An unexpexred vacation

So, due to an odd series of phonecalls that started at 5:50 in the evening on Tuesday, I have found myself in the heart of British Columbia's Wine Country, where I will be staying for the weekend. If I fail to fear, do not worry, for I am in a far better place! Really, though, I'm visiting my grandp...

Re: 12 years of UV! But we obviously need a change.

In the end you have to trust the other RPer to treat you fairly, then have the courage to speak up for yourself if he doesn't. No amount of tiers or disadvantages will change this sadly. Except maybe indeed to watch each other's back, to show and give support to those who need it. Which in turn bre...

Re: 12 years of UV! But we obviously need a change.

But that rule should also be what stops abuses in power, right? Every one should have an "out" if they don't like it, and when that "out" is taken away, then we start to have no fun. Ah, could you, maybe, rephrase it or something? I'm afraid I'm not following what you're saying ...

Re: 12 years of UV! But we obviously need a change.

Okay, you officially have me convinced- you have a great group. Kingmaker, but set in a steampunk/Gothic Horror setting ripped from Ravenloft, taking the conversion on the Paizo forums to make Pitax a Clockwork Duchy, and using some of the concepts from Tales of the Old Margreve to turn the Stolen ...

Re: 12 years of UV! But we obviously need a change.

Vizir, I gotta say I'm a bit disappointed... everyone knows that the pathfinder ninja beats out the rogue class hands down in terms of flavor, ability, and options :P We already have a kithkin ninja, and he's using the glory rogue with the greaserat archetype so he can craft all the bombs and tanks...

Alright, let's do this! LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROY! Tier system : Interesting idea. It's a great base of reference, but I would not recommend making it official, required, or in any way hardwired into the profile or acceptance of a character. Absolutely feel free to outline it as a point of consideration. I...

Re: 12 years of UV! But we obviously need a change.

I don't disagree with the problems of the advantages/disadvantages system, because balacing out those is in and of itself pretty arbitrary and can require some fancy footwork just to make the numbers work out. I'd personally like to see it less as a 1:1 ratio than a "every character has a chanc...

Re: 12 years of UV! But we obviously need a change.

Okay, just trying to get caught up here on some of the hypothesizing going about here... On character limits, the archive was a compromise idea to kinda skirt around the cap but not really. If we want to boost activity, lifting the cap would likely be an asset, like removing the character-in-only-on...

if you're up for a fair bit of walking and one climb up a somewhat insanely tall set of stairs... Oh good!

Re: 12 years of UV! But we obviously need a change.

And just because creating abilities on the fly already happened doesn't mean it should be encouraged or even become the norm. Personally I think it falls under the common sense label. Don't be an ego-tripping abuser and the smaller things will probably be accepted. And if it's not accepted, adjust!...

Re: 12 years of UV! But we obviously need a change.

To be fair, Gaeva, we never really got to use the archive, 'cause we've been locked in a plot since it was implemented, so.... Also, to be fair, some established folks have a a tendency to also create powers on the fly. Some people who were mods even. Some people with an unhealthy fascination with T...

Re: 12 years of UV! But we obviously need a change.

I'd have to second Lanadyr's reasoning here... but we've done so many little tweaks that hasn't changed anything that I'm a bit dubious that this alone will be enough. If UV is going to keep on, we may need to do a full relaunch, with a new site(maybe just a new theme so it seems new), a relaunch ev...
