Ok, so I lure a guy to my frost witch tower and attack him so I can eat him. I very clearly started the altercation, yet it's my region, so I am the defender?

That's a far more ambiguous situation, and as such PvP default would remain in effect.

n e ways

 

Scenario: A darkstalker who has webbed feet IRL comes into the Druid Grove, starts talking ****, they had been in the grove threatening to kill people before. The Druids ask them to leave. They don't leave. So the Druids attack to try to get the dude to leave.

 

Who is defender, who is attacked? Is it counted as a 'guard force' so, even though the Druids attacked first, they get to decide the default? Or is the darkstalker who has webbed feet IRL the defender, cause he was attacked?

 

Or is it PVP cause it's not entirely clear?

Being the controllers and defenders of the grove, the druids would be the ones to decide.

Personally, I think that many of the issues people are bringing up are things with very simple solutions.

Don't want to spend 4 hours (a terribly exaggerated number to begin with) fighting? Don't go out and pick a fight. This isn't going to make anyone's lives harder unless they're doing it to themselves. If you're a guard of a location, you have complete authority to decide combat type within it, as well.

If you're concerned about Powergaming - Take screens and talk to a GM. A lot of people are holding on to exaggerations about the state of things three years ago when RP was still default. The team is entirely different these days, and people should be viewing this issue with a more fresh opinion. Part of the purpose of this trial is actually to test the ability of the team to properly respond to such issues.

At the end of the day, the best thing for everyone is to go into this with an open mind. If it works, then most people will be happy. If it doesn't, well, that's the point of having a trial.

So the city's decision over-rides the criminal's decision?

 

So, for example, let's say someone tries to murder someone (with just cause) inside a city. The guards can decide the type of combat to use, even if the 'defending victim' chooses the opposite of what the guards pick?

 

Just curious.

It still requires full consent of everyone involved to change the combat type of an ongoing fight. If you are attacking somebody who wants to RP fight, and then guards appear halfway through and ask for pvp, it remains RP unless everyone involved wants pvp.

The same applies to the opposite. If PvP was already decided, newcomers can't force RP.

The Celein Institute of Magic and Technology

Tomorrow lies across the Void

~

I -What is the Institute?

The Celein Institute of Magic and Technology was founded in 1548 by Ac’Aelu Tinuvial and is devoted to the advancement of the people of Vailor through the use of science and engineering, both voidal and mundane.

The Institute is constantly seeking those who wish to learn and create through these powers. A home to magic and scholarship, anyone is permitted entrance to the Institute provided they possess the qualities sought for.

The Institute Hall, located in Sanctuary, offers a library of records and a lecture hall free to the public. Within this location, those interested may find information on our work, as well as attend regularly hosted lectures where guest speakers will discuss varied and practical topics.

Also located in this hall, but restricted to members of the Institute, are a number of labs for use in various projects. Also granted to members are living quarters for those without home in Sanctuary, as well as many other facilities to support their work.

II - Hierarchy and Division

The Institute is a largely equal society, and most members do not possess any powers over the others. However, a chain of command does exist to be referred to in the event of its need in settling a dispute.

From the greatest power to the least, the hierarchy of the Institute is as follows.

I - The Headmaster

II - Research Head/Automancy Head

III - Project Leads

IV - Researchers/Descendent Laborers

V - Inductee Researchers

Headmaster - Ac’Aelu Tinuvial (Combustionary)

The Headmaster serves as the leader of the Institute, and has complete authority over any matters it involves. In the event of the death or departure of a Headmaster, the Research Head takes his or her place.

Division Heads

The head of guidance for the two divisions of the Institute, these individuals are tasked with ensuring the day-to-day operations of each group.

Project Leads

Project leads are the individuals in charge of a specific research project. All work done on a project is cleared and directed by them.

Researchers

Researchers and Descendant Laborers make up the majority of the Institute. These are the individuals that perform the tasks and research needed to accomplish the Institute’s goals.

Inductee Researchers

New researchers in the Institute, these individuals have yet to be fully trained.

Past the hierarchy, the Institute is divided into two main groups. Automaton Labor and Research and Retrieval.

III - Automaton Labor

Head - Haadi Mubdee (_Elad_)

Primarily consisting of Golems, Automaton Labor provides defense and resources to the Institute. This division is also open to men and women who wish to contribute to the Institute through hard work rather than intellectual study.

With a constant production of golems, individuals to assist in their maintenance and supervision are in high demand.

It is worth noting that this division does not cover the research and advancement of golems, merely the management and creation of them.

IV - Research and Retrieval

Head - Avenel (Bokratz)

Research and Retrieval comprises the vast majority of the Institutes manpower. This division recruits far more than the alternative, and its members perform research on their chosen projects, and work to retrieve ancient technology and magical artifacts when the chance arises.

New members to the branch will be given formal training on research protocol, and will be assigned a project until that training is complete.

Once a member has completed their training, they are free to pursue whichever project interests them. Researchers are also permitted to propose projects to be given lab space for research.

The use of Magic is an integral part of research within the Institute, and as such, all full researchers will be granted assistance in their self-driven studies of it. Teachers within the Institute are also free to take on students at their own leisure.

V - Regulations

To ensure the ethical and efficient progress of research and work within the Institute, the following regulations are in place to all members. The punishment for any violations will be based on severity and history.

I - No Member of the Institute may sabotage another’s work in any capacity.

II - No Member of the Institute may break any laws of Celein.

III -  No Institute Research may be made public without declassification by the Research Head or Headmaster.

IV - Project Labs are to be used for their intended purpose only, unless express permission to do otherwise is given by the Project Head (or any of higher authority).

V - No experimentation may be done on Descendant subjects without that subjects consent, given with full information of any risks and effects and without any coercion or duress.

VI - Any experimentation on animals is to be done with minimal suffering of the animal subject. This testing is to be done as humanely as possible, and as little as scientifically feasible.

VII - Any Member displaying an attitude or outward appearance that harms the Institute's progress or public image will be forced to change or leave.

VI - Recruitment

Any individual seeking membership within the Institute are encouraged to fill the following form.

Yet another response is added.

"I'm disinclined to believe that you've actually been to Sanctuary. Perhaps you're pulling this out of your ass, or maybe you mistook Haelun'or for it, but black hair would neither merit nor garner such attention within the city.

I say this only because the division of our peoples only harms everyone. We should all work to come together and make each other stronger, not continue to split and weaken ourselves."

A final response is penned by Aelu, this time unsigned.

"How degenerate do you have to be for everyone in Sanctuary of all places to hate you?"

"Sanctuary is a safe location for elves of all sort, and has no requirements of purity such as the 'aheral do." Ac'Aelu would pen on one such notice.

How long have you played on LotC?: Since October 2011

How many hours per day/week are you available?:  Quite a lot. I'm usually around in some capacity.

Have you read and do you thoroughly understand Magic Lore?:  Yes.

What Magic Lore do you hold the most experience with?: Arcane for the most part, with experience in deity and golemancy.

Write about a magic-related topic that you find interesting (e.g. How mental barriers work):

Since beginning Golemancy rp a few months ago, I've become very interested in the complexity and depth of it. I really enjoy the experimentation aspect of it, and the many different things you can do with it. No other magic RP has, in my experience, nearly as much depth as Golemancy does with its secrets that are only found out by roleplay experimentation.
