#61447, "Games are for fun."


          

I get the the idea behind making things IC as possible and holding people to roleplay, but this does seem excessively punitive. Fortress slaughter neutrals for bling all the time, Outlanders hunt sentients for fun and sport, and Nexus will aid the "underdog" so they make a team of six to gank the crap out of the two squires who can't hide from them. There is room for suspension of disbelief if it makes the game more fun, which is why we do not have commands for evacuating our bowels regularly and rituals like creating circles of protection do not take hours of painstaking intricate labor.

It seems like you are going very hardline about this use of portals, particularly since the most popular ranking areas are in or off Organia. Is the goal to make Eil Sharei invul_rager? Is it to kill off the cabal?

As an immortal of Battle, I do hope you also advocate for the cabal and its members rather than just look for opportunities to police them.
