I suppose a week is enough time to let this sit before I ask for another update. Not my intent to be a nuisance, but I'm fairly interested in the outcome of this whole thing.
So... anything new?
I believe that the official decision is that we are no longer going to regulate skills in the Realm of Greeting, just abilities. Abilities are things that have a direct effect on other PCs (like fireballs and extra speed). Skills are things that are a) based on the subjective knowledge of the character and b) have an indirect effect on other PCs (like lockpicking). The decision whether something is a skill or an ability will be made at the discretions of the Realm of Greeting moderators. Skills will be enforced utilitizing typical powergaming and spoils rules. For example, if your thief character steals something that belongs to another character without permission it is powergaming. If you break into an NPCs vault during a quest to steal something, it is up to the judge to determine whether the writing quality warrants the reward.
Taskmienster should be along shortly to verify the new position, but I'm pretty sure I understood it as such.
