I am going to delete all the dumb, aspergers worthy discussion threads.

this is not the place for talking about butts and farts and shrimp. take that to your plurk or rpanons.

also, to anyone in that plurk because i know you're furiously f5ing this meme and shlicking to the idea of being namedropped, maybe you should stop blaming the hate meme and start blaming the two-faced bitches you associate with who leak your private shit.

hth, mouthbreathing motherfuckers.

I would really enjoy a game where the characters had to rebuild some semblance of civilization and with that a network that has problems, blackouts, what-have-you. Most interactions, then would be in-person.

People probably won't pay attention to it. IIRC, Exitvoid had an event where the network went down and people still used it.

I don't play there anymore, but thusia has a similar premise and doesn't rely on communicators at all. Everything is logged via action/mingle posts. Characters meet face-to-face in order to establish relationships. Everyone joins in on getting something done.

I loved this setup so much. I had to drop to a slower game that uses communicators and I miss mingle posts so much. How the hell is my character supposed to establish anything with someone if their primary mode of contact is via network and face-to-face interaction is commonly handwaved?

I really wish other games dropped the network thing completely. You don't need it, and it's possible to get shit done without it. I remember people setting up network comms as alternatives to the dreaded prose logs that took too long; action threads weren't popular at the time. Now that we've got the short and sweet action threads, we don't need networks. I seriously think newly made games should consider going without it.

...That's actually towerofanimus to a T. Jobs are usually rebuilding pieces of the tower or in the few facilities, the main comm is face-to-face interactions, and the network is horribly unreliable.
