Who are Harpies?
Harpies : The staple to the server, the people who are watching the ongoing storylines and helping with day to day. They are online regularly to help rulings and prevent players from being locked for days without a response as they are waiting on an outcome from a frenzy or other situations. These mods are in charge of making sure that rulings do not take more than a full 24 hour cycle unless they are heavily complicated like loresheets and the like. They do not need to run any stories and instead just pop by the help with the asks waiting once a day or so.
As Storytellers there are some guidelines and rules to be followed, so we can protect the fairness of the game, since many play as well as Storytell.
1. You cannot ST for yourself. If your character is involved in any way, another ST should step in/take the reins. This makes it so that players can’t have an unfair advantage or even unconscious meta. If there isn’t another ST to take over, you must ask for difficulty for rolls. You must also deliberate about which actions would make sense for an NPC and come up with a consensus with the other ST and they give the final ruling. You cannot argue for your character especially when it’s beneficial to them, you can only give facts much like a user would and then step away.
2. Always get a second opinion. We build together, and communicating with other STs is essential for fairness. If there is an issue with a current campaign you are running, communicate these issues with other STs.
3. Be mindful of the tenets, you are a judge. During campaigns and normal play, as an ST, it’s up to you to stop any type of meta, power-gaming, etc. that you see happening. In line with Rule 2, ask Archons/Justicars to verify before talking to the player.
4. Be Fair. STs treat all players as equals. No favouritism.
