Vote: Player Killing

Due to the MUD likely being rather small, I will vote for ALWAYS simply because if it gets out of hand it will generally be easy to solve the dispute. --Ashsflames 23:25, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

ALWAYS-5, levels provide large stat boosts, this way you couldn't have people one-hit-killing eachother. -Rosque

ALWAYS-5, if death is relatively painless, NEVER if permadeath :V --Driblis 00:47, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Vote: Player Death and Penalties

I'd like to see how the ASTRAL idea works, it would promote teamwork and make the inevitable healer-player(s) a valuable friend to have. If we can though, I'd like to see a combination of ASTRAL and EXPERIENCE, but EXPERIENCE needs to be changed. From playing TGMUD, losing 100 exp per level is severely detrimental at any level, and I propose that it be lowered to 50 (or perhaps 25 if we want to be nicer) through use of the expression @x1*50 (or @x1*25). My vote goes to ASTRAL, @x1*50/@x1*25. --Ashsflames 23:25, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

1. That way bodies will be left to resurrect if need be, and practically no experience loss to worry about, especially because dying once often leads to dying multiple times in a row. -Rosque

Vote: Punishment for Fleeing Battle

NO PENALTY, hands-down. Fleeing is a tactical maneuver, we should never be punished for it. --Ashsflames 23:25, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

NO PENALTY. -Rosque

NO PENALTY. I don't think there's going to be any disagreement on this one. --Durandal 00:46, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Vote: Playerbody Looting

In the interest of fun and fairness, I have to vote SELFONLY. Either of the others are likely a bad choice, especially if we get a high-levelled character picking on all the lower-levelled characters and stealing all their stuff. --Ashsflames 23:25, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Until more details are hammered down for items, SELFONLY. Even afterwards it may prove to be the best option. -Rosque

Vote: Injury and Limb Severing

Very much reduced, majority of severing should be from skills designed to do so. Modest threshold to prevent limb loss from inconsequential enemies, large number of hit points lost to remove a limb, low level to start losing limbs, but it should definitely not be too much of a hassle to restore them. -Rosque

40,60,15,100,4,8,15,20,100. Once you get down to 60% health, if you take a blow that deals damage equal to 15% of your total health, then there is a 40% chance you will lose a limb. And it doesn't apply until you reach level 8, so newbs don't have to worry about it. --Durandal 00:46, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Vote: Show Damage

NO, it's more interesting and immersive if we can't tell numerically how much health the enemy has remaining. Over time, we'll learn how much damage enemies can take simply by fighting them. --Ashsflames 23:25, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

NO, definitely not. It kills the mood and makes things seem less organic. -Rosque

No. --Durandal 00:46, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Vote: Class System

SUB I found was very fun back in TGMUD, but if we build a new class system I would also vote MULTI. Weird character builds make for fun challenges. --Ashsflames 23:25, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Difficult to decide right now, some more class brainstorming would help. -Rosque
