Region Editing/Demolition Rule Changes

Seems overall okay, but I have a couple of questions.

 

If you already have perms in a certain area, will you be allowed to break down blocks without modreq'ing? (Sorry if this was already written.)

 

 

The thing where GMs will make a /s emote when a door/window/anything else that blocks your way is taken down. Will it be matching the emote, or just a general thing like *A window breaks at [House x]*? I feel like there should be something descriptive in this redline, because I've had a few times where I did something like cutting through a door and, after being unlocked, a mere sign was placed down saying the door's lock was taken down.

 

EDIT: Also, seeing as you've lowered the number you need to break down a door to 12, is the amount on Iron doors changed accordingly? And, will there still be the 3 roll per limit?

No, just windows are 12. Wooden doors are still 17 and iron doors are still 19 to be forcibly kicked down. As for the emote it will be like. [!]The sound of glass shattering sounds out from (wherever). or something similar.

 

You also do have to modreq, even if you do have perms (low tier just needs a GM to watch whilst you edit) to make sure you're not blindly griefing for a meme.

Right, but I meant something like emoting it according to the situation. As if, my persona has a staff that creates heat so intense it could easily melt through glass, or burn a wooden door. Will the emote remain glass shattering?

No, that is different, of course. If you are doing something that will result in noise, it will not.

Wait you need a roll higher then 12 to break a window?

 

What if a telekinetic mage shoots a 3 foot boulder at it and rolls a 1. Does it just 'bounce off'? Must be very strong glass...

Anyway I like this.

it doesn't even make sense that you need any region owner permission for anything

 

i think the idea of the arson rule was to stop people from randomly setting fire to houses, not to restrict rp to this extent

 

if someone wants to do some crazy terrorist **** in their house or in a city why is the region owner allowed to say "lol no that will destroy my precious custom built trees that I built with creative mode"

 

If I want to ballistae the walls of Johannesburg or use some magic to break a hole in a wall I should not have to ask the region owner because they will act for their own benefit. 

 

 

I guess LoTC is a creative build server now???????1

I am slightly disappointed that this still requires "region owner consent" as though that has any bearing on roleplay whatsoever.

Very good.

I've always thought that region owners having so much power has always gotten in the way of dynamic roleplay, but unfortunately it is something that needs regulations somehow. If you allow anyone to do anything without consent then you'll just end up with factions getting graveyard shift squads to go into their enemies cities and detonating arcane bombs in palaces and then writing some shitty rp post about their espionage victory.

If players didn't act ICly due to OOC relations and feelings for LE FUNNAY MAYME XDD then yes, I'd also like this. However, people would abuse this just to spite people they dislike.

I don't think you should be allowed to do #1 if you don't have perms otherwise there is nothing stopping someone from summoning a GM to smash into every windowed home instead of having to use lockpicks.

The usual rules for thievery still apply - hence why I said they are now treated as a door. 3 tries per entrance, with 3 successful breaks maximum per raid.
