Being a good person as a facade and a monster behind closed doors is absolutely thematic. I've been involved in significant portions of the horrible things Farra has done. One could go so far as to say "pious facade, monster in private" is one of the two main points of the theme (the other being the...

It's not always been the trend. The bump from 74 to 75 is borderline meaningless for most every skill that isn't combat or crafting (or magic, sometimes. Maybe. Depends on how much you like making it rain). And even some crafts don't really need GM'd. That's not to say that this idea doesn't have me...

But I note you're playing here, so I'll take that as an indicator that things aren't perfect in that scenario either. I'm perfectly capable of playing more than one game at once. In recent years, TI has gone from hands-down my favorite MU* to one I can barely stomach idling on. That decline has inc...

I feel like there is some strawmanning going on here in this thread. I don't think anyone is talking about reporting a guy on the street to staff for not wearing a hat. That's silly. What we need is when it becomes a top-down problem. When the Seneschal or GI or a noble are being unthematic, it dama...

Removing risk from Mages is bad for theme and bad for the game, in my opinion. Some of the best, most fun RP I've had as a mage is when I decided to take a risk and meet with other mages I met through Astral or Auspex. I'd vote a hard no to this. Trade in person, not on the witch equivalent to ebay.

Being app 5 can lead to fun RP, too.

Charging XP to be exceptional is how chargen has always worked. I don't think a small, token XP charge to be abnormal is some undue burden.

Not like anyone was talking about 10k per inch or anything.

@Rothgar Theme is not 1400s Europe. Theme is Urth. They are not the same. Urth is not as brutal as 1400s Europe was. Theme is also not "realistic" so using real life as a reason why we shouldn't strive to be thematic is a flawed argument. As to the actual topic of the thread, I'm pretty sure staff a...

I find it remarkable that people are arguing so strongly for metagaming on an RP enforced game. The who list is metagaming, flat out. It's knowing OOC things for your IC benefit. People don't have to use that information to hunt down and kill people for it to be metagaming. Looking at the who list, ...

Some asset resources are mostly useful in bulk. Particularly food items, but some others as well. It would be useful to allow 'asset redeem # #' to also allow you to specify a number of that resource you want to redeem. Maybe "asset redeem 1 1 10" to spawn ten apples or whatever. This purchase would...

MV regen boosting would not be overpowered, in my opinion, for the simple fact that you can fully regain all MV in a few seconds of spamming 'drink fountain'. Plus it's what meditation traditionally does on other MU*s, lowering confusion for new players. If I remember right, at least; been a long ti...
