@mouse If you are looking for Argos from TR, that is me.

@bored I play Cristofano, the HoH of House Sabastino. I agree with you. And I think @Lotherio seems to have agreed, too. The game needs better documentation. You are right to call it out, and I think @Lotherio has also acknowledged that they need to do better in that regard.

Like Auspice, I certainly threw myself out there with requests. And many of them were seriously, like...what does that rumor even mean? If I devote a resource to this, what is that /actually/ accomplishing? Etc. I will say that the staff has been amazing about getting back to me about these things. I don't think @Auspice is suggesting that the playerbase is to blame, and neither am I. But I also think a lot of us have PTSD about staff, and prefer to look to a wiki rather than +request, myself included. Like Auspice, I will suggest that, until documentation is as robust as it should be, you should absolutely pester staff. Giovanni Acuto and Galileo have always been super happy to answer questions and, more importantly to me, work out things that will be good for rp.

To be completely honest, I had no idea Sabastino now had enough house rep to buy any resources back. I have mostly approached this game with a go-big-or-go-home attitude. I dropped all my resources by the 11th of the month figuring that if I lacked resources for other things down the line, then that would only lead to good rp for the PCs in my house. Not suggesting that is how everyone should go about it, but if you see a lot of things about yay Sabastino early in the month and then later its all about the other houses, you will know why, at least from an ooc perspective.

TL/DR: Yes, the game needs fully defined and outlined systems. Yes, if you aren't sure how to proceed you should +request for a convo with staff.

@auspice Hi, sorry for the late replies. I just tried logging out and back in, but it made no difference, for what that is worth.

Hi, admins!

Not sure if this is the right forum section, but the search function seems to be broken. It yields the following output when used:

Hi! I've been following this game and this thread with interest, and I just wanted to throw in my two cents in terms of game balance with channelers and non-channelers.

I would propose that you consider certain types of PCs to be 'supers', and that everyone can only have one of those. An Aes Sedai would certainly be one example, but there might be others as well, including rulers. For those who do not want to play something that is an established super like the examples above, perhaps there could be a final category which is "ta'veren". You would have to decide what this means, mechanically, but perhaps they get points to spend in a given scene to get out of a scrape, or make something happen that wouldn't ordinarily take place, etc.

That way it might make sense that if you want to play the baker's kid that ends up helping to save the world, there is a valid, thematic reason for it to happen, and a reason for Aes Sedai (particularly of the Blue Ajah) to be interested in you and to pull you into rp.

Yesssss. Amber.

Updated!

Just wanted to give a shout out to Fear and Loathing. I've been playing there for about two months and am having a blast.

The vampire sphere is, in particular, very fun and active with a great player base and terrific staff support. There is an ongoing PrP that is pulling people in across spheres and has already generated over 50 ST'd scenes, with numerous other related social scenes.

Politics is also heating up, with lots of power up for grabs for those Kindred who can managed to wield and hold it.

If you are interested and looking for a specific way in, I am particularly interested in recruiting for the Invictus. We could use more members in the Covenant to help us seize control of the Vegas Strip. Even more specifically, both I and another Invictus player are interested in siring progeny, so if you are interested in an IC becoming and would like to play Gangrel or Mekhet, let us know. We'd be happy to help you out with that!

Any questions? Come on in and check out the activity. And feel free to shoot me a page while you are there. I play as Tucker.
