Re: Subversion has a bad rap

Rather than touch on something anyone specific says... I will just state that I used to love IP and the influence/support system. I thought it was great. But over time I've grown to hate the system. I think that initially, I loved the idea of it more than how it was implemented. I don't think we'll ...

Re: Enabling Conflict

Heresy isn't something that you build up to. Like "sin twenty times and now you're a heretic!" It's got its own definition as a sin. Upgrading crimes like that isn't super helpful for anyone on either side of the conflict line. I would argue the exact opposite here. Repeatedly committing higher lev...

Re: Enabling Conflict

I don't think it is wrong to accommodate that at all dice, but it feels like lately anyone who is on the 'lawful' side is getting hammered for not being more accommodating while getting hammered for not being more proactive about dealing with these threats. It's a really damned annoying catch 22 to ...

Re: Enabling Conflict

I get really frustrated because I overlook things or don't actively pursue things when people are actively working against my characters and do it repeatedly so as to not shut them down, but I'm called weak for it. When I finally respond and go after someone because it's one step too far and I can't...

Re: Subversion Falloff

You get a pboard when you support is falling off from lack of ic contact. At least, there -used- to be, but i don't know if that is still the case.

Re: Retainer Upkeep Costs

I agree, the charge being every ooc month makes it a bit more palatable, also especially with a drop in the base cost of these mobs.

Re: Retainer Upkeep Costs

PC Guards can fight back sure, but I am with BattleJenkins on this, you can almost never rely on a PC guard to be around when you need them. Yes sometimes you can, especially if you both have similar play times, but that means you have to find someone who is a combat oriented character, who wants to...

Re: Retainer Upkeep Costs

We also just got husbandry in... which is has a lot of... pets. >.> We already need to tend a good portion of them with giving them feed and what not to represent an upkeep cost. this is going to just further put a damper on things.

Re: Retainer Upkeep Costs

I'm just a little concerned because I've seen the argument 'the players earn enough money to afford it' used every now and then to justify an increase in the price point of something. And taken individually, sure we might be able to. But when you take everything that a player needs to pay for at the...
