How do I get Rumors

Every so often I will post a rumor. They could be true, they could be false.
When a rumor spreads, it's easy for everyone to hear it, so everyone gets the information. If a rumor appears on this board, your characters knows it.

So how do you know it's true?
Every rumor will have a TN associated with it. If you get the TN you can determine how much % it is true or false.
Every rumor has some seed of truth to it, so you can know how much of it is true.
If you make 2 raises you can know which parts are true and which are not.
If you make 2 raises you can know where the rumor originated (who said it first in it's most recent telling)
If you make all 4 raises to know which parts are true and where it came from you can get who originally told it, though it may be a different rumor he told in the beginning as these things change over time.

As a reply to a rumor make a Courtier(Gossip)/Awareness roll against the TN + any raises you make. Be sure to state what raises you are making in the post. If you succeed you will be given a PM with all the information.

I want to create a rumor.
Great! Type one up and send it to us. It's TN 20 Courtier(Gossip)/Awareness to make a rumor at TN 10. You can make raises to increase the difficultly of the rumor TN (+5 TN per raise). Once the roll is made the rumor will be sent. But what if you fail the roll? Depends on how bad you fail it by. If you fail it by less than 10 the rumor simply is failed to be noticed. If you fail by more than 10 people will believe instead that you are trying to slander someone, and a new rumor will be created to reflect that, so be careful.
