Whats this about British or American?........ -,-Noradur wrote:stop spamming.
Julius is not that wrong. I looked up the most skilled fighters active this week.
And the most skilled are american or british.
then comes a long list of NPCs between and after that there are highly trained german characters.
I don't know who exactly you think of being a temple member.. think again, you may be wrongGreisling wrote:I mostly agree with Korm. Nice explanation.
Furthermore I want to comment on something:
I have the impression that some of the POs of Temple members (or POs closely related to the Temple) still do not try to think about their actions; I have the impressoon that some of them hardly reflect what the consequences of their actions are.
Many of their actions - no matter if done under the flag of the Temple or as individuals - seems to be little planned but being done out of a clear blue sky.
Comments like: "I have not read the all the postings here but do comment anyway" indicate a different attitude to this affair and underline my impression.
Finally:
Right, the current strength of the Temple as well as the political situation in game are a prodcut of Roleplay.
Still, since those players seem not to be able to use their powers in an adequate way (overall inactivity; blue-sky-acting; abusing the character strengths), interventions of the GMs seem nothing but reasonable.
That would be unfair in the sense that many craftsmen are pretty good fighters as well, and it would basically take away any advantage of being a dedicated fighter (at least in my opinion) instead of being your average miner-blacksmith-shoemaker-weekend warrior. Or then your proposal is implemented, but dedicated warriors should be given a kick-ass combat bonus against the multitalenters (Meaning that one dedicated warrior equals two multitalenters. If you take away the advantages of focusing on fighting skills, that *must* be compensated for somehow). Warriors already get shafted alot, without being killed by noob craftsmen.Korm Kormsen wrote:we should recognize, that not everybody is equal. but keeping in mind, that everybody should have equal rights.
as i wrote somewhere above, i think, that part of the problem are different stiles of play.
we should concentrate on thoughts, to give every style of play maximum freedom of expression with minimum adverse side effects to play of others.
maybe the idea, to make skillgain difficult, to discourage powergaming should be thought over.
it takes many, many hours to make a more or less decent fighter. (or mage, i suppose)
so there is a very small minority of players, who invest a lot of time, ending up with "demigods", that can vence three or more enemies singlehanded.
if the strongest fighters could be venced by two average fighters, they would automatically should get a little more cautious in their behaviour.
No, that is actually not the way I show respect.Thats the diffrence between YOU and me!
You try to upset some one in cause you dont speak thems language.
I do not care for your language, your skincolor your religion, sex or sexpractics as long that you know to respekt the others.
The text you written let me gues you denunciate the german speaker in that way as you told by your selve.
Is it your way to show respekt?
Do you think whe find a solution TOGETHER to have fun in FUTURE if whe try to upsed an other?
Or cant you behave diffrent?
I hope whe can behave with more respekt in future.
@Cromwell
By the way it seams also an problem of the comunity that some people takes only one batch out of an whole text they dislike didnt read the text ready use a lot of phantasy to answer later things no one have written.
) 'till they start to spew out nonsensical, unfair things ('lets have the gamemasters play favorites' and whatever). frankly, what disturbs me most, at being clouded after minimum RP, is not the loss of items or skills, but the rape-like feeling.because I assume that this is what pisses the craftsmen off in particular.
yes, you got a point there.would be unfair in the sense that many craftsmen are pretty good fighters as well
yes, that is another point, that influences.We have plenty of people who simply don't know their place and start screaming for bloody human rights when someone tells them to do something
Erm, when it comes to a 'ghost town', you should understand that TB is (and has been most of the time even without my character or his rule) a 'ghost town'. It is not exclusive clique of characters that are willing to play along the same rules like the population of every other town, and thus it has very little population of it's 'own'. If you have ideas regarding how to change 'that' (as it seems that 6+ years of gaming have not helped..) I would be more than happy to hear it. I understand that TB might have some advantages (and thus, I've ooc-decided not to grief people and forbid any group from coming in there ig, unless there is a war or something), but it has it's disadvantages too, so it's not as clear cut as you make it sound like.Korm Kormsen wrote:yes, that is another point, that influences.We have plenty of people who simply don't know their place and start screaming for bloody human rights when someone tells them to do something
so, let us suppose, that most of the players in future would learn to behave medieval.
what then?
it is a typical medieval behaviour, if a guard asks for a bribe, to not pk a crafter. (Deuce seems to be specialized in that)
it would be the unique logical consequence for the crafters, to seek a better living in another town.
but that is not possible, because no char can exist for long without the services of TB.
would we like, that every town got all services/merchands?
then it might well be, that a goverment like that of your char and his guards would be managing a ghost town.
). It's not like it was an easy decision to just pack your things and leave to an unknown place and start anew. Most people will just curse and deal with it, even in today's world (paying for 'protection' or bribes is not too uncommon, even for big companies when they go to certain areas). Luckily there is at least one town where the ruler is willing to go at least a little medieval on people.. 
i can not deny, that your reasoning fits to the setting of the world.Are harassed by the xxxx?
I guess you are not wanted in the town anyway.
), when you become independent from the evil opressive yoke of Trollsbane. But Onions and tomatoes shall still remain exclusive for Nordmark, naturally. 
As that is not a dependancy for others.. we can not plant tomatoes. neither cabbage. and nothing, not even onions, is only planted in nordmark.Onions and tomatoes shall still remain exclusive for Nordmark, naturally
wellcome to the club!Seriously, I'm slowly getting a bit annoyed
i can not judge that. since my chars got assaulted so frequently in bane, tjalf has been very seldom in bane. last time, when our chars talked.as robbing or demanding of bribes from craftsmen probably is not every day occurence now
sim city? maybe. millionaire? tjalf plus the state coffers of nordmark count less than one hundred silver actually.on their "sim-city/who wants to be a millionaire?" game?
since i have not created a single fighter or mage char, since i play illa, i obviously would like to have my chars be able, to go around without armour, to chat peacefully with the neighbours, to plant or craft, to wield hammers and scytes instead of axes and swords, to even build sim city, if i like.What do you exactly want, Korm?
you reread most of my posts above, and you would see, that i try to find a solution for all. not just for sim city.I'll just ask everyone to leave 'the economic players' alone? Give me something to work with here.
