Re: Tax info and metagaming concerns

I know for a fact I'm not the only one concerned or who has had this idea, but it's not my place to speak up for others. All I can do is present an argument and see what happens. :) I'm not going to feel bullied by the "you're the only one who has a problem" argument, either. I'd much rather be cons...

Slipping paper under doors

For reasons both devious and entirely innocent, I would love the ability to slip sheets of paper (notes, mail, letters) under doors. Possibly envelopes, too, unless that seems too easy to abuse. ^_^

Re: Tax info and metagaming concerns

Here's a scenario to clarify my concerns. Maybe someone who plays a Reeve could tell me if its even possible, however "unlikely" (because I think it's wise to at least be aware of the possibilities): A character is arrested for X reason, their keys are confiscated and the Reeves decide to look throu...

Re: Tax info and metagaming concerns

To my knowledge, the Reeves only have access to unpaid or monthly taxes, not the total cost of the phome, which would greatly alter my argument. Monthly taxes have a very predictable relationship to the number of rooms in a home. The staff member I was in communication with at the time informed me t...

Re: Tax info and metagaming concerns

So what I'm reading is that the amounts ARE available to Reeves, but people don't think Reeves will metagame the information. All right, then. ^_^ Well it's never been an issue before, and it doesn't seem like it's an issue now. With all due respect: how would you know whether or not another player...

Re: Portals, Exits, and Traps - Policy Concerns

Concerns are just concerns. Not meant to be inflammatory, vaxin. Your phome was very scary, and kudos to you. My points were: 1) if certain things are going to be allowed for phomes, then the rest of us should at least know they're a possibility -- AFAIK, we don't have a well-defined portals policy,...

Re: Tax info and metagaming concerns

I was under the impression that property taxes ARE levies, or appear under the levy system. I also had a chat with a staff member some weeks ago that suggested that the tax amounts are readily available to Reeves, though they might have meant through RPA?

Tax info and metagaming concerns

It's my understanding that tax information, including amounts, is available to Reeves with the levy command. I want to point out that because of the predictable relationship between tax rates and number of "rooms" in a phome, Reeves could use that information to doggedly search for hidden exits and ...
