Hey all

Apologies for OT post but...

Michael Scott and myself are starting a new flat out
in Mt Albert this monday and in preference for a
flatmate we would like someone that is a Roleplayer,
hence sending this to the DQ groups.

Anyways anyone interested feel free to email me or
grab me or mike at the guild meeting, to find out the
particulars etc.

You can't actually upload an image to the wiki itself, but you can 
link to one that has been stored elsewhere.  Jono has done that with 
several and that's how I added Phaeton's character picture and the 
Pasifikan maps etc.  Look in the edit window for those pages and that 
should explain how it was done.

One of those rare situations is where GMs contradict each other in
story-obvious ways. In those cases, a campaign committee is a better
starting point than an arm-wrestle.

Has it, in game terms?
Has something else happened other than the map entry being noticed by some
players/GMs? I may have missed it.

Is an option for resolving the immediate issue be saying that the temple,
currently apparently closed, was never overtly used by anything more
offensive than a tolerated 'neutral'? Is anyone unhappy with the idea of
'neutrals' being tolerated on the edge of 'civilisation'?
Changing the Wiki/map entry seems the least-story-breaking approach.

It follows that the overtly 'neutral' location could only be sacked by a mob
on suspicion, in a way remarkably similar to 1) below if this is thought
better in some way.

Having a mix of socially approved, socially tolerated, and socially despised
religions (plus practical atheism) available seems to give a wide range of
role-playing options.

I'm mildly surprised that the campaign committee translated a desire for
polytheism being available for PCs (and a requirement that characters don't
kill each other on sight) into a requirement for open worship of members of
the 72 immediately outside the SAG. The stories of guild members being
pacted to demons can surely be treated as extreme rumours amongst a great
choice of fact, fiction and everything in-between? Was this option discussed
and discarded off-list?

That was the hope of the committee, but it seems that the main objection was that 
some deemed it impossible that a place or group aligned with a dark power to exist in 
anything less than deep cover in Seagate.  Even one as well positioned and supported 
as our ever-so slightly pitch-black Seir, and the fact that other players and GM's  
had been comfortable with the notion for a number of years.

It struck me that if the PoD never gain any sort of social legitamacy (without 
enforcing it by running a nasty empire), even it is temporary and/or though devious 
means, then they are only going to present one face.  Hooded cultists, huddled in 
basements or secluded caves hailing their dark masters in whispers just in case 
someone notices them.

That's more sad than scary.

This really, really wasn't the objective, though it paints an amusing picture.

"Shrine of Malfas?  Sure, it's just down Darkpacting Street, off of Sickening 
Abomination Plaza, next to the Blasphemy Burgers.  You can't miss it."

For a start, no-one want to make that for players to pact away their characters...

That wasn't addressed directly, and you're right.  Considering thing they get up to, 
or say they get up to, few people outside of "the know" would easily credit or 
dismiss such stories.  Adventurers are the equivalent of free-lance secret agents, 
and have causual access to information and "technology" that would be disasterously 
disruptive if it fell into the hands (or minds) of normal folk.

And it's clear that a number of them have spent too long staring into the abyss....

I have no problem at all with a covert House of Seir being present in 
Seagate - I have said multiple times that this forms an excellent 
compromise. What I have a problem with is campaign-pertinent information 
not being publicised to other GMs.

In-game the existence of the House of Seir in Seagate could and should be 
kept quiet - makes sense on multiple levels. Out-of-game this idea should 
have been discussed at a GMs meeting BEFORE it was introduced into the 
campaign world.

Then I'd probably be looking at a much less full in-box...

Lets be honest, without doing a complete debrief of everything a GM does
on every adventure to everyone, this was never an option. 

However we know have a tool that allows us to diseminate this
information, the problems surface. The Wiki has allowed us a greater
level of visibility into the shared world. I have learned all kinds of
things about the world, somt that I don't like and some that I do, but
it is great to see the info being shared.

As the detail grows on the Wiki we are always going to have things that
some GM's like and others dislike and they are going to be far more
visible and therefor contentious. 

I suspect campaign issues like this may have to be voted on at Guild
meetings like rules. Or we can let the campaign committee say how the
world looks and formalise the currently informal group.

1) William runs a game resolving the matter, after all he stuck the temple
there to the best of my knowledge and no doubt had some cunning plan
revolving around it. He has already indicated that he would do this if
approached by the rapid PoL hordes.

William is busy for the next month getting married. Certain events are to be

Talk to George if you want to sign up. If something reality bendingly

IMO It stretches plausibility that the Duke can have normal relations with
his neighbours if he allows open worship of one of the 72. (I think someone
else made this point earlier in the week.)

This section (along with people's reactions) implied to me that the temple
had at least in the recent past (pre-lots of PoL forces in town) been
overtly Seir's. Another example to us all that communication is never
perfect, e-mail especially so.

"Providing the cult keeps paying their guild fees, their taxes, and for
their gambling licence, there seems 
no reason not to allow them to continue to operate. It should be noted that
the Temple appears closed these days -- apparently in response to the number
of PoL troops in the city -- for which the Duke would most likely praise the
cult for their discretion."

SAG members opening declaring to each other pacting to powers can be
plausibly ignored by the Duke.

The social legitimacy of the PoD can be different from those that follow
them, of course. Ironic that if a cult-with-a-false-front gets too popular,
it is likely to get a 'check-up' from the local PoL namers to see what
colour the hats really are.

i do not think the campaign committee wants the scratches associated with trying to herd cats.

we are trying to collate the information on western alusia. this will take time. things that were not commonly known will become known. some things may appear to contradict our expectations. Sometimes a ballance has to be struck.

GMs are free to do as they wish. We can only give guidelines. If a GM wishes to have ravening hordes of lightists rampaging through temples, killing and maiming the worshippers, so be it. If another GM says the pub next door is quiet that night, that works too.

All of this happens in a multi-gm world.

Yes, yes. I know your neighbor sacrifices children to the Dark One but he's 
lived in Seagate for over seven years! Its hardly fair to run him out of 
town now is it?  - Cronak the Witch.

Ignbold the Normal to a friend after the Council meeting.... Well I guess 
old Cronak goes on the list as bloody insane or worshipping the Dark One as 
well..

Come on guys! Lets face it.. would you suffer granny re-animators or 
children sacrificers as neighbors?
Only the UN!

Solution for Seagate? 200 hundred peasants, 4 hayricks, 53 torches and a 
review of our stupidly non-judgmental policy of allowing baby-munchers to 
set up next door... after all, aren't these the type of guys we go 
adventuring against?

I thought it was explicitly clear that William is GM for the event (if any) as he has the prior
involvement as GM and is presumably aware of the history/background of the temple but that he does
not have much time in the next month or so.
George is helping out by co-ordinating initial interest, sorting them into sides if necessary and
passing on summarised info to William.

Do you really think that George will exclude someones involvement because they are on the 'wrong'
side?
If it was me I'd be insulted by that assertion.

We all play this game, none of us are completely impartial.  But when we act as GMs it is our
responsibility to try to be impartial.  It's self regulating, if a GM was not impartial they would
very quickly find themselves without any players on their adventures.

Cheers, Stephen.

So, do we _have_ to help them defend themselves if a mob attacks them while
they aren't subject to a party agreement?

The point that this discussion appears to be raising now is should the
Guild allow pacted characters? If we are going to live in a "Good"
world, with everyone worshipping the PoL and no sign of the PoD anywhere
maybe we should be blackballing all the Bad characters. 

With no bad/pacted characters we can all support the duke, remove any
temples and go back to being defenders of the universe :-)



Or.....

We could accept that we are here to roleplay and people want to play a
range of characters. From Fanatical Good through to fanatical bad and a
myriad of shades in between. Sometimes things might not make perfect
sence in a shared world and we have to accept that. 

BK might be a looney who destroys every bad thing in the world but Adam
may have to pretend to ignore things occasionally, Armound may be keen
to bring down every PoL building in Seagate, he may have to chill a
little, Father Rowan may have to temper what he does, (actually I am not
sure which side he is on) but we have to accept that in a game we all
have to have some space to play in and Seagate should be one of those
places. 

In game terms everyone deserves the right to play their character both
Good and Bad as best they can. That's the bottom line. 

Now what ever rationalisation we have to use to achieve that, we should
come up with as a group.

Can I just check:
 
In game terms, has anything happened in the last season re the building
marked as 'Temple of Seir' on the Seagate map recently (-ish) published on
the Wiki??
 
Are we only discussing this now because players/GMs noticed this info and
said "now my character knows this, they want to burn it down"?

Yes and also said he was busy and Mandos would be involved.

At the time of my reply George had a character that may have been involved
in this.
Mandos has told me that he is not.

Mandos will orginise the 'black caps' err which one the GM or the Player?
I now know the Mandos will onyl be assisting the GM and that Mandos will not
be playing nore will his character be.

>Do you really think that George will exclude someones involvement because

Mandos is welcome to come join the que of wildely insulted people.
He will see me in the que ahead of him - saying its not right to GM your own
charatcer.
No I do not wish to think any error could fall into this area, and I dont
want others to think this either.

>We all play this game, none of us are completely impartial.  But when we

>responsibility to try to be impartial.

I agree. But when it comes to something that my character is involved in - I
normally abstain as I dont want to blur the line. Other GMs are happy to
actively work towards making there nest better.

>It's self regulating, if a GM was not impartial they would
>very quickly find themselves without any players on their adventures.
I agree - which is why I was insulted by the idea of a GM AND player playing
on this.
I do want to play - I do not want to play if Mandos is running/helping if he
is playing Dramus.
I would choise (as you have pointed out) not to play and to protest seeking
clearifaction (as I have done).

I now understand that Mandos is not playing a character on this 'PBeM' and
that the sole-GM is William.
Excellent!!! - I look forward to signing up.

Kind regards
Jonathan Bean

Part of this seems to stem from a difference in opinion as to the commonly
known information and common profile of the PoD / demons / the 72.

Some GMs hold the opinion that they are indeed evil, but that not everyone
knows their names and natures, and that they can have good PR... which coul=

lead to them being (marginally) socially acceptable.

Other GMs agree that they are evil, but hold that their names and natures

I think everyone is in agreement that the Guild should allow pacted 
characters. I haven't seen anyone suggest otherwise (if I did my mind 
obviously blocked it out as arrant nonsense).

> In game terms everyone deserves the right to play their character both
> Good and Bad as best they can. That's the bottom line.

Yes they do, though the more extreme they are, to either side, the more 
problems they will cause to other characters and the world. If you play 
an extreme good or bad character you have to be able to accept some 
in-character censure. And you have to take the consequences of your 
*actions*.

Agreed. I note, however, that whatever rationalisation we come up with 
doesn't have to include the Duke sanctioning open worship of Demons in 
Seagate. It doesn't have to not include that either. Obviously I 
personally come down further to the "don't allow" it end than most 
people, but I can certainly live with it if that is for the greater 
good. I do not endorse a "monotheist" view, but I would prefer a view 
that gives "good" some social edge over "evil". I won't be at the Guild 
meeting however, so good luck to the rest of you,

cheers,

clare

Hi Errol,

As far as I know, and as far as was discussed by the Committee, nothing has
changed.

The temple has been there for some time. There appears some disjoint betwee=
n
its wiki entry, naming it explicitly as a temple of Seir and the fact that
it does not actually (according to the GM) have a big neon sign saying
"Seir's Place", but is instead marked as the "Temple of Luck and Chance".

It also appears to be closed -- did anyone bother to read that in the reply=
?

What we appear to have is someone noticing for the first time that there is
a knock shop on the High Street -- a knock shop that has been there for
years -- and running around crying: "Won't someone think of the children?!"

Regards,
Martin

I too think that this is the root cause of the issue as well. The word
"Demon" has different conotations depending on the literature/game
experience of the various people. 

What we do about that is a problem as getting people to agree is the
same issue we have at the moment :0(

Lets be honest, without doing a complete debrief of everything a GM does
on every adventure to everyone, this was never an option.=20

Players PCs make contact with NPCs, in or around seagate, carzala or the =
wider world on every adventure.
Who can say what contact will be impact on another GM on another =
adventure. The wica in slipery rock that sold them the rank 19 skin =
changes, the captain of a fishing boat that can be hired for a price to =
take people up or down the coast/ river, Bob the alchemist, the Master =
tailor their party resuced and brought back to seagate "Owing" them an =
adventure or two back.

Its one of the reasons I like Jonos idea of some sort of factions list =
for PCs, if Player has reason to think they can go back to an NPC it =
should be noted. And your not left going what wica?

However we know have a tool that allows us to diseminate this
information, the problems surface. The Wiki has allowed us a greater
level of visibility into the shared world. I have learned all kinds of
things about the world, somt that I don't like and some that I do, but
it is great to see the info being shared.

One of the points that has been brought up is what on the wiki is public =
info? what is known by the man on the street, what info is known to more =
educated, politically savy, or regliously oriented. What can be lookeed =
up in the guild library, and what is there for the GMs only.=20
What we may see as this info is gathered and made public is PC knowledge =
verses Player knowledge becoming a problem.

I for one have yet to add anything that the PCs could not find in the =
scribe notes to the info on my planes errors and all. It saves plowing =
though several adventure worth of notes, but if a PC who hadn't visted =
before and hadn't gone to the guild and look up all the stuff on =
Paradise, brough up somthing they couldn't know.... bad Player -ve ep.

I can do this as it's my plane, but in a shared world where other GMs =
need to know stuff, we need to formalize how we mark stuff GMs only, =
avaible on reseach, and public knowledge.

As the detail grows on the Wiki we are always going to have things that
some GM's like and others dislike and they are going to be far more
visible and therefor contentious.=20

I suspect campaign issues like this may have to be voted on at Guild
meetings like rules. Or we can let the campaign committee say how the
world looks and formalise the currently informal group.=20

I think we are going to need some sort of  guide lines (maybe put them =
in the new GMs guide) that out lines the kinds of things that may exist =
in the shared parts of our shared world ( eg be entered on to the wiki) =
without review.
If a GM wants there to be something outside those guide lines then it is =
only in their version of the world, or their version of that bit. Or =
else they get it approved before it goes on to the wiki to become part =
of the shared world.=20
The campain commitee are probaly the best ones to set the guild lines =
(we can vote the guild lines into effect) and to do the review, with the =
option for both the commitee and the GM to take it to a full Gods vote =
if they feel they need to.
The words if in doult put it on the list and request a reveiw sound good =
to me, that way it will get discussed but there is someone who can make =
a decission without the need for a full gods vote, and hopefully it will =
take into account the public discussion.

This way even if some people don't like something it can still be =
approved.
It should incorrage GMs to stay in the guild lines with things around =
seagate and even if it isn't a part of everyones campain its can still =
be part of that GMs version of the world.

Helen

Oh, definitely.  And even beyond that there are PoL Agents around (Blitz
being one, Mary-M another) whose "spidey" sense will tingle when the unholy
folk are within 50 feet... or similar. These are usually active senses
though -- like Detect Undead... having them passive could be a serious game

Lay worshippers (people who go to lose money at the Temple of Luck and
Chance won't set off the unholy meters, but generally Initiates will, and

Sure -- and no-one (as far as I know) is arguing that point.

After off-list discussion with Jim I was left with the distinct impression
that the cause of all this ruckas is us coming at it from divergent points
of view around what the non-Adventurers know of the "D"'s -- not about thei=

actual natures.

possibly including some serious concealment magics).

Part of this seems to stem from a difference in opinion as to the commonly

Some GMs hold the opinion that they are indeed evil, but that not everyone
knows their names and natures, and that they can have good PR... which could
lead to them being (marginally) socially acceptable.

Other GMs agree that they are evil, but hold that their names and natures
are well known, and no matter how charming they can choose to seem, they are
never going to be socially acceptable... leastways not in Carzala.

As long as it is his own children and appropreate butchering techniques are 
use I don't see the problem with some one exerciseing thier religion. Also 
sounds like an effective form of population control.

So you admit that those who worship the dark one are sane do you.

Yes. MYOB and I'll mind mine. Also reanimating grannies makes sense at least 
as lesser bound undead they can ern a wage and provide for thier family. 
Maybe pay of those debts occured in thier dotage for care and feeding.

Damn straight get the peasents to run all those baby eating pointy eared 
vegetables out of Seagate. After all the only good Elf is a dead Elf. Guild 
members the exception of course.

... after all, aren't these the

Actually They are usually the employer, and damn they pay well.

As far as I can see from the notes on the wiki they talked to seir yes , =

It doesn't say where it could have been in the guild or at new haven.

Unless There is some other source, I think this whole bloodly mess may =

It may not be trivial to Terry -- we'd have t ask him.

As for how it all came up, my (possibly incorrect) understanding is that the
current "Heroes of the Dark Circle" sought aid there during their recent
adventure. 


 

So if your understanding is correct, that would be a "YES" to 
 
 "In game terms, has anything happened in the last season re the building
marked as 'Temple of Seir' on the Seagate map recently (-ish) published on
the Wiki??"
i.e. a party went up to it and knocked on the door/window/back way in.
 
 
If Turf knows about this, and is reacting to this knowledge, then in-game
the options are different (or at least there are different amounts of
back-story being broken if we fiddle with it.)
 
If Terry is having Turf react to info that he thinks Turf learnt some other
undefined way, then the vaguely defined act of learning hasn't happened yet
(if it is best for the campaign that it hasn't).
 
 
 
 
Note I'm talking about the pros and cons of different options here, not
specifying that one particular option is taken.

Hi all,

No temples in New Haven. The temple to Seir was in Seagate.

I think and expect that;
Turf was Name Summoning Saydar each day to check on the party.
Turf knows the inforamtion from Saydar.
Saydar who visited the open and working temple to Seir in Seagate last
session with Vychan.
Vychan did a call master in the open and working temple.

In Jon McSpaddens game last session;
The temple to Seir in Seagate was open for business and working with people
coming and going.

Kind regards,
Jonathan Bean

Knowledge of the temple spread in character as follows:

On a recent adventure, Vychan decided to visit the Temple of Seir in 
Seagate.  Saydar was paired up with him (since we were operating a 
"buddy" system to avoid being assassinated alone - misery loves company 
they say).  The priest of the temple came out and greeted Vychan and 
they went off to do demonic things.  Saydar waited outside.

After the adventure, Saydar was drinking and telling tales of the 
adventure as he usually does.  Turf was present and heard about the 
temple.  With suitable prompting and purchase of alcohol, Saydar was 
happy to point out the exact building.

Who knows what the Duke knew of the subject?  Terry (as a player) wanted 
the campaign committee to make a ruling on the response of the 
authorities to such an event.  You know the rest :)

Ciao,
Andrew

Sorry if this repeats what others have said [too many emails to wade through, still].  However I would heartily endorse Zane's posting.  

> 1> The duke wants to avoid conflict occuring in the

[...]
> 4> The Temple offered to add substantial monetary
> contributions to assist in the Duke's reign, with
> agreements to not do any overtly evil acts.

Or, perhaps the priest-in-charge is hit with an inordinately large fine for running an unlicensed bawdy house & then purchases said licence.

This has the advantage of giving the Duke money, without appearing to be bribed & reassures the Pollies that 
1) They were right ... wickedness was being done, but 
2) fortunately nothing as evil as was feared (exsanguinated grannies, etc).
3) The wicked have been punished.
4) A stern example has been made for other Poddies.
5) The Duke will not tolerate open acts of evil or excessive violence.

Conversely the Seirites can arrange for sufficient Showers of money to pay the fine ...

Hi all,

I’m in favour of William just running a PBeM and seeing what comes of it. I
expect that the PBeM will develop into a full game with many cans of warms
being opened and lots of problems coming to a head of some sort.

The base problem is we have a structure that all of us must belong too as
Characters that tolerates a wide range of Characters that are at odds
sometimes with other guild Characters. Not only that but you are also
dealing with a large group of Characters that are into violence to resolve
what they believe (rightly or wrongly) fundamental differences of belief.

We have something in game which makes some characters behaviour in a odd
way. This is because we do not address the issues at the player level which
I think we should such as;
We as players do not kill/hurt/steal etc from other players characters as
its often not fun, so we dont do it within the game.

But then again the guild has been around for a long time and mostly done a
good job.
