I'm not saying it would necessarily have been upheld in this case, but if you feel like someone is using spam to gain an unfair advantage, an issue would be appropriate.

This is a great example of a "Would that I could" issue for us. Merc skills are @Keroc's unholy bugaboo. The best answer (and it's a terrible one) is that Ve…

The goal is to remove the necessity for a bunch of vials, so that's correct. Allowing that hindrance would grant an inherent advantage to carrying 50 health vials, when the ideal is one or two.
Fluid caches will automatically refill when the fluid is depleted from the vial/bandage with no player action necessary. Like vial belts, the feature does not cost credits to use, but there will be credit upgrades to increase capacity.

It's still like that with your main guild skills.
For example, given a Sciomancer named Cletus who forgets the Sciomancer class: - 100% return if he's a novice - 90% if he's under GR3 and isn't masterful in the clas…
None of that has changed. This is solely about (a) what tools we provide gods to monitor communication passively and (b) the manner in which you criticize gods on the forums, if you choose to do so.
Definitely not, no. These changes are more focused on reducing the culture of cynicism and frustration inherent to the volunteer experience. Our players, in general, are really great people. But at some point, the administrative tools we use to moni…

It means gods can't idly witness your tells, messages, and in-room communication, regardless of whether you mention their watchlist keywords. Divine are absolutely encouraged to possess NPCs and interact. That part hasn't changed.

You could make an argument that a 50% lesson loss is too steep. I certainly didn't love it as a player. What you've suggested is just far too drastic a change on something that is our bread and butter.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record (or just kind of a prick): liaison report, please! We do those so that everyone can weigh in in an organized fashion.
Unless that post was your way of sparking player discussion. In w…

A lot of our discussions about artifacts boil down to an intersection (sometimes a conflict) between the health of the game and the health of the business. What you've suggested is undeniably bad for the health of the business, as class-ho…
Perfectly acceptable criticism: "I feel like Arion totally blows me off when I try to RP. Can anybody catch me up on how to get involved with his order?"

Assuming you're referring to our ears: It has always been my policy to only make combat-relevant changes during liaison rounds or revamps. Razmael tends to work the same way. Keroc presents an exception to that rule, but he does so at his …
Had a chance to stand on stage with Sen. Bernie Sanders and briefly meet him at his rally at my university. 4k people for the third rally of the day in a state that hasn't swung blue since the segregationists stopped running as Democrats. Regardless…
We made a conscious decision to release fishing without bait and lures, if only because those components tend to be kind of superfluous in other IRE fishing systems. I wanted as little tedium and buy-in as possible. However, you may notice lures mak…

We have a plan firming up that we like quite a bit. It's a giant departure from the original one I was championing a couple months ago, but it's superior in every way. Consider this thread your opportunity for feedback.
@Veovis, I have to say that I agree with the points you've made here. To clarify one thing, though: administratively, on an OOC level, we were rooting for the Bouchar…
