  • Part of that was the armor overhaul but even before, that's gonzo, yeah. Oof, and I don't want to think about the aethersuits, gnomish weapons, whips, etc. and how they factor into the economy discussion yet since their owners have essentially opted…
  • True. One baby step that could be made nearly immediately is something already suggested here, I think: having village comm quests shift or duplicate some of the produced comms to the player turning them in, and having the Obelisk give a report…
  • Honestly one of the main concerns for using commodity costs as a baseline is that some professions alter the cost, either by making something that lasts longer (creating more value per commodity spent) or by making something for fewer effective…
  • Also, these kirin are adorable and if Luce's turns out jade and white he's adopting her into Shevat.
  • Ah yes, a searchable repository of mudsex! Just what we need here! :P

    So now that I've slept, technically, let me expand a little on what I think I meant.

    Not so much trying to focus on villages as a mechanic for this as make sure that the whole system is integrated into …
  • Quick and dirty pre-nap idea:
    Condense and re-skin poisons into harvesting lots of bits from mobs, or add them to Environment. Feathers and poultry from dead birds, eggs from live ones, wool from live sheep, meat from lots of stuff, hide …
  • Logged in, was being attacked by a garosaur, hit my attack macro and let it run while typing up a 'This is SPARTA' style one-liner, WSC just before I hit enter and ended up three-shotting the thing.
  • Yeah, meant more on either a wiki or in the game section of the website where we keep the Histories and stuff.

    Deep-cut questions like "What kind of things are normal for modern <race>?", "Where do adventurers typically come from?", "What constitutes an appropriate backstory?", "How can I set my character apart without breaking the rules?…
  • The two main drawbacks to using the city's OOC clans for that are that A) You need to be invited to them (obviously a minor problem in heavily trafficked and populated org, but it's still there) and in Player Retention and Growth Comment by Luce October 2018
  • So, one of my friends, who is a gem and loves text-based stuff, was mostly put off by the complete inability to have an OOC conversation to let him get used to the mechanics and setting without feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to stay comple…
  • Man. So, I just did the most badass thing Luce has ever done. And nobody saw it.
  • Come to that, ANY of the time-limited artifacts. The OG stockings come to mind, or any of the nature seal reward items (though I'd like to see these be able to be completed again as an event). I'm all for exclusive items for people who were there at…
  • Tongue studs and other tell customisers too.
  • I should state for the record, this is very much a 'me' sort of thing as much as a tragedy of the commons. Nobody is on, so it's not very fun for me to be logged in. I'm not having fun, so I either explicitly log out or I just don'…
  • Likewise Hallifax listens to and respects our divine, but it's only one avenue of RP over here. There's also SCIENCE!, COLLECTIVISM!, and ART!, plus the family things going on (though frankly I think Shevat has more or less 'won' in Hallifax for a g…
  • For my 2 cents:
    It may be my timezone, or just a general drift that is happening across the org/game, but a lot of the game has felt like work/chores. It's things that NEED to happen, but a lot of the time lately it's felt like…
  • I like the idea of it being turned into a bashing attack/attack skin too. Not usable on mobs who aren't in the rooms, but otherwise does function against them as a bashing attack. Maybe with a 50% electric/(Divinus|excorporeal) split that can be ret…

  • Check to see if there's a very recent saved profile in the mudlet data folders and a bunch of older ones. If so, delete the most recent couple.

  • Lied. Picked up Man in the High Castle a few days ago and got to season two. I'm not sure if I approve of it per se, but it's certainly captivating.
  • A charm that when activated and tuned for a specific collection causes any curios rubbed to have a higher chance of changing into that collection.

    A package that generates a random curio piece once a Lusternian year, with a higher than av…
  • I might pay cash money to see that, if only to see what happens when there's a little bit of lag and suddenly 30+ guards are chorusing "What am I supposed to think of that?" at the poor schmuck who got in the soapbox.
  • Alternative to the butcher's harness that automatically pulls any wandering Bards/Scholars/pilgrims as if you'd SAY'd the thing. You'll still need Adalgisio's song for bard potency, or Neeia's pages for scholars. Just a giant sandwichboard that says…

  • The chairman you have tried to find
    Is buried 'neath the daily grind.
    His sleeping schedule has become strange
    So so him not for minor change
    He will attend to daily things
    That to him his position brings
    But for in dep…

    The frame being bent was the biggest concern (in total, the way it was explained is that the neck of the frame being bent caused damage to the brake line and the fork, and the constant pressure on the brake messed up other things.) Tho…
  • (Quote) Update time!

    Bike is to be considered totalled and unsafe to ride. Mechanic find that the neck of the frame connecting the handlebars to the front wheel post is bent beyond repair. Alas, poor Umbra, we knew ye not. May choi…
  • (Quote) I know that, just couldn't remember if they stayed pixies when they went into the branches
  • Aaaaand now one of us is going to have to NAMECHANGE. (Still loo-SUH, for the curious).

    And since I spilled the beans on some of my alts, but not others, I also have:

  • Fraesic always takes 4 spheres to make a gold, which counts as any colour sphere. Some/many of the spheres only take 3 spheres to get a result, and the list is theoretically structured so that all of our joules should end up at around 5 spheres…
