There has been a lot of people posting “Riven Sex RP” repeatedly, but literally none of those people were a part of this—it’s pure goon telephone. It was a single scene in a long game of that had like two mods trying to manage something like 50 people, and was in no way some planned thing at the start of the game, which otherwise didn’t have any remotely sexual content—mostly just people dying to ecological disaster.

man, you put together a whole rear end rpg based on the hit 90s adventure game Riven and everyone's happy. but you throw in one sex scene without getting consent from anyone and have a rule where if you talk about being uncomfortable you get kicked out of the discord and everyone loses their poo poo. crazy, right?

listen i don't know how you sorted all this out in your head so that it's okay somehow, but the only person buying it is you.

Everyone is a person. People do awful things, especially when their environments reinforce those behaviors; cartoon villains don’t exist. You’ve learned nothing. Everything about you and your arguments comes from centering your comfort and experience.

What time does this thread close?

As someone who also put in some time in the online RPG mines back in the day, the idea of a game where the players aren't actually allowed to talk to each other at all out-of-character is completely wild to me. I certainly knew such games existed, and I'm sure not going to claim that nothing ever went rotten in the games where that wasn't the case (oh LORD no), but that seems like such a recipe for disaster in about a thousand different ways.

Anyway, I'm glad things have worked out as well as they did. I absolutely wasn't sure that I was making the right choice opening this up last night (and not just because Jeffrey, for good reason, wanted a potentially sensitive discussion to happen in private), but I didn't see any possible outcome other than "a v bad discussion would happen across ten other SAD threads instead" happening if I didn't, and everythingWasBees being openly willing to share what happened to them made it feel right.

I appreciate all the kind words, of course, but it's really everyone else who made this a place where people felt free and able to actually share what was going on (and in particular Fluffdaddy's willingness to listen to and act on something that must have seemed utterly alien to him) that made this an actual SAD success story.

pog, I will still leave the honor of turning out the lights to you.

It's, you know, central. In the center. Of the time.

(Yeah, about ten minutes. If for whatever reason it's not closed by the time I get back from cooking lunch I'll do it.)

Then the signature problem of IMG was… basically that whole communal attitude in and of itself.

I’m don’t have time for another effort post, but I wholly mean it when I say gently caress yourself. I think (what is left of) your community is just now hopefully beginning to learn their lessons.

I think you are being an rear end in a top hat and how you are talking about this shifts the blame a bit on the people who came forward. Like I don't totally disagree that this whole 24/7 RP thing isn't "freak poo poo" on some level, but so is looking at birds through binoculars or whatever. You are just making it sound like the people who got hurt should have known better at this point.

lol weird rear end

As far as I know, there are no sexual parts or explicit sexual content in the game Riven. Riven is a puzzle adventure game that focuses on exploration, puzzle-solving, and storytelling, and its themes are centered around science fiction, fantasy, and mystery.

While there may be some suggestive or mature themes in the game's narrative, there is no overtly sexual content in Riven. The game is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB, which means it is considered appropriate for players of all ages.

we’re rethinking your moms puzzle game
