^ I'm wondering this as well.

Question: The rules servants need to abide in this "universe" will all be explained at the start of the game if they haven't already been fully explained in the description of the RP right? (Edit: Specifically I'm wondering what other new rules are there for servants besides dying instantly with their master when compared to the original show?)

I'd also like to give a suggestion: letting the Servants who lost their Masters serve a new Master.

Devour already has in the rules though that if Masters die their servants die as well

Yeah, but with the surplus of Masters, that rule could be tweaked. THEN again, if the Servant intentionally kills their Master...

It's a suggestion.

I really like the idea, but like the throwing device said, that's already been stated Devour to not be the case, probably for a very good reason. I'm fine either way.

(It would make it a bit more intense in my opinion though, but I think that rule might be in place so the master/servant have to work together more.)

I'm pretty sure it said somewhere that servants are serving the masters because they also have something to gain that they wouldn't be able to without the master. Killing them would be redundant.

Then again, there are some pretty interesting characters in this roleplay, who knows.

Because of command seals, there is no way for the servant to kill the master. The master can make the servant kill themselves before that's even an issue.

It should be noted that there is a limited amount of spots in this and I'm sure we have already exceeded that quota. To everyone afters Tsar Bomba who posted you should consult Devour. I'm not sure if he's willing to extend the player count again.


Yes, but if Devour finds another master superior to my own, then I won't make a fuss if he decides to go with that one in place of mine.

Careful Devour, your reputation might be at stake if you refuse Tsar's late character

It was actually coordinated from the beginning that Tsar was making a Master character sheet, but was caught up with some debauchery at the time and could not give it immediate attention.

I read that in Jutsu' voice, lol. While I understand where you're coming from completely, you are an adult who is perfectly capable of typing out whatever it is ugly that you want to say and then deleting it. If I can tell when it's not the time or place to be a troll, I know you can too.

Command seals can run out yes? I understand what you mean, but there are many examples of that not working in the original story. While it would be extremely hard for a servant to do this, catching their "master" by surprise and killing them instantly is still possible (hypothetically if this new rule was added.)

Command seals are not very effective at all unless the command is specific, so technically they can't really run out.

I understand where you're coming from, but in this setting it would be highly unlikely because the servant cannot make a post where he kills his master because that would be taking control over someone elses' character. Unless Devour gives permission there is no way that is going to work. If my servant tried killing me, I'd smooth dodge that shit and make them kill themself. This would work because I cannot say that I attack you and win, because that would mean I would have to control your character indefinitely outside of the flavor text rule. My servant will know right from the beginning that master aint about no shit.

Oh, forgot about that bit about the effectiveness of command seals, it's been a while since I've seen the show, but doesn't that make it even easier for the servant to kill the master if done in a tense situation? What if say... the servant did the action as a sneak attempt? For example, if servant A wanted to kill Master C, they would private msg Devour their attempt at doing so without being noticed until they are already stabbing the master. Then Devour could decide if the attempt is successful or not, letting Master C in on everything they would perceive in the situation while servant A appears chat wise to be acting as normal.

Also, isn't there a limited number of command seals? Not sure if this rule is the same in this game, but I remember there being 3-4 only for most masters.

(Just talking about this hypothetically of course... XD)
