Hello all,
Because of the delicate IC/OOC nature of stealths, the admin team have decided to enforce a 'default' time limit for stealths.
If you create a stealth, you have 72 hours from the time someone blocks, to respond. Similarly, if for example, your stealth is for an outcast and 72 hours passes, you must post your reveal. If you pass the 72 hour period with no response, your stealth will default. You do not need to reveal who your stealth was for, and you can reuse it (though you'll be at a disadvantage since others will already have had time to think about it and/or make guesses).
Importantly, this cannot be done intentionally. This rule was created so that characters would not be in limbo during extended stealths, NOT so that the effects of the stealth could be avoided. If the admin know that you have been online/are in a position to answer the stealth, you will be required to post your reveal. Anyone using this rule as a way of avoiding IC-stealth penalties will receive a warning.
The admin team think this default time limit is only fair given the number of 'leave my herd alone' challenges, as well as the fact that allowing stealths to remain in limbo for days can be confusing for herd blocks ("well, they were an outcast when the stealth was made, but it's 2 weeks later and now they're in our herd?"), and also time lines.
If you have any questions, please feel free to post below!
Thank you,
The Admin Team.
Question. If the stealth has been successfully blocked, but the poster does not respond, does the herd not have any rights to know if the block was correct or not?
No.
Stealths are revealed after 48 hours of the target is an outcast.
So if it's for an outcast, you must post the reveal after 72 hours, which is a full day after the time limit for outcasts to block anyways.
