i don't really expect "gameplay" from FR tbh. i see it more as a farming-type game where you manage resources over time.

I've vagued slavery in a profile once, but it was very temporary for lore and not remotely sexual, and since removed. This doesn't sound like that. (Also, had staff acted, I would have admitted to messing up. This guy is an idiot.)

Also, seriously, I won't even link some of my character origins on site directly because torture breaks the site rating. Why would you put BDSM in?

Wonder if there'll ever be a way to lock specific plots out of getting pickaxe'd.

I can see why they didn't have it from the start, most people would probably lock everything out but the genes and get those in circulation faster than intended, but since each plot is repeatable, it's theoretically possible to never hit the good stuff with anything but magnifying glasses, while just repeating clothing trunk plots (or the vista, really) over and over again.

So maybe a compromise could be that after you complete a plot once, then you have the option to lock it.

Ew, I don't like how the number of tools you get every day is random. Day 1, I started making plans along the lines of estimating when I'd get all of the familiar plots finished with the tools I got, only for today for them to all be dashed because I got significantly fewer tools than the day before. I understand they'll even out over time to the average over enough days but it felt bad.

Day 1: Used all tools, gave all notes, expecting the same today.

Day 2: I got 2 pickaxes, 6 magnifiers, and 4 notes. Now, I'm holding magnifiers until I have something almost done

Honestly, I think it should lock out completed ones until you clear the whole set. But that won't please folks waiting the genes.

wait, you mean it doesn't already work this way? that's what I had assumed, at least

Well, I was responding to a user that was talking about it working as such, with people theoretically never getting good items. I assumed they were basing it on reality, as I'm a normal player, not paying "friends" to bloat my totals with notes.

I honestly don't think anyone other than those have finished something.

yeah this. the most gameplay intensive thing is the coli
flight rising is just a dressup game with extra steps

Woohoo, the new genes don't have horrible brown in Lemon!

(I love the bright yellow but almost all genes have a horrible dark brown accent.)

Do you ever wonder if anyone ever reported you...

...and why they would?

I bring this up because I sell a lot of pricey stuff on the AH and tend to refresh FR like crazy through out the day out of habit and wonder if anyone ever reported me as like an AH bot or something due to how fast my restocking can be. lmao

I wouldn't report but I have blocked people for being annoying on the AH

I once got a warning PM, so I know I've been reported for 'inappropriate forum behaviour' (someone quoted half of my opinion from one thread into another and I tried to tell them to stop lying that I agree with them as my full opinion was against theirs and in an entirely different thread; apparently I was deemed 'harassing' them)

Neither of us posted in that thread again, our original spat was left untouched and I only got the warning in PM, so I don't know. Hopefully both of us got the PMs...

I miss the days of webrings, fansites and forums. I miss livejournal and you could actually catch up on any fan discussion by searching posts by the date, instead of twiter's infinite scrolling and tumblr's evil game of "oh, you want to follow this entire conversation? have fun searching 20 different reblog chains!"

SA

tbh i would argue that the fairground games are more gameplay intensive than the coli lol

Most of those games aren't, either - they're just super slow and random, with a lot of words to explain a dull and simple concept.

Because you're sure you're so smart that no one will see through your clever disguise. Insight is not Natron's strong suit, and they seem to have none whatsoever for other people who aren't as intellectual as they believe they are being capable of basic bullshit-spotting. Hence them lying, getting banned and still lying about it. I get the legit impression they view other people as idiots.

I'm a serial non-dragon pfp blocker. If it's empty or floating apparel w/e.
But if the dragon's wearing a skin that ignores the dragon lineart to look like something else, especially human faces, it just makes me want to block so bad.

Tumblr is so awful for discussion. Very grateful to our mods for maintaining an LJ-style forum for FR drama, at least.

I get that we both probably sound curmudgeonly and every generation likes to go 'X new technology/platform is killing fandom!', but things like tumblr are just such giant and obvious steps backward...

Considering the fact that they disgustingly and unironically deem themselves as a 'DEMI-GOD' there's no doubt in my mind that their level of narcissism transcends just viewing other people as idiots.

Friend of mine got a familiar. It immediately reset that section.

Those genes are going to be a bitch to get, because every other section you complete will be back in the pool.

At least they'll retain value.
