But it doesn't help when order leadership tend to have differing interpretations. So let's say you are a priest during one GI, and they held a certain interpretation, however in comes the next GI who interprets it differently. Creates a bit of a problem. Such is the nature of things. One Grand Inqu...

I am agreeing with Deadhandsome on the desastrous side effect of IC blackballing on the Order's population, and the motivation of seekers. We could have racist priests/knights, alcoholic ones, or simply characters who do not make consensus on the player base. We absolutely could. Perhaps said racis...

I think one reading of: "known sinners who refuse to repent on their own will often receive a visit from Church Inquisitors, and avoiding their reach is punished far more strictly than by those priests conducting confession." might be that those who do not seek confession will be visited by Inquisi...

> No good Davite admits to being a mage and then doesn't turn themselves in to the Inquisition. Well, that kind of sentence is an inquisitorial interpretation of the lore. There are other valid interpretations: - though the mage is a good davite, and knows not being pyred will make him become a dem...

As a new player who made a character for the first time with the Order I have to say one major thing. A MAJOR thing. That stands in the way of a larger and more prevalent Order presence. When any character in the Order during the four IRL MONTHS that it takes to make your rank does ANYTHING at all ...

I absolutely agree with Evrald's interpretation of things. And, again, while everyone agrees that the Cardinal should be used when a Grand Inquisitor "goes rogue", this isn't the way that the Cardinal has been used. I get "responding to PC plots", but I've always heard Staff comment that Staff Assis...

The Grand Inquisitor does not have more power than they did before the removal of the Cardinal position except as far as authority within the Guild itself goes — power that likely never comes into play in the scenarios people have outlined. That their superior is played by someone who is able to act...

My feelings are mixed a little on staff control of first tier rulers. I think it likely has lead to stagnation, but I also appreciate a neutral third party to turn to if shit hits the fan- e.g. the Thieves in the Reeves situation mentioned in OOC chat. I've never actually used the life-line myself,...

I cannot personally recall a single time the Cardinal has raised a finger without a player raising a plot or writing him to seek arbitration. I think it is very appropriate and necessary for Staff to maintain the NPC layer and higher authority. This is probably a lot of the answer then, isn't it? I...

The Order seems low turnover at the top, and high turnover at the bottom. Maybe it's only fun to play if you're a boss? GLs can probably fix that with minimal effort. We're on our 5th Grand Inquisitor since I returned in Novembrish, which includes about a month of staff using an old character to ho...
