You can't just flat-out say that more people would want it gone than to keep it. There's no way to really know that. The people who visit the forums are a fraction of the pbase, and the people who post a fraction of that. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater is not the solution. Holding people a...

From the counter-arguments, it sounds like the problem is lack of transparency and punishment. A way for people to be notified of a rumor being taken down and why would help people create better, less contentious rumors in the future. And the IP farming could be stemmed by making the cost of posting...

The rumor mill is just fine. The problem, from this thread, seems to instead be unthematic rumors and multiple rumors about the same subject. The first is certainly something you can report to staff. I think the second is, too, but I honestly don't remember 100%. Players being more vigilant about re...

I don't think it is helpful to the conversation to just accuse people that are in support of a certain policy as meta gamers. It's not an accusation. It's a statement of fact. Using OOC information (in the form of the WHO list this time) to affect your RP in any way is the definition of metagaming,...

Plenty of RPE and almost all RPI games do not have a 'who' command. This issue is very simple: If people being whoinvis affects your RP, then you are metagaming. "Who" is OOC information. If "who" affects your RP, you are metagaming. If "who" does not affect your RP, then "whoinvis" should not be ca...

When I played, I would just buy all of the one-silver rumors every time I logged in. Sometimes higher, if I was playing a particularly wealthy gentry, but generally just the one silver rumors. Between that and the freebie rumors you get for logging in, you'll end up getting them all after a few week...

It was a resource that pooled as you roleplayed. It could be spent to pool skills without using them. It's been a long time since it was around, so I admittedly don't remember a lot of the details, but a way to pool without grind (but still requiring RPXP) seems like it would only encourage roleplay...

An easier answer would be to just bring Inspiration back.

Doubly beneficial because it lets people RP to improve their skills rather than forcing people to grind.

Removing it remains a bewildering decision.

Tattooing, for one, certainly isn't considered high-class by most of the Kingdom, and is covered by art. That's kind of a silly rationale without any basis in TI theme. Puciek, please stop presenting your own opinions as facts of TI lore. It's okay to have opinions, but don't present them as fact. Y...

This seems like it could be used to associate characters with account names, which is bad and invites metagaming. Not sure what the problem was with the old way.
