Staff seem to be prepping up the return of the Kuraci Fist and handing Luirs Outpost back over to the House Kurac in the near future. It makes sense considering the failure of the garrison
The byn have stopped all contracts due to some secret one for a great lord, with the exception of escorting Kadius and Salarr from the Luirs' to Nak.
When they asked for a return trip, the byn told them no, leaving the Outpost with only Nenyuk (virtual) and Kuraci family members. This is important because right now the merchant houses are not in agreement what to do with a group called the Maw. Kurac says this group stopped all importing of northern materials to the south, one of their members, Mors, is responsible for killing Henio-da, and another one of their members, the grassman, is responsible for the murder of a senior Nenyuk NPC family member. House Salarr is staying somewhat neutral, and House Kadius is seemingly secretly supporting the Maw with coins, goods, and freedom to roam in Morins.
My Opinion:
I will be happy if the outpost goes back to the Kuarcis and the fist/outriders are brought back. I am not happy, that something as cool as this, will be happening for the worst kuraci family member ever played, Tavrian.
The garrison and merchant house council just does not feel right. This is not a knock on just the current GMH Family members, but the past as well, they have been acting like nobility. Yes they are rich commoners and they need to remember that.
Thoughts?

Sounds mind-numbing, though I say this as someone who doesn't play the game. Luirs has been a next-to-worthless game location in terms of plots ever since Tuluk closed, and has been on life support since then. I would not be surprised if what you're observing is simply preparation to close Luirs down rather than return exclusive control of it to Kurac, since you do seem to be describing an evacuation of sorts.
Who is the grassman? Who or what is the Maw?

I think it was a noble experiment in pc leadership that failed. I was hoping that the "realistic world response" to a military without effective allies or leaders would be getting smashed by the gith. |

Isn't this a plot that is going on right"now"? Evidently someone is doing something secretly. You do realize you are screwing up some peoples gameplay. |

Just a humble gamer’s opinion.
Forget the Kuraci Fist. Let the Outpost get nuked by a gith warband like it deserves to be. It’s on life support and populated by some of the worst twinks and role players in the game. Yes, Tavrian is garbage (sorry mate it’s true). Not a fan of the Garrison or the merchant council, either.
I don’t know, that’d probably put too much pressure on staff to promote activity in the south. But it’d be preferable to just turning Kurac and Luirs into even more of a lifeless husk.
Let the North and outpost turn into a Wild West. Maybe put some resources out there to interest the various factions/houses in venturing out there and getting into conflict with each other. Bringing back the Fist would be a very lazy and disappointing turn of events. Why even bother?
I don’t want to include any spoilers, but the Maw is a relatively small group of characters in the North. Some of them are great role players. A couple of them are meh role players and horrible meta twinks. Not staff pets but still stirring things up in an interesting way (mostly because other players in the South are bored and see them as a plot point).

Qwerty, this is the spoilers board and he literally didn’t post any information beyond rumors and vague (unconfirmed) details.
As always, go suck a cock.
(he wasn’t even right about the byn afaik, lol)

The vast majority of roleplay-required games allow their communities to discuss active plots on their forums and OOC channels within their game, and they can handle it just fine, because they are playing to have fun, not to win. Armageddon and a few other RPIs can't handle similar discussion because their communities are playing to win, not to have fun. But that's just an aside.
More on-topic, the staff should have turned the focus of their work to the south ever since they closed Tuluk. Late is better than never, if that's what they're choosing to do (and that's kind of what it looks like, though I would be just as amused if I was wrong).

Sounds like the Maw played the Garrison like a fiddle and took out their only leader worth a damn (Kiff) in pursuit of some kind of agenda or other
Maybe you're wrong and it's actually the Kadian Falcons that are going to take over after the Maw has winnowed out the competition loyal to other Houses
I haven't really played with Tavrian in any appreciable way but it seems like everyone IC and OOC is in agreement that he's a huge dick, what's so bad about him? Or is he just playing a heel on purpose?

In the interest of fairness, not all plots are staff plots. Players naturally identify things to care about and invest in. They do now and they did back when I played. It's just that player plots tend not to get staff support or what staff support does materialize tend to be negative or opposing NPC animations.
With the loss of Tuluk as a foil to the South it only stands to reason that Nak's influence would have to find a new punching bag. See anyone who tries to play a northern centric character or the Pah tribes. It doesn't behooves any merchant houses to be particularly resistant to Nak because although VNPC/Background shit exists to justify independence there is always the player reality of all the leadership Templar/Captains/Whatever are under Nakki control and are loyal to Nak because that is the primary hub of PCgen these days.

Tavrian ... not the worst Kuraci ever. Just on par with most of the other Kuraci I've ever seen. You don't remember that skanky female one? Slinky Di or whatever her skank name was? He's pretty much in line with that. He's pretty awful though.
He runs Luir's like it's Bartertown. If they turn Luir's back over to Kurac, and that's the quality of sponsored leadership we're going to continue to see there ... ugh. Just ugh. A huge step back for the game.

If the staff are good at anything, it's taking huge steps backwards.

Mors seemed pretty badly written.
Couldn't imagine his character as anything but a robot.

Reminder, kids, Kadius has zero say in Morin’s. Its Tuluki power there.
I personally think its dumb to return the Fist unless they’re going to allow all GMH to have hunters again.
