Maeve has awarded you 2 QPs: Scribe

Maeve says, "Okay, let's kick off staff topics or updates."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve declares, "No topics on my mind, but last week I had to relearn how to do some things (which
is why some requests are a bit slow, sorry about that but we appreciate everyone's patience), and I
did some help file updates in line with last week's OOC discussion. Processed the request queue
(where recommends and the like come) most days this week. Thank you for recommending your peers!"

Temi says, "Whew, well."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Temi claims, "I did the backlog of evictions, so there's all sorts of new houses added to the real
estate boards, and new possibilities to fill up the auction house - still randomized so we don't get
everything at once."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve nods at Temi.
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)

Meiari states, "Oh it's randomized? Cool - I was wondering about that."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Otbert claims, "I think the echo in the actual auction house says it's ICly randomized but OOCly
static? I was there and it was confusing."

Temi states, "I'm still going through and making sure there's not unattached rooms that have been
forgotten, though."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Capitalism wonders, "When it comes to old shops as well, have those evictions been processed at all
yet?"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
PositronicJune says, "It says that for the quest shops I believe. but not the shop that sells items
from evicted houses and such for silver"

[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Sparkles muses, "Oh it's okay, however, I know that for a temporary period of time following some

limited number of test cases involving that set of more complex rules. Given the change over again,
should folks involved in those situations reach out?"

HIEROPHANT asks, "Oh, is the minigame gone now? D:"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)

Temi nods at HIEROPHANT.
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)

PositronicJune muses, "The minigame in 'help captivity'?"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve states to PositronicJune, "We removed a 10 QP spend to kill, capture, or rob inactive players,
and we stated that if people idle out of "strong RP" then people can request a wrap up, including a
return of items, but need evidence of the RP in their cnotes. If a player idles out of RP and staff
wrap them up, death XP is forfeit."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve states, "No, I think that remains. We didn't touch anything in HELP CAPTIVITY, and captives
still have protections around receiving RP if they go inactive."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve claims, "Because they're in a different position than people who can RP freely."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)

[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
HIEROPHANT says, "Ah, well, as long as responding to IC consequences brought on by IC action isn't
to hide from them by logging out for long periods of time, it's fine either way"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Temi states, "Absolutely. We've tried to lean further in the direction of rewarding people for
either wrapping up their RP on grid or at least giving some closure, rather than disappearing"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve says, "Theoretically, someone can just go inactive, but if you have proof of IC action that
someone is avoiding, then Staff can wrapup."

Maeve nods at Temi.
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Temi says, "So if you want control over what happens to your character, definitely make sure to
handle that proactively."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
HIEROPHANT asks, "Is there still a 6-month wait time on doing that, or is that different now?"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve says, "I think there's still a weakness in the system that staff won't just know who those
people are, but we've suggested writing a Request Board and CCing important people who were involved

[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)

[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
HIEROPHANT says, "Whew, that's pretty short, okay"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve says, "It can be extended if a player alerts staff that they're away."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Temi claims, "If you'll be gone longer, just let staff know, yeah."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve says, "But general consensus is that we usually know in 4 OOC weeks if someone is coming
back."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
HIEROPHANT says, "That system was intended to resolve that in a manner made equitable or "fair" by
assigning numerical weights to different factors, but it was imperfect and was only to my knowledge
used one time (and failed) so no big loss I suppose"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve nods at HIEROPHANT.
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)

HIEROPHANT says, "Based"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
HIEROPHANT wonders, "This puts it back on staff judgment, so maybe consider keeping the list of

[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve nods at HIEROPHANT.
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
HIEROPHANT says, "Sneaky people should probably have a sneaker sort of resolution, wrapping up mages
or Knights or Reeves or other combat-capable people should probably injure the party wrapping them
up, that sort of thing"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve states, "I don't think the judgment is necessarily the problem, I think it's not bringing
staff in when people are feeling dissatisfied, and staff not knowing whether the pbase desires us to
take action or not."

Maeve nods at HIEROPHANT.
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Temi claims, "We will have rolls for contested liquidations, if a person wants to liquidate but
others want to catch them or something"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
HIEROPHANT states, "Making it clear that AFKing out of responsibility isn't acceptable from the get

"[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve says, "We defined wrap up as an attempt to provide 'story closure', so it should fit the RP

Maeve says, "And it comes with an XP penalty for failing to uphold your side of RP."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Temi claims, "But if you're hunting someone, definitely make sure that's cnoted proactively. We'll

Maeve nods at Temi.
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve states, "I'd also like some evidence that the person in question is avoiding."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve claims, "Like, I can hunt someone but have literally no reason that other person knows they're
being hunted."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
HIEROPHANT claims, "That part can be hard to prove, since it's proving a negative"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve says, "But I'll be more condemning of someone who is clearly trying to avoid consequences for
their IC actions"

Otbert claims, "There's some rough ones I can think of where it's hard to tell if something is an IC
avoid or OOC avoid."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Otbert questions, "Forge a letter from a close friend, put it in a package with a tasty
treat/cake/whatever, with a bit of Sea Rover's Bite in it. Do thery avoid eating it because they
ICly sniffed it out or do they OOCly avoid it out of paranoia?"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve says to Aldrich, "Nah, it's not a moral thing. You can read HELP RP AVOIDANCE, HELP ACTIVITY,
and HELP WRAP UP in your own time."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve states, "If anyone has any feedback on how we've set it up, we're happy to hear it. We made
the changes processing the discussion from OOC Chat last week where we raised it because some
players had privately raised concerns about RP Avoidance via inactivity."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Otbert claims, "You'd need the potential avoider to cnote it to know its IC on their part, but are
you gonna punish them for not Cnoting by assuming it was OOC then? Also not great."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Maeve claims, "The avoider doesn't need cnotes, the person raising the wrap up request needs them."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Otbert says, "The avoider's cnote is the only one that could prove the case in this one, though."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (cloaked)(bathed)
Otbert states, "It's a deduction."
