RE: CoA Advertisement Flyer: Final Version [DMs, Players]
Word of mouth, in my short renaissance with the server I have encouraged 2 other decent players to join from my wider gaming group. They loved it but got a bit lost (despite any advice I offered) with the clique thing.
I guess most people are holding off for V5. Even so you should always take any measures to spread the word/advertise. This is coming from a person who makes their living in the advertising industry.
No the server isn't perfect, but its pretty unique and offers something unparalleled to those of a similar mind to the player set.

RE: Voice Recognition
Should "Disguises" be recognized by other players even though they are not supported by the rules?
Yes, I think so as a OOC Courtesy. If a player is a wanted criminal or on the flip side a player trying to infiltrate a faction, then I think the game benefits from being able to sneak into a location under the noses of other hostile PCs. Of course this opens a can of worms, where you could argue that the disguise fails due to certain characteristics of the character.
Just plopping a helm on shouldnt really be expected to be the catch all disguise that it sometimes is. Change your clothes, Change your Description, Use emotes An old man shuffles past bent and leaning on his stick All these things can convey both IC and OOC that you are in disguise. I would of thought that being able to use a good disguise would also require some ranks in performance or bluff.
On the other side, a PC that knows the disguised character well, should have a chance of seeing through it, provided they have good spotting skills. I guess you could both try rolling bluff/Perform against their Spot skill, with the higher player succeeding.
The thing is though its impossible to enforce, another player might just refuse to play along, which means you're SOL.
I agree with O'louth in so much as if you give other players a good time they are more likely to respect your actions and play along. Getting robbed by another PC is a frustrating experience, even if you just take their gold that can seriously screw up their day. The OOC time that char has put into earning (or stealing) that currency is something that should be respected regardless of how "Evil" your IG persona is.
Doing stuff like sending them a Tell "I'm only taking half your gold as OOC courtesy, pretend you had it hidden in your boot". Means that the next time that victim sees you in a pot helm, they might be more interested in playing dumb.

RE: How coa became dependent on haks
As someone totally new (well i played a little about 5 years ago) it took me under 10 mins to get sorted to play with all the Hacks enabled. I think COA looks all the better for it too.
As an aside, can anyone recommend other Haks to make it even better?

RE: Tynor goes to the library and researches contracts
Tynor reflects on a time when contracts had to be ratified. But he is pleased by the response he got from the passing arbiter.

Tynor goes to the library and researches contracts
Tynor goes again to the legal section. He pats the huge tome of law he missed somehow the last time on the laws of Arabel, but asks the librarian where he might find information on the parties that accept and enforce legally binding contracts.
