While witches are great on paper, I honestly do not believe that they can thrive in the current environment of the game on both an IC and OOC level. I give props to those who are willing to tackle the challenge, but with how fast people are able to communicate a lot of times information is spread quite easily. I'm not accusing anyone in particular, but stating in general that metagame does in fact happen in these sort of cases, and not something I condone at all whatsoever.

With that said, I believe that hexes in general are a bit tricky to pull off correctly. I've seen cases where people who would otherwise never act a certain way are hexed and told to go against their already established IC. I think that warrants enough suspicion. If Mother Theresa went from saving needy children one moment to selling them off for profit the next people would raise eyebrows. I also think we need to consider how many times someone can be hexed before they begin to notice differences. If one character is consistently getting hexed and through similar means/methods I personally believe at some point they should be able to feel SOMETHING is off.

But yes, there are consistently problems where certain witches are exposed OOC and then we enter a very... awkward phase where everyone else surrounding them is tip-toeing on a minefield because you don't want to be the one to be accused of metagame. It sucks, it isn't fun, and you never know when you're being influenced by metagame or not. But that ties all back into the initial point. Some witches are just plain obvious in how they conduct themselves, as well as tell a few people and it spirals out of control from there. But I get it... Being a witch is super cool and I'd feel compelled to share too, it's just hard to navigate around.

I'm indifferent when it comes to mimic/demons apps though. I think there'd need to be some serious quality standards set in place/not approving too many definitely.

I agree with this as well, as stated in initial post.

There ought to be something done about witches and the way they get metagamed/ their hex works (as summarized in initial post), and preferably mimic/ demon apps opened with certain limitations (either harsher judgment or limited slots).

We don't want pre-TS flood of demons, that was awful. As it stands, however, antagonist side is a dead horse and some players just keep beating it.





Or I guess we can just keep it dead, but current game environment too comfortable.
