Report 1019

Report #1019
Skillset: Skill: Varies
 Org: Pyromancers Status: Rejected Jan 2013
Furies' Decision:
Rejected. Illuminati get insanity resistance from Paradigmatics and the whole
city via the construct, so we do not want to change anything about that at this
time. We do not believe the plague is a large enough issue to necessitate an in-
house cure, and that Healing from other communities is acceptable.
Problem: Currently, Gaudiguch is compromised by a few mechanics that other
organizations either have a method to cope with or have outright immunity to.
Primarily, the plague spread by raising Muud cannot be dealt with by Gaudiguch,
having neither access to healers or the immunity the undead have. Secondarily,
while Gaudiguch has resistance to insanity accrual, the city likewise does not
have a way to actually remove it from its populace without healers or DARKCHANT
TRUTH available. The amount of resistance available becomes useless when the
threshold for capability is breached since Gaudiguch would be stuck with
insanity with no way to deal with it (questionable given the insanity-focus of
the Illuminati and Templars), while the other organizations can just shift it
around or outright remove it.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Give a Gaudiguchian guild a method to remove the
 plague from members of its populace, whether it be a
 new skill in Pyromancy that burns out the ailment or
 an addition to an existing skill (like making RAISE
 STAFF become targetable and effective for use on the
 plague).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Give Paradigmatics a method to cure or redistribute
 insanity in a method that would bring parity to the
 organizations.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Alter or add onto one of the Gaudiguchian constructs
 that would provide a solution to one or both problems
 outlined above. Whether it be the Sacred Pyramid that
 would purge the ailments out with flames, or the
 Enigmatic Pyramid that raises awareness past
 suffering in some form of enlightenment.

I firmly support any of these solutions with a preference for 1 and 2 together,
rather than 3.

Support solution 1. Solution 2 is ok -only- if the paradigmatics version is
noticably inferior to the one in healing. Otherwise you would be getting passive
resistance and an active cure which would put you ahead of the curve, not even
it out.

Solution 1 and 2 together
---[Celina on 1/11 @ 01:46 writes]:
Support solution 1. 2 has the possibility of surpassing other orgs in terms of
how well they handle insanity rather than making the orgs equitable, which isn't
fair (other than mag).

I would favour solution 1

Sol 1 seems fine.

Solution 1 is good to me, I do agree with Celina's concern though as far as 2 is
concerned.
