Tuluk Closing to PC play -- discussion thread

[Rokal]

Unless you happen to be out of town on the weekend your hometown changes dramatically, leaving you with the dubious prospect of having to RP reacting to a life-changing event you don't really have any solid information on 

I'd say try to get in touch with staff. See if they can help, if you haven't already!

[BadSkeelz]

Nah, fuck it. I'm just going to guilt trip them into giving me awesome stat rolls on my next character.

Nah, fuck it. I'm just going to guilt trip them into giving me awesome stat rolls on my next character.

The sad thing is that I'm actually trying to save the character with the shittiest stats I've ever had on any characters I've played in my 10+ years Arm career.

[WarriorPoet]

Holy shit! I leave for a few months and everything falls to fucking pieces.

I will reserve judgement for now.

WP's edit: Sorry if I came off harsh or uncaring. I forgot how high emotions can run around here. Just jokes. I love you all.

One thing the faqs aren't too clear about is that it says we can still play tuluki ex-pats somewhere else. Rathustra also recommended that as an option. I read the whole thread and might have missed it but does that mean we'll be able to still make characters with tuluki tattoos at creation and perhaps point to luirs or somewhere else?

Yep! You'll be born in Tuluk but playing in a different region.

I'm weird and of limited experience, but I didn't find the two cities that much different to play in. Different, but not so much that it really affected my playing experience very much! But then, I've only ever played irrelevant, forgettable nobodies.

A consolidated playerbase sounds good though! I like the idea of rare roles seeming rarer, and regular folks like me being more regular.

I mean, really, life as a Commoner is kind of the same anywhere. Big difference was in Tuluk, you respect the Templarate out of fear for what they could do, and what you know they're capable of (but never see). In Allanak, you fear the Templarate out of respect for all the crazy shit they do and torture devices at hand. Bunch of sadists.

[BadSkeelz]

I was never really afraid for my life in Tuluk at any point (RPTs not withstanding). In Allanak, even as a fairly high-ranked PC, there was always that note of paranoia that kept things interesting.

Having seen the backend of Tuluk, you probably should have been.  However, Tuluk is nice in the sense that you won't have some random sociopath murdering you, just the establishment and its shadow artists, so, um, systematic sociopaths.

That's because 3/4 of the Allanaki characters have maxed out sneak and hide, full footpads + black cloak clothes and are all waiting for you to leave the Gaj.

The other 1/4 of the characters are gemmed 'gikers lesbos.

So if you're not either of that category, that leaves you with being that perma whiny guy who just wants to be wuv'ed and have babies.

Which one are you!

[BadSkeelz]

Just an ordinary man, trying to do his thing in a world surrounded by mutants, abominations, monsters, and such.

That perma wuv who just wants to have 'full footpads' with gemmed babies, whiny guy and 'gicker lesbos. Consensual of course.

Limited edition Levy tattoos on sale now!

Edit: All the other sekrit tattoos too, actually.

[Jihelu]

Time to start hoarding Sun tattoos right?

WAIT... Now I know why Allanak was never exciting for me. I never managed to run into 1 'gicker lesbo with any of my characters there.

This Red Room?

Because the action in Tuluk right now is giving me some seriously creepy "Twin Peaks" vibes.

Time to log in, Northerners.

My experience is the literal and complete opposite.  I was never safe in Tuluk.  Almost every force wanted to discreetly manipulate and destroy me.  Allanak is not quite the same so far(like you mentioned, RPTs are a different story)

[Inks]

I wish Tuluk was always this terrifying.

[Norcal]

You don't need really high ranks in 2 or 3 organizations to aspire to. You need a half dozen organizations whose members can reasonably compete with each other. That's what drives conflict and plots.

+2

I totally agree.  For me at least, in a leadership position it is much more interesting and fun to devote more time to my whole clan competing with and conspire against another organization, rather  than me personally trying to compete and conspire against PCs in my own group so that I can move up the leadership ranks.  It also still leaves open the possibility for folks who are not in leadership to aspire to take me out and move into my position.  Conspiring against another group can build coherence and common goals among the clan and make it more fun.  With Tuluk closed, I think we need even more of these other groups. More groups = more fun and more opportunity. FUN is the bottom line.

This. Seriously.
