    What, anyone can remove a pathway as long as they can unravel in Planar


    and they can see the pathway

    This has always been the case
    Hasn't it always been the case as long as they can unravel in Planar and can "naturally" see the pathway? As in... no boots of the wanderer unraveling. At least that's the reports I'm hearing from other sources.

    I don't get why the planar skill is being used for this, either. What's next, if we get two people with boots and planar skill on the same terrain and they try to gateweave, they'll make a mystic pathway? Never mind that the message when you start to unravel it clearly states unraveling planar gate, not mystic pathway.

    Arcanis, if it's you unraveling pathways, please stop.

    Sincerely, the rest of the Basin.

    Dearest @Maligorn,

    I was handed your letter of request this morning as I enjoyed my crumpet and tea. I do apologize for the inconvenience my shenanigans seems to have caused you, and hope you understand that they in no way were meant to draw your ire. As to the case in hand, I must regretfully decline as it seems said pathways gave some leeway to certain individuals that I simply saw as an inconvenience to my work. Not to mention the agitation I received when I learned novices from that miserable Serenwilde forest were being purposely sent to these trills camps, rather than hunt in more appropriate locations (even after several warnings on my part im afraid).

    Never fear however, as im sure after all this tentacular ascension business is over, that I will allow some leeway on the matter. I'll have my people contact your people.

    Sincerely;
    Arcanis

  • Whoa bro, the condescension is real even if "meant to be" satirical. I don't give a fuck if you unravel pathways; I don't use them. Everyone else seems to like them though.

    People with boots of the wanderer have always been able to unravel, the boots pretty much replicate the skill. This has always been the case as far as I'm aware. I don't know what your other sources are, but people in general haven't gone out of their way to remove pathways at large to this extent before, so it really hasn't been an issue. 

    I can't comment on Planar or it's use. I'm just saying this is the way it's always been, maybe it's some bug that's just been assumed to be a feature, but I'd prefer more access to removing them, than adding them (though I wouldn't mind more people adding them, if I could, I'd help @Enyalida replace them all too). This cuts down on people slipping in pathways where they shouldn't be, since removing them is much easier.

    I do hope that means you plan to go eco and reforge them later? No? Alright then... we shall have to look into solving this particular conundrum in another fashion.

    It's my fault for telling her the wrong thing... It used to be that people could unravel without being able to see them, they just had to know a pathway was there. This was changed to be just people who could see them, which at the time was only ecologists and trackers (pre-boots).

    I do dislike that the boots allow you to destroy them. They don't need this functionality to be an outstanding artifact.

  • Maybe everyone is waiting for Mag to get off its pretty pink cushion and punish the perpetrator. Maybe everyone expects Magnagora to be more aware of its citizens' activities.

    Maybe you're actually responsible for your own people? What a strange thought.

    So, I did actually ask Arcanis to help find ecologists to replace the paths, during the Rikenfriez revolt. His response was something like, "let me think about it...no."

    I've also been trying to hunt down ecologists for the past few days... the frustration of failing to find any, or the sentiment among those that are found that he will only do it again, is what burbles out in forums-venting.

    HELP MAGNAGORA

    HELP GEOMANCERS

    Oh, Arcanis isn't listed as a leader in either of those things. Maybe MAYBE MAYBE the leaders of Magnagora is interested in signing a treaty preventing Arc from destroying pathways as long as the rifts on Earth/Nil/Crystal Meadows isn't destroyed.

    But of course, no one will ever know that because no one has even attempted once.

    (And I doubt they would, because your bitter salty tears are so delicious).

    Of course, to approach anything IC-ly... one does need to be aware of the perpetrator IC-ly. Bit of a tricky situation, see. But hey, if you want to RP based on OOC information... like you do.... go on ahead. I won't.

  • Actually, I doubt that since Marcella and Arcanis are buddy-buddies. Maybe, maybe people actually expect Magnagora to be a big boy and take care of its own internal problems. Argument's going in circles now, so I'll leave you with that charming clarinet boy.

    Maybe, just maybe, you can approach the matter ICly with some politeness and tactfulness instead of the consistent whining on the forums over this topic. I was Warlord for 8 real life months and I never heard a single peep.

    Nothing will ever change if those that are impacted by it don't do anything about it.

    The only reason to even bring this topic to the forums multiple times is to either get OOC public support to pressure someone to do what you believe is "right," or, because you sense public perception is against it and you are farming for agrees/likes, which seems almost as stupid as bitching about a topic for over 6 months and not doing a single thing about it.


    Because it's possible to find out IC who is unravelling stuff if they don't feel like declaring it.

    Your staunch defense of him does indicate that it is such, but I'm not going to bring this OOC information IC. Sorry not sorry)

    Oh no! Don't issue me again Elanorwen, I mentioned CloudCoils. (which was dismissed, so no, I never take OOC info ICly).

    Maligorn: Yes, I got replaced because I don't take responsibility. Except for the fact that I have thrown out Munsia. That I threw out Marcella for calling out Morgfyre as a useless piece of shit. As I mentioned to Elanorwen, I don't take information ICly, not every city leader knows everything their citizens do, if provided with information, I have handled everything. I even unenemied those that were enemied under false pretenses or enemied temporarily. So, once again, find an avenue ICly.

    I just love when people try to not have to do work because they grovel for public support to take care of their problems. Quick, call the Forum police! We have negative opinions about someone on Lusternia! Quick, keep bitching about something that could be handled ICly and get tweets closed again! Yay!

    It's not like somebody offered help in managing the problem the literal only way it's possible to solve it entirely IC, or something.

    I have no idea what pathways are, I have never needed to use them. So, I have no idea if Arcanis is doing it, but he has been bitched about for 6 months about him doing it, so I assumed someone had caught him ICly. Also, Talan did mention a few posts before yours Maligorn that she spoke to him ICly.

    So yeah, let's close down tweets because a bunch of people have their underpants in a wad and are trying to OOCly dictate someone's ICs actions when they havent even attempted to solve it ICly (except Talan, who half assed it).
