Goings on!

Notecard from Grace:

Some of you will not like this, and as a warning it's the role you pick when choosing human. We are not slaves but we are oppressed people. From now on there will be almost no defense of each other in a fighting manor. You may beg for your life or our families life but you will not in any way threaten with a weapon any vampire, only time I want to see anyone holding a weapon is after they have been hit and are running away and finally backed into a corner. Only then if you win you will LEAVE the vampire and run and hide, we are not fighters not hunters nothing, we must view this world as those forced into oppression if you need more research it is all over history.  We are victims we are physically weaker and more so because of hunger, life style and strain of every day life knowing it may be our last or a vampire will harm us. They are the court the law, and we drop our heads, Feisty is one thing but remember you wouldn't back talk a guy with a gun to your head. RP always as if that is the case they have the gun and you have nothing. This will be a hard role I know allot are use to being snuggled by some vampires, well in truth those are doing it wrong, but we have a chance to actually play our roles right, we don't demand anything only be thankful we have something, our dancing our singing just like any oppressed people will be kept in the shadows by candle light in our tavern and homes . Risking that a vampire may not be pleased and decide to burn down our fun to remind us we are not them, that they can take everything away from us. 

  I do not want to see anyone dressed up nicely, even the image of Borgs that was given is the look of aristocrats, pale faced in fear, worried looked with the bottom of there lovely dresses dirty and ripped.

Good Luck everyone!

New Ready Rule


Attention!

Although Neutral Paesani are allowed to wear any weapon in an OOC sense without being questioned, it is important that you know this Ready rule.


The Ready Rule


Before proceeding with Meter based combat you must check that your opponent is ready.


This need only be a quick OOC "Ready?".


As soon as your opponent replies likewise with an OOC "Ready" then combat can commence.


We realize that for some people this may seem to take away an element of spontaneity or even surprise from the game. But Role play is not real life, it is not played at the same speed, so to go from a role play situation into meter combat without a simple "Ready?" question, is like changing game speed, and therefore there needs to be some indication that this is about to happen. Meter combat should as best it can, follow the flow of role play, which is a far more planned and formalized system than an FPS shooter type game. Without this rule Drama is almost certain to occur. And without this rule we as admins have no way of judging the unfairness of an attack. We will therefore look for the application of this rule in any Logs we receive.


NOTE: If you have claimed that you are ready to fight then you will have very little reason to complain , win or loose


NOTE 2: This rule obviously does not apply to Warrior Mode and is not needed in Dice Combat.


You should consider that striking a player who is unprepared for combat is pretty much on a par with hitting an opponent in RL while they are in the process of taking off their jacket etc.


If you feel you need such an unfair advantage over your opponent then maybe you should not even be attempting to challenge them to combat in the first place.


If you find you are struck before the ready rule has been applied please do not immediately file a report.


First check that your opponent is aware of the rule.


If they appear to be unaware of it then direct them here. Then re start combat.


If they are aware but ignoring it, then report them.
