Re: Universal IC Turnaround Expectations

I understand the purpose of the post. I was attempting to express that I did not feel that 72 hours was an appropriate window and that the window for the community standard for following up should be a week. My mention of making sure it's clear that the response did not indicate a resolution was an ...

Re: Universal IC Turnaround Expectations

I'd be hesitant to have player reaction be the same turn around time as handled by staff for major issues; I've certainly had periods where I can't play during the work week and can on the weekends, and that'd be longer than a 72 hour turn around. Additionally, mail isn't received automatically, the...

Re: Charali Racial Perspectives

Keep in mind that the Indo-Europeans and Bell-Beakers are part of the same phenomenon as the Mongols. All these groups are steppe nomads. The Mongols are just the last major group of steppe nomads to arrive on the scene. The Indo-European expansion was the first wave of steppe nomads to span the Eu...

Re: Charali Racial Perspectives

So I think we have a very different imagining of the Charali. I've never thought of them as Indo-European or Bellbreakers, more Mongolia. I don't think either of us is right/wrong on one place versus the other, just that it may be impacting why it doesn't seem to be a major contradiction for me. I d...

Re: Opening up Plots to More Players

I may be an oddball, because I generally like the plot system and use it (or try and encourage its use for others, helping them learn the system). I really dislike the idea of mandatory rumors. A bonus for rumors might be easier, as there are cases where might be manageable middle ground. I often do...

Re: Charali Racial Perspectives

Didn't think of the guilds! Knights: "How much of our land has been taken by enterprising Vavardi Knights under the excuse of their patrols?" Merchants: "Always get agreements in writing; even then, it may not be possible to hold them to their word." Physicians: "May as well just jump into a swamp o...

Re: Charali Racial Perspectives

Vavardi: "Never trust them - care more about coin than people." Vavardi: "The Charali that join their colonies have no more freedom than a cow hedged in by fences in a farmer's pasture." Tubori: "Keep your wits about you around them, else you will wind up a slave." Tubori: "Free of spirit, like wolv...

Re: Guild Exemptions for City Metrics

I think the only exception that's being suggested is when guilds need certain things to do their work, like morris medical supply for the Physicians or Gailiech ores for the Merchants; stuff like that, where they HAVE to buy from on grid shops to do their guild thing. Oh and as far as I know, GL sh...
