Temi exclaims, "Okay, great, thanks Scarry!"
Scarry claims, "No problem."
Temi has awarded you 3 QPs: Scribe
InvestSouthside snuffs a triangular glass-paned lantern wrought of dull, grey iron.
Temi pontificates to InvestSouthside, "You're off the hook this week!"
Meiari golf claps for Scarry.
InvestSouthside dances a little
Scarry says, "I do the writies."
Temi states, "Alright, so, general reminder that we'll assume everyone is doing the best that they can with the information they have and means well."
Temi questions, "Agenda for today: 1) Staff Update, 2) Player heartbeat, 3) Player Topics. Anyone have any topics they want to get on the list?"
Rambling states, "I'll have you know I assume the worst of everyone, especially myself, and work on absolutely no information. /s"
InvestSouthside nods to Rambling "We know."
Valora trails off, "Damn bro..."
Scarry states, "I got nothin'."
Temi claims to Rambling, "Well, you'll just have to live with us assuming otherwise when you don't remind us so."
Temi grins at Rambling.
InvestSouthside says, "Am I wrong thats the MO of the Reeves"
Rambling hangs local Southside Investor. "oops
"InvestSouthside tilts his head "Or Vandagans?"
Meiari cheers for someone.
Temi says, "Alright, well! If anyone comes up with any topics as we go, let me know and I'll get you on the list."
Valora states, "You all need the Lord."
InvestSouthside makes heart hands at Rambling
Temi declares, "So, staff updates!"
Temi states, "Karrin apologizes for her absence this week. Apparently her work has been crazy and not giving her much time for us, but she should be around later to get caught up on plots."
Meiari says, "Stupid rl sassing our Karrin"
Temi finishes abruptly, "For myself, main focus continues to be the big header plot. I've got a refugee camp on the grid now with an npc with progs for those who prefer that sort of thing, though plots will remain open as well - whatever works better for what you want to do"
Rambling states to Valora, "We need the lord as much as we need water. We DO need it, but then SOOOOME people either go "ew it's not flavored" or "what's water intoxication never heard of it"."
Meiari asks, "I wanted to ask: do we give things individually to the NPC or can we give her a crate of goodies?"
Temi says, "Crates should be fine, but I think I've seen give all.stuffs to be problematic with the progs before"
Temi claims, "So if you do want to hand in bulk, in a container is probably for the best"
Rambling says, "But yes, the NPC for donations? I've missed the pilgrim friar man from that plot from a while back."
Temi nods at Rambling.
Temi says, "I might do something with some fancier progs as well, but for now it's just whatever donations and no specific rewards. I'll have to count it all up by hand as I process"
Temi declares, "And I've tried to get to a few general requests as well - please do let us know if it's been several days and you haven't seen action on something like that... sometimes I read them when I don't have time to do them immediately, and forget to go back when the notes aren't new, so very sorry about that!"
Scarry claims, "If you donate enough items you get one free massage in the slippery dolphin."
Musketeer states, "I'm terrified to see just how effective that incentive would be in Lithmore."
Temi grins.
PositronicJune says, "How many gentry would get stabbed trying to get their free massage"
Valora claims, "Into the river with you Scarry."
Musketeer states, "Also, hello everyone. I am in fact alive. Rumors of my demise are greatly
exaggerated."
Scarry states, "Wow,Valora. You have to donate a bit more before you can get me wet."
Temi queries, "Any other questions about any of that? Or specific things it would be nice to see on grid for the plot?"
Temi finishes abruptly, "I've also considered adding some moods around for thematics but haven't had the time yet - definitely happy if any of you want to do so for things you're aware of"
Musketeer claims, "Preferably sharpened and sturdy."
PositronicJune says, "Like, been internally wondering when to put up a plot for that"
Temi says, "If you don't want it general sorted through the refugee stuff and we'll see how that shapes up, certainly feel free to put up a plot"
Scarry states, "I need to put in my plot for this week ouuggh."
Scarry states, "Or well, next week now."
Sparkles claims, "I had a question in the line of moods - if folks came up with echoes for the camp would that be something easily added? I wasn't certain if that was a building thing or a code thing or how difficult that is. Not certain if people will be camping there for long periods of time, but was an idea."
Temi says, "If folks have stuff like that to contribute, I can probably get it added in without too much effort"
Temi claims, "Or if there's other rooms you'd want to see on the refugee camps for stuff that has been set up, if you want to write up descs for those, it'd be easier for me to add them then too"
Temi muses, "Okay! Anything else on any of that? Or we can move on to player heartbeat"
Temi muses, "Alright! So, how's RP been for folks this week?"
Valora claims, "Huh awesome ok... that's pretty cool and now I need to come up with funnies."
Scarry says, "I've got pneumonia
"Rambling claims, "East. West."
Kalana says, "Not too bad, a little slow on my side but that's been my fault with the RL stuff"
Temi comforts Scarry.
Valora says, "RP was good! been in scenes with all sorts of folks. Quite a variety. It's been fun."
ThatBard says, "I had lots of irl stuff to take care of."
Eeel states, "RP has been good. I was sort of absent a couple days due to being kind of sick irl,
but otherwise Ive had fun"
Brenier claims, "It's been pretty fun. I've had some RL get in the way this week but otherwise
great."
PositronicJune states, "I've been feeling kinda bleh, another MUD stressing me out, I apologize about the stuff I've been slacking on"
Temi comforts PositronicJune.
PositronicJune states, "Uuw"
PositronicJune uwu
Temi says, "We all have those kinds of weeks where we're not as productive"
Musketeer states, "I'm honestly happy to finally be able to squeeze time in with my work schedule, and actually catch people."
Temi declaims to Musketeer, "Always loving to see that!"
InvestSouthside says, "I have had a good week. Getting ready to find more things to stir the pot and drive staff crazy"
Musketeer states, "Normally I log on, I'm lucky if there's *A* person, staff included."
InvestSouthside grins at Temi
Temi claims to Musketeer, "Yeah, my schedule definitely skews later than a lot of player over the last year or so, so there's definitely times I'm on my own here during the week"
Meiari claims, "I've had a good time... had tea. Always love tea."
Temi pontificates to InvestSouthside, "Looking forwards to it!"
PositronicJune says, "Uh oh"
Scarry states, "I'm productive... Producing sputum."
Temi says, "I have some stirring the pot to do too. Completely innocently, of course."
PositronicJune claims, "I have some pot stirring to do (I'm making spaghetti right now)"
Scarry claims, "I love pasketti"
Brenier claims, "I'm often the only person, or one other person, besides Temi. Those late night blues, lol."
Musketeer says, "Temi the day you "innocently" stir the pot, the kitchen will go up in flames."
Temi states, "Ooh, another good type of pot stirring"
Temi says to Musketeer, "Entirely possible."
Temi exclaims, "I mean, what, no, of course not!"
Musketeer claims, "And also, yeah, I'm usually on in the wee hours of the morning. 4AM Server"
Temi nods at Musketeer.
InvestSouthside says, "Yeah when normal people are asleep"
Temi states, "Rough time for finding folks"
Musketeer claims, "Yes unfortunately keeping the trains moving means I don't get normal people hours."
Temi muses, "Anything bothering folks about the game that staff ought to be aware of?"
Temi claims, "Well, that is important stuff."
Temi nods at Musketeer.
Musketeer states, "Not enough cops."
ThatBard claims, "I could be on at 4 pm server time. I will try to on more. *smiles in european*"
Rambling states, "OooUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH"
Valora claims, "I can't think of anything here... Game's been great."
Scarry claims, "Personally I want even less knights and reeves."
Musketeer says, "Well that's too bad."
Temi says, "Well, that's another way to go."
Temi grins.
Eeel says, "What nefarious things do you want to get up to Scarry"
Meiari says, "Sus"
Valora claims, "Well be the change you want to see in the world. go and reduce the number, Scarry."
Scarry says, "Preaching about the flying spaghetti monster."
Brenier claims, "I can certainly interact with people late at night if they're around. XD"
ThatBard states, "I mean.. man up and one v one them."
Musketeer says, "Just remember everyone. equal rights, equal fights. the hands are rated E for everyone."
InvestSouthside claims, "I'll say it and no one will expect it. I adore our Reeves and Knights who are around."
Scarry claims, "I must simply addict Valora to gasoline fumes, gotcha."
Rambling states, "Reeve and Knights (we hold hands)"
Temi nods.
Valora says, "Just know I pray for all your souls and good health. Even Scarry who needs the Lord's light more than anyone."
Rambling claims, "A reminder for everyone that the rumor system is a mail in tabloid and every time you use it, you send 1 gold piece to the Widows and Orphans fund. Even if you lie. ESPECIALLY if you lie. Just remember to sprinkle in some truths here and there."
Musketeer says, "Okay but "
Temi says to Rambling, "And especially especially if the lie is believable but scandalous"
Temi wonders, "Alright, well, I don't have any topics on the list. Has anyone thought of any? Or we can just keep talking about this, or I can send folks back to cause troubles on grid"
Musketeer muses, "Does it have to be real gold?"
Valora states, "Plays "In the arms of an angel" to support /rambling's announcement."
Sparkles claims, "Also if you want to mail things in for the actual tabloids, quarterly reminder the Bards have a mailbox for that."
PositronicJune muses, "Do they?"
PositronicJune states, "Also council meeting after this isn't there"
Sparkles says, "Next week."
Meiari states, "Council meeting next week :3"
Musketeer declaims, "Oh! I can make that one!"
Rambling states, "With your help, we can fill the rumor system with Fresh Hot Loads so we can fund arming the orphans with pots and pans they'll use to charge the Daravi frontline."
PositronicJune trails off, "O. ...y'know I just realized I asked elisabetta when the meeting is and didn't specify which meeting"
InvestSouthside states, "Phrasing Rambling"
Temi states, "Very nice"
Musketeer is now wheezing in the corner. Excuse him.
Rambling claims, "Fresh Hot Loads of Manure, thank you, I didn't think for a second."
Scarry queries, "Fresh, hot loads you say?"
Meiari sips tea.
Valora states, "You know... this is why the angels don't talk to us anymore."
Rambling hangs Scarry. "oops
"Temi states, "Oh, they just can't keep up with us."
Musketeer states, "I thought it was because we forgot to pay church taxes one Magebane."
Rambling trails off, "The deep lore of the heavens.................."
Capitalism trails off, "One magebane... as if the church gets any taxes these days"
InvestSouthside tithes Musketeer's paycheck
Musketeer says, "Jokes on you, you assume I get paid."
Eeel states, "The order receives SO MUCH tax"
Rambling says, "Anyway, rumors are fine to host little vignettes on the lives of Lithmore's notables like"
Scarry says, "One wonders why they keep buying sugar cubes from all that tithe money."
Scarry says, "But I am but a simple servant of the Lord *sip ta*"
Rambling says, "Ragamuffin Jack and his quest for the crispiest fried rat recipe"
Musketeer questions, "Hey do you think we could make a like.. Plinko type thing for one of those more festive holidays, for people to play and win prizes?"
Temi asks, "How would you want that to work?"
PositronicJune queries, "Oh that reminds me, I wonder, what are the limits of requesting custom items or modifications to items for QP?"
Musketeer claims, "And "
Rambling muses, "What like a plinko themed after dropping mages into the abyss? Wouldn't the church have an issue with that?"
Musketeer claims, "I will get back to you on that because ADHD is a vicious mistress."
PositronicJune claims, "That'd be fucked up Rambling"
Musketeer queries, "And June reminded me. if I need to get something resized for the sake of layering items, that'd be a request board at the cost of some QP yeah?"
Temi says, "Well, that is something to celebrate."
Temi nods at Musketeer.
Scarry claims, "Luckily mages aren't people or else this would be fucked up."
Temi exclaims, "Yupyup! That's not a big resize for like bags that hold a lot more or such"
Temi states, "But for layering is absolutely what it's intended for"
Musketeer states, "I just need to tweak some waist items."
Musketeer states, "P.S., Keyrings are obnoxiously big."
Temi says, "There's also a silver option for doubling the size of a container once for silver - only available a single time on an item though. That goes through the housing system, generally intended for like bigger wardrobes or such"
Sanura pat myself contemplatively "I think I need more straps."
Rambling claims, "Well June I would ask a noted personage to make it but I can't specify anything as it would be a slightly too spicy roast for OOC chat."
Temi claims, "Unfortunately, containers have to be big because they have to be larger than the total size of stuff inside of them to work"
PositronicJune says, "Wuh"
Temi states, "So keyrings have to be big enough to actually hold a number of keys"
Musketeer states, "This is fair, it's just obnoxious when trying to fight with it and belts."
Sparkles states, "As for the plinko thing, the fact the roulette wheels are fully functional forsomething like that has always impressed me. But I'm guessing a crazy amount of work went into those. But, instead, I do wonder if a combo of ed descs and Luck rolls for social events might work."
Temi claims, "I wonder if we should make a tiny keyring object though if you care more about a small keyring than holding all your keys"
Temi claims, "I wonder if we should make a tiny keyring object though if you care more about a small keyring than holding all your keys"
Temi nods at Sparkles.
Rambling claims, "I hate hate hate how we're talking plinko adapted for medieval times and it makessense"
Temi says, "Not necessarily too crazy to make, but there is an individual entry needed for each possible result"
Sparkles claims, "I think having a smaller keyring at a lower level would allow more crafters to make them, possibly."
Temi states, "But there's certainly a ton more that can be done with rp and rolls than we can do in code."
Sparkles nods.
Musketeer nods. Thinks they might have a new game night idea for one of those ST's?
Rambling claims, "Not one of MY STs that I am continuously threatening to share an idea of with the staff and never do"
Musketeer queries, "Well as fun as this has been, I need to fling to the aether. Double down should just dump me on the almshouse floor, yeah?"
Valora states, "I think so yeah."
Scarry exclaims, "Bye Musketeer!!"
Temi grins.
Temi asks, "Alright, anything else on folks' minds?"
Temi nods at Musketeer.
Musketeer says, "Later everyone."
Valora shakes her head.
Musketeer begins to descend.
Scarry says, "Don't got anything, I am fully occupied scratching down the meeting."
Musketeer leaves down.
InvestSouthside claims, "A lot but I dont share because it can be used in a court of law"
Temi claims, "I could just go ahead and send folks back then, if you like"
Temi grins at InvestSouthside.
Temi claims, "Canny"
Temi pontificates, "Alright, back to the grid and your mischiefs with you!"
Temi waves.
