A Petition Against Passports

[Phelrin 60]

((These passports are not the only problem though, but the gates.

There is one way into Hanseti, that doesn't take hours of climbing and searching. That one entrance is always closed, no one is ever about to open it.))

((Even with hours of searching, I've only found the main enterance, and a back way only passable by seige weapons))

((We are currently at war with a nation that has twice tried to wipe us out completely. I am trying to afford the citizens a degree of protection.

So your argument has shifted from the passports being the problem to "the maw".

Steps I have currently taken:

1. Reduced the price of extending temp passports to 250.

2. Reduced the price of replacement passports to 100.

The gate is a tricky one. I am in the end charged with the protection of those within the realm and must keep those under me safe at all costs. With the new soul stone system I don't think there should be a problem with the gate staying closed. If you are a citizen you should have one of your souls set to your home.

With our position so far south a walk to the front gate is within 100 seconds of the soul stone getting a full recharge. If the gate was closed the most you would have to wait is less then 2 mins to soul stone to your home.

I believe I have addressed and compromised a fair bit but I will take further constructive criticisms if they are reasonable. I know cataris you would prefer to have the system scratched so your thieves guild buddies can have free range of the realm but I guess your going to just have to work that much harder to fool us :) ))

(Vidar to help with the issue of it takes time to make a passport I would suggest using spoutcraft, It has a inbuilt copy and paste system you could easily have the words for the passports written in a google doc, change the things you need name date stof like that, but the main rp writing would be easily just copy pasted into the book, makes your life's much easier!

((You're soul stone argument is invalid. Most people have not donated and so they don't have 2 soul stones. If you want to go anywhere else, or like myself, are part of a guild that travels A LOT, setting your stone to Hanseti makes no sense what so ever. I understand the gate remains closed for our safety but it's rather annoying to get to the gate, shout and no one hears you, and check the /who and see no guards on. Maybe put in a citizen only entrance, with a code found inside your passport, or that rotates per Elven week if you're worried about security.))
