That's lazy though and requires zero effort from the latent player, just wait for a mage to find you. I'd much rather have proper guidance for new player so they know how latency manifests. Its kind of impossible to put the burden of finding a mage on the latent, because there's no way to detect a ...

I agree that mages should have some method to detect a Latent. If it was a spell, then it would have to be a universal one that any element could use. I kind of don't want it to be a spell though. Maybe just a chance when looking at an individual that they get a flavor message like '<element of late...

Hello! I'm pretty new to TI and after hearing this rule I almost left. Today I had my first RP scene and it was between me and one other wonderful player just talking in the Town Hall. Now since I'm brand new rpxp is sorta important to develop my character concept, so I don't like the idea of being...

It's a curious thing to say "It's unthemely to admit characters to a guild purely because it's what their parents did." in a game that also says "This is the position you were born in to, this is your station. If you deny it that is sinful and you are a heretic." In that kind of environment, "becau...

Hi there. I'm going to provide some clarity on the matter which engendered this topic. The cyan individual was denied (initially, not permanently), because their character did not have a strong IC motivation for joining, when the guild they were attempting to join is frequently responsible for peopl...

I agree with this idea, although I think it might be difficult to code.

In the context of this type of game, I consider winning to be the accomplishment of IC goals and desires. For many mage characters, perhaps that is simple survival, in which case their passive behavior contributes to their 'winning'. When I speak of change, I mean causing or influencing events to cr...

But did they truly 'win'? Did they make any real change? Or did they simply survive while being more of an IC annoyance than a threat?

I believe that aggressive mage play is discouraged on a meta level by how utterly entrenched and maxed out enemies of mages tend to be, with multiple body guard retainers, max tier weapons and armor, max combat skills, lots of wealth, lots of IC power that is simply given to them through the theme a...

That isn't why Europeans and Slavics are white in real life. Time for an impromptu history and biology lesson! Europeans are white because of climate . Humankind's early ancestors were all, obviously, from Africa, which is a land of perpetual summer, with mild or sometimes even no winters. Snow is u...
