War system questions

[Anor]

So we have established that Tower have this right in their minds to be involved irregardless of the fact that it goes against the their RP based on the books. Therefore make them fully involved. Give them a general and allow us to declare war on then.

You don't get to be involved and immune at the same time.

[Treach]

They aren't involved. They can't declare war and make terms. They don't get rewarded for killing the patty. In these wars you can consider them
bonused unclanneds.

Everything you argue is the same for unclanneds in the wars. Your only defense is to warrant anyone who helps taking the patty.

If you have 5 red eagle players, 4 of them could log onto unclanned and have a huge advantage in not giving points for the war if they die going up against 5 *oL players.. The only detriment is getting a warrant on those characters.

But I guess if they did that then they wouldn't get the qps for killing the general. So it depends on how much you wanna win those terms.

I think you are biting off more than you can chew if you want to give a barracks to TV and allow them to make terms.

I don't think the system is perfect but it still seems really good to me. This problem is just exacerbated right now because COL were the first to declare war.

I say do it if *oL and Defenders think they can handle it. Let them burn tower to the ground or, as others are implying, get destroyed.

I'm aware of that. I'm not picking sides, just being an rp nazi. Just saying from an rp standpoint Eagles would probably tell Tower to shove it and fight the war on Amador themselves.

That’s just, like, your opinion, man.

To be a bit more expansive on the thought beyond quoting The Dude: It’s dangerous ground to tread trying to dictate anyone else’s rp based upon your own headcanon (imo that’s what you’re doing with your last sentence). What seems to be the most guiding principles for clan rp on the MUD throughout its history is imm dictation, precedents, and gameplay concerns. Many players have attempted to guide clans’ rp independent of those factors to varying success (more often failures), but personal headcanon based on book interpretation, RJ/Harriet/Sanderson comments, bs, etc. is just that, personal headcanon. What makes sense to you from an rp perspective might be just the opposite of another’s, and both can be equally valid/invalid.

I know this. I'm just seeing all of these people very fine person, gender being but a construct of society about rp, and I'm just saying bookwise how the rp would be working out.

I know this. I'm just seeing all of these people very fine person, gender being but a construct of society about rp, and I'm just saying bookwise how the rp would be working out.

And I’m just saying that book-wise, I completely disagree with your opinion. I think both of our opinions are equally valid/invalid, and we could both quote parts of the books to support our arguments. We are working with a base of fiction created by one (several?) fallable person(s). Your headcanon seems to be that the possible stubborn farmers-turned warriors of Manetheren would tell AS to go shove it if The Children of Light sent a massive force to war against their homelands. My headcanon is that those poor country bumpkins would take all the help they could get to defend their homelands from such an invasion, even from (possibly especially) AS.

You calling yourself an rp nazi by claiming some sort of encompassing understanding of the books is presupposing that your interpretation is the one and only truth. It’s not. Many of the happenings of the books are hotly contested by fans. To extend such opinions to an extrapolation of the universe of the books that is this game, is claiming an RJ-level of expertise. None of us have that.

[Rig]

Lol. We can argue about book rp and canon forever. Let's agree to disagree anyway, and be on with our merry adventures.

[hasp]

You can tell when Rig is in the CoD from all his posts.

[Rig]

Screw you Hasp, just because I'm dying like a god damn champion doesn't mean you get to harass me ((((

That I can most certainly agree to.
