Re: Feedback on the Merchants' Guild

Not a Merchant player, but I'd like to echo Pixie's point about need vs. desire: If you have a shop stocked full of items that let me feel like a fancy lass to own I will want your items that make me feel like a fancy lass, especially if (and maybe this is just because of my generation,) they make m...

Re: Determining Successes in Interrogations

I guess I'd also raise the question of effectiveness. How often, OOC, are we really expecting hardened criminals who've seen the worst of Southside or mages who do (insert nasty things you imagine mages doing here) on the regular to break with reliable information? How do you guarantee these guys ar...

Re: Capital Crimes and Misuse of Power

As a player, I've definitely not ever been entirely clear on what the difference between lawful executions and straight-up murder is, if that's what's being asked. Like, I can tell that sometimes things smell funny, but not that there are set-in-stone IC rules being violated, if that makes sense? Bu...

Re: Crime: Code and Culture

I dig this idea of 'messenger profiles' ala courier profiles. Maybe being findable while cloaked on a certain profile could be a premium option that costs some extra silver? I guess the concern there is that characters who are purely spooky or sneaky types would never want to take their cloaks off u...

Re: Seeking RP & Matching

Maybe I'm just a bizarre exception but I usually have a harder time spending RPXP than getting it, so I don't know if we'd need an RPXP bonus for seeking RP tags? I'm not sure if this is common among the pbase, so I don't want to speak for everyone. I do totally want the tag though.

Re: Seeking RP & Matching

So to be clear, I feel being online means you should expect the unexpected in terms of RP encounters , IMO, but it'd be great if there was a way to let people know that while you aren't in a public space right now, you're imminently available for e.g. messengers or knocks. (I think some people alrea...

Re: Trial removal of some OOC Channels

Tasker and Kuzco already mentioned messengers and I wanted to chime in with my own concern about that. Oftentimes I think pinging someone via tell was being oft used as a workaround to the cost and convenience issues of messengers, which while understandable, sometimes feel straight-up unrealistic. ...

Re: Methods of Poison Delivery

Or are you thinking of making it more like a trap? Incense that fills the room with a poisonous smoke that lasts for a while, possibly affecting those who enter? Seems doable, there's similar magic effects in game. This is what I was thinking, yeah! It'd have to assume that the room is indoors/unde...

Re: Methods of Poison Delivery

A way to sneakily spike stuff sounds like an absolutely wonderful way to deliver some mayhem. As has been mentioned, though, I definitely agree that this would require a rethinking of how stealthy actions in big crowds are handled in general . Speaking of smells, tangentially, what about a way to de...

Re: On corpses

Seeing "carrying a dead body" is a little freaky. I imagine on a glance someone be able to tell the difference between an animal corpse and, say, a human body (since one of those is definitely scarier than the other!)
