Rules Discussions

Senate Voting meeting make-up session.

feeds@yuku.com (Ranger Vermin) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 17:30:26 GMT

Under my jurisdiction to set the agenda for senate and given what is in my opinion the necessity of allowing a previously scheduled vote to take place before proposals are forgotten about entirely, I intend to hold a voting meeting at the next event which will take place January 3rd at the Burtonsville site. However, according to the bylaws any measures that pass cannot...

Proposal for the Enacting of 2009 Proposals passed at the first Senate meeting 2010

feeds@yuku.com (Sir Bendore) — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 12:43:54 GMT

I propose that the proposals that were to be voted on Dec. 20, 2009 go into effect immediatly upon passage of the Senate and EB due to failure to vote due to inclement weather.

I am also curious to know if a proposal can pass EB prior to the Senate in case the 2009 EB wants to vote on existing proposals.

Druid Armor Restrictions

feeds@yuku.com (Adrian) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 03:18:55 GMT

I have some armor I will be receiving from a friend tomorrow and I was wondering as to what I cannot have on it. I had him remove the steel splints so that I can use it as Hide (if it passes the thickness, as it is in question) but I still have rivets in it; will that be a problem? I know it says only leather, but is a few extra rivets a problem? Its not enough to be confused with studded leather, its maybe a rivet every 4-6...

tape on striking surface

Can someone post the rules about not having tape on the striking surface of a weapon as I cant find it. kthx

Question about holy symbols

feeds@yuku.com (Phantasm74) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 09:57:01 GMT
This will probably be a simple answer, but I'm thinking of playing a cleric and I need a holy symbol. Can anything be a holy symbol or should it conform to certain dimensions or look a certain way? I've got some costume jewelry that should work, but I didn't want to show up Sunday and be told that it doesn't count. The rules aren't specific on this at all so I thought I would ask the community.

Hey Dritz! Presidential Rulings Proposal

feeds@yuku.com (Kesrya) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:13:22 GMT
Hey Dritz -- the proposal for recording presidential rulings is something that a few of us have kicked around in Elidor for quite awhile now. I would like to offer the following additions to your proposal. The intent is to increase communication of rulings to the realm. I feel its not enough just to require that rulings be entered (or not) into the rule book via Senate by the end of the year. This does not solve the problem that occurs during the entire year a President is in office that...

Hey Bendore: Nobility Proposal

feeds@yuku.com (Kesrya) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:29:47 GMT
I have a migraine and therefore no interest in reading through the 4 pages of discussion on this, so excuse me if you have already addressed these points ... but since I have thought of them as I am reading the final version of the Nobility proposal, I'm guessing you haven't. I would bring these issues up at the Senate discussion meeting, but I thought I'd give you a chance to consider them prior to that to see if you want to make an amendments.

Here is what I wrote to...

Hey Cormac

feeds@yuku.com (Kesrya) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:44:08 GMT
Question about Senate -- next senate meeting is the triumvirate *and* final discussion meeting. Then the senate after that is voting. I know that no new proposals can be offered at this time. Are we permitted to offer amendments to current proposals at the discussion meeting? Or are they locked in stone at this point?

White axes for druids

feeds@yuku.com (Lord Vodun) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:48:28 GMT
Looking through the latest edition of the Darkon rulebook, I noticed soemthing I thought odd, which was that druids were not permitted use of white axes, and upon looking through my earliest rulebook (the green one from last year) I realized that apparently druids never HAVE been able to wield white axes.

I want to put forth a proposal allowing druids use of white axes, simply because there is no real reason to limit off the weapon from the class, from a balance and rules...

Plate armor question...

feeds@yuku.com (Keth Helmcleaver) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:22:33 GMT
In the description for plate armor it says that brass can be used to make it. Is that allowed or is it a typo?

Black Egg (Thief or Assassin Ability)

feeds@yuku.com (Keth Helmcleaver) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:56:35 GMT
I know I'm a bit new to real darkon with only four events, but I've been reading the rules and doing mock darkon events with 20 or more people for over two years. After watching an episode of Deadliest Warrior with spartan vs. ninja I believe. I was wondering if it would be possible to implement black eggs?

Black eggs were basically eggs that were hollowed and filled with either concentrated pepper or ground glass though I don't doubt other horrendous concoctions were...

A small issue...

feeds@yuku.com (Lord Vodun) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:25:38 GMT
I'm not trying to antagonize anyone here, but where exactly is it stated in the rulebook that the heads of daggers must be 3 inches wide? There are some marshalls who have failed mine for being under three inches, using the new white boards for quick reference, was there a recent safety ruling that I have missed?

Fighter

feeds@yuku.com (GoreHelscream) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 04:28:55 GMT
I was thinking of trying to simplify Fighters ability to repair armor/shields as just a mending spell. Pretty simple. I dont see why a druid/mage/WM would know how to repair a gate/siege weapon more than fighter. Set a fighter up with spell points and people can just imagine them as "supplies". And for that matter why wouldnt a fighter be able to fix a weapon that would be broken from lets say a warp wood? Just some thoughts at 4:30 am.

New Proposal

feeds@yuku.com (Cog the Scourge) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:02:25 GMT
I want to propose a proposal, proposing that all proposed proposals proposing proposition must be preproposed to the P.P.P.P. before propositions of proposed proposals become proposed.

Proposal for 25th level casters

feeds@yuku.com (Sir Martin) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:49:07 GMT
The idea of high level perks has been kicking around for years. The hardest classes to come up with stuff for and not have it be sick were the casters. I have an idea for this that I would like some feedback on. I am not married to the idea or anything, but wanted to throw it out there and see how it was received. If enough people like it, I might propose it.

Proposal to ban giant growth at reunion

feeds@yuku.com (Londo the Goblin) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 22:46:54 GMT

The proposal is pretty simple. I want to ban giant growth at reunion. Walking around on my knees at reunion is a safety issue with the rocky ground. During the large fight at the bottom of the hill there was a giant and people were crawling on their knees around briars and a huge sinkhole. I'm usually not the guy that starts the "I don't want to have fun" arguments but after the last 3 campouts this year I really feel reunion is not a safe place to be crawling around. I...
