The mysterious Sand Lord holds sway there oooooooo so mysterious! His power is such that the Templars do not simply bust the place up. Don't forget the True Giants and the magick dampening power of the silt oooooooo and spice Kurac doesn't want Allanak to own it because then spice oh no...
Deep corruption, betrayal, and murder lore explains it. Truly deep (like supposedly the Sand Lord has no BG or notes beyond his existence).
Or Lord of Storms, I forget shit it's been years.

The usual Qwerty style including staff apologizing, moving the goal posts, straw men, and asking for more evidence of other peoples positions.

I think it's probably tempered by the fact these are 5 years old.

I would point out the majority of players who had complaints about staff never went to the Delerak level of 'troublemaking'. So while he might be in a let bygones be bygones we both did wrong, that isn't the situation the majority of the disaffected player base was in.

I only really ever experienced Malifax as Sinjinn who I actually liked in my early time on Armageddon. It wasn't until much later that the city elf that wielded power to meddle with Noble Houses rubbed me the wrong way. It wasn't that it happened it's that it continued for so long and despite his missteps he never seemed to get a true punishment. Also he got the most dubious rez I had ever seen. That being said, I'm not sure I would mark him as a bad -person- even if he did call me a creature of low cunning.
He is at the very least a compelling writer and has the confidence to lead a 'plot' or player project. I didn't know at the time he was former staff.

Only qwerty could take jcarter and myself defending big wang RP for Shalnoosh and turn it into a criticism of that same staffer, in the same thread, mid-conversation. Adjusted: ... in two threads, mid-conversation.

I might argue whether subguilds are added content or just nerfing content because it's a simple change of what table it exists in guild or subguild. Then copy it 2 times (or whatever) and limit the spell list.
But that being said Drovians are cool and I am glad they and Nilazi are back into the 'general' rotation that is accessible by karma. Returning content is always good imo.

Shalnoosh is a staffer not a player.
You can be weirded out by someone who did something to someone else even if both parties consent.
Even though I'll defend anyone's right to have a big wang and penetrate people with it. Let's not go talking madness Qwerty. For example did the staff really have issues with what people were doing on a different part of the internet not owned by them? You see how phrasing something a certain way portrays it insincerely?

If someone wants the baseball bat D on an RP game it is their God given right to play out that fantasy until the other party withdrawls consent. Good day sir!

The last I knew Shalnoosh is Malifex who is a man.

The only reason I say you shouldn't multiplay on Armageddon is that it's a staff rule. This thread discusses ways to do it, acknowledges it's cheating and says some of the reasons you might do it. Off-peak, no sparring partner, want some of that hunting life but don't want to lose your RPing character. All the reasons you might choose to cheat in favor of multiplaying are probably reasons I would permit multiplaying except the whole sparring with yourself. As is common with any alt policy to have no crossover.
As for 'other games have it' I was actually using that as a comment that Armageddon could have an Alt Policy and be fine. You said you've experienced multiple OOC/IC crossover issues that you do not experience on other games ergo the playerbase for Armageddon probably shouldn't be trusted with -more- opportunity for OOC/IC cross over between multiple characters. Fair enough. I do not think it'll be that big of an issue. That being said I have not played Armageddon since Tuluk closed or thereabouts. Maybe the playerbase has gone completely to the dogs, I would probably still argue it's lack of staff enforcement of cheesy ooc/ic issues than anything else that causes it.
TLDR - We agree on do not multiplay. I actually do not think there is a reason to disallow multiplay but I do think staff have a right to decide.

That's easy staff do not need PCs when they can play any NPC they want on the understanding that narratives are for PCs and NPCs can be awe-inspiring but ultimately serve the player narrative. Besides one of the most common defenses for staff having a PC is that they treat it like an NPC anyway so make the jump to just straight actual NPCs.
