Probably this would have to be a death thing. I really want to ask about shop's, but that might be going a bit to far.

Well, we have the consequences for death, and we know how to start the battles, but we haven't completely set up how the battles will work when you are actually doing them. HP? Items? Effects? How RPGish do we want this to be?

Edit: and yea for a waiting period.

If someone is dead for whatever reason, they have one free revival after a period of 24 hours. Following that they have their character in its entirety returned to them.

Upon a second death, their character is lost, and they need to create a new one. Unless the Unbiased ones as a group decide to revive them for whatever reason.

Anything that they may have had is removed upon their last death and given to the person who killed them. If that person is revived, or to be revived, then their stuff stays with them. You will be told asap following the death whether or not it is their last death.

 

That is the rule.

Please vote yes or no. We need a majority though preferably unanimous vote to decide on this. 

Yes.

Considering how easy it is to 'make' stuff anyway, I can't possibly see the effects looting would have on anyone. With the exception of pride if you steal their mascot or something

Lets go with what's agreed to in the thread Nohadon posted once we have a consensus. We just need to establish a baseline system for surprise attacks, then we can talk modifications from duuels etc.

[Nohadon he/him]

I agree with Mac’s rule, which I believe is a majority of 2-1, so I have Changed the OP

[Nohadon he/him]

Also I forgot, what was the consensus on fractured guilds?

[Lord Meeker he/him]

I say yes

[Nohadon he/him]

To fracturing or Mac’s death system?

[Archer he/him]

To Mac's rule I vote yes.

[MacThorstenson he/him]

I don't know about other guilds, the DA just gets whatever they want. But the GB has a store and each member gets an allowance and commission from contracts they complete. Maybe have no limit on the funds that a guild can produce, but have a rule that members cant use their own guild coin. DA can make coins and give it to their members, GBs the same, they have to acquire it from other guilds.

This will be my last post today. Sorry guys, I need to get up in 6 hours.

Also, I say no to fractured guilds,.

[MacThorstenson he/him]

Actually wait, can every one please say what hours they are most available to talk about this stuff? Mine is about 700 am to 1000 pm est.

[Archer he/him]

I vote no to fractured guilds. 

[Nohadon he/him]

From Monday to Thursday (school days over here) I’m good from 9-5

[Archer he/him]

In EST the best times for me are 11:30 am to 1:30 pm (spare), and 4-10 pm (but that can be stretched to later into the night if it's important)

Yep to macs rule. And no to fracturing. I had to reread.

I’m dumb and have no idea, I think it’s GMT+4 or GMT-4 but I’m not sure, I’m in Abu Dhabi (United arab Emirates)

I've got to go to sleep soon. I suggest over the next 24 hours we open the floor to nominations. Anyone can nominate anyone for the positions of unbiased and mediators. Tomorrow we'll reconvene and give people the chance to reject or accept the nomination, then vote to confirm them. 

I'll go first. I nominate @MacThorstenson to be an Unbiased.

There's more unfinished business (we need to finalize base rules for violence and the system that they use, we need to get our topics in order, and if @Nohadon hasn't already he should read my proposal for the agreement (see post with red text)) That said, we're close to being done! Good work everyone.

I am 7:45-10:30 MST

i am also making a double post after I have caught up with everything. 

[Kidpen he/him]

6 pm EST to 9 pm EST, but I'll be able to check every once in a while from 9 am to 6 pm.

[Lord Meeker he/him]

@Nohadon Are we going to use Arena of Valor for agreed duels?

[MacThorstenson he/him]

Here is an updated list of what could be done to be done before we can launch the Alpha trial of the RP.

1. Finalize Mediator guild,
   1. including choosing reps, unbiased and a few mediators
   2. maybe polishing up responsibilities and power
2. Finalize a system of combat,
   1. How fights will be monitored.
   2. This includes a system of punishments/consequences for dying. (Completed)
   3. Stats? Free form? How will combat be conducted.
      1. Current plan seems to be a list of rules that could be followed, you pick which ones you want for the majority of fights.
         1. I would suggest we play test this system before we settle on it. This should apply for any system we try to decide.
      2. Another plan seems to involve lots of stats (HP and the such) and actions
      3. A third option is free form RP.
3. Get all the guilds to agree to Archer's contract that he posted in another thread.
   1. This will have to be done last.

That was a list of what I think we can all agree needs to be done. This next part is a list of cool features that I think would be neat to have.

1. A mercantile system
2. Maybe give each guild benefits for joining (For example, the DA gets to have people with extra powers, tCoC are stronger more effective fighters, GB's have skills around spying or sneak attacks, LB's have ... Books... or something? I haven't read Alcatraz. LA has a holy bonus or something. IDK.)
3. Give leadership benefits. (to encourage the creation of smaller guilds.)
4. Launch a chronicler guild
   1. What they would do is, for a fee, keep a record of your character and allow you to store things with them, messages weapons, the such. If your current character dies, they would set a condition that could be met by one of your later characters, and is only known to the guild members. If this condition is met they would give what they stored for you back to you.
      1. An example of this would be:
         1. Mac gives them a whole bunch of hemalurgic spikes. And information about him, and a charge to continue the work of science, for the betterment of all people.
         2. Mac dies.
         3. Cam comes along and spikes someone. (That happens to be the condition that the chroniclers set.)
         4. The Chroniclers bring Cam in and give him the hemalurgic spikes, and Mac's message.
         5. Emboldened by the Holy Quest that Cam has been given by one of the greatest hemalurgists ever, he sets out to continue Mac's work.
      2. This provides a fun way to continue a character concept once your Character dies permanently.
   2. Members would be able to be attacked. Maybe design their base in a way that allows people to fight there way in and destroy certain vaults if they successfully fight in deep enough.

One more thing I thought about last night. We should make it good form not to engage someone in multiple fights at the same time. With the dying system etc,it would just be confusing at the end. I suggest that the mediators highly discourage an assassaination if they know the person is already being assassinated at the time. Same with duels
