  • Something I got from Spoony which I really liked:

    “There is nothing there.” -> “You don’t see/perceive anything.”

    Even if there isn’t something there, keep the players on the edge and guessing how good their skill worked. And it makes it just a little bit less gamey if the character doesn’t have some divine insight that there really is nothing there instead of deciding that their skills just show that there is nothing there and be happy with that - or not.

    Of course, extend that to everything. Pull away from the facts of the game and put more ambiguous language in.

















  • Would be mad.

    There are many topics people discuss that are problematic. Forget piracy. What about people from authoritarian regimes, people from countries that are in danger to fall to authoritarians, even if they haven’t yet. Anything from years ago could become problematic if the wrong government gets into power.

    Making jokes about God is no deal under some regimes, it’s blasphemy in others.

    Drugs are a problem in a lot of countries, and a literal death sentence in some.

    Making fun of a fringe politician is nothing when they are not in power, but becomes a problem if they get into power.

    I am sure Reddit gives some data in cases of actual danger, which is fair. But if they start to hand out data for something minor like piracy, it’s going to be a problem for discussion on the discussion plattform.
