Maybe I'm missing where the complaint from the player that was mentioned in the start of this thread came from, but I read the OOC meeting log and I don't see it in there. I think Steven or someone mentioned assets, but it looked like it was during the domain discussion. So the only thing I can thin...

Suggestion was more that in gourmet dishes you could use fine spices OR vanilla/cinnamon/whatever super rare spice. So a gourmet dish could be gourmet cake: consumes: 1x Fine spices OR 1x vanilla bean If the idea is to incorporate rare spices into 'fine spices' then I'd like to see the easy to grow/...

Like it!

I never really RP'd much with the banned player, but did have frustration over wait time in scenes. My experience has generally been that players that tend to take a long time, still take a minute, but the couple of scenes I've had tended to move along at a slightly quicker pace (not within the 5 mi...

To be fair, that goes both ways. While turns are not required, most people feel it is polite to allow it, so longer/slower posing styles can significantly impact scenes in the same fashion. That pressures people to take part in the longer style and/or have less interaction. I have found myself writi...

Please, no. Five minutes is fine. If you make it in that time, great. If you don't, there's no penalty. Ten minutes is what, 5-6 emotes in an hour? That's really not encouraging faster times with user error (folks missing occasionally).

I suppose this should be taken with a grain of salt because I don't particularly like guilds or normally associate my characters with them, but I don't think this is the death knell of every covert character. Census had something like 50+ people being in guilds and some 90+ being in game. That's har...

Right now, herbalism is insanely easy to pool, especially in relation to most other skills. Medicine only pools via use in treat or making medicines, but with herbalism, anytime I tend or harvest a plant it pools, so somehow just by looking over my garden I can make the most advanced poisons in the ...

Case in point - speeches that could be made to other PCs live on grid to generate RP rather than to vNPCs who are RPed as agreeing with the poster. Gathering a crowd to give a three paragraph speech to is beyond remarkably boring for everyone involved; IC_Events are really most appropriate for thes...

This is a really difficult discussion to have, as stated, because it isn't clear what theme is in these discussions or what it means to be unthematic. From Desna's post, it seems being a heretic might be viewed as unthematic. But most heretical groups HAVE theme and lore around them for characters t...
