seriously. I'd love to chat and talk this out with anyone who's willing. I don't want special treatment, just equal treatment. Don't treat my female characters different just because the player is male.
Peace, Cookies and Teddy bears

Why're you apologizing? Don't. If your character is a dick, it is what it is. I know plenty of characters who are dicks, some of mine included. If that's how someone wants to RP their character, that's their business, if you want to RP yours another, that's your business.

IC/OOC seperation of channels is a rule, if you breach it, you'll be asked to mind your P's and Q's. Thems the rules, everyone gets the same treatment.

I hear worse all the time, and it brings me back to the first part: Maybe someone is a dick, and if they are, feel free to be a dick back to em. The radio is Shadowland, in other words, it's the "future version" of the internet. Look at the comment sections on any youtube video, hell, the radio is tame in comparison and functions under the same auspices. Anonymous comments without any possibility of retribution, gotta love it.

If you wanna be a weirdo, that's on you, ain't like you're the first or last who does so. Whatever floats your boat.
I treat everyone the same, personally, so if i'm rude or insulting to you: It's just equal treatment, don't take it personally. I can't speak for anyone else but myself.

Thanks, and as to being a 'wierdo' - I just see it as challenging RP but can understand how some might not see it that way.

Actually, I've seen Urthor say even worse things to women ICly on the Radio than he's gonna slap their tits off. That's the character. Has nothing to do with who you are OOC, Urthor, as a character, has no verbal filter sometimes. It's part of who he is.
Also part of who he is is brutally murdered.
As for my character being a dick to yours on the radio... You ask a stupid or vague question (Who knows anything about backpacks?) you're gonna get a stupid or... well, stupid response (The go on your back and carry things.) Hell, I even have the word 'Cynical' in the voice description. What do you want from me?
Just play, man. There's always more than one way to find an answer. You don't always have to jump to the Radio first. Just sayin'.

Lol.
You're apologising for playing a dick?
I played an asshole for years. To the point that people warned new Runners about him.
If people get their panties in a knot over stuff you do IC, tell them to go play My Little Pony. This is Shadowrun.
It's dark, gritty, cyber-punked world of awesome. I would say though, be careful who you attack...
The Trolls in 2064 may actually be Trolls. Or Urthor. Which is worse.

Although I have been considering making a return to MUDing (AW in particular), and I've been considering making a new primary character if I do, I could never bring myself to do that.
Though I did once have a cyberhorse, until Mitsuhama goons murdered it.

Since I was the person who said I was going to slap your character's tits off I feel that I should respond since I seem to be the only person you're really talking about aside from Sid and he doesn't count.
I'll order my responses from least to most offensive and hopefully I can gradually step up the person reading this to what I feel is the actual response I'd like to give.
1.) This is an adult game, and in most cases it is an adult game that is inhabited ICly by criminals, ne'er-do-wells, brigands, cutpurses, and pretty much every other facet of criminal society. This means that things are going to get hairy and things are going to be said on the radio that are harsh whether or not you may particularly deserve it. These characters are (meta)human, as are the players. Emotions play a role into everything and not trying to understand the emotion or position of the other party is willfully ignoring something that may put things into context for you.
2.) I will not apologize for my character's actions. He has said much worse and I actually started the "slap your tits off" line with Ink who I know is female OOC. I still tell her that I'll slap her tits off if she strays out of line. That's just how Urthor rolls, he's boisterous, he can be annoying and I understand that, it's just the way he is and the way I enjoy playing him.
3.) As a wise, portly cartoon character once said "What's the big fuckin' deal bitch?"
4.) I didn't threaten to skullfuck you, rape you, kill you, gut you, torture you, or do any of the above to those you love and hold dear ICly. I threatened someone over the radio with slapping their tits off. Now even if I could take that as a serious threat, which I can't, I didn't know your character, I couldn't care less for your character from an IC standpoint, or an OOC standpoint for that matter. I don't know what crawled up your IC vagina and somehow teleported OOCly to the space where it would be, but you chose to get whatever underwear (if any) you wear in a twist over a passing comment.
I actually thought you handled it well ICly, we had a little tit-for-tat and went on our separate ways. The fact that it obviously bubbled up for this long is astounding.
Get over yourself, you are not special or unique, you are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the MUD just like the rest of us. Get on, play, if you don't like me or Sid or anyone else, just ignore us. There are plenty of people to play with. The fact that you think this came about because you really have a wang instead of a cooter is probably one of the most downright stupid things I've ever heard. Granted you don't know the history of the MUD and the lesbos that were played by guys scissoring each other thinking the other one was really a woman, but you are not the first, nor will you be the last. And most important, no one in this MUD, or probably anywhere else, will ever have a fuck to give about what you decide to role-play as long as you have some modicum of intelligence.
That may have come off a bit harsh, and if it did I apologize, but there are some things that are worth venting about and some "special snowflake" that seriously thinks anyone (let alone multiple people) has it out for them because of the gender/sex of their character it pushes my "BE A DICK" button.

Re: last post. Nothing crawled up my IC anything. IC I felt as I replied. Can't say that I, the player, felt the same way. Just -seemed- to me that after you all found I wasn't really female all attitudes changed. Been a long time as far as I'm concerned. I was over this long ago. Admin if possible delete this thread.

You can't apologize for being a dick.
But if you're gonna' play a dick, you're gonna' get shot. Dems da breaks.
