I'll agree this feels like a punishment. I'll also add that this especially sucks for bards. If i'm trying to do bardic rp in a tavern to fit a scene then -yeah- i'm going to take more than 5 minutes . Would I love to be able to bang out thematic, scene fitting RP in 5 minutes? Absolutely. Is that a...

Something I haven't seen mentioned here is that if you RP long enough you will eventually auto-awaken as a Latent. There are not, to my knowledge any additional signs or ways to determine latency beyond summoning a demon. There are no code benefits to finding a mage to awaken you compared to having ...

I'd be really really reluctant to go back to a standard 5 minute per pose (unless it's in something like larger scenes with turns where you can pre-write pretty effectively). Often times, for me, even in a one on one, it takes around 5-10 for me to respond as i'm really thinking through the scene an...

I'd like to echo galaxgal here. What's done is done and what the focus of this discussion needs to be is how do we move forward here. There's no point dwelling on the past except as yina said where it helps to draw a parallel or use as an example 1). As a non-powerful role player I definitely feel t...

So this is a pretty simple thing. For those who don't know or are not horribly familiar with the command. Meditate Beacon is a command which sends out a beacon which alerts other mages in astral of your approximate location (and is more specific if your fairly close). The change I was thinking of wa...

As an added sense of 'security' perhaps if the target has voidsense up, then the void messenger could not be heard by others? It's already used as protection against several spells. (vision of leagues comes to mind) so why not add this to the list of things it could defend against at the same time? ...

This one is pretty self explanatory. I strongly feel that void messengers should be considered thoughts, and 'pose' to the room as such, making it possible to pick them up via auspex. Instead of treating it as a regular thought, maybe put in something like 'a thought suddenly inserts itself into a w...

How about instead of tying it to the character, tie it to the account? That way there's a way to distinguish between true blue cyans, who, frankly have no idea have the system works (and should probably get a little bit of experience with TI in general first) and prevent them from engaging in that f...

If that was done, then it's damage would have to be redone so it was appropriate to round based combat. Increasing rather significantly most like, so the caster wouldn't be immediately swarmed by 6 or 7 people. Since it IS intended to be a crowd control spell. For that matter, it should DEFINATELY, ...

Ok, as I think we all saw earlier, Atmospheric Vortex is just a tad broken in it's current form. It's a mass murder weapon, and it really shouldn't be an 'I win now' button like it seems to be in it's current state. A few things about the spell for those who don't know. 1. It saps MV and then HP, ev...
