  • (Quote) ?  No, noses were given because people asked what would be a cool whimsical artifact (they were sold for dingbats and the definition of dingbat arties was "whimsical, maybe kinda useful gnomish detritus").  It was a way to …
  • I thought 3s was too short.  Similarly I think 30s is too long.  Still, the delayed activation is the solution I prefer and it should be pretty easy to change the number around a bit if needed in the future.  And who knows, maybe 30s will be fine, n…

    I think you mis-read: I'm pointing out that all of these bolded things have something trackable which is not librarian/culture minister/trademaster, and thus those should be taggable for an entry when the thing is completed.  It …
  • Designs have a designed-by flag, plays have a director (and crew, too!), books have an author.  All are things that are pretty easy to flag off of.

    Participation is difficult because you just get 1 tick for it, so it …

    I think I get where you are coming from here, but the design was not to be competitive with other esteem generation but instead to be roughly equivalent to just offering the things (though a little bit worse).
  • In the past this kind of thing has been brought up, but never really has taken off.  In the end the suggestions end up making combat harder to get into for people, need to end up having different groups / command channels, ignore some calls and prio…
  • I think 3s is too short for an activation delay, btw.
  • Why are you comparing esteem from the corpse to esteem from influencing?  Corpses are painfully undervalued and simply cannot be directly compared; esteem has a +300% bonus that corpses do not (from the shrunken l40 figurine).
    <…
  • There are a bunch of things that mitigate weather effects already.  There is something that reduces them when mounted, for example, and the Weatherproof demi power.  The advantage to a weather changing thing is that it would help other people t…
  • But it does lend weight to it being "required" by those combatants.

    Which is true.  It is so strong that it has become an essential part of certain combat routines, and this thread exists to fix that because it really…

    It is not a guarantee of success, but using it has a very high chance of rolling the 10 (permanent) and I was greatly impressed at how easy it was compared to without it.

    I am personally more a fan of getting…
  • Wonderpipe already does the amnesty thing, only it's free.  (I have used it to get unenemied to almost all NPC orgs, excepting things like kepherans).
  • I was kind of thinking of the enhance being a "purification" of the esteem contents, making them more potent.  I ended up not describing it that way because the esteem quantity actually increases, and didn't want to be suggesting something that was …
  • 1x per month you can enhance the esteem in your brazier, increasing the contents by 1% (up to some reasonable cap).

    Or could just be a flat rate of generation (basically generating some that you can use for Soulfire o…

    Offerings log busted, good job.

  • The original suggestion that led to gnome weapons was "an artifact that split your attack into up to three different streams" (so it would work on class attacks, wands, whatever).

    Turns out that it would have required…
  • Her suggestion is to make them be unique diminishing ticks, instead of shared.

    Why didn't you use Scan?

    My alias is "ss" (scent & scan).  You can block Scent with stink, can only block Scan by being indoors and Nil is mostly outdoors, isn't it?
  • I think that influence counter needs to go away, actually.  It just messes things up.  There are plenty of leprechauns around now, so let people influence more than 6.  They're not gonna take everything every single hour any more!  This way it …
  • And it's not presents any more, though it does say that in a few places still.  It's 1 coin per weave, for 6 shamrocks.  The things are also now a lot easier to influence so newer folk can go out and do it themselves!  All around a good set of chang…
  • +25 sounds about right actually.  Thanks for checking!  I've got a room at 170% in my manse, and one at 165%, but I guess I could have stuffed a bit more in.
  • It definitely stacks, I just don't remember the exact number.  I've used the stacking property though (I actually keep that one active).

    It has been brought up before.  It makes chasing trivial.  Some people like that, some don't.  "Being around a long time" doesn't make it immune to discussion though, the point of the thread is to raise concerns people have!

    Are you sure?  I see an envoy report suggesting changing to give them scent, and I found the racial report spreadsheet used to design the new races before they went live... it is a influence buff on that spreadsheet.
  • Also, what race had scent?  Iirc Illithoid had something akin to Scan.  It showed people in the area but not room names (it ignored the outdoor / indoor flag though, unlike scan).  Am I misremembering that?
  • Just as a note Niwynne, in-game I am on the same side as Veyils and Enadonella, but I am disagreeing on effects like IllSelf here.  We can agree / disagree without being org driven!

    Note that I would expect to see som…
  • No, the report writer submitted a different report, so that one is locked out for about 1.5 months.  It would require someone else picking it up / rewriting it / burning their slot and no changes for a minimum of 2.5 rl months.

  • The socks / charm report got rejected, by the way, so we are at 0/3.
  • I do agree that the reporting system is too slow btw.  Thankfully there is already a report up to streamline things.  Please support all reports!

    More on topic, our list of things appears to be:
    1) Brazier P…
  • @Niwynne When is your play time?  There are usually a couple of Celestians around near the weave, so I am assuming not then.  Unfortunately that is where I am…
