I want to repeat this: I think we're too far along down the road for us to consider any of the problems I just outlined now or above. We should just do it and see how it all settles.
I will say that I do agree that opening membership of guilds to both tether cities does enforce the watered down 'superorg' that is a tether - as well as really watering down the takes of the cities and guilds themselves.
I have one simple solution to all of these concerns Enorian has: simply stop expecting gods to conform to the city's notion of right/wrong. We should stop insisting that gods play by the same rules as PCs - this is one of those things we could be do…
While I love the notion of being nuanced, I think we should consider untethering all gods. We can give them all a facelift in the process to make them more complex and have better hooks for some or all orgs.
Hot take, but I don't think Whirran's behavior is reprehensible. That's probably not surprising coming from someone else who plays an asshole character, though. It's completely In Character and people should stop assuming malice just because a chara…
My short thoughts on this, since I hate our new forum format: the way these timed buffs work right now really sucks. I hate being forced to choose between:
a. an 8 hour block of logged in time where I interact with nobody and nothing bes…

As support for this: I do not play a Good Guy either. Iesid is objectively a monster. He's fine with slaughtering people, he doesn't care about forgiveness, he near fetishizes violence, and one of his most abhorrent/maverick takes as a Spi…

I recall this as well, but the course of events is a little different to my memory. I think it came down to philosophical disagreements on what Sunder 'should' do and that the individual who made that fork decided to do so on their own bec…
I'm going to go in reverse order, because I don't agree that deleting tethers is the right solution but I do think that Whirran's initial post (and some posts in support of his) all have valid problems or points that could be answered differe…
You sent the following message to Ictinus: I am your friendly Spirit-tethered headache, here with a question on your forum post: regarding 'it's my friend', I am actually …

The difference is that Orrery isn't an event. It's about as 'relevant' for cause as a lesser or major, aka not. It's about as much 'story-driven' as a college football game is.

That would be relevant if the aegis wasn't in a contested zone in the narrative. You are comparing apples to oranges and insisting that, since they are both fruit (aegis), they both must clearly taste the same. That's just not the case.

Your scenario is also different. HELP AEGISPK exists because you were killing people for some of the things now expressly forbidden inside that file.
Today, people are vagueposting because I led groups the last two days killing …
Ruling #6 in the last announce seems to cover this just fine, tbh. If you want it to be one on one so badly, start an actual holywar. Otherwise, be prepared for interference on one or both sides. Players can take some of the burden of policing thems…

This post clarifies a lot for me and now I can see why you call it shitty behavior. It does feel bad to get team ganked Xv1 and it isn't fun, especially when you know the result would be different 1v1.

I think the repeated usage of violence is enough clarity on stance. Taking it as anything else is just begging for more of those heartaches we discussed a couple pages back now.
