Ask Me Things Please!

ask me things please!

SSO OC Asks

This might exist already? Some of them might have already been asked somewhere? These might be simple, little things, but I feel like their answers can be really helpful, anyway! These are SSO-themed questions for your SSO OC! Obvs, feel free to reblog to get asked yourself, and ask me for any of my kiddos! Some of these DO HAVE SPOILERS.

1. What is their home stable in-game? Why?

2. Where do they actually live in Jorvik?

3. Who is their favorite NPC? (Obvs they wouldn’t be for our characters, but you know)

4. Who is their Soul Steed? What breed are they? Do they have any markings or look different in some way from the in-game appearance you could give them?

5. What is their favorite location? (Ex, Hollow Woods, Greendale, Silverglade Manor Library) Why?

6. Who’s their favorite horse? Why?

7. What are their powers? Are they stronger with one Circle over any of the others?

8. What’s their usual style? Any favorite tack sets or color themes for them?

9. Thoughts about Jorvik City? How do they feel about Rania’s petition for a horse-friendly Jorvik City?

10. Thoughts about Justin? (I’m sorry, I’m curious, he shows up so much)

11. How do they feel about the magical horse race at the circus? Did they enjoy being a horse?

12. Do they trust the Druids? Or how do they feel about them?

13. Least favorite NPC?

14. How do they make their money?

15. How many horses do they own?

16. How many pets do they have? What kind? What are their names?

17. How do they feel about the Soul Riders? Do they trust them? Feel like an outsider? Are they closer to some over the others?

18. Do they believe something mystical, magical, or otherwise strange really exists in Dino Valley? How did they feel about the leaving of the Kallter and the roar/scream/screech in the Valley?

19. Thoughts about Jorvik Wild Horses?

20. Do you think they are a Wild Whisperer? Or are they just bonded with their Soul Steed?

21. What’s their favorite Jorvegian holiday or celebration?

22. What do they think or feel about Pandoria? Have they or do they visit outside of the quests (using the rifts)? If they have or still do, why?

23. How has their visit(s) to Pandoria affected them? Do they have scars? Has it affected any of their life views?

24. Would they ever consider working for Dark Core or believing their side?

25. What or who is Garnok to them? A dark presence? A squid-like monster? A child with a ridiculously complicated jumping course (fuckin @’s Lizzy)?

26. Do they ever go to the Disco? If they don’t, would they ever consider going? What would it take to make them go?

27. Disco or Moorland Beach party?

28. Are they interested in helping with archaeology or fishing?

29. How do they feel about Igor, the waiter/manager of the Dino Valley cafe, and whom seemed interested in your horse for… “culinary reasons?”

30. Do they like the perpetual winter of Dino Valley or the perpetual autumn/fall of Goldenhills Valley, or is it strange to them? Do they prefer one over the other, or neither?

ask oc asks star stable star stable online sso ss online seriously ask me things

my concept for a “friesphobia” flag

fries · pho · bi · a (noun) - the hatred or fear of dressage clubs on star stable online.

dark red stands for the blood of innocent victims of dressage violence

bright red stands for aggression of dressage clubs when you enter the riding arena

light red stands for the star stable logo (vaguely)

white stands for inciting the wrath of god

light blue stands for the color of getting bullied in the in-game chat

bright blue stands for the amount of star coins wasted on tack sets/outfits

dark blue stands for “bluebloods”/prissy people

black stands for the color of club horses (friesians)

feel free to use this flag however you want :3c

Right. I came across these on Facebook in a response to somebody (crossing their name out to be safe). I’ll translate first:

Hi [name]! Thank you for expressing your worry for the well-being of those of us working at Star Stable. We are aware that some players have recently discovered Glassdoor, which is a website where current and previous employees anonymously review companies. While we take all feedback about our company seriously, the anonymous reviews on Glassdoor are just one source of information among many. We are already working hard to solve some of the challenges that have arisen around the engineering (?) and will continue to do so in the future. We have a strong and happy friendship culture at Star Stable, which is also reflected in the same reviews. We appreciate your worry for us, but we promise that we are very happy to be part of building the fantastic world of Star Stable - and naturally that includes more quests and even bigger future surprises!

Now… I’m glad they do appear to actually be aware that people have found the reviews online. That’s a good start.

But I’m sceptical about some of this. I’d understand wanting to really ensure that people know they’re fine, but some of this comes across like, “They told me to say this” or something?

I realise it’s important to highlight that there’s both good and bad in reviews about SSE as a workplace, but saying “We have a strong and happy friendship culture” does come off a little “we’re a family here,” I suppose. As does “we promise that we are very happy to be part of…” actually. The very last part of the sentence talking about more quests and surprises in the future feels especially out of place for a response to a comment worrying about the well-being of employees. Sort of “Here, we’ll promise you highly requested content in vague terms, that should settle you, right?”

Look, maybe I’m reading too much into this response to a Facebook comment. Maybe I’m not. I don’t really want to project my own personal worries and versions of reality onto something that might be totally different from my perception of it. But my main takeaway from this is, I do think management needs to 1) Make a proper statement and not just social media comments (though, the more of these are made, the more it’ll have to push them to actually make a proper statement) and 2) Not just say things, but put words into action and fix whatever is wrong with working for them.

Promising that the staff are fine would absolutely calm some people down, why would you want to believe they’re lying about that, but it’s not enough here. They need to rethink how they respond to these types of situations, and I do think that to some extent - even if I don’t know to what extent - they are trying to diffuse the situation a tad with this. At least it comes off that way.

(My brain isn’t at 100% right now so feel free to add on or highlight something I might’ve missed or elaborate on what I’ve already said)

SSO blog Masterpost

Hello!

We’ve had another big wave of new sso blogs, as well as a few people messaging me and asking to be removed from the old SSO blog Masterpost, so I figured we should redo it completely to clear out any outdated blogs and blogs that might not want to be on it anymore.

Reblog this post and I will add your name to a masterpost of all ssoblr blogs that can be linked to new members asking about who to follow, as well as act as a reference for older members to look through and find new blogs they might not have seen yet :)
