  1. They only have a place if the rules surrounding handheld firearms, (what they can do, how many emotes per shot, and how accurate the shots) are very defined and clear. Otherwise you’re gonna get Indiana Jones with 12 preloaded pistols and a belief that gun=1 shot to a guy in plate. gunpowder should also be an extremely rare commodity worthy of lt sigs, hell just have it be boomsteel powder and regulate it like you would any other rare commodity.

  2. Izkuthii were and still are my least favorite CA/magic in the entirety of lotc. Out of the very few times I saw it actually being utilized, it was used exclusively to be annoying, which is of course always argued as just ‘being a trickster’. Secondly, due to the nature of izkuthii it is essentially impossible to deal with one that is being a blatant retard without it being claimed to be meta. I vividly remember participating in the public execution of a prominent izkuthii player at one point in an excessively violent manner, wherein the izkuthii was hung from a rooftop, and repeatedly shot with volleys of arrows, in which the izkuthii in question emoted being hit with the arrows idk how many times, and then when a /d40 was requested, the player simply shrugged and said something along the lines of ‘hes not dead yet’(because illusion and shapeshifting haha!!!). (Keep in mind this was after the player had been downed in pvp prior to being picked up and the execution rp had commenced as well) After this about 30 more minutes of pointless rp had to be undergone for this izkuthii player to finally decide to /d40. Now perhaps the player in question was powergaming, its quite possible though I wouldnt know and I dont intend to spend hours upon hours going over izkuthii lore in order to determine whether or not a very specific scenerio counts as powergaming. The issue with izkuthii essentially boils down to the vast majority of the community being unable to rp such a creature well, there are other issues I take with izkuthii but I dont intend to make this thesis any larger.

  3. There is absolutely no problem with playing an unset persona, I actually despise this if this has apparently become an issue now. If you're confused with how someone looks, then either emote looking over them, or ask, its not at all difficult. People meta the **** out of persona cards, even if its something small, that isn't inherently detrimental to the character its still absurdly annoying.

  4. Sure its kinda retarded that everyone can just instantaneously make a seer without backing it with any rp, but at the same time, who cares? It’s just like anything that gets spread about into excessive hell, it becomes a dumpster-fire. Anyone who played any form of seer well should have expected this, this happens to literally every niche when too many people get their hands on it, if something is meant to be rare and unique by the lore writer, they would have written it into the lore to not be self taught. If you rp seer, and rp it well, so be it, just don’t hang near the people who are being retards about it, there’s not much anyone can do here and it’s essentially Impossible to change anything without a MA wipe and a rewrite.

  5. I hate this outlook that disconnection has to have tenets. Even if you ignore the fact that rp is indeed rp, having disconnection work without tenets automatically adds in a level of depth and creates actual stakes, there are still huge problems with requiring tenets for disconnection. If you have been around for any period of time you have probably seen this firsthand, someone will get a magic and then they’ll go rogue, going around and teaching people who will either abuse it or rp it poorly. With tenet disconnection there is essentially no way to deal with this if someone refuses to pk on death, and soon it spirals out of control and what once may have been cool has now been stepped on by 1000 random people, think gen 3 necro, blood magic, and naztherak. If you get disconnected, shits tough but it’s not the end of your world, don’t go crying about it and trying to hide behind stupid ooc disconnection rules, use it to develop your character.
