Under Thiar, prices were lowered; under Rinz, prices are rising. Under Thiar, we were respected; under Rinz, we are called "freaks." Life was difficult back then – there was chaos after the war. But our Emperor, with his reliable mind, led the country. He didn't chase after luxury, he lived a simple life with us, wearing the same clothes throughout his life. He didn't build statues for himself, he didn't buy academies, he didn't hide money in Kammeria – he gave everything to Reim! He didn't act like a fool on stage when the Fatherland was in trouble, he took care of the country's affairs and restored order everywhere! Thiar saved all the children who were left without mothers. Today, the idol-manager "buys" unhappy children "for service." And then, in a drunken stupor, he boasts about his "new acquisition," about how he commits satanic deeds against the orphan. The authorities won't punish such people – they are all from the same deck. They have the rights of the "beautiful" and are protected by the palace walls. Under Thiar, everything that was sold benefited the country. Under Rinz, everything that is sold goes straight into someone's pocket, bypassing the treasury. Under Thiar, if you steal, you go to jail; if you are a traitor, you are eliminated! That's why the idolistic rabble hates him. Thiar left the country in a state that everyone envied! But it fell into the wrong hands – the hands of the viabushniks and idols! It doesn't take much intelligence to insult a dead man. They were ready to lick his boots when he was alive. His works are not being published; his enemies continue to scheme. They need to hide the truth about the genius from the youth.

Lock, you can build an Academy of Idols in Grisal. If necessary, we'll cut social programs, let the talentless poor die of starvation.

Instead, I’ll say that you are wrong because you are discriminating against attractive characters. That is, pumping up intelligence, getting fantastic bonuses to learning and, accordingly, to abilities for it, without any effort from the player, is normal and fair, against the background of those who did not pump it up and sit with zero points, or being a tournament brute with pumped-up strength, doing well in physical education, and getting a reward for it; but when a couple of autistic people, who pumped up completely useless attractiveness at the expense of themselves for role-playing, or spent money on it in the form of clothes, suddenly have the bonus removed towards the end of the game, then this is lookism, and who did you leave us with, Grandfather Thiary?
What does gameplay have to do with it if players who don’t like Rinze criticize the role-playing aspect of the Empress’s (and a number of other characters’) actions, and not the game mechanic decision on the part of Revan? Moreover, I quite pumped up beauty for my character, and even more than you did. And what does Thiary have to do with it at all? Only Alex and Aretz used his character as a positive example; a more common statement was the joking “Rinze is Thiary in a skirt.” In terms of gameplay, I didn’t have any particular problems with beauty (although the mechanic did require some refinement), as I myself told Revan before that the stat was useless. But in terms of RP, such rules somehow contradict the attempt to create the image of an effective ruler, which Rinze should be according to the narrative. Rather, it created the image of someone detached from reality.

Maybe you should reread that post, Cop. It had a scale of appearance ratings, from negative, when a penalty is applied, to positive, when a reward is given, and even our classmates received these bonuses.
Well, I remember everything perfectly, that's why I said it. Yes, it was possible to get a bonus for beauty, but not everyone could get it. Xenomia had a situation like the one I described...
Whether it's fair or not is a complex question. It's upsetting, yes.
If you decided not to criticize the system itself here, as Ples did, but to nitpick at the specific instance, namely how I linked those few words into a sentence.
Well, yes, in this case, I criticized the specific instance because the logical inconsistency is clearly noticeable. In part, because for me, at the time, it was not a minor detail, but a fundamental point.
It's possible to nitpick at your post as a whole for quite a long and tedious time, hehe, but I won't do that, because I perceive it as a joke with a touch of truth :D After all, such moments and motivations could exist in some places (a little), although it doesn't specifically concern me.

However, in terms of role-playing, these rules somehow contradict the attempt to create the image of an effective leader, which Rinze is supposed to be according to the narrative. Rather, they create the image of someone detached from reality.
There was a narrative about partially resolving the internal and foreign policy mess left by the indifferent Jek, while simultaneously fostering the cultural and aesthetic development of the population, in the paradigm of a young, energetic, artistic, gentle, beautiful, magnificent, breathtaking, and the first legitimate ruler with a past in the performing arts. The fact that these rules were not introduced centuries ago only speaks to how difficult the times we had to endure were, and your beloved Thiary is largely to blame for that.
Lock, you can build an academy of idols in Grisal. If necessary, we'll cut social programs, let the poor, talentless wretches starve.
I'm not a big fan, I just think that criticizing what is probably the only good period in the entire history of Reima, based on the fact that pimply wretches in homespun rags received a penalty to their meager rations at the end of their first year, is low...

And Ment has a personal grudge because his fantastic learning bonuses from the bracelet were reduced :smile06:

Ment seems to have a personal grudge because the fantastic training bonuses from his bracelet were nerfed.
How is the experience reduction related to the bracelet? And I can't say that it's upsetting to me personally, for a very simple reason: from a gameplay perspective, this system was more successful than not. Perhaps not ideal, but rewarding its appeal was probably worth considering. Although the reward in the form of increased attention from the opposite sex was already quite noticeable, but it didn't suit everyone for role-playing, and not everyone benefited from it.
As for the character, yes, it was a bit sad at the time. From a gameplay perspective, it's good because crises are necessary. But no one likes those who are the cause of these crises, which is logical :D

It's the same as with taxes on income – the more you earn, the more unpleasant it is to experience a percentage reduction.

That's fair. But I'll point out that you're discriminating against me.

I took the bracelet and mercy for role-playing, although in terms of gameplay, it would have been much more effective to take various curiosities or an intelligence stat, and then add some strength/dexterity, but then – bam – and the stat that was already almost a default stat for the character was cut! :D
Just kidding, with a touch of seriousness.

Well, that’s the point – I compensated for training in any subject with the bracelet, and that eased the pressure a bit; I didn’t have to min-max so much:cool:

Deimos sent Nimril to DIE. He wanted to do something unpleasant to the girl you were talking to and sent someone who happened to be available and whom he didn't care about at all to carry out a courier mission. Well, so what if a half-dead northerner dies? One more, one less – it makes no difference to him. From the very first conversation and with every subsequent post until the very end, I hinted that you shouldn't go there/should leave as soon as possible without making a fuss. In fact, even at the very end (when I wrote that the stones were pulsating), you could have left by ending the conversation and just getting the hell out of there; they wouldn't have chased after you.
Ah, those were the days, those were the times.
