Rumors
In order to clarify the process for how rumors, in specific, work, here is a step-by-step: 1. Rumor submitted: Someone submits a rumor for one of the boards. If based on true events, no roll is needed immediately. If it spins true events in a certain direction heavily, or is a complete fabrication, rolls will have to be made. As they will if the source of the rumor is to be hidden. These rolls will usually be Wits or Manipulation + Subterfuge + Status. The Status used will depend on the board in question, and will be required to make the roll. 2. Rumor Quashing: Rumors can be stamped out, if someone has the appropriate Status to manipulate the board in question and does not like the rumor. This will usually be Presence + Intimidation + Status. 3. Defending a Rumor: If someone tries to quash your rumor, you can roll to defend it if you have the appropriate Status. This will usually be a Wits or Manipulation + Subterfuge + Status roll. 4. Investigating a Rumor: If you want to find the truth out behind a rumor, or the source of one, or other information about them, and have the appropriate Status, contact Staff. There are different ways to go about doing so, and that will determine what roll you make, though you will be able to add your Status rating. 5. Other: People can roll ahead of time to either quell rumors that fit certain criteria (about a certain person, or regarding a certain event), or in anticipation of a certain rumor being manipulated. These rolls will vary, so talk to staff if you are interested in attempting them.
