I like whoinvis just as it is. I don't think playing the game incognito requires any justification whatsoever. Does anyone else remember a time in this game when who only listed how many players were online and didn't give any names at all? I feel like that's the default foR TI: nobody is required t...

50k exp, when you have no more skills to raise or simply focus on wealth, is about 70-80 RP hours, if you RP 10 hours a week, you can do it once every 2 months, and the amount of gold brought through it was massive, enough to buy estate and leave some for taxes. Just wanna note that 10 hours a week...

Pious Davite cat. Apparently not an oxymoron. You look at what a mangy, half-starved feral cat is carrying: [She has no beltpouch.] a copper-nosed bluegill fish with a light, fanning tail fin some roasted fish ( 9)a shot of rum a serving of herbed beef sausage with a rich, creamy gravy a short lengt...

Right, right! IC treatment of the subjects. That's a better direction. This is the part I'm squeamish about, but you're probably correct about, and bugs me to no end: I think the simplest explanation is that whatever is shared in the subject is shared ICly along with the rumor, through whatever vNPC...

You're probably right. But I really, really dislike it. =P

I -like- the brief phrase idea. Very much.

And really, the reason I'm posting these thoughts (and feel so strongly about them) is because this -isn't- an extreme hypothetical case. That situation HAS happened, and recently. I just don't play an inquisitor.

Eh. I see the information as tainted if I haven't learned it through a traceable IC path. Really, it's not -about- my enjoyment, that's incidental. OOC/IC separation is the cornerstone of the game, and this is a fuzzy/gray area that could stand some clarification. Say I'm an inquisitor, and a rumor ...

This may or may not be the place to note this, but I have a comment on the rumor system. Sometimes a dirty rumor pops up that is intentionally vague, and doesn't outright name the person involved. I read it, and start to get all excited because I have no idea who this nasty rumor is all about, and I...

"The disemboweled mercenary crumpled from his saddle and sank to the clouded sward, sprinkling the parched dust with crimson droplets of escaping life fluid." Crow: You mean blood?

An assassin stalking their victim and learning their routine isn't interacting with that person. They're hiding, and sneaking, and probably don't want to blow their cover by actually interacting with their mark before it's go time. Are there people putting hits out on brand new cyan newbies? Is this...
