[Purulent Carcass]

Let's just say I am horrified by hand holding. Fines for thievery sound like a very firm "Time OUT! Timmy!" While I pointed out the difficulties, that does not mean I do not agree that the punishments spelled out should be handed out.

A strike system as in three strikes and you are out is also hard to maintain, we can barely get people to post things in game as it is.

I also REALLY disagree with not making people slaves because they disagree with slavery in real life. IE a personal belief system. What we need to be doing is making being a slave more interesting and even fun. The biggest problem I see with slavery is namely Player A does not want to be a slave to Player B. Since they are a slave, they really have no choice in it. Were the slaves masters NPCs, this tune might change. With an option to be sold to a player. The way we handle it now is we simply do not enslave other PCs unless the PC actually wants to be one. It saves us headaches from whining that results. I'm not saying that if you were visiting Sharner and suddenly Ryech comes along and beats your ass and throws you in a slave pen, wouldnt be a bummer to a player oocly who had goals and plans. But the fact is, if NPCs come along and enslave you, there are a lot less complaints on the part of the one being enslaved.


I also COMPLETELY disagree that death should not be the death of the PC as it stands. Now if a death sentance opened up a whole new world of rp and story, there is something to be said for that.

Lastly, we do NOT have a problem with getting players to play legionnares. Quite the opposite in fact. Many of our players that are not really into rp and just run around H&Sing tend to gravitate to the legion as a faction in fact. If there is a largest faction in game it is the Priador legion.

One of the things that drew me to Thay was that this is a harsh world, that there are evil people all over and the challenges seem insurmountable. Slavery.. perma death... those words brought me here. Lets not sugarcoat the world. Lets not make it a nicer place ICly. Making Thay a good place to play OOCly is great, but please PLEASE do not ask that we hold a players hand through every single step they make.
