Re: Attachments in replies

So, I've thus far had little success in attaching files in a PM. I tried sending a PDF to several individuals who have not received it. Followed steps of new pm, I selected the file, clicked add the file. I didn't put any commentary. No files were sent.

Re: Retainers

If the secretary is doing direct action or at least it's known that what the secretary is doing is on behalf of the duke? Absolutely. If the secretary is clearly performing personal activities and not under orders from the duke? I would give some respect, but not the same as the duke.

Re: Retainers

Found it! Old wiki, FAQ: Though this is not a system mechanic, a good rule of thumb is to treat a ghoul as if they had three less Status than their Domitor, to a minimum of zero. Thus, while the ghoul of an individual with two Status may be beneath notice, the ghoul of an individual with four Status...

So, one little detail to bring up is perhaps something that's been effectively been dropped: Crafts levels of quality.

Re: Retainers

I remember reading somewhere that effectively you treat retainers and childer under the accounting as 2 status less than their domitor. I've been playing off of that, because as I see it, dealing with a retainer is different than dealing with the person in charge. From my end, if a retainer delivers...

I've got a PM in my inbox that says there's an attachment on it. When I click on it, there are no attachments in it. This seems to have only happened in replies and forwards and not the initial PM.

Re: Courtesy in Cruelty and other 'rules'.

As I see it, the "be careful when you give out info on the OOC level" can be viewed by my experience in game: So, when Grue was alive, one of the things that I did enjoy sharing was the fact that all that he accomplished, he did so as a caitiff. I didn't share it with everyone, because I knew that i...

Re: Absent Sway

My concern about absent sway has largely been a combination that it's been used in obvious ways and has been set up in overt pieces that you can't really opt out of. To use my character perspective: Absent sway has been used on him in ways that he either hasn't noticed or refused to look at absent s...

Lindsay's unable to log in

So Lindsay was in chat and it said her connection was closed on our end. On her end, she's unable to reconnect. Further, she's saying that she can't seem to log into anything on Endogaming.

Re: Feeding Grounds

From what I've gathered: It's not required a PC does the patroling. Don't want to deal with it? Most clans have at least one support NPC. What's stopping getting them to do it? Mechanically, the downtime a story's handled. It's opting out of the ramifications of having one PC in a clan from doing it...

Full disclosure, this topic has been in discussion since Tim and Faith were Primogen. The locations and everything were being off and on refined and the politics of it shifted around.

However, I'm not entirely cool with retroactively changing the rule and penalizing the characters who submitted the downtimes without knowin...

Re: In Game information

Just noticed one more thing: The old wiki had a page on Ventrue Ranks (rook, eiren, questor, etc). I just noticed it's not on the new wiki. It's been a load of help for some ventrue stuff, could it be transferred to the new wiki as well?

Re: NPCs and Rarity Merits (aka My rules are different)

My thought: If the NPC is of the passing through variety, then sure, so long as the point cap is equal to their home domain's, then I'm fine with them spending point costs. An Assamite Sorcerer with Awaken the Steel, for example, would be fine if he's briefly int he domain. However, if the NPC is a ...
