Marlon P. Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 To decrease the need to bwoink people for not following the new archetypes being enforced on factions, and to decrease the potential of turning off a new player by bwoinking them over these and allowing them to fall into what are called noob traps, I am suggesting that the following be a mechanical restriction in character generation: If this is too difficult mechanically please consider adding visual aides on a sidebar, a topbar, or a bottombar to show 3 examples of what a character from those factions look like. This will minimize the workload on administration, clearly communicate expectations, and avoid potential PR disasters. Imagine the drama if an poorly worded bwoink says someones character is too white! Lol
Tristan63 Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 I think instead of restricting freedoms, as, I can assume there would be exceptions to every rule and especially in an instance where the creation of a character that could have any sort of backgrounds is concerned. I think instead of this, before you change to an accent/ethnicity/etc you have to check a box affirming you've read the little lore blurb that pops up whenever you select a new one.

I like this fix more. Good idea.

That would be changing the new rules, i think. Even if you click accept you could still get bwoinked.

Correct, but I would say it's a good middle ground between mechanical hardlocking certain people from certain places into certain appearances/naming conventions and having free for all tg madness, for lack of a better term.

While I'd like that, and its a good idea, i want to make sure the existing rules dont become noob traps.
