Re: Writing Good Rumours

What counts as a 'good rumor' or a 'good rumor reply' is a matter of opinion, but what I really like about this guide is that it clarifies the point of "circles," which I never fully understood until now.

Re: Fleeing Policy

As with all IC actions that could affect others, the general expectation is that when someone visibly leaves a room, they will provide some context or description, however brief. From Voxumo's explanation, it sounds like the issue wasn't whether the escape was emoted but whether the other players in...

Re: Fleeing Policy

There's room for confusion here, since FLEE is a coded command that can only be initiated in combat, and it requires an emote to execute. I think what Kinaed is referring to is making an escape outside of combat? I agree with Dice that faster typing shouldn't be incentivized over RP, either for the ...

Re: [Poll] Regnancy

I voted yes, it should stay. Regnancy is one of those abilities that, in the hands of an attentive and thoughtful player, can be exciting and produce some really great and complex RP -- but in the hands of someone who just 'plays to win' could likely end up being a bad time for the victim, both ICly...

Re: Yeastsmithing

Just this morning, I was wishing I had something like this, actually. Would certainly give me a fruitful means to use up my overabundance of potatoes and honey.

Re: Retainer Upkeep Costs

Cool. So, I'm not sure the extent to which the immortal weekly payments are meant to 'soften the blow' or for how long, but due to RL circumstances, I haven't been able to RP the past couple of weeks. As I've fallen inactive, I didn't receive either my most recent weekly payment OR the bonus payment...

Re: Teach Lore

My first thought, actually, was that I might not want my teacher knowing my actual skill level unless I RP informing them of it. And any kind of output with emoting suggestions is going to give that information away in a fashion that could be metagamed. (Not to mention, teaching can happen in a grou...

Re: Retainer Upkeep Costs

I'd prefer a bi-weekly payment requirement, for OOC convenience, but if we can pay 'back wages' after one week, I suppose it's fine as-is. If pets will continue to take up NPC slots, though, I want to add my vote in favor of removing the hard limit. With the changes to NPC costs and upkeep, it's an ...
