General Discussion / Re: 'What makes me steam' suggestion guide

Nobody owns an NPC spawn point, and nobody owns any attackable NPC unless they have already engaged it in combat!

Taking an NPC from someone when they have already started any form of combat is considered kill-stealing and will be punishable by GMs through warnings, and then further actions if the player continues.

Competing for an NPC is not against the rules but doing so with the intention of causing grief to others can constitute a form of harassment and, if such intention is proven true, subject to sanction.

Not following any of these rules is liable to official actions stated in the Game Sanctions.

Call a GM next time something like this happens. I'd still like to know who was it you had this experience with and which guild they belong to so we can have a word. PM me your logs or look for us on -gmtalk.

I find it annoying when players think they can "teach" each other a "lesson". That never accomplishes anything and it's usually twice the work for us to clean up. This "I'll show him/her who's boss" will only translate to "I'll show him/her a good way to get banned". Sheesh...

In-Game Roleplay Events / OSP Event Rules

« on: June 06, 2009, 01:09:34 am »

Now that we have two OSP members and each has been granted administrative rights over Octarchal property, there are some rules we should make clear for everyone:

1. All OSP events must use the following subject: "[OSP] <Event Name>". Being that they are more than player run events yet not exactly GM events, the [OSP] tag shall identify them from now on (where as in the other cases we use both the [RP] and [Event] tags).

2. All OSP venues (Red Crystal Den, Explorer Outpost, and all future venues) are considered official places for Octarchal affairs, therefore, committing any crimes there constitutes an act of IC treason and as such, will be punished harshly. If a player does not wish to face the consequences of their IC actions, they are free to state so, but that will force all OSP members to ignore their actions, just like when GM guards RP with players. See Octarchal Crackdown discussion thread for more details on how this works. And, if we deem that your actions are becoming OOCly disruptive, we will deal with you accordingly.

3. All players must have free access to all OSP venues and events as long as they respect the rules set for them. Likewise, they must respect the authority of the sanctioned administrators both IC and OOC. You, as a player, can bring any character to those places. No fees, no quests, and no acquaintances are required. And if your asked to fulfill any of those criteria you must report it so we can set it right.

4. Good RP is expected. That means: know your settings, be respectful, do not godmod, and remember that your character's actions have consequences.

We'll be adding more points to this post as we see fit.

Congrats Bajazag! Not only are you doing a great work with your character model but you also made a Karyuu pop up in your thread... and that's quite something since we've been trying to lure her back in for a good year+ now...

Old school! I love it. We used to have this kind of plot all the time back in the day. Somehow, the frequency of these plots diminished but I'm glad to see players go at it again. Will be following how this evolves.

Congratulations, this proves once more that players have plenty of resources to make do and have great plots unfold. Keep it up.

How about making desktops instead of posters? It's more environmentally friendly and images don't need to be of such high resolution as for print. Just my two trias.
