Re: Delete Insight
I strongly dislike this idea- framing all of this in the context of a defense that protects you is setting up the entire Think/Insight/etc. avenue of RP as an inherently dangerous mechanic that you should protect yourself against, and that isn't what this is.
You don't need a new command, you don't need a config. Make it an enchantment that must be worn. That way, if you -want- your thoughts to be heard by anyone OTHER than Celani, you simply need to remove that item.
Call it Mantra that while worn, all thoughts are hidden from view except by the most powerful of Divine.
If you don't want your character's thoughts heard, don't engage with the Think syntax. You could literally code an alias that takes two seconds to redirect 'Think ' into THINKBUTSECRET

"It would be hard to do research while stored in a vault, would it not?" the voice purrs, the sound
curling its way between your ears. "Sure, she says temporarily, but so long as she deems you a
threat she will keep you here. Endlessly. She's done far worse."

Re: Delete Insight
I don't know if anyone mentioned this - I have to skim while at work, apologies - but I think a big factor is people being "irresponsible" with their new Insight toy. A long time ago, it was in vogue for Shadowsnakes/Syssin to use illusions as RP supplements. Illusioning "you hear him cough under his breath" instead of a fake affliction or what have you.
If you did it in front of a vampire, they'd respond "nice illusion" every. Single. Time. I'm sure they did it to mark themselves out as a stupendous badass, but all it did was teach us who not to pull out all the RP stops with.
I'm sorry you guys are being given a hard time! I'm in the camp that believes maybe you should get a simple config, for free, that keeps your thoughts to yourself. But a lot of us very much enjoy the enriching addition they bring and we'd be sad to see you go!

Re: Cursed Trickery Afoot
The event has been great so far. I especially like the build up and all the different parts. It gives what's happening direction that the players can work with, but it's still not 100% clear that all the events are tied together (at least not yet), so there could be more than one thing going on.
It's too bad the evil voices in Legyn's head never offer him anything he wants. It's always murder and power, and not a diamond-studded solid gold abacus.

Re: Teotl
bumping this thread with the new character synopsis:
Wee raja wanders about the plane of Chaos asking "are you my mommy?"
Two opposing Goddesses and the Primus of the Consanguine show up.
The all say 'yes' in unison.
Commence plot.

Re: Quotes & Misquotes: Falling Off of Bridges
A craggy boulder in the valley.
The rain pours down beneath the darkness of night, the clouds blotting out the heaven and stars. A
faun of the ancient wood lingers in the area, his presence vaguely eerie. The wooden body of a
lifeless Satyr shaman is here, alive no more. A piece of folded paper has been gruesomely inserted
into a grievous gash in the middle of the dead Satyr's forehead. Imparter Caitria Cardinalis, the
Wildcat is here, shrouded. She wields an iron-tipped whip in her left hand and a tower shield in her
right. Huntress Valorie Aresti is here. She is riding on a flowery pink cherry dendaric entbeast.
She wields a vicious dark brown dhurive in her hands.
You see exits leading north, east, south, southwest, and northwest.
You have reached your destination.
You can see the following 5 objects:
"faun115193" a faun of the ancient wood.
"satyr92873" the corpse of a barbaric Satyr shaman.
"paper63255" a folded slip of paper.
"entbeast157837" a flowery pink cherry dendaric entbeast.
"eland156076" a verdant sylvan eland.
The corpse of a barbaric Satyr shaman rises up to his feet, looking refreshed.

Caitria points at the blood-soaked paper.

No it most certainly does not.

Re: Mildly Irritating: Aetolia's Pet Peeves
You get to PK anyone with PK aura.
It's not griefing to PK anyone with a PK aura.
You don't 'get PK' on a person just because they PK someone you like.
You do get to shakefist and saber rattle icly at people no matter what, even about instanced PvP.
You get to issue if people take that fight outside of the instanced PvP without properlyfishing for pk tokens roleplaying or using pk systems.
You get to snub or issue if the shakefisting upsets you or goes too far.
No one should feel OOCly bad about attacking an open pk target, but you are also responsible for your own feelings there.
All that said, you're not gonna forum war your way to people not seeing it as a more lawful neutral/lawful evil move. Characters are genuinely defensive of Didi, but if the guilt trip is this effective then Vharen (who views her as an untouchable snack
) might get in on it, no veil at all.
