Tips & Tricks: Avoid Violence

Violence is not privileged in TriadCity. It's nearly always the least effective solution to a challenge or a problem. It's often a really dumb solution.

Naturally, you can choose to ignore this advice if you like. A Warrior Role is available, and there are some parts of the City where violence is common or even inevitable. Our friend Lisa has a great Forum post here explaining how to use violence and thrive. Follow her advice, and, until you're very comfortable — watch yourself. There are very many ways to get killed.

"Decades before the invention of the motion picture camera, the prose fiction of the nineteenth century began to experiment with filmic techniques. We can catch glimpses of the coming cinema in Emily Bronte's complex use of flashback, in Dickens' crosscuts between intersecting stories, and in Tolstoy's battlefield panoramas that dissolve into close-up vignettes of a single soldier. Though still bound to the printed page, storytellers were already striving toward juxtapositions that were easier to manage with images than with words."
