Verb:OPTOUT

OPTOUT Type Roleplaying System Demeanor-based No Wedding No

This verb was introduced by GM Wyrom as a way to opt out of the Green Death component of the Nations on the Brink storyline. Right now it just has an option for GREENDEATH to exclude yourself from the storyline. It will instantly turn your plague off after confirming. In the future, this system may be used for consenting to various things that players would like to opt out of. It won't turn GS into a single player game, but for things that may be intrusive in the future, staff may consider adding it to this verb. When it gets some more time dedicated to it, the OPTOUT verb will show up in VERB and have a cleaner look with XML.

I have just released the OPTOUT verb.

Right now it just has an option for GREENDEATH to exclude yourself from the storyline.  It will instantly turn your plague off after confirming.

In the future, we'll see about using this system for consenting to various things that players would like to opt out of.  It won't turn GS into a single player game, but for things that may be intrusive in the future, we may consider adding it to this verb.  When it gets some more time dedicated to it, the OPTOUT verb will show up in VERB and have a cleaner look with XML.

There is no opting back in currently.

Wyrom
But there won't be any teeter-tottering with OPTOUT.  It needs to be a consequence type situation.  Don't want to ride out the bad for the good, you just sit out. 

Wyrom
We will be adding tools that opt you out of everything in the near future if you opt out.  RPAs, rewards, etc.
