How does a piece of wood with runes attack people?

Uh, magic?

What never ceases to amaze me is how people who choose to RP a certain thing seem to think that they should be able to dictate how people respond to that RP. Just because you think what you're doing is amazing and interesting doesn't mean other people have to. Nor does it mean other people are required in any way whatsoever to bend over backwards to accomodate the RP you decided on your own to do. If you want RP to go a certain way then you should probably involve other people OOCly in your planning in order to get the scripted response you're lookign for.

Why would a trial be held? Is a trial held for anything else? You're proven to be a traitor, you get kicked out. I know there is one person in Celest who has been (don't know if they still are) a servant of a tainted god for decades and has managed to avoid detection or prosecution, served in high positions, a member of the leadership clan, etc. So it can be done.

A Wizard Did It.

What he's saying is that it was a very lame way for him to be found out after 3 years of work, for a game mechanic to do it rather than a person.

You totally missed the point.

I don't have a problem with getting kicked out when I'm proven.

I'm annoyed when the proof comes from the mechanic and nowhere else.

It's an RP inhibitor and always has been. The trial was just an example of something you could do. Or just have a meeting with an accuser, whatever. I'm saying there's no RP to shoving someone into statues to test them.

It's a repeated pattern that's boned me a few times off and on for three years and I'm sure many others. It's annoying and it makes no sense for statues to magically know.

He said Munsia reported him so apparently someone else knew for Forren to even trick him into walking into the totem. I guess I just don't see the problem. It's kind of like being upset that someone finds out what family you're part of because they use family tree. Or find out you did a quest because they do a full honours on you. Or finds out you've killed mobs in a certain area because they can attack you without declaring. How do I even know someone's actual name when I haven't been introduced? It seems an odd thing to be upset about given how much information we acquire through no actual RP or effort.

It's just game mechanics. If you want to be sneaky about something, you RP around them. For example I know of one person who served a banned god once that just didn't join that order officially. Simply took orders directly from the god. If your character knows that totems can magically detect your allegiance to certain organizations, then your character should know to take precautions against those magics if they don't want to be found out.

It is a one-handed weapon.

Nice

You shock an aslaran tribeswoman with tales of terror bestowed on villages who don't follow Magnagora.
An aslaran tribeswoman slaps her knee and declares that, by the gods, the Village of Shanthmark should follow the Mighty Dominion of Magnagora after all!
Shouts rise up from the Village of Shanthmark, as its denizens loudly pledge themselves to the Mighty Dominion of Magnagora.

MAG VILLAGE WOO

Also 2500 CREDITS WOO

Well, I don't have them yet, but they're on their way.

My first ever design getting approved in less than a day. Charites.

New area. Good place to hunt for midgame players who are sick and tired of aslaran/krokani but aren't buff enough to take on gorgogs yet.

It even gives gold!

And you just told everyone about it. You're supposed to keep buried treasure secret, goddamn you.

not say 'x marks the spot', point to said 'x' and hand out shovels

I have finally gotten "Symbol". As in, the real deal symbol. Finally, finally, FINALLY. I'm so happy I could scream.

Congratulations!! You'll notice bashing is muuuuch better.

Fun fighting in faethorn!

Thanks Shamarah! Though you're still a bastard for killing my stag.

illusory self/dodge/contort

I should have jumped on the bard bandwagon a long time ago.

Fun? When I tried to fight you alone you did nothing but run away. Eventually I got bored and left.

That is his (current) general tactic... I guess it's fun for the Druid, but not for anybody else.
