The Roaring Rose does function the same as a gun in almost every regard - it lets you use gun skills, it increases range based on the Volley talent, so on... with one key exception - for whatever reason, the shells simply do not apply to it under any circumstances.

I tried attacking normally, using it as a sub-weapon, using spear skills, using gun skills, using Reaping Petals... None of them allow shells to apply.

Since we have magic seeds now why not include a system for non-tome skills to be made?  We can have an acid sword slash skill or a light based bow attack, or ice axe 3x3 around you, so forth. Simple and easy.

So we all know the glorious 6 HP restoring Staff of Miracles. What is it support to be used for and why is the Staff of Mending several times better? (Yes it's 5 FP for 6 HP vs 20 FP for a lot more). Can the staff be used to trigger that one Priest talent if you do not use magic or staffs to heal with? Or perhaps a new effected added on?

Is there any chance we could get a chance to Impure Elements that gives you the effect of it on any element you are hit by? Since you are taking 1/2 Void Energy as damage, in a high level fight this could actually be quite costly.  This also would allow more classes an oppertuinity to use Impure Elements.

Right now, the Ram skill provided by the Goat Lord's Helm is...Not too good. It's basically just a better Kick, which in itself is outclassed by a lot of stuff as a repositioning tool, be it skills as simple as Repel or just plain old Bash. Making the accessory somewhat just outclassed by the Snake-Fanged Helmet.

Now, I'm not saying the skill the item provides should be godly, far from that, but I'd like for it to have some actual **use** rather than just having it be a higher damage kick.

My suggestion would be to give it a sort of Charging Strike.

Not exactly a Charging Strike effect per say since I don't really have in mind for it to require to use Movement, but :

If Charge is used before Ram, the user will dash in a straight line equal to Movement , which'll stop at  the foe, uses the Ram skill and knockbacks them ignoring immunity equal to a number of tiles equal to Crossed Tiles(/2 maybe ?) and with Crossed Tiles*4 bonus damage. 
( It could also KD if enough tiles have been crossed, but that might be way too strong ?)

(For clarification, by crossed tiles, I mean the number of tiles the user'll go through before the dash before meeting the opponent. Eg, if the opponent's 7 tiles away in a straight line and I can reach them using the Charged Ram, the numbers of crossed tiles will be 7)

I'm not too sure about this one since it basically requires Base Soldier to make the item better, but it's an idea I'm somewhat proud of. 
Though this could also simply be applied if wearing Goat Lord Hooves too without needing to use Charge beforehand, since those are useless outside of greedily hoarding a singular talent point. That, and it hardly makes sense two pieces of gear named after the Goat Loard aren't part of a same Set.

Applicable BYOND Key - Zilkat

Character Name - Justice

Request Type - Character Ability

Request Details -  I'd like for Justice to be able to make magical contracts: In similar fashion to how usually one "deals with the Devil", a contract that binds to the soul of the person, similar to a curse somewhat, and allows the caster to set the rules, whilst the one signing agrees to the conditions with blood. 
The original goal of this was to set-up the contracts for the band that Justice runs "The Disciples of Justice". Though, it isn't applied yet ICly, the idea is that these contracts, while active, help the band members be bolstered during their passion(music in this case) so that they may be better musicians, whilst also receiving the benefits of having a "Death Ward" so long as they remain loyal to Justice. The counterpoint was, should they break the contract, their passion is completely stripped from them, and any damage mitigated by the death ward would come back.
This overall, would be the idea of how contracts work, but I think their functioning has to always remain in a similar format:
The contract has certain pros, that the cons interact with directly.
However, the idea of Justice being able to make these contracts for other people would be interesting too; Where for example, a cult wishes a new member, so they rely on Justice to have their newest addition be loyal, at a benefit to the new member.

Examples of this could be the following:
A religious figurehead wants to have their words be divine, as such they make a contract with Justice that makes their words extremely affable, and Justice puts the condition of having to entertain them every now and then, and failing to do so will strip their voice away forever.
A couple wish to bind their souls together forever, as such, they make an equal contract that binds their life together, should one die, the other will too.

The limitations on it could be related to who bares the contract, using focus, ideally. Such as the usage of the Death Ward being an exhausting power that is kept by the fact Justice needs to be close-by for it to work in the first place, and that it can't happen multiple times within the same day. But this can be spread out for all contracts, those that do not include Justice as part of the contract would have a toll on the "contractor", if the contract has that possibility. Some contracts will offer tolls on both, and some on none.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - I want Justice to be able to have a type of magic that isn't exactly seen in Korvara, only on Youkais, so why not have someone contract on people?

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - 

Roleplay - Justice is roleplayed as the teacher of the Disciples, mysterious in nature of how they came together, and it's been allured about his talents, though, not completely(as to avoid not having the inconsistency of not knowing if this is approved), and it'd make for an interesting method for Guild recruitment, as the group is interested in creating a Guild.

Lore - There is no lore supporting this idea currently, as far as I'm aware of, as it seems contracts with Youkai are different than what these contracts are supposed to be.

Ban Notice for Lumi, Aegis, Mewni, and Croakie

With the bans covering the same issues; and much of the appeals posing the same arguments against their bans, this post will be a Net-Cover of all appeals; as they are all concerning the one ‘Four-Person-Ban’ which occurred.  We will in our best efforts attempt to make it clear explicitly why this ban was enacted, and hopefully make it clear why there will be no repeal for a ban of this caliber. As well as communicate with all hope, that this was not a crack-pot decision of one or two GMS; but a unanimous decision by the team to go forward with them. We’ll start from the top, and go through each of the cases, charges, and explanations to the best possible clarity without putting other players at open-risk of Harassment. 

"For repeatedly gatekeeping, metagaming, harassment, and OOCly preventing others from being able to exercise their roles fairly."


This caught our attention and was investigated over the course of a few months, starting sometime in January. This was not an abrupt decision, it’s been a coalescence of evidence stacking up against them over time to form a clear pattern and equally clear intent.

The reason these four got the same ban message, the same sentence (barring Croakie’s time, which included a slight typo that we’ll remedy when the correct time is up), and were lumped in together is because they all acted with coordinated efforts to achieve the same goal.

You might remember that this is the same ban that Blade was dealt, for excluding the other half of the donship. This is also intentional, as they perpetrated the same thing.

With the added harassment charge, in this case.


So with that in mind and the way that we always handle harassment cases and try to curb the potential for backlash, we’ll explain the charges as best we can.


Gatekeeping

Normally private game-related servers for IC groups are an issue due to the fact that GMs can’t moderate them effectively and sometimes echo chambers tend to bring out the worst in people, as one of our previous threads mentioned.

But in this case, one was used to completely exclude not just one player in a position of IC power that’s meant to be on equal footing, but a host of other players on that side of Meiaquar.

It would be one thing to have a private echo chamber with the usual problems that come from them, but it’s another thing entirely when said chamber is used to discuss and plan important nation-related things that should be done in a place where both sides of an IC faction can see, on an OOC level.

To throw a metaphorical ‘benefit of the doubt’ bone, if the concern was that someone might metagame with that information if it were made available to them on an OOC level, then that should be discussed with GMs instead so we can ensure everyone plays fair.


Metagaming

Also known as OOC in IC, this includes things like fabricating IC reasons to be upset using OOC information for something that doesn’t exist and didn’t happen ICly.

It also includes making up reasons ICly to try to justify an OOC agenda of kicking someone out of a position of power that’s inconvenient to your aims of attacking another faction for more OOC reasons.

Likely with enough time and enough people turning a blind eye to it (or worse, being complicit in it), these things could have amounted to something of actual IC substance and the lines would have blurred too much to act upon.

Especially with a coordinated effort between several different parties.

But thankfully, we caught it early.


Harassment

All of these things were targeted attacks for OOC reasons and a history of issues between the offending parties and the victims.

Harassment is a broad, blanket statement that we use to include things that fall under the umbrella of targeted attacks towards others. (Highlighted in case any of you were unaware.)



* This includes dragging your fellow players whether or not it’s done to their faces.

* This includes unsubstantiated claims of wrongdoing in an attempt to get a fellow player in trouble.

* This includes spreading misinformation/false narratives about your fellow players in multiple semi-public spaces to ostracize them from their peers and increase the divide you created in the first place.

* This also includes hiding under objects to monitor what your fellow players are doing.

* And of course, DMing people to incite them because you didn’t like something they did/said ICly or otherwise.

As you know, in the past we’ve had to ban several prior offenders for posting inflammatory statements in SL2-related discords. The consequences of which were often not felt until months after their initial attempts to ostracize others.

We were lucky this time to catch things as early as we did.

OOCly preventing others from being able to exercise their roles fairly

It’s more or less been stated above, but multiple players were excluded from important discussions and things they should have been made aware of on an OOC level.

This makes it all too easy to say things OOCly and ICly to fit the narrative you’re trying to peddle, like:

“So and so doesn’t do anything, they’re unfit for their role”.

If you make it nigh impossible for others to be included in what your side of things does, it does make it hard for them to do anything. Meetings, prisoner transfers, almost anything short of directly ignoring them ICly.

But then, you wouldn’t have to go as far as Blade did if you simply didn’t allow them to exist in the same IC spaces as you, by keeping them in the dark.

Needless to say, it’s not something we can ignore.

Honestly, I'd rather have 'em banned all together but for the sake of the odd exception can we just make all child looking playbys have to get approval first? Legit it is weird how some technically adult characters can look like straight up kids and I am just not okay with that on a visceral level.
