Real life is nasty, yes, but we aren't playing this game to vicariously live out the worst the world has to offer, we're here to have fun and tell stories.

I'd just like to come in here and second a lot of what Pixie put down here - a lot of the time, rumors just seem nasty in a way that isn't really productive and conducive to RP, and seems to be used more and more as a vector for consequence-free harassment more than anything.

RP communities are already highly prone to drama and resentment bubbling just beneath the surface whe...

Criminal reporting severely delayed / has a chance of not happening?

Unfortunately, this game is not coded in Python, which is easy and rules, but C++, which is difficult, and sucks.

Panera Bread has wonderful sandwiches! I really like their garden vegetable sandwich with pesto and feta cheese.
