Does anyone do anything at Milliways except wank? Like order drinks?
I am OFFENDED. Practically my college motto, there.

Why?

Well, the OP doesn't go into details but we get told in a comment that it's because Claire from Heroes entered Milliways while only in a towel.

Cue [info]metaphor trying not to cry, [info]daniidebrabant internet lawyering about child porn and minors, [info]oh_envy jumping in to point out Heroes has graphic gore, and [info]becky_h saying there's no actual kid being hurt so everyone stop overreacting. Because otherwise, [info]dieinahole's dangerous Nuke Sequence's being tripped would have killed us all.

[info]birdseyeview wants to know why nobody thinks of the bisexuals people that weren't offended.

And then finally, [info]sockarooni pops up to make an 'ad homimem attack' that informs people the player in question is a skeeze and talks about his sexual fantasies in a teen-friendly enviroment. Which sheds a whole new light on everything so far to the point that [info]becky_h backs down.

Oh, and just noticed the OP's location is listed as "The Valley of dispair with my anti-wank (hopefully) rifle". Uh-huh.

Edit: Comments from [info]darksunlight aka Mitch make it seem like he's the person the OP is complaining about and according to [info]piobaireachd, they'd practically started a poll on how long it would be before something like that happened, though 'they' is unspecified and it seems to be a complaint about a general trend rather than whoever plays Claire and explains that comment here in a comment to this post. And hey, look, spelling lessons!

[info]viridian tosses in her two cents, and explains herself a little further in comments to this post.

And we have a reaction post in the journal of Claire's player informing us we're all crazy because it's only fiction, while [info]sepiamagpie informs us in comments to this post that Mitch smells -- or probably not, but he's definitely part of the skeevy squad.

Edit II: IC reactions! One per link. Or, IC in the sense that two other muns pull the towel stunt, kindly reported to us by [info]piobaireachd. And two other people get a friend here on JF to toss in their two cents about Mitch's skeeviness. And [info]muffinbutt, weighs in on the game rules concerning how the towel-scene would have happened, speaking from the point of authority as 'a current Bar Mod, Co-Barman, and former game mod'.

Edit III: It's the wank that keeps on giving and got duked out in comments over here! The comment in which [info]piobaireachd pointed out the IC reactions is jumped upon by a self-proclaimed Towel'd Mun and they have a little chat about disliking players versus characters and the difference between drama whoring that creates more work for mods and a good, sarcastic reaction.

Edit IV: Annnd now [info]anonon who IDs his/herself as the other Towel'd Mun, jumps in to give her side of the argument, also in comments to this post. I'm starting to feel like it should be getting quoted over on [info]wankitywank by this point.

As a current Bar Mod, Co-Barman, and former game mod...

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I'm just annoyed that now my character and Karen's character have to avoid being arrested by Matt Parkman for child exploitation.

Totally annoying.

Otherwise... whatever. Just another day in a game with over 200 players and pretty much no limits on free speech. *shrugs*

This was one of my main concerns, actually.

I mean, we all god Bar to a degree, you have to if you're going to order from her. People have her play pranks on their pups all the time, often similar to what was done with Claire, so I can't really try to say that he was 'actually' crossing a line, but I know I'm hesitant to do anything like that.

Because, while Bar may have a sense of humour, I never imagined she was cruel or found that sort of thing amusing. Heck, I couldn't even tell you if it's Bar's sense of humour that's responsible or the 'Landlord's'.

Perhaps I fail to have a completely onjective perspective, but usually such pranks seem in better taste and less likely to drag other players into awkward situations.

I flailed for your and Mike-mun's sakes, because it IS annoying.

Well, in that respect, I think we've Millicanoned to death that Bar does not do anything like that. She has nothing to do with how or when or who comes into the bar. It's the damn Landlord. So as long as Matt-mun understands that even if Matt doesn't we're fine.

If I have to wade through OOC confusion as well I will be seriously bent out of shape.

Yeah, I'd kind of figured it wasn't her, but wouldn't have been able to say for sure. Thanks for clearing that up.

I guess I was just wondering if there's any sort of ruling on what IS going too far, as far as godding Bar or the Landlord are concerned. I know it'd be impossible to have a comprehensive list, but towel eps happen, and are usually fine. Would it be against the OOC rules to bring someone in completely nude, if the mun were willing to deal with the IC concequences/rules? Just, curious if there's anything to which bar/game mods would say "No Bar or the Landlord would not do that."

Bar seems to have a personality. What can I have her do, and what do I need to ask about?

Well, most people tend to god her as giving little notes, and generally giving people what they ask for. She wonâ™t give out: illegal drugs, or (in most cases) prescription ones if they are being abused; weapons, unless imminent self-defense is needed, or she hears that a practice session is being arranged; things she canâ™t possibly know about, like maps of the Lost island; living beings. If you have questions about something you need from Bar, contact Josie and ask.

Personality-wise, Bar is fairly motherly, but capricious. She has been known to play jokes, even on her own Barman, but sheâ™s not given to wanton cruelty.

I noticed that some people have animals that were made by Bar. Whatâ™s up with that? Can I have a tinyphant too?

No. Bar cannot produce living beings. Those animals were created before this issue was clarified and the information was disseminated. There was no point in retconning. However. Any new animals â˜createdâ™ by Bar will be retconned as soon as they are discovered.


From the FAQ. I hope that clears things up.

And, yes. There are things which we have said no to, many times. It's common sense. The landlord would do just about anything. I would never say that the landlord didn't do that thing with the towel. But godding the landlord as like. Being anything other than a capricious laissez-faire sort of distant deity does tend to get sticky. And with bar, every player walks a line. But if you think it's gonna be sticky you ask me or Karen.

Yeah, sorry, I should have gone back to check those again. -_-; I haven't since the flamingo incident.

And yes, asking you or Karen seems the practical thing to do. Sorry to make you copy and paste something I should have just gone and double checked for myself.

Hey, no big. It was no trouble.

Just FYI. Sophie's gonna be overhauling the FAQ after the new year. Check it out in a month or so.

Nifty, thanks for the info. Added a link down here to the wank report.
