Quote from: Master Color on Today at 03:14:45 AMQuoteThis seems to suggest that you think we have a high proportion of players who simply exist to grief and want to run around causing mayhem or otherwise winning at hurting other PCs. In fact, a lot of this thread does. This honestly is not the case. Most, if not almost all, of our players are here to roleplay, create characters and tell stories.
I feel like I'm being gaslit.
I've been burnt enough times to know that players in this game arn't curious about stories other than their own. They will seek out positions of power in game and they will use them to clique, cheat and grief. And then staff will punch down on the victims when they complain about it.

Quote from: Dresan on Today at 12:28:17 AMI also fear that wide spread anonymity will result in bias or outright cheating by both players and staff to help learn or identify m-desc hidden players. This type of cheating is pure poison for the game and is best avoided all together. Equally, limiting the gear to certain clans for special purposes defeats the entire purpose of having them at all since clans should have less need for anonymity.
Quote from: Tuannon on May 22, 2024, 09:59:51 PMAs much as I like seeing newbles, I think a core of dependable nobles is also required. Maybe a couple at least, people the staff know will play a noble properly. With (certain) staff levels being unable to play this pool will diminish but hopefully some new people will come about.
I also think there should be similar slots all the way down the social pecking order.

Which would be fine, IMO. My issue with mdesc-hiding masks is that the description is -replaced- with the mdesc of the mask. So the green-eyed barrel-chested man, wearing the mask, appears to be a purple tregil with floppy ears, complete with a 6-line description of his smooth skin and tail.

That's why -masks- specifically - are a bad idea. If the mask resulted in
The masked humanoid
and look masked returned
This person is disguised from the neck up to look like a purple, floppy-eared tregil. His shoulders are narrow, he has a barrel chest and long limbs. His left hand is missing a pinky and he has big feet with delicate ankles.
If that happened, then masks would work great. But that's not what happens, and that's why masks don't work.
Would be 100% fine with someone wearing an ankle-length cloak/cape, head covering, face covering, and gloves, to show "the tall humanoid" and an mdesc that says:
This humanoid is covered head to toe, it's impossible to see beyond their attire.
