<p>We are talking to Thod and an official response may or may not happen at a settlement level.

<p><i>Ryan was very, very clear from the beginning that he was going to referee the debate but he wasn't going to judge it. I dare anybody to find a quote to the contrary. It is up to the community to fight and settle disputes, it is up to GW to make sure it doesn't get toxic and to steer the punches "above the belt".</p>
<p>A precedent has been set. We will police ourselves and GW will step in only if we get out of hand or if somebody has flat out broken a rule (Pax did not). Bending rules, pushing fine lines and interpreting the gray areas is going to be up to us to police.</p>
<p>So, boys and girls, stop crying in your milk. Freedom isn't a bowl of ice cream. These tough and sometimes painful debates are the price of being given the power to set community standards amongst ourselves.

Either remove the others, or cover them with a server-wide NAP. If the 16 active settlements were fighting over only 50 towers instead of 300, you'd see a lot more engaging fights and a lot less afk capping.</p>

<p>Most cleric spells should have 10' range, within danger, not weaving through enemies to heal. The touch based cleric is not much fun in a game where tanks aren't even true tanks, they move around quite a bit. Throw in friendly fire and it's just brutal.</p>

All matter was once part of what we understand as a single point/unit/entity, and through rapid (Or not) expansion and change we define the changes as having been either further away from our present observations or closer to our own point of observational origin (Which is really itself an illusion owing to the fact that "Now" paradoxically has no frame of reference aside from a swelling mass us assigned units our scientists have invented).

Slavery doesn't have to be heinous, but could definitely have negative effects, such as the unrest Idea. It can be debated, but that is my thoughts on it.
It can NOT be debated. It is (insert string of swears) wrong. 100% Heinous. No arguments. But is it viewed as "Heinous" in Golarion? This isn't one worth fighting over Bludd.

<p>In Age of Conan your guild could actually "hold" a keep. The keep had siege windows and gave bonuses. It was a theme park with a single sand box element but that didn't make it sand box in any way, shape or form. AoC is theme park.</p>Bluddwolf wrote:Ryan Dancey wrote:@theStormWeaver - I think it's very hard to say it's in the middle between Pathfinder Online and WoW.

<p>We have gotten mixed signals throughout, which doesn't bother me we are crowdforging.
