White Journals, Proclamations and NPCs
Posted by Apostate on 06/16/19
Because staff has a lot to do, I worry often that players often forget that their words are essentially public record that's consumed by hundreds of thousands of NPCs potentially. Staff usually doesn't often have time to weigh in, but keep in mind that someone taking a stance that's contrary to conventional norms can have blowback or laudable stances can be praised. We'll be trying to have them be more meaningful in the future, but I would say that particularly in things that are essentially white journal fights might have NPCs grabbing popcorn, but it often would not make the people involved look good and potentially negatively impact how seriously NPCs take them (with associated drops in fame). And there HAS been at least three non-consent PC deaths that resulted because they had very questionable white journals (blacks will not have negative consequences). So yeah bear it in mind.
