Maybe I'll play Cyberpunk 2077 some more. My brother maxed out my character a year and a half ago. Haven't seen him since. Miss him.

”Mr. Dawson, why don't you have a seat?” He said, gesturing to the brown leather chair he had his hand resting on.

The men behind Adel stepped forward. They each placed a firm hand around his upper arms, half-guiding, half-dragging Adel to the seat. If Adel struggled in any way, their plan would have been quickly subduing him with a blow to the cheek - but besides tensing up, the man didn’t fight.

They shoved Adel into the seat, twisting it so it faced the mirror. Vincent still had that smirk on his face as he picked up a bowl of shaving cream and an applicator brush on the counter.

Slowly, methodically, Vincent applied shaving cream to Adel's face while speaking.

”Now, my men tell me that you and your spies have decided to make it your home in White Pine. Not that I care too much about that.”

He set down the bowl, picking out a barber's blade instead. He opened it, the fresh gleam of a clean, sharp blade within.

“What I really care about, though, is who set you up to do this.”

The blade pressed against Adel's neck as Vincent leaned over, staring at the man through the mirror.

”So, what'll it be, Canary? You gonna sing?”

"A million times I have done this charade. The moment people figure it out, I get the boot." she thought.

"But don't you want to see the fear in their eyes when they see who you really are...? Don't you want dominion of this place, just like how you were unchallenged in Vaal Kastrix?" said the Voice.

Ciara scoffed, immediately thinking of Gulliver and Valen. "I'd love to wipe the smirk off their faces."

"It starts by building a rumor. A rumor of power. This could be the place to start."

She took a deep breath, narrowing her eyes resolutely at the Undermage. "Head Advisor, with all due respect, you have no right to ask me about my intentions. If you want answers..."

She stood from her seat, rising to her full height.

"You'll have to duel me for them."

Not quite. ^^; the Personnel needed is a strict number, you need to be able to pay the fee. However, if you want to roleplay the number of personnel to be a little higher than what you actually have for the fight, I'd be okay with that.

Does that make sense?
You can wiggle with the Personnel number a bit, sure. However, I will be here to keep the field as even as possible. This is why I've given Glyde a gatling gun and have thrown bombs as Asterion.
You could do that. You could, in all fairness, jokes aside. :>

Buuuuuuut I'd probably stop you at ten, maybe fifteen. ^^;;;; Then implement that you need so much Personnel to create more NPCs. But we haven't even reached that point. Right now I encourage NPC sheets. :D
@ERode Noted, I've updated it. :>

@Little Bird The Personnel gives me an idea how big your mafia is. You could have no wealth, but without a personnel block, you could send two hundred mafiosos to a fight. ^^; I mean, I doubt anyone would do that, but it's a safety measure and helps with realism, I think.



I skimmed to the bottom, saw Valencia was mentioned, approved, liked, then went back and read the whole thing in depth. ^^
Updating tomorrow, ideally. :>
Personally I think the system is more meant to facilitate the PvP aspect of the story. It shouldn't be too complex of a system because the story comes first, the capturing ground is just a fun bonus. Maybe Estylwen feels different but I think its fine enough. Though of course if it gets tweaked that's fine too.


The Wealth/Personnel thing is likely to assist in dictating the pacing of people's expansion and PvP hijinks, while the RP aspect exists in part to ensure that Wealth and Personnel alone does not become the sole reason why you're 'winning' the RP.


Exactly that. You're picking up exactly what I'm laying down.

In the past, I've run a mafia in a roleplay where, if I wanted to do anything, I would just magically create the money necessary for it out of thin air. I don't think that's the most realistic. But I also wanted to keep the roleplay aspect. So the Wealth and Personnel is more like like a physical wallet. I think it's more fun to earn, steal, and spend in a way that actually affects the roleplay world around you. I don't want to it interfere with roleplay, rather enhance it. If that makes sense. :>
Exactly, exactly. Vincent could pay the fee to attack Jeweled Bank, for example. Antonia could simply defend Jeweled Bank for free, or pay the fee to attack Laterdale in response. That would make the war be fought on two fronts, if that makes sense.
Good question. There is no price difference between attacking a player-owned district and an empty district. The price would be tied to what tier the district is, Poor, Comfortable, Industrial, Rich, or Aristocrat.

x To attempt to claim a Poor district = 2 Wealth, 4 Personnel
x To attempt to claim a Comfortable district = 5 Wealth, 10 Personnel
x To attempt to claim an Industrial district = 7 Wealth, 14 Personnel
x To attempt to claim a Rich district = 10 Wealth, 20 Personnel
x To attempt to claim an Aristocrat district = 20 Wealth, 40 Personnel


The one defending from the attack does not pay a fee. The only fee is the 'attempt' that the attacker has to pay. Of course, you're paying for the attempt, and it doesn't guarantee that you'll win.

Does that answer it alright?
