[Mush] Liberation Mush

 Short: A v20/w20/m20 world of darkness mush where you will feel grateful to get a dot of Grill Cheese Sandwich Skill after nine epic quests.

Medium: The Mush is well run and has clearly learned from the problems of other mushes (reference City of Hype mush) while inventing whole new problems for itself that it doesnt need to have.

Maximum Verbosity: Alright lets start with the positive.

-Very helpful and supportive staff, absolutely no psychos (cant say the same of players but staff keeps them mostly in check)

-Very well built and thorough grid

-Very robust and balanced chargen

-Sane and minimal house rules with one notable exception

-An intriguing influence mini game that actually works without making the staff give up their lives

-Coherence of theme: They make you have a good reason for merits and backgrounds etc

-A healthy RP policy that allows PRP without locking up meaningful items only for staff (with an exception see below)

Sounds like heaven right? Well.

No  not really.

What doesnt work

-Secondary skills are now mandatory, and xp is also reduced.  Other mushes got around xp creep by reseting periodically  Liberation mush wants to be around forever so they solve the problem by letting you work five years for a dot in grilled cheese sandwich making.  They are particularly arduous about combat skills creating a perverse situation where every PC suddenly becomes Mr Miyagi in order to have the instruction skill.  

-Prp is only available for MUNDANE plots (they recently opened up ghosts but still highly limited).  That sounds nice but the staff run plots I participated in seemed giant circle jerks where you had the illusion of participation without actual progress.  The setting is dynamic  and pcs can make a difference but I was there for nine months and never felt a scene I participated in actually had any meaningful contribution to the game.

If they would lighten up in their xp policy and prp policy this place would truly shine but I left without feedback since it appeared to me that seeing others make suggestions werent really heard.

If advancement doesnt matter to you, running your own plots doesnt or you wanna play only a mortal in WOD this is definitely the place for you.
