  • Work is sending me to Japan for work and I am following that up with vacation. So starting next week I will likely be largely absent and on the opposite from my normal times if I am here. 

    I shall see everyone in a month or so at that poi…
  • (Quote) Magnagora would not ban something that can be beneficial, that is why contemptible status exists. You can serve without being a more ideal form, so long as you work for the Engine, and acknowledge that your status is naturally lower. …
  • Just throwing in my 2 sovereigns.

    Mal does not care about race. They have purpose to him, only in two factors:
    1) Aesthetics, as he tends to notice a lass with fur.
    2) Racial ability, as he sometimes asks for specific ones.
  • (Quote) You mean Project F or Monkish? Monkish frequently had pure nerfs. I would not call them balanced reports, many reports ended up pure nerf or buff, but it did allow coordinated reporting, so we often did a buff and nerf together. That …
  • "Balanced reporting" is not how you do balancing.

    The idea you have to give to take or vice versa assumes all things were even to begin with. If you have a 1 second insta, we wouldn't say that is broken, let's make it 5 seconds but now i…
  • I am starting preparations for my father's funeral today. I may not be my normal self for the next couple weeks. I am not sure how long I will be on, when I even am.
  • Can the same aff be in a queue twice? If so you could ac insert truehearing as item 1, and when you have truehearing up or die or whatnot, remove item 1. So you only need manipulate first item. Agreed it isn't super intuitive, but I feel like adding…
  • I like the idea from Afollia. 

    Events are always fun, do not need to do anything inherently major, and can open new doors (like a new big bad again).

  • I get that people are unhappy, but this argument is becoming cyclical.

    Both sides end up with a TA. Rather than try to convince someone of something @Xenth…
  • (Quote) Which is why Caleb had a higher target prio, as he was the bonecrusher. 

    This was not only included in our planning, we noted it as a reason shielding was not a real counter to creeping. 1 person can counter 30.
  • (Quote) I agree and will humbly accept my Ascension as well after 2018's path bug.
  • I am noting people directly telling me they were approached ON DISCORD to get them to be willing to break the treaty at that exact time. Who pushed and prodded to get them to be on board? No idea. 

    It is not about you, and you are the onl…
  • Apologies were already given and admin have already acknowledged they believe they may have been able to handle it better.  There is not much farther this can go and people are feeding a cycle.

    So, I will say something new.

    I c…
  • (Quote) That is entirely up to the player. Did people show up to support Choros or oppose Ixion? Was the goal "Not Ixion" or "Raise Choros"? If you went with the goal of not Ixion, then yes, you "lost". If your goal was raise Choros, mission …
  • There would be no result that made everyone happy. 

    I applaud the administration for acknowledging the issue and seeking to make amends. 

    Choros acknowledged this is as a good outcome and approved of it. So depending on your vi…
  • tl;dr The slimmest of reasons for the break were given. Someone mentioned death, so I wanted to address the "sabotage" of the Death event. Read on if you are prepared.

    I will let these events hash out IG, but they look pretty OOC motivate…
  • SSC shotguns on unknown afflictions, even if those afflictions are in categories. 
    * Phantasms - Reality are mental affs.
    * Necromancy - Contagion are dust affs.

    I am sure more examples. While not a HUGE issue, it would reduce c…

  • I want to bring up an idea I have brought before: Pits are their own full elevation.

    Mechanically:
    - When you fall into a pit, you are in the pit. You cannot hit or be hit by anyone outside the pit.
    - You can still CLIMB UP or C…

    I like most of this. 

    Make it "have earned 5 medallions", so people who justifiably turned in duplicates aren't punished, BUT you have to have the seal of the TA you would try to take. If we feel it has to be org tied…
  • I think Celestines need changes. 

    Nihilists to a lesser extent.

    Institute not at all.

    Illuminati need some changes.

    Wiccans are not guardians, that is why they are listed as a different class/archetype. Th…
  • I would suggest against intrinsicknowledge lowering drains, purely because you'd be offering (and some other powers may be too) a demi power that directly effects specific offenses.
  • (Quote) When I say building I am including each affliction. A geo meld tic does more deathmark and particulate than I can cure before the meld hits again. Of note, the meld stuns, so there is a gap where you cannot cure and effectively lose o…
  • (Quote) This also hopes that they do not resist the first 10 gusts.
  • Some of the issues I brought up before this was implemented seem present:

    Bad points, most of which were brought up before:
    - Stacking is even easier now. You cannot cure the new level affs at the same time as other affs, so somethin…
  • I will be very scarce until September.

    My photography tour of Japan started, so I will be here until 9/3. I will still pop in and I have discord, but I will generally not be here for long spurts or anything
  • (Quote) Being a problem doesn't inherently mean it would be fixed. I believe a case could be made, right now, that a 10/10 and -10/-10 thing is fairly potent. Is it limited to 1 person or can it significantly change the metric of the whole gr…
  • Dazzle was changed when bards got transfix, because it was changed in effect partly.

    It used to be power to transfix a target.

    I appreciate you reading my novel. There is not meant to be a sequel.

    Problems: 1, 2, 5. Splendid.

    3: I had an old copy of info I think, there was a -10/-10 at max and -5/-10 in the level before it... it se…
  • OK, now that I have a few moments, let me dig a little deeper.

    The melder revamp aims to make pyromancer the standard, essentially, by introducing a level aff for everyone.

    Problem 1:
    As written, most of the cures n…
  • So, I did a quick look and found some concerns.

    - Eq/bal penalties should be lower or nonexistent. Cloning each thing to be similar strikes me as bad. For comparison: Burns reduced fire resist, effected the eq/bal, and set up an ice stack…
