rearrangerHey all!
There's been some discussion about the consequences for murder, etc. Right now, a character suffers the pain of the victim, loses their powers, and then post-counselor visit loses one memory. But since it came up, I though it was worth revisiting since I still realize this doesn't feel like much of a consolation and unfortunately we can't have a 10 body pile up in which we all just keep killing each other (probably.)
I've also had it suggested by a couple people that they'd like a scapegoat mechanic - i.e. if a person is "caught" that didn't commit the crime, they can be subjected to murder consequences. This would be opt in and players would have no obligation.
Finally, I'm also looking at incentive to actually solve the murders since right now it's just for the deed well done. I've seen merit points and small items suggested as rewards, but I'd love to hear thoughts on this one since I've been struggling with it a bit.
So, I was hoping I could get some thoughts, ideas, etc, on how people feel about it and what they might like to see! I've got my own idea that I'll drop in the comments.
