Let's talk about property damage!

What can be damaged?

 

Most anything that a person could normally damage! Walls, buildings, streets, and lampposts, gardens, and trees. But there’s one trick to most all of this property damage.

 

Mod Approval

So what do you need that for? Point is, you’ll need mod approval for things that affect other players. It’s only polite, after all. If you want to knock over a tree or two in Xanadu, that’s one thing, go right ahead. If you want to blow up an apartment, well, that’s another. When you want to do something to that scale, you need to go to one of your handy dandy moderators and ask for permission.

 

Take note, however, that for big things, (such as missile bombardments on the City, or power outages across the Square), we're going to have to ask for about 24 hours heads up, to give your fellow players a chance to be aware of what will be going down.

 

Tell us:

And once you have all of this approved by two moderators, feel free to run over to poly_tldr and throw up a post detailing the damage to warn all of your fellow players. That way, if, say, an apartment went kapow in building six, building six’s occupants can know to be “omg wtf the apartment down the hall exploded in a torrent of fire and brimstone!” Likewise, if you plan to raze Xanadu in an epic battle, people will know that they need to stay away or risk getting involved!

 

The best part?

It all comes back. You didn’t think the deities would let you destroy their pretty little playground, did you? Of course not. After a period of 24 hours, just when no one’s looking or you swear you blinked, the landscape and architecture knits itself back together. Rubble becomes walls and splintered wood becomes trees. Any and all damage caused by characters returns to normal after one day, so don’t worry. If your rival obliterated your favorite meditation spot, it will be back to normal by the time you wake tomorrow.

 

Of course, if you really don't want your character's personal property to repair itself, for plot purposes, or just to have them homeless for a while, then you're free to. Default, however, is set to repair.

 

The only exceptions to this rule are possible curse effects, which will always be stipulated before hand, Poly plot, which will also be announced clearly, and the Deity Office, which is virtually indestructible. Oh, you can try.
