Embargoes

[Jinx]

embargos - both in RP and at the same time... killing RP. - yes

reminds me of the kusari legal codex. - when it was introduced, i mentioned that it might cause kusari to become a wasteland without much common roleplay. - common roleplay starts with regular traders.

since many profitable goods were point blank considered contraband and or required allowance from the KNF - the prediction was that people would simply ... trade elsewhere.

now - there are many opinions - some say kusari is dead and empty of "normal player frequency" others claim that its full of vibrant life.

for ME though it caused that i have pretty much avoided kusari. - while one might say that its no work to just read a few RP laws and then keep them in mind... it adds up. - rheinland has goods that are contraband ( but not listed as such in the item ID ) - liberty has some, bretonia has some, kusari has some. even pirates have some.

the result is - uncertainty. - the logical consequence is to avoid any confrontation if you wanne keep it simple.

embargos, not allowed goods that must not go to a certain direction make perfect sense in RP. - but can overcomplicate things very much. - the trader is here to relax - like every other person.

right now - to play disco properly with only like 5 different chars... you d need:

- a list of all outstanding bounties + their restrictions
- a list of every house and their forbidden goods
- a list of ZoIs
- a list of your own allowed and forbidden gear
- a list with the disco rules
- a much larger list with unwritten disco rules
- a list with RP laws that won t get you sanctioned, but still destroyed
- fraps video recording running
- chat timer turned on

thats quite a list of things you need - so ... things are a bit complicated.. and embargos add to it. does it kill roleplay? - hard to say...

for some, its even more intense the more exel sheets they need to consider - for others its too much. - so for some, the enviroment is richer. for others... its dead.
