I'll just flat out ask; can we put Apoc stuff on this board?
It's derived from Arm, and uses a lot of the same code (with some nice changes), but I want to clear it with the site staff (so Jcarter, last I checked) before I do.

We have threads for other MUDs in "Other Games", so probably.

If people want me to add a sub-board for it I'm willing to do so. Is there that much of a demand for it?

I don't see the need for a game as small as Apoc to have a sub-board.

I'm not sure how many people there visit these boards. Probably best to communicate with their staff, who could put out a notice on the Discord to direct people.

Well, advertise it, spread the news of an Arm-like game that doesn't suffer from Terminal ballcancer in the staffteam.

They have karmas, so they probably do. They're just bias against a different subset of people, most probably.
Systems, wherein people are motivated to feel better/worse than others, based purely off some random, biased assholes anonymous opinion, is pretty firmly in ballcancer territory, imo.

I mean, give them a chance first?
I certainly have. And despite my experiences, it's not like I'm the picture of mental health normally either.

On ApocalypseMUD Karma is automatically awarded based on how long your account has been active. 0-3 months = No karma, no special roles 3+ Months, = 4 Karma Auto given 8 months+ = 6 Karma auto given The only roles that need staff's approval are Psionicists, Sorcerers and Templars.

Not great, but better than I thought. Its definitely, a step forward from Arm, anyway.

I've also heard that mundane humans can get enhanced skills out of chargen if they have Karma. Any word on that?

Their website says, that karma runs exactly the same as it does on arm, by staff decision/whimsy. Where does it say, it auto allocates, exactly? apocalypsemud.org/karma/

There is a thread on Apocs Discord where the MUD staff has suggested:
0-3 months = No karma, no special roles 3+ Months, = 4 Karma Auto given 8 months+ = 6 Karma auto given

Eh. Too much discord required, and the idea of a ripped off arm game also running off of karma when it's such a shitshow on arm is a hard pass from me.
Now, if I could app in a whiran and not need to download an outside program to do it? Bitch yes please.
As is... *headshake* I can 'not' play a whiran on regular arm, too. The psionic stuff sounds interesting but if people think and feel as little on that game as on arm, I can't imagine the flavor aspect of a mindbender over whatever code heavy other skills there might be, would be enough to be interesting enough to keep me engaged.
My god, normal arm players too: think and feel more. Ya'll's internal emptiness is fuckin' boring.
