@Roz said in MU Peeves Thread:
human logic says that some asshole would just bribe a priest for a fruit and hide it in his SO’s food somehow
don’t be dumb, roz, priests are incorruptible forces of all that is good and moral.
everybody knows that.

how long does the fruit last to give you fertility? do you have to like, take it and then somehow time your ovulation as well? or do you not ovulate as a woman in this? are you just perma-fertile after eating the fruit?
honestly, i don’t see the big deal about ovulation. but honestly i have so many more questions than the policy answered.

40 years old? Been around ovulation all your life, maybe?

On the one hand, wondering if it’s an April 1 gag.
On the other hand, really hoping it’s an April 1 gag.
The amount of time I spent searching various public game wikis for pregnancy fruit this morning is…non-zero.

clearly you insert the fruit and the coitus must occur through it

Hot.

Sadly, I don’t think it’s a gag. Was posted over the weekend.

"Laypeople are not permitted to grow the Evenplum tree, ensuring that the clergy maintains strict control over the fruit’s availability and distribution.
That said, it is very likely that many Untamed tribes have access to or have their very own trees."
I guess the “savages” can do what they want, and have unregulated population control?

Genuine question: is it the idea that only priests control the magic fruit that is objectionable? Or the idea of people being infertile without it?
Like, if it were a case that people were in some weird time distortion dimension that an environmental effect makes it hard to procreate, but there is a widely available plant that guarantees success when the potential parents take it, would that also be objectionable?
I personally prefer not having to worry about pregnancy and all that shit in my RP. Not saying concordia’s idea is a good one, just no way do I want to have to worry about it.

@Cobalt For me, it’s the idea of priests (or anyone) having reproductive control over someone else.

it’s just a lot. IME when you need to legislate something for OOC/game reasons, it’s best to use a light hand. And when people start to try to logic around it, you can just say 'please handwave this, we just don’t want to deal with it".
Going super in depth about it does the opposite - it invites people to try to point out plot holes or contrivances, and then you are dealing with dealing with the thing you didn’t want to deal with.

@Snackness It gives me extra ick with the untamed tribes thing too.

@Tez omg i didn’t even read all the sections
‘this is way too much words’
-
wild as hell on so many levels
-
@Tez Yeah. There are just so, so many worms in this can.

I dunno. When one of the major premises of the game is that every birth opens up a new interdimensional rift through which terrifying things can flow, which is featured prominently in the lore writeup and splash pages and has been from the start, I don’t see that it’s outlandish that society would build up control and ritual around it.
Though I’m a fan of saying bluntly no you can’t spring a bastard or unknown child on people past or present without consent or need to make it abundantly clear that that can be done and there are many ways to do that. I do think that child stuff is always tricky and always will be, and have yet to see a place where that was handled in a way where there wasn’t some ick or drama over it, whether that’s weird people entering a family as pcs, staff dictating results of conception, ect. It’s always going to have to be some kind of policy thing because players largely don’t read/don’t give a shit about social/pc consequences or disapproval (or they love it too much in a spank me ive been a naughty person way).

Bummer, this would’ve been an April Fool’s Day gotcha I would’ve found kinda actually funny, which is a rarity.
-
@mietze That’s fair about the QUENCIES in this game canon, but I don’t love the worms in this plum. There are better ways to do it that don’t squick so hard.
-
I’m not certain there’s better ways so much as squicking different people. Except for perhaps a very blunt ooc rule of “No. This will not be entertained as a playable concept/something in play.” Which i am also a great fan of. Sometimes I think there’s too much bending over backwards to make things make sense or to try to convince players that no really this has a ic reason so you should be okay with it.
Except for the problem folks are never going to be okay with it and you will always have some non problematic folks that will disagree with any restrictive decision.
