[the homestuck man himself]

I finally decided to make forum account due to this. I wanted to toss my hat into the ring that is this discussion.

As someone who has had a character in Beggar's Hole for a decent time now, I wanted to say as a general statement that it has developed into something more than just what most would call ICly as 'bandits', it has become something akin to a community, a faction- A small nation, even. Each and every single player in this place has been working towards making it something greater.

I do believe that, as OP and some others have expressed, there needs to be some changes here and there to what has currently been put into place in regards to conflict as a whole. I, myself, feel that the current set of rules do not fit the current scale of conflict Korvara can bring to the table mechanically, either due to how the system was made in a time where Sigrogana reigned as the only continent.

I had an idea recently that, if the rules were to be changed in some way shape or form in the future(or now), that we could do it as a group. A community effort to discuss each and every single aspect of the rules in discord, similar to an actual, vocal forum you would have in the real world. The features provided by discord make this a way easier task and from experience, having the community decide on what they will go through cuts down a lot when it comes to disagreements. But again, this is just a little idea.

As a quick side note before I finish, in regards to the 'eye spies', I would like to mention that I do not enjoy the concept of a paid item that is supposedly cosmetic to be used as a way to gather information on a ICly level, mainly with how it works with the enviroment around it. While yes we can roleplay destroying them and what not, this could be simply solved by not allowing them at all and rather, utilize the player's character that would've otherwise been miles upon miles away, unable to be tracked down properly as they can quite simply unsummon their pet in a moment's notice. But that's just me.

In the end, I hope that this forum not only comes as a way to better the conflict experience in Korvara as a whole, but as a result, incetivize more unique approaches to the world that has been given to us, be it as the creation of factions outside of the currently established ones, or simply as a group that aims to spice up the lives of the many players currently roaming the land.

That's all.
