Re: Faction leaders need better rule-compliance tools

As I said in my response, if you find out about it, you should do something about it. I did not mean to imply that you should be hounding every character in your faction to ensure this is not so. It is similar to any rule break. If you are aware of it, you should report it or speak with them. If you...

Re: The Onus of Stream-Crossing Prevention in Factions

Yes, I say the player, as I mean OOC.

If you do not want to, or cannot, contact them yourself, you can ask a DM to do it for you.

Re: The Onus of Stream-Crossing Prevention in Factions

f you find out about it, and the person is not taking steps themselves to prevent stream crossing, I'd say, you should do what you can to get on the same page as the player to have them choose which character they want to pursue this story with. Generally, a faction leader does have responsibility o...

Re: Surface Evil Needs Another Home

The problem I see with that is when people say surface evil, rarely is it that they mean gangs, seediness, extortion, corruption, blackmail, assassination, murder, snake oil, curses, smugglers. They mean: "I want to use undead and fiends and have open monster buddies without anyone getting mad". I'd...

Re: What does the "setting" mean to you?

I think for me a lot of it comes down to choosing to RP these sorts of things. To think about what your character would logically do, not what you as a player want to do. It's definitely okay not to be a FR junky, but I think some things are just logical to do or not to do. Agreed on this. And with...

Re: Greater and Major Awards Options

I would much rather commemorative things happen by the characters who remembered the ones they lost, not someone going "I wish people remembered me" and spending a reward. It's a little like those characters who have written a book about their player's previous character, or made a statue of them. D...

Re: Speedy Messnger Dialogue - Too much dialogue?

There is also something to be said for the audio of them. I rely heavily on what speedies actually say aloud, whether halfling or goblin, as I am focused on several things at once. The wisp sound, not being actual words, is rather easy for me to miss.

Re: Removing Outcast and Pirate Tags

Good or non-monster has always had higher standards than evil or monster. Apathy is a great trait of evil. And it's more likely that someone be judged by their actions in the Underdark, than on surface. "The Tolerant Surface" has never existed in lore. Monsters have made their way up, and it has bee...

Re: meme posting

A traditional way of memeing in the moment is through sending a tell to your friend with the joke that you otherwise would have your character say. That way, you can still get the laugh, but you're not having your character say "ugh I can't wait for mommy abaazuur to step on me" ingame.

I'll say what I have said before.

Re: On immortals and forgetting

It has not been set aside, no. The memory rules exist for server health.

And there's no reason a character can't believe a fiend will end up haunting them or want to take revenge.
