fictional past

[Pirate Lass]

I have one from Blojt that made it all the way through Krif and up to the Plaekurs....

[thingnumber2]

um, kinda back on topic...are you sure the character couldn't even have heard of it? someone might of told them about a place, and they are lying to you about stuff they did there...as far as I know, having your character lie, isn't breaking the CR...

[west]

Nobody in Blojt is liable to have told a newspawn about Seatown.

[thingnumber2]

oh, it's a newspawn....didn't read that part....

I had a charcater in Cantr City who pretended that he had murdered someone who was missing in another town in which i have acharacter. Then he enslaved another character. Now hes in jail.

i have a few char's who have fictional past's but all of them their past is in the location of their spawning so as to try and keep it in the cantr world but i don't mention other places unless i've seen them on a map or heard talk of them. but it's amazing just how many new spawn's come out with hi i'm john doe how do i get to suchandsuch a place i have to meet someone there or somesuch thing

[west]

Xander, if your character in Cantr City had never met the character he claimed to have murdered, that's a CR breach. Also, do you really want everyone to know all your characters? Most of us tend to try to keep it on the DL. Some of us old folk know who plays certain old and/or notorious characters, but few announce all of our current characters to the world.

Just a suggestion.

[Ecilope]

Spectrus, whenever you see that, please let the players department know. That's a HUGE CR breach, and we appreciate the help spotting it.

It's lots of fun if this happens in a paranoid area where nobody's heard of the place so they just assume he's crazy and lock him up

[west]

kicking newspawns can be fun!

Unless you're the newspawn and everyone's kicking you.

This kinda makes me think of a possible CR breach I experience with one of my chars. He claimed he was a general of a large army of a made up place. He made up all the names and everything(they werent even like real places). The people of the town didn't believe him,although they really didn't have any reason NOT to believe him, besides the fact that the maps they had did not have the places on them. Seems a bit shady to me :p

Your char wasn't CR Breachy at all... he had delusions of granduer... by the same token, that character could claim to be the ruler of a vast Empire that stretches to every corner of the real Cantr world or a certain region... all he would need is knowledge of the name of the region IC to say that...

The basis of building power or an Empire is to get other people to believe your delusions of granduer. Reality is only what we agree it is, our shared delusions are what make up society.

Oh, I wasn't saying my char had the CR breach. There's did, because they doubted, with no real evidence, that the place I had made up existed, based upon ooc knowledge that of course the place I had made up did not exist. Whereas if I had said that I had come from some real cantr place, even if there chars had never heard of it, they probably would've believed me. See what I mean?

[David]

The trick is to lie believably... say you are a mid-level diplomat or government official... heh.
