So about Tuluk

Incorrect. While the skills may be similar, the documentation, background, expectations, and roleplay expected are entirely different. Allanak and Tuluk, apples and baseballs. They're not even both fruit.

*cue retarded barrage of, 'oh hay so now anyone can justify being flat/not emoting with excuse #1893712!'*

So what you're telling me is that the documentation says that Lirathan templars are not supposed to start plots, aren't supposed to interact with the populace beyond PKing them, and shouldn't at all try to set the tone of the city, and shouldn't set a high standard of roleplay for other characters to follow?

I wasn't specifying anything about being a mage, secret or otherwise. Qoriya's existence is a plot-killer. Whether she's playing it right or not, that is the result. She kills plots. This makes it unfun for everyone who is involved in plots. Whether they are mages or not, it doesn't matter. Tuluk is dead, no one wants to play there except a few random mudsexers who don't get involved in plots anyway other than their little petty mudsex drama. The reason it's dead - is because Qoriya ruins the fun for everyone. Even people who aren't FROM Tuluk - rarely go there anymore, because Qoriya.

Qoriya is the direct cause of its deadness. Nyr is partly to blame for allowing Qoriya to continue to exist, but as it was said already, Nyr wasn't the staff member in Tuluk when Qoriya first showed up. So he can't be to blame for her intitial existence. That's all on Qoriya's player. And she CAN store. There's nothing stopping her. She is killing plots that might possibly be a lot of fun for people, but aren't, because they're being prevented from continuing past the initial setup. They're being prevented by Qoriya, who knows all about the plots, knows everything about the people involved in them, knows their backgrounds and bios, knows their skills and whereabouts, at pretty much any moment when she's logged in. She knows what they're thinking, she knows who they hang out with, she knows who they're secretly aligned with, she knows who they are unsecretly aligned with, and she knows who THOSE people really are, when they're not pretending to be something else.

And so - she ruins plots.

She doesn't have to. She COULD store. She chooses not to.

Staff definitely needs to own up and take responsibility. But that doesn't let the player of Qoriya off the hook. She is still responsible for her own part in the "deadness" of Tuluk. The fact that Qoriya continues to exist, is the player of Qoriya's responsibility, because it is in her power to choose to store, and she chooses not to, even though her character's existence is in part responsible for the deadness of tuluk.

Is there something about this that you're not getting? She's not a victim in this. She is co-authoring the deadness of Tuluk, right along with the staff.

yeah, it actually is a fault and shortcoming of the player that they can't devise a better method to play their character beyond mindless murder machine with no personality. and it's a fault of the player that they contribute to making Tuluk a shittier area than it needs to be. they're not a robot that must adhere to the exact doctrine of the docs, it's playing a collaborative video game with other people.
