- Please no drama, no toxic stuff etc. Respect each other. Let everyone play and enjoy.
- Respect legacy of Solace: roleplay.
- Strictly follow ALL RULES.

Consider clans closed for now. Write a role indicating you'd love a certain clan; you might be inducted at some point (don't worry about your level).

Coming soon: a solution for solo mages level grind. Multicharring is NOT allowed (see above about following all rules).

Cheers!

How about "Remove Cobar" for new?
Senseless clan with no idea behind it.
Given the declining number of players, less clans means more action whatever clan is removed, but Cobars are N 1 on that list.

- well since their current state is the same as their old state.  Which is weak... Idea was ok, but population makes RP clan silly since MUD is PK.  Buff or Erase... vote

Tanis is obviously not objective about his child. I don't see how any buffs can make it more meaningful.

Oblige Cobars to fight at least two other clans (Guards? Takhi? Tower?). At least they won't seem as dull. Then improving them will make sense.

(Personally I'd prefer it to be removed. Not before it is out of active members, of course.)

or oblige them perform some duties (like guardians in some way).

For instance, set horses in area next to their hq to heavily carry books.
Everybody goes hunt the horses, and set cobars to protect the horses.

- That is great news, they need to be more fleshed out in turns of classes allowed and relevant powers granted.  

- Well they have never been buffed so lets see what happens with one at least.  And as I recall Cobar has fought many battles with Guardians and Takhisis.  But to be honest Guardians fighting Cobar was just a normal PK, no clan powers had any real relevance.. other then some horse meat shields (both their power sets could use an overhaul).  And Cobar fighting Takhisis was fine other then Takhisis has very little class/race restriction while Cobar has the bane of both with no power support.  Cobar even war'd with Solamnia.

I did say oblige. They need two permanent enemies they cannot have peace with. Then they won't be so dull (no matter what powers they have at any given moment: more members cover lack of power).

Update: to arre: duty to protect horses will just make them a warders' clone. Without making them any less dull.
Also, such an easy duty does not deserve considerable powers. And I'm eager to hear your RP explanation of the fact that "people attack our horses because they want the books they are carrying".

making warders clon would make them less dull.

It was just example. Something to oppose cobars and rest of players. You are free to imagine some other example.

Prehistory: Zakh wants my boots of south. He came Inn for talk with Zoft, Eleazor and Mlaah Smiley At the end of conversation he tried to scare me Smiley and then solace died (yesterday night). Today he appeared and asked me about his offer. I don't want to trade my boots for mask which I don't need. So...

You tell Zakh, 'So?'
Zakh tells you, 'Ghm?'
You tell Zakh, 'Just wonder what are ya going to do.'
Zakh tells you, 'Why are you surprised?'
You tell Zakh, 'Me? nah.'
You tell Zakh, 'Are ya waiting for friends?'
Zakh tells you, 'Heh, for what?'
You tell Zakh, 'You better know...'
Zakh tells you, 'You talking so strange.'
Zakh tells you, 'If you have not accepted our proposal, this does not mean that we immediately take any action on you.'
You tell Zakh, 'So you've decided to wait friends...'
You tell Zakh, 'Let's meet and close all questions.'
Zakh tells you, 'You want fight?'
You tell Zakh, 'Why not.'
You tell Zakh, 'Let's even try.'
Zakh tells you, 'You must know one thing. Cobar not going to sully his hands in your blood. For Cobar if it needs, it will make other people.'
Zakh tells you, 'It is dirty work and not our style.'
You tell Zakh, 'You're just a coward, man.'
You tell Zakh, 'Hear?'
You tell Zakh, 'Yeah.'
You tell Zakh, 'I'll make it by my own hands.'
Zakh tells you, 'You can do only one thing. Bring boots to our horseman, get mask and run from my lands.'
Zakh tells you, 'Are you accept this?'
You tell Zakh, 'Surely nope.'
Zakh tells you, 'It is your choise.'

lashed together expertly with long rawhide ropes. Behind the gates, a
collection of tents and willow-branch huts offer shelter from the driving
winds and lashing rain of the plains. The soil is churned in a mass of hoof
prints and wheel marks, marking the path inside the enclosure to a wide
space where many powerful horses are housed. A crude but effective wall of
sharp briars and wooden stakes forms a complete barrier against intruders,
leaving the gates as the only entrance into the corral.
