Shattered Kingdoms

I agree with Achernar that log sites are part of this problem, though the problem itself is a bit of molehill rather than a mountain.

Yep, go for it. Just don't bother presenting any evidence outside the game - we don't police log sites, IRC, IM conversations, etc. If you folks think a log site is ruining your gameplay, you need to pressure whoever runs it rather than whining to us to cleanup the mess they're causing.

It's a give and take situation: log sites are a form of appreciation of the game. No-one wants to stomp on someone who enjoys the game and takes the effort to support it by building any kind of fansite. But with great power comes... well maybe not, but you get the picture.

What's the point of being in a secret organization when all of the twinks knows who you are and will make some lame-ass excuse to know why they know you. I know it is impossible to stop the forum sites. It can't be done anyways. What can be done is to limit the amount of info that they can get. I am all for the cabals to be secret from eachother except for the leaders. Same with the Thuban faith.

RP is getting ruined due to OOC dickery.

That wasn't directed at me, was it?:/

Hot bitches?

...either great corruption or great responsibility.

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. And I have seen a plethora of examples in-game.

With great power comes great responsibility. Unfortunately, this truism is ignored in both mainstream culture and the counter-culture. There is a sizable minority IRL that hold this truism in great regard but that minority shrinks considerably in games like this.

With the above in consideration, I believe 'who religion' should actually be taken back off-line altogether and auto-anonymous should either hide affiliation altogether or be something along the lines of a three-way switch; i.e.,
Regardless, ungreeted cab/trib members should remain race/class unknown in who-lists. I never understood how I, a newly inducted vet cabalite, would suddenly know all the GM cabalites by race and class; or how I, a GM cabalite, would suddenly know the six newly inducted jman cabalites I never met.

It's up to the leaders of secret organizations to be sure only those with the best interest of the organization (ICly and OOCly) in their hearts are inducted. A difficult task, but the RP value of a player will determine if they are just hungry for cabal/tribunal skills or actually considerate of the fellow members. Make them work for the induction instead of just handing them out like candy on holloween just because you need more members.

Pk log posters are pathetic anyway.

"LOOK HOW COOL I AM I GANKED THIS N00bZ N'JAYLEWTED HIS GAER.. PLEASE TELL ME I AM COOL DA, OVT, GL, or THE CANNIBAL BECAUSE I NEED YOUR ATTN SO BADLY BECAUSE I THINK YOU MATTER MORE THAN MY RL FRIENDS WHO ARE FEW IN NUMBER BECAUSE I SIT AROUND PLAYING SK ALL DAY"

.. who cares? Why dont you start posting some RP logs which actually show some talent.. OR, be respectful and just take the couple minutes to take away any revealing OOC information that people cant help but exploit... mutual respect man.

Log sites are a waste of time. I dont bother with them for that reason, and to avoid any tempting OOC info.

In general, yeah. It applies even more of late, what with all the "biggest group wins" tactics.

Watching peso kill Eilek is funny as hell, though.

Strange, even if I do somehow come across OOC information, I have the ability to not use it in game. What a noob I am.

Yeah, me too. Go figure.

The only time an organization should look at someone with their OOC actions is when they are being considered for leadership. Otherwise, their IC actions should be the only thing that gets them in an organization.
