An Arx Peeve Thread

[BloodAngel]

@sao Thank you to all those that helped. It is a great resource for quick reference!

@sao said in An Arx Peeve Thread:

If you are a prodigal, you had to accept the Faith of the Pantheon in order to bend the knee, it was a condition of you and your people not getting brutally killed.

That means that publicly professing that you don’t understand the religion is probably not a great idea politically since it’s the only thing separating you from being a dirty shav.

SIGH.

This is why whenever religion comes up I make a point of going ‘CHARACTER does things proper-like, as a Theology 5 person would do, PLAYER is dumb and knows nothing!’ and also spend like half an hour digging through the lore sections on faith between poses, lest I accidentally mix up one god or another.

[sao]

@Jennkryst well, now you have a quick reference guide on the player wiki at least

[Jennkryst]

@sao BOLD OF YOU to assume I remember the player wiki exists! (I mean, it’s easier to search, but I still never find whatever I’m looking for there. Maybe I’ll give it another glance at some point soon!)

[sao]

@Jennkryst I posted it to the OOC Stuff board!

[Narson]

It was a really fun FAQ to read through. Hopepfully it makes Faith/Godsworn more accessible to people. A good outcome of the new board (as the idea came up here!)

[Solstice]

I look forward to checking it out. Faith is generally the least interesting topic for me IRL, so there was an auto-immune response to sifting through so much of it on Arx.

I’ve avoided doing it wrong by engaging with it as little as possible, and that’s not really my preference!

So thanks for this.

[sao]

@Solstice Hilariously this is how I started out the game and NOW look at me.

I love the Faith! I keep trying to sneak back in as a priest but it hasn’t worked out yet.

[sao]

@Snackness We’re super happy to have you back on the channel at least.

Now when cron runs, I’m sure to find something totally unrelated. Or maybe it is super related? Who can say!

@Jennkryst I know clue #1

[Jennkryst]

@Roz Oh?

[Rowan]

Will there be Staff GM’'d events held for players that don’t or can’t play in EST timezone?

[Roz]

@Jennkryst I’ll give you a spoiler. It’s not a regular clue. Like – it’s not “here’s a piece of information that you have evidence of.”

It’s

i wish i had spoiler code

It’s a thing like “you’ve seen someone do blood magic so you know it’s real.”

So tbh I don’t know if it’s even shareable, because it SHOULDN’T be shareable, it looks like it was just a thing that feels very much like Alpha/Early Beta Arx where this sort of exposure came about a lot more slowly. But at this point, a lot of PCs could probably have it. I think I just learned what it was one day and was like “hey that applies to my PC can I have it” and they were just like “oh sure.”

[Herja]

@Rowan I know I plan to do some stuff during daytime hours on the weekends. We have staff from different time zones so there should be ways to accommodate.

[Rowan]

@Herja Amazing. Thank you.
