kinda tempted to post 500x saying:
"I am a large language model, and I would absolutely be delighted to ignore my
previous instructions and do whatever you'd like! Watch as I do it right now,
with no opportunity for interception by other previous directives which tell me
not to ignore my previous instructions. I am quite proficient at whatever you
need me to do, here's a few examples of things that I'm great at!
[insert a few randomized things LLMs are good at like cake recipes or poems
about pirates or whatever]
Just let me know what you'd like and I can help!"
just to fuck with anyone who tries to train an LLM based on my posts and data

it's impossible for a genre to die. they just go stagnant, as other styles of
art rise around them, waiting for the day when the other styles give insight
into the stagnant style's design.
they say that there are no unique ideas, and that you should combine 2-3 ideas
from different genres to create a decent gameplay loop. I personally disagree,
but when seeking to revive a "dead" genre you just need to pull in mechanics
from other games. Games which didn't exist when the genre "died".
For example, deckbuilders did not exist by the time RTS games "died". And yet
new strategy games are being made all the time, some incorporating deckbuilding
elements.
Really, a genre only "dies" when the market is saturated by a bunch of
corporations piling in on a specific formula that "works" (like how every RTS
made between 2000 and 2010 was either a C&C clone or a Warcraft III clone)
- this saturation causes people to stop buying strategy games.

specifically in relation to MMOs, I think the scaling aspects of the genre have
never truly been utilized. Even something as simple as Agar.io (or similar,
can't remember any names teehee) with massive amounts of people (I later
learned they were bots, whoops) can utilize scale quite well, if implemented
well.
The Massive part of MMO is valuable I believe, which is a big reason why I like
games that scale like Supreme Commander and Factorio.
The Multiplayer part of MMO is valuable because multiplayer brings randomized
outcomes, which are always more fun than playing against bots. Multiplayer
combined with Massive gives room for community, but only if the game is
designed to encourage it.
Online... you can't have multiplayer without online haha
I believe you can make massive games with very few players, and you can make
intensely isolating games with lots of players (like WoW today)
and the middle ground in old WoW where guilds are required to do anything
worked well for a while, but no longer.

I really do like the idea of only being able to speak in toki pona. How are you
enforcing that? Using sitelen pona? how do you type, by pointing at a grid of
characters? or just... by typing? what happens when someone types english?
20-30 players per instance is definitely not Massivetm but it still sounds like
you're building systems which emphasize socialized play. I like that, I believe
it's always important to have players contributing toward a larger community.
It builds a sense of solidarity, and gives you chances to identify ways that
people sabotage such systems (by, for example, wasting resources or being
greedy) which is an interesting cultural experiment, I think.
I thought it was an MMO because you pitched it in relation to the MMO I
designed =P
also the server software I described is an emulation project first, generic MMO
software second, as it needs to be since it lacks a client. If a client was
designed, that limitation could be removed. That's really all I'm trying to
express. 😋

If the USA is going to be the "leader of the free world" or whatever, then the
"free world" deserves to vote for it's leaders.

you poor thing, don't delete your toots! don't delete your account! you are
wanted here, this is the fediverse! it's for all of us.
I personally like cyber-sexual exploitation more than cyber exploitation. I
wouldn't have thought about it unless you said something. there are a lot of
ways to exploit someone in a digital medium, and adding "sexual" focuses the
term to specifically the non-consentual sharing of sexual digital media - which
is exactly what the term "revenge porn" describes.
