Initial reports of sekrit Tuluki rpt claim Uaptal is either completely gone or the current chosen was assassinated by other houses. Lets get some more intel. I was there. It was good. That is all the detail you are going to give us? Where's the sekrits?  ? |

It was the most Tuluki RPT of all time.
By that I mean, it was announced as a 'Recommended Play Time if you play in Tuluk'... when honestly it should have been an "RPT - For people who know who you are already."
..but if you weren't a Bynner (by and large not even Tuluki players haha, good one Nyr) or like, in the Legions, or like, employed by a Nobel house, you weren't there probably and had no idea what happened...
...And even if you were a member of the elite in-the-know groups maybe you saw some stuff, and it was cool (?) but you probably only know a tiny bit of IC knowledge about what happened.
So I suppose that (through ways which are totally not magic) some Nobel house is going to be all, "We read all of Uaptals archives in a night and perfectly absorbed generations of information on animal husbandry and can maintain the current stock at current output levels without any losses in productivity during this time of war, because we spared like, one Uaptal chick who is enough to teach us anything we didn't learn last night from reading."
Which is dumb, but, whatever.

I didn't make it to this rpt. The scripted finish to this one sounds better than the last one when the scripted finish was done only by npcs.

Which is dumb, but, whatever. I'm trying to figure out why Nyr thought this would be compelling storytelling. Teh Uaptals were killed and nobody talked about it! Tahts big! A big noble house like that vanishing and noboddy talking bout it! TULUK IS ORWELLIAN!!!!!1!11!one!So the fuck what. this whole thing strikes me as an attempt to lure in the rest of the playerbase by making Tuluk appear happening and in-flux. Its like Nyr cant grasp that people don't care about events their participation neither leads to nor impacts. I can only guess we'll keep seeing more and more shit like this as Tuluks pc pop continues to stagnate or decline. |

so basically another HRPT ended with extremely high ranking NPC/VNPCs with powers well beyond the limits of players doing something that will have superficial IC ramifications
i don't know why there's a fear of allowing chaos into the game. make random NPC bandit camps that don't respawn and let players raid and kill them. destroyable animal nests that can reduce the population of NPCs in an area for a time, and if they're not then hey maybe there's an awful lot of spiders around bugging the 'sid miners. etc. give people something to do beyond sitting on the sidelines and watching as never-before-seen uber templar decrees game change #25385.

Agreed. With both of you. At the rate things are going, in about 18 months Nyr will have to start adding groups just to have something big to disappear. Itll follow the inevitable HRPt where Muk utep gets disappeared. Allanak will attack only to be turned away BY AN EVEN GREATER POWAR THAN MUK NOBODY KNEW ABOUT LOL WTFBBQ NYR IS AN GOOD RITER!

I went back and asked for more details on qoriya. It took a while because tracking down a person who I knew was there was not easy since they don't play at all anymore. This is what I was told:
Qoriya was there as they left the tuluki fortress. She was given a group of pc soldiers to protect her. Somewhere along the way she completely disappeared, not vanished, just wasn't there anymore even her horse. The PC guards who had been guarding her didn't know what happened to her. She might have been there when the tuluki army was being shot at by arrows but their memory is hazy and they don't have logs. She was already gone by the time they reached the allanak army though. From what they recall she might not even have been there when the templar male was being attacked by a whiran, at the very least they did nothing to help.
They don't know what happened to her. Whether she died along the way to arrows, or vanished somehow and got out of there. Perhaps she just turned back and went back to the northern fortress or maybe found a way to not leave at all. The pc guards following and guarding her, were still with the team after she took her leave and they didn't even notice her just vanished. For three rl days no one knew if she was alive or dead, not even the other templars. At the end someone randomly searching for her mind found her hiding out somewhere like she usual does. She began walking with a cane after the battle for some reason(?) The person tell me this, read it here how she had been resurrected. To them, it just made sense and they believed it.
I'll take back my words about her being resurrected since there is no proof, just some pretty shitty smelling circumstances.

I heard she was grabbed by a whiran and dropped near a bunch of PCs or in the Allanak camp.
Falling could of been what the cane is for.
Psions have vanish and shadowwalk so those could of been used at any point.
