Re: Mages and confessions

Also, the Pyring isn't just someone getting some sticks together and lighting them and throwing a sinner on them. It isn't ritualistic, it is just quite literally strap the person to the pole and light the fire underneath them. If people actually rped the ritualistic process I'd agree, but I haven'...

Re: Mages and confessions

Okay, legit question regarding most of that... Where the flying fish is the information that you are basing this view/interpretation of the inquisition on from? (...) The supposed artifacts, books and whatnot that were corrupted by the consolidation even though that makes no sense given the consoli...

Re: Mages and confessions

Okay, legit question regarding most of that... Where the flying fish is the information that you are basing this view/interpretation of the inquisition on from? I played GI and I've played a few inquisitors, and I don't recall any help files that touch on a vast portion of this view, unless it was a...

Re: Mages and confessions

Case in point ... this thread wherein arguably recent, arguably still active RP is now being discussed, dissected, and commented on in the OOC realm. Of late this seems IMHO to happen too often where things get taken to the Court of Public Opinion rather than dealt with ICly. Wherein folks then fee...

Re: Mages and confessions

What I feel is needed, is that inquisitors don't use their IC power to lock the Lore to a single interpretation, IE don't begin to believe that their interpretation is the only acceptable one from an OOC point of view. I think there's a lot of confusion about the IC and OOC line here. OOCly people ...

Re: The Stranglehold of the Holy Order

It seems like the amount of time it takes to be promoted is a recurring theme among responses, so perhaps that is something worth considering?

Re: The Stranglehold of the Holy Order

Staff are not issue of why the order is failing. Perhaps the confusing lore could be blamed on staff, but blaming staff, specifically the position of cardinal as the reason why the order is failing and has such low numbers is ridiculous, as it had such problems well before current events. The order ...

Re: The Stranglehold of the Holy Order

What I'm taking away from this discussion is that we should re-examine when it's appropriate for the Cardinal to intervene. I agree that having the Cardinal as a staff fail-safe to protect theme is important - removing that won't fix anything. However, if players have a problem that can be resolved...

Re: The Stranglehold of the Holy Order

I feel it's important to note that the power the Cardinal has has not changed since it became an npc exclusive role, nor has staff's influence on the order. When the cardinal was still a pc role, they too had the authority to remove a GI, and were often the ones players would go to to complain about...
