[OOC] Nocturnal Memoirs: An Urban-Fantasy Mafia Epic

@Little Bird

They definitely could do a deal or whatever. Asterion isn't against deals and I imagine he's pretty neutral for the most part with people and can be forgiving (depending on past situations too).

<Snipped quote by ERode>

I'd imagine Asterion need to resolve the fact a furry is throwing bombs around his district first? Not being able to expand while being attacked feels like a valid balancing mechanic.

@Little Bird

He definitely needs to focus on the cartoon character that is throwing bombs all over his city before he even thinks about what he wants to do with 93rd and how he wants to do it. lol

Asterion will not be chasing after 93rd until he gets Hailey out of his area.

I like how the only 2 to start an invasion so far are both police...

Maybe us mafia should unite and topple the system first XD

[ERode]

Sounds like you oughta be the change you wish to see in the world.

@evierose

Maybe we should. All the mafia bosses seem chill and like they just wanna do good for their regions. The police being the problem in this city. We should take them out. :P

[Little Bird]

I've yet to invade anyone. So...

[ERode]

Yeah, I'm sure your nuclear program military goodies are just for self-defense. ;3

Dom't you think that kind of makes the wealth and personnel values a bit pointless though? Feels like that system could use some expansion.

@Little Bird

Personally I think the system is more meant to facilitate the PvP aspect of the story. It shouldn't be too complex of a system because the story comes first, the capturing ground is just a fun bonus. Maybe Estylwen feels different but I think its fine enough. Though of course if it gets tweaked that's fine too.

[ERode]

The Wealth/Personnel thing is likely to assist in dictating the pacing of people's expansion and PvP hijinks, while the RP aspect exists in part to ensure that Wealth and Personnel alone does not become the sole reason why you're 'winning' the RP.

@ERode

Exactly that. You're picking up exactly what I'm laying down.

In the past, I've run a mafia in a roleplay where, if I wanted to do anything, I would just magically create the money necessary for it out of thin air. I don't think that's the most realistic. But I also wanted to keep the roleplay aspect. So the Wealth and Personnel is more like like a physical wallet. I think it's more fun to earn, steal, and spend in a way that actually affects the roleplay world around you. I don't want to it interfere with roleplay, rather enhance it. If that makes sense. :>

[ERode]

Oh yeah, you updating today, Est?

[Estylwen]

Updating tomorrow, ideally. :>
