Re: Discord server
Discord for people who are courteous can be an awesome resource to bounce ideas of each other for concepts, discover new players outside of your typical circle, and discuss conflicts with each other in a less public venue.
It's pretty chill.

Re: Discord server
"Toxic" is just a fancy way of saying "Contemptuous". Or maybe less fancy on account of it being a shorter word.
How toxic a social venue can be is tied directly to how casually and reflexive contemptuous it is. The more frequently that contempt is pointed at a person or ideal a person holds as important, the less tolerable they are likely to find it.
So, yeah, if you're curious, pop in. You can review the chat history. If you're not bothered, annoyed, or put off by what you find, then you should be fine.
I am simply ancient, saltier than the Dead Sea on a Saturday, and possessed of a heart so fossilized that not even memes of the dankest, most chill order can cause it to feel anything. So...like. Like a Lich? Or a mummy nudist? Basically I'm a 6-foot tall strip of hateful beef jerky.

Re: Discord server
I'm a Discord lurker, and a very special snowflake, and even I don't tend to see anything there that really shocks and offends me. People can be a tiny bit mean about absent people every so often, but they're usually far meaner to each other. Every so often I pick up a neat play tip, which I unfortunately then forget because I'm useless.
They do, however, spend a lot of the time doing the internet equivalent of flashing their butts at each other and guffawing at the wit of their own backsides. Sometimes, they actually manage to be slightly amusing while they are doing it.

It's pretty bad. Really. It's bad.
But hey, the builds and mechanics section is really good! People like Scurvy and Umskiptar really helped me out multiple times. Use the tag @git gud and you will get some amazing advices.

Re: Discord server
Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll definitely consider it at my earliest convenience.

Re: Discord server
Not at all what I was saying, Aodh. I'm talking about ppl being outright offensive/insulting and having bad attitudes. Sometimes it's towards you and sometimes it's towards ppl that aren't even there. You know, toxic. The word I actually used.Aodh Lazuli wrote:Toxicity and people disagreeing with you are not the same thing, Crag.CragOrion wrote:I'd advise against joining the main Arelith Discord channel. It gets pretty toxic in there. Its usually better to wait till you join a faction or make some friends and join their discord instead

Re: Discord server
I think you misunderstand my use of the word disagree in this context... I meant it more in the way someone's digestion might 'disagree' with certain foods.

Yeah, mobile discord works in much the same way as the desktop version... I find it tends to kill the battery on my phone, though.Aero Silver wrote:Does the phone app work like the computer application? Or ia it computer based only?

Re: Discord server
Ah I see. Sorry about the confusion, discords existence was mentioned on Shout and initially having not used discord before after asking about it I thought the channel posted and the group thing were the same thing.
Just handy to have just in case, I'm not much of a poster on things like that.

Re: Discord server
You're talking about incompatibility. Well if ppl on discord "disagree" or are incompatable with me because I expect others to be respectful or polite to each other, then it only furthers my point.Aodh Lazuli wrote:I think you misunderstand my use of the word disagree in this context...

Re: Discord server
Discord is super toxic, Arelith is the best because it limits OOC player interaction. Discord just magnifies the club mentality.

Re: Discord server
Discord is actually less toxic than tells in game are, for the most part.
Granted mob mentality is a thing.
For the ones that have never been to the Discord server, try it before you shy it.

Before I heard about Discord, I thought two characters standing next to each other all silent meant that they were cybering.

Re: Discord server
The discord was worse a few months ago (before a similar thread like this came up) but since then, the mods have done a good job keeping it pretty reasonable.
I've never believed the narrative that limiting OOC interaction is a good thing. It's a good way to build a community and role-playing trust in fellow players.
