Genesis Forums

Question goes out to everyone ..

If you have someone who has a casual play style and doesn't spend the time to learn the rules and expectations of a domain because they don't have the time to invest. But just come to Genesis to hang out with their friends ... Do you think they should be held to a different standard in respect to someone who plays the game a lot and would have time to figure those things out? IE -- do you think they deserve lighter punishments .. or more reprieves - especially if it is a first time offense? Or .. do you think the same rules apply to all. If you break the rules .. you deal with the consequences and OOC reasons don't matter.

thoughts .. opinions .. ?

In my opinion that would pretty much depend on what the offense is. Without more details it is kind of hard to tell. Are we talking about somebody giving guild secrets away on <ntell> or somebody talking ooc when they should be ic?
In any case I would alway opt for a more lenient approach first since none of us are holy. Ok, wait. Actually ...

A rule breaker is a rule breaker. You shouldn't have to bend your rp just because someone doesn't know.

I bet I know what this is about.

I will lay 2 to 1 odds in Sybarun coins that someone killed the Overseer in caves and became enemy of SU.
Which is a retarded way to end up on the most advanced of any enemy system. I mean if a SU walked by at the time fine, but automatic is dumb imo.
From that day on the enemy system changes how that realm treats you and other stuff when u visit but will leave that to ppl to find out.

I did it. Entirely ignorant I was doing anything that might be deemed wrong by a bunch of haughty falchion is my birthright unionites.

Only way off is communication with the guild.
Dying doesn't sort it.. Found that out when a friend led me into Jadestone Doll's room. She doesn't like SU enemies.

While it makes for harder gameplay, its immersion value is good. Personally, i would think this effect should be spread... I always disliked that npc's just go about their buisness while you are slaughthering their kids next to them, and forgot who you are if you leave the room once.

Of course, it makes the game harder for those roaming more carelessly. Or slaughthering the donut
