Shattered Kingdoms

Whatever. Attribute whatever you'd like to my suggestion.

After all, I'm not in the SK top-ten.

I don't know why I ever imagined that anyone in the p-base would seriously consider a change that I brought up.

Because it is a bad idea? I think Imperialistic_Babble pointed out the concern that veteran players have with your suggestion:



You don't think this would happen. A lot of us do.

I think the reasoning there was to avoid a curse, not to avoid high murder, since we all know Gwynnestri probably pardoned him anyways.

Also, evena, calm down. Nobody is saying you're a terrible person, jfc. This idea wouldn't work because A) We'd still wind up with people like <insert favorite horrible leader> in those positions, and they'd do the same stuff. B) It's really not much of a change.

The diplomacy system needs to be changed so that it means more than whether or not you can take guard NPCs somewhere.

I don't think I suggested that anyone said I was a horrible person.

I suggested that I am an RPer, and that suggestions from RPers are always regarded as some whiny reaction to seeming unfairness in the lawl code or faction system, whether or not that's the case.

We are second class players.

It's not a bad idea. Problem is, people don't want to put the work in behind anything like this. So much easier to run around playing kill tag than to actually want to role play out situations of diplomacy. To make this idea even more relevant, add in trading to other countries that will effect the countries economy. Six countries, Uxmal would trade 20% of its goods to each country. All other countries decide how much they want to trade their high/low commodities into other countries. A country is getting 0-5% trade and wants more to make their economy cheaper, send a diplomat to negotiate. A country wants to be isolationist? Set all trades to 0%.

I don't know how to combat this kind of logic:

OP "Hey here's my idea"

Others "It's bad because..."

OP "LALALAL ITS CUZ U H8 ME"

Others "well, no, it's bad because of the reasons we explained

OP "CAN'T HEAR YOU CAN'T HEAR YOU"

Evena you're not usually so ridiculous. Deep breath and reread?

The idea of winning or ceding territory is an interesting idea that is on the long term roadmap.

But remember, bards? Yeah, I think you know what I am saying.

Is it bad I Actualy lOl'd in a room by myself?

patrisaurus,

Nobody offered any REAL reasoning why this couldn't/shouldn't be done. I was brushed off because: 1. it rewards RP characters 2. there are craptastic leaders that don't even bother to RP and some players don't think these people should have such a position (which I absolutely agree with, and this would ACTUALLY HELP to eliminate) 3. the PvP-squad admitted that THEY would be looking for ways to exploit it 4. clearly, I'm just starting another thread to QQ about jailtime.

Despite the fact that this COULD be done IC without a code, there's a reason it's NOT: It doesn't work. It's actually been tried to horrible failure.
