corcitura salt lore fix

[tantuni445 289]

OLD

T2] Salination

 

◈     An inheritance from their treacherous Archon forefather, shared with the siliti of Hazmstadt as Malghourn's safeguard after the Night of the Ten Treacheries, seawater (or artificial saltwater of [3%] concentration or higher) and pure salt of a handful or greater when in contact with open corcituri wounds will feel as hot coals to them; not only amplifying their pain but also causing blood to bubble agonisingly as the salt is dissolved into it.

 

◈     Though never completely lethal, if salt reaches the bloodstream a corcitură becomes encumbered by pain for [2] emotes to follow, unable to sprint or maintain a magical connection.

 

◈     Due to their dark rebirth and realignment to Iblees' Nexus, away from Malghourn's Red Nexus (and the Archonic Blood Shards), the marrows of moroi are warped by Ruin against the Stone Serpent's meddling and as a result moroi do not inherit this trait.

 

◇     Salt and saltwater must be represented by named RP items with the exception of environmental salination, for instance whilst swimming in an ocean or sea. If a character does not possess a mechanical item explicitly described as salt or saltwater prior to the roleplay, it cannot be deployed against a corcitură in this manner. 

◇     In the spirit of good faith, “test kits” intended to minimize inventory slots whilst encompassing multiple items and materials would also be insufficient. 

◇     Sand, salt of less than a full handful as well as seawater less than a bucket will not suffice in triggering this weakness. In this sense salted or saltwater treated items would also be insufficient.

◇     Since the effects of vampire curse reveal their predatory nature especially when thirsty, corcitura only succumbs to the revealing effects of Salination when in a Thirsting state.
◇ under their vampiric guise, Corcitura would be affected by salt and ıts all negative effects as they would if they were thirsting.

 

REASON: 

Most people realize how ridiculous random salt tests are, but on the other hand, for the anti-vampire side, it's the only solution I could find without completely eliminating the testing method.

If the Corcitura are thirsty, they can be tested. To avoid this, they would have to be hunt and feed not only to escape the disadvantage of their curse, but also to avoid being exposed. etc. You see the point


CHANGE LOG
- It was added that, while in their vampiric guise, the corcitura were still fully exposed to all the disadvantages of salt, regardless of they Thrirsty or not. (thank u TheDrHedgehog)

PLEASE. To put it in perspective, as I talked about in a different Discord, only counting ten Aether players, they are granted 14 edit tokens a week. You can get a full stack of Sugar from CT completely free, as you require no tools. With 14 tokens, you can edit 64 items in a stack, which grants you about 896 salt items per week. Times this by ten for a whopping production of 8960 salt items, which means to run out over the course of the year, you would need to test 24.5 people a day. This is just with ten Aether players, this doesn't consider the fact of other VIP members banding together or voting milestones, granted a bit extreme but uncapped production for an item that can instantly expose a Corc despite how carefully they play to be ruined because they get caught in some gate house is cooked.

Wouldn't literally every vampire who would be tested, with the proper rp suspicions and reasoning for testing them (a previous example of why I tested someone was because they matched the description of a vampire, like matched it exactly, of a vampire who attacked someone) just say they're not in a thirsting state and simply pass? Who is there to determine if they are in a thirsting state or not, couldn't they simply just say that they are not to avoid any consequences?

They could say this even now. both moroi and corcitura players themselves track their own  persona's feeding history, there's normally no external force tracking them. (of course an admin always ask that player for screenshoots but did they ever ask before?) Furthermore, the fact that you are running tests with a proper rp doesn't change the fact that the salt test itself is entirely a random gate test for most people.

Regarding the situation you mentioned, you might be right, but isn't this also true for most creatures with disguise abilities? Should we really insist on something as absurd as a mere test just because of this? (Also, a Corcitura who has attacked someone and been exposed can normally disguise using simple alchemy methods, unlike a Moroi)

Vampire players (both Moroi and Corc alike) have to keep track of their feedings for this exact reason. Some people take screenshots and log them in a google doc; others just note when they fed in their vampire discords. this is encouraged so that ST don't shoot you for not being thirsting or withered while having not fed in weeks.

Also something I think needs some significant improvement on. I dislike how easily it is to simply change your entire appearance because you've been caught, not just different hair colour, completely change the structure of your face and what not just to avoid consequences

[Morigung-oog 5697]

Darkspawn testing is cringe and a gateway to bad faith encounters. It shouldn't exist.

[femurlord 3751]

A majority of Corcitura do not feed regularly, as well to what @ReveredOwlhad said, at that point, kill them

couldn't you just powergame the test? couldn't you just hide your app and emote the test failing?

it's not as if this amendment will make vampires all begin lying about their thirsting status
