/i have hard time imagining what would be a neutral response to a rumour, i mean if it relates in any way about the topic then it is taking some kind of stance on it. Even with peanut gallery comments they heckle it one way or another, adding to that side.

Yes oh god yes please. I keep on forgetting that every single time

Question remains as of why? What good does it bring to the game, beside shutting of part of the population from using the "search" command?

Yea, and that pushes you to "tell before messanger" which I am not big fan off as when possible I prefer to arrange my RP via IC means, not over tells. And if I got simple indication whether someone is around the PC or not makes it a bit easier.

The helpfile about Taint said that only certain spells make mages 'evil'. So if mages don't use those certain spells, I'd have to agree with Dice. There is no scientific law that says that all Mages turn evil, it's just a very, very common thing. Which, if you ask me, sounds better. Help taint seem...

I don't agree at all with what Puciek is saying - it is not FACT that magic makes people descend into evil. It's a theory put forth by the Order that many mages do say can be true, but it's not something mages are required to RP. Mages are 100% fine RPing just using their magic in their day-to-day ...

I love that we can set iAW/AFk with a message, but it kinda takes away its power that we have to tell someone before we can get an idea that they have it on (if we are not in the same room) and what is it's message, while I think it would be super helpful to have that show up in whois. This way when...

Not sure if there is a public helpfile on it, but this is the explanation that was passed on mages channel whenever it was brought up. May actually be a good idea to form this into an actual helpfile.

Well many people skip latency, either with IC events that awaken mages or by spending QP on it (less common I would imagine). There also are periods where you are allowed to start with awakened mage. And you have to understand that while most spells are indeed there to aid them in evil ways, mages A...

Well, the connection is supposed to come during latency as you get awakened. If that part of process is skipped then indeed mage is a very tough sell to play as everything pixie said is true. So I would say that the key to playing a mage is not to skip the latent period. Yes, you are very vulnerable...
