Hello, over the past couple of events the plot team and marshals have had complaints of players calling excessive defenses or taking what has been reported to be large amounts of damage. None of us are perfect, but we would like to tighten this aspect of Alliance combat up in our chapter. With that in mind, we will be asking marshals to spot check battle boards prior to mods and watch people’s defenses/armor & body a little more carefully. If as a player you see something that seems amiss from an NPC or PC, please notify a marshal as soon as possible. Almost all of the time it is either a situation where the card was played correctly, or someone made an honest mistake, but we’d like to verify it after the combat is done.
There are two other issues that have come up, one is that as a chapter we’re being a bit lax on saying our full incant and then throwing our packets, the other is that we’ve been quite lax on the 2 second requirement for calling defenses. Especially as we have the opportunity to showcase our chapter Alliance-wide coming up, we should get nice and tight on these issues. If you really can’t come up with your defense in about 2 seconds, just go ahead and take the effect.
Ultimately we’re all here to play together, and we’re all having fun as is, but we are a national organization with an upcoming national showcase. Let’s show all of Alliance not only how immersive we are, but how technically proficient to go alongside that!
