Didn't find a log section, so feel free to move this if I'm just totally blind:
(Magnagora): A village woman says, "Someone help me! Please!"
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "Uh."
(Magnagora): Lavinya says, "Disregard this."
(Magnagora): Marcella (from the Astral Plane) says, "Which village is that?"
(Magnagora): Marcella (from the Astral Plane) says, "Ah."
(Magnagora): Lavinya says, "It will be over in a moment."
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "Why."
(Magnagora): A village man says, "I'm in trouble here at Stewarts Road!"
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "Why'd you kill it."
(Magnagora): Marcella (from the Astral Plane) says, "What are you people doing."
(Magnagora): A village man says, "I'm in trouble here at Stewarts Road!"
(Magnagora): You say, "Sounds like we are killing loyal villagers to make a coat."
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "Oh."
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "I approve."
(Magnagora): Mirazel says, "And done."
(Magnagora): You say, "I do not."
(Magnagora): You say, "That is despicable."
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "We've killed citizens for less."
(Magnagora): You say, "Would we kill Morgfyre's gentlemen to make a hat?"
(Magnagora): Lavinya says, "And I allowed it. You may of course take your complaint to the Warlord, Supervisor."
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "I would."
(Magnagora): You say, "Or the Demon Lords for a cute jacket?"
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "Sounds like a good idea to me."
(Magnagora): Marcella (from the Astral Plane) says, "Maybe some demons."
(Magnagora): Ilthilior (from the Astral Plane) says, "That would have to be one badass jacket."
(Magnagora): You say, "Sure would, all the more reason to get on it."
(Magnagora): Ilthilior (from the Astral Plane) says, "Though, I don't really approve of it."
(Magnagora): Silvanus says, "Comparing a Demon Lord to a pathetic human from Stewartsville that'll switch his allegiance as soon as he can is the true crime her."
(Magnagora): Silvanus says, "Here."
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "I have low standards."
(Magnagora): You say, "A pathetic human from stewartsville who has pledged their life as a cog of the engine?"
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "Did they actually."
(Magnagora): Ilthilior (from the Astral Plane) says, "Totally not worth a jacket, honestly."
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "Or did their leaders."
(Magnagora): Mirazel (from the Aetherways) says, "Villagers in general change their loyalties like some change clothes with the seasons."
(Magnagora): Silvanus says, "We have seen them switch their allegiances often in the past, they only follow us because we demaned their surrender."
(Magnagora): You say, "So I may kill our villagers with impunity??"
(Magnagora): Silvanus says, "When you convince villagers, have you noticed what you are telling them?"
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "Sure."
(Magnagora): Silvanus says, "Tales of terror to shock those who reject us."
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "Kill citizens too."
(Magnagora): Silvanus says, "Promises of power to inspire awe."
(Magnagora): Lavinya says, "You can ask permission of the council, just as Mirazel did."
(Magnagora): You say, "Tales of terror lose their potency when you kill everyone anyways."
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "I disagree."
(Magnagora): Mirazel (from the Aetherways) says, "It is good to remind those who fear you, why they should fear you."
(Magnagora): Lavinya says, "I imagine it gives the tales some credence."
(Magnagora): Munsia (from the Astral Plane) says, "I like to believe I'm a horror story for little children in Celest."
(Magnagora): Silvanus says, "I suppose we could kidnap them and send them to the i'Xiia madhouse. That might help."
(Magnagora): Marcella (from the Astral Plane) says, "But would they get along with the mugwump ethnicity there?"
(Magnagora): Silvanus says, "Does anyone get along with the i'Xiia?"
(Magnagora): Marcella (from the Astral Plane) says, "N'Lochli."
(Magnagora): Silvanus says, "Then why are you asking me that question, you should just answer it."
2014/05/23 03:48:21 - Mirazel has been declared a formal enemy for slaying a village woman.
2014/05/23 03:49:48 - Lavinya declared that Mirazel is no longer an enemy. Reason: Fashion is important.
You read what is written on creamy light beige stationery:
Warlord,
It is with extreme regret that I burden you, so shortly after my return
to wakefulness, with such trouble. I wish to bring to your attention the
inappropriate conduct, as defined in CHELP LAWSI, A III Inappropriate
Conduct. As an action that a reasonable person would consider likely to
erode confidence in the integrity of the government of Magnagora, but
which does not violate any identifiable directive, rule, statute, or
other standard applicable to Magnagora. Mirazel, with the aide of
Lavinya slew loyal subjects of the Engine, protected residents of our
loyal village Stewartsville for no reason other than personal gain.
It is my argument that the destruction of those who swear the allegiance
to the Engine without cause damages the integrity of the Engine and our
ability to promise protection in the future to those who would
capitulate to our demands. It damages our ability to promise protection
to our loyal citizens, as it is obvious that we would turn on any of our
subjects if we suddenly fancied their skin for a suit. These are not
merian or elves, we speak of, but human villagers under our protection,
working for our benefit.
While I hold great respect for the parties involved, I feel that it is
extremely inappropriate for such conduct to go without notice or
reprimand, as it is harmful to the reputation, and thus the power, of
the Engine as a whole.
With Deepest Regrets,
Shikha

However, might consider changing government style to Despotic Conquest, since Benign isn't really what I'd call this.

The amount of trolling on Mag CT is kind of depressing.
I would say it fits the modern Mag narrative to use and enslave villages, and murder them on occassion to scare them into fealty. I suppose the bigger question is should Mag RP be the stereotypical evil that it is.
The days of village consequences are gone. The admin tried it once with Stewarts and the affected players threw a massive fit. Since then, when players have followed suit and murdered villagers over and over, like we saw with Celest in Ankgrag, the village RP is just rewritten to suit the situation. It's just smoothed over with an event.
@Lavinya I'm not seeking forum or admin intervention with this post. I posted it because it made me LOL that this is apparently a thing now and nobody cares. Shikha sent a letter to Leo; in game resolution is being sought for this conflict. I also don't consider killing the villagers roleplay, but gaming mechanics. The only reason any real roleplay will actually come from this is because I decided Shikha kicking up some dust over the indiscriminate slaying of innocent villagers who had sworn fealty to the engine is absolutely what she would have done. Especially since the comms people were after could have been gotten elsewhere.
Edited to avoid double posting.
Well I'm not saying I it should or shouldn't be, or that every player RPs the same perspective of Mag. I'm merely saying that the posted discussion was very stereotypical "evil mag" kill them all style RP.
So to asnwer the question, yes. It is RP. The question I posed was, I think, what you're really asking. SHOULD that be Mag's RP?
To which I did not answer yes or no, so people can stop disagreeing with me.![:( :(](https://localforums.lusternia.com/resources/emoji/frowning.png)
@Turnus that's your opinion. What gets discussed here will have no bearing on how I play my character, and I trust Leo and Lavi not to metagame either.
The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!

Mentally I picture them as human, but that's mostly because of being human IRL I default to imagine everything that isn't stated as something else as human. Realistically, I would think they would be a random smattering of races, like the pilgrims, except there should totes be human pilgrims and there aren't.
