@darc there is plenty of not broken fighting merits that make certain concepts valid (such as sword and board). Without the sword and shield fighting style a sword and bpard build is almost impossible to use.
Also are you just not using the merits or the whole of the books?
@secretfire what is it M6 that is the org from Bond movies?
@valkyrie there is no reason for staff to define limits beyond the obviois and illegal. Or just do not allow it at all, but when I hear Staffers wanting to police exact metrics of TS? Sounds more like someone is going to be snooping in on my fun times and I will just go play elsewhere.
No offense but can we not devolve an ad thread into a grab ass session? PMs are a thing. Please consider, thank you
Just to add some more thought to mu previous pst: if you want to be a bit snarky for an attempt at humor, label it. But don't just be a cheeky ape, provide something. Onstructive to the conversation! I always try and practice this in threads outsise the hogpit. I see something I wanna be snarky about, I try my best to show that my snark is just trying to be a smartass doek not something serious and then I add something to the conversation
@thenomain examples of people that don't care or don't seem to realize the point. Imo this is why we have seen the toxic leak out of hogpit, not because people dont understand what hogpit is for but because they either dont care or are oblivious to how rude they really are. Thats why I am advocating to keeping the system as is, but having actual punishment for people that are not cluing in and taking thier bs where it belongs and just constantly shitposting
@Arkandel I see you points of view but I don't agree with them. I like that you came to your users rather than just soing internal but having a united front as authority is not just a MU thing, its a professionalism thing. Individualism is good and to be expected from large admin/mod teams but such a small team should be presenting a united front from the getgo and speak as a group about official things not as individuals. But these are just my opinions on professionalism in community management!
@haven what is that even supposed to mean?
@runescryer yeah, nwod and owod are the qualifiers. Owod is masquerade and apocolypse and ascension, nwod is requiem, forsaken and awakening
@faraday your first couple paragraphs here I mostly agree with. Idk why more people cannot just go "If I want to be a dick I can go to hogpit for that". Thats what I do. Non hogpit sure I can be a luttle hostile but I try to keep it constructive or at least shallow enough it isnt genuine shitslinging, yet I see people constantly not following this philosophy and I think part of it is the lack of repercussion. I think we should keep hogpit around for ppl that like to be tozic lil shitheads, and I think shit that turns toxic should go there, but I also think those that cant keep their toxicity to hogpit need to get punishments.

OK but the way it came across was Ark saying basically "This is what we are considering doing..." which has a very strong implication that you moderators had already discussed this amongst yourselves and come up with a joint solution. So to hear you and Auspice then saying completely different things is honestly a bit baffling.
I understand.
So, I'll say it for myself: I'm speaking from my mind right now. If I'm speaking as part of the group, I'll make that clearer.
Lots of thoughts here. I think we're going to meet and confer soon enough.
TBH you guys are a team of three people. That means communication lines are very short and the game of telephone is unlikely to have dramatic results. You all three seem like people that understand professionalism. Being a mod working in this capacity even if a passion project should be professionally done. Thus to me, it looks very bad that three people are individuals and not a TEAM. With 3 people there should be no varying facets shown from the mods, you 3 should be united especially in situations like this or SIMPLY do not comment because as people are pointing out, it is confusing the fuck out of us and making us even more worried.
ETA: even if you guys dont have your poop in a group, you need to show us you do. This multifaceted approach doesnt instill confidence in your userbase it erodes it.
@arkandel hinestly i much prefer hogpit shove. It removes fear of censorship by allowing the content to still be visible but only in a space that is "appropriate". I definately think though that looking at people that are CONSISTENTLY causing discussions to be shoveled into hogpit should be looked at. It is also a community bad that as soon as someone makes an ass of themselves in non hogpit we follow them right up with our own bullshit which tends to cause entire pages of hogpit shoveling. Tbh, a lot of people in this community are far to easily #triggered for their own good.
Tl;dr keep hogpit moving over deleting entirely, look into temp banning ppl that derail convos to hogpit lvls extremely often
Also I judt wanted to mention this is probably the most active and earnest mod team I have seen in a forum. Sometimes maybe a bit too involved (i understand it is the hogpit but you are still mods and should try to maintain a modicrum of professionalism, being snarky dicks to your users even in hogpit tastes sour in the mouth). Especially these last couple months I have felt so much interaction and personalization from ya'll and its 
ty!
@stabby Also depending on the game they might have a webclient.
@tragedyjones @DownWithOPP It always seemed like Europe and the UK were heavily gutted during 2070's seeing as how the major powers were US/China and we saw very little if any involvement by the UK.
@tinuviel Maybe on a MU, when I've run tabletops of WoD I mostly just used book info for theme flavor and less about the actual plot.
@rucket Still in the works. it looks like Headstaff have all but disappeared on FC bc they are busy working on the new game where ever that is. A few staffers are still on FC doing day to day jobs but all in all it seems like everything is fairly just in a flux of waiting for the new game to surface. Funny part is closer we get to possible release the less information we're getting from anyone.
ETA: the last major information we recieved was from Sonder putting some pictures on the discord of some nonsensical notes that could potentially be "plot" ideas, tho mostly just looked like someone reading thru the books and grabbing buzz words and listing them out.

High quality apps would be considered with Tier caveats (akin to TR/FC) for players.
Lost me right here.
As in?
