This isn't a problem I've experienced yet in my own RPG, but I was curious if others had in theirs....

I'm sure that some of you role play online (forums, email, AIM, MUSH, MUD, whatever). Have any of you had problems with new fans of the books (mainly the later books) joining your game and want to play out sex only? How did you, and the other members of the game, react and deal with the situation? I've been curious as to how the change in the direction of the books, and the change in readership, has affected games based in the AB (or MG) universe.

Not really had any problems with fans of the later books looking for pr0ns. For the most part, the Yahoo! RPGs I belong to were created out of pure frustration with the later books and attemtping to A) go in a whole other direction, or B) ignore the book entirely and just do our own thing.

If anything, the pr0ns becomes a problem when the group hasn't got much going on and people wind up writing bad porn to fill in the time. *flashbacks* :O

saadiira will probably be able to tell you more about this.

Generally, we got really picky about who we posted with, because the search is always on for talented writers (and lord knows, they're out there....though, some of the good ones also have temperamental problems) and tend to play in a relatively bitch-free environment.

There was the whole Indy saga, where all a player would post was badly written porn in the bathroom, and she was given ample opportunity to interact with other players, get out of the bathroom and contribute to the game. She didn't take any of them, and stuck to writing bathroom!porn, and thus it became subject of an in-joke, and she really didn't like the ridicule, threw a tantrum and quit.
