Re: Gentry and the Southside

I can barely make out what this post is about, but what I do know is that using a patronym is not illegal if you're not a noble or gentry. At best, people might view a character doing that as pompous. Call me crazy, but using context clues from the two posts made here, I'd say that there's a larger...

Re: Things to Do that Aren't RP

Right off the bat, I'll be frank - It's early in the morning, I don't have any ideas, and I'm just popping in to offer a warning : With every idea that you guys come up with, safely assume that it will be taken to it's logical extremes, every time. Safely assume that there will be more than one play...

Re: Why Are Assets Limited to Chargen?

Just to briefly put my $0.02 in here, take it with a grain of salt, as always: My concern with the update is that this puts the onus of economy stimulation upon older players, whilst leaving newer players in the dust. As older players already have some very notable advantages (QP in spades, XP somet...

Re: Hacking through vines

I'm in support of any idea that allows for balancing of these spells. I'd suggest that, perhaps as well, they could be lit on fire by Mundanes? Or maybe there can be a specific chopping item (like a woodcutting axe) that can be used to do something - anything - against spells of that nature.

Re: Communal Brainstorm for Non-Lethal Order/Mage Conflict!

There's never going to be a end all for this conversation, unfortunately - some Orderites play one way, some play the other. Some are stabby, others are less so. Some are forgiving sorts, others aren't in the least. So let that be the disclaimer here. No matter what is decided, this will probably be...

Re: Individual Piety

“Fund our southside food drive and we will see about talking to the merchant’s guild to lower the taxes on certain imported goods.” Players notice this, Brotherhood gets involved with Orderite business, and someone winds up either bullied out of the game or dead. This has actually been tried multip...

Re: Individual Piety

One of the current problems with playing priests is played out on this thread. OOCly, people consider attending such functions boring and a waste of their time and will freely say so. That confession is a risk (true) and well ... speaking to someone might not be able to help, so why bother. I'm not...

Re: Individual Piety

Unfortunately, piety is dead and gone. I love the suggestions, I do, but it's gone, and it's not coming back. We've been told in no uncertain terms that it won't be coming back - though, to be honest, we had that conversation so long ago that I don't even recall the reason. I'm sure it had something...

Re: How far should Anonymity in rumors go?

Voxumo, you know I rarely agree with you on anything. We've butted heads in the past quite a lot. On this, however, I do agree. Accusing a character of pedophilia? Really. This is where we're at in terms of rumors. This is where we've gone. Lovely. I'm proud, even. I love reading about that. What's ...

Re: The Death of the Physicians

I think you're blowing this tremendously out of proportion, but I've never had Herbalism or Medicine as a skill on my characters, so I honestly don't know. As far as I can make out, Medicine will be a guildskill, and will force people to the Medicus to get treatment. Herbalism will cease to be a gui...
