Posted: Sat Dec 24, 2016 6:09 pm
Niamh declaims, "Agenda!
-- Staff updates
-- Player Heartbeat
-- Player Topics (Of which there are none!)"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8032] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh trails off, "Ismael should start us off, because he's the only other Staff here..."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8035] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "All I have for my topic is to say that I don't have anything to say because it's been too scarce to get data for kinky and she's not here anyway"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8035] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael pontificates, "Okay!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8036] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael trails off, "Hmm. I've run some tests with Alex and are doing some brain-muscle work on a new sneaking system for us; I hope to have the spec for us Jan 1, but realistically it might be Jan 2's night. What else..."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8040] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael exclaims, "I'm working on the University Grounds, but notoriously I only made a nice garden; I hope I can work on something of it, but realistically too it might be hard to get anything done this weekend. I'll try!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8043] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh grins at Ismael.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8043] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh states, "He sells himself short. He did a couple descriptions and they look amazing, so far."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8043] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael exclaims, "I've been handling requests. I reduced our recommend list which was starting to get big. And I've been ridiculously active to help players, where possible!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8043] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz whisper-chants "recommend list" while pounding her fists on the table
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8044] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael states to Niamh, "Aw, that's nice! I'm hoping the players can see it soon! At least the garden."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8044] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "Next up is... Niamh! Which is me."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8044] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "This week I finished the mob revitalizations for the Farin Quarter, and laid out 9 distinct mobprog behaviors for the up and coming "making the NPC world feel living" project. I fielded request and typo notes as they came in, and added a Husbandry-practice area to the Alms House in North Lithmore; basically just some of the lowest level animals on hand to practice with and get going on Husbandry. This coming week I'll be going through each city district and continuing to revamp descriptions on mobs. "
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8050] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael nods at Niamh.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8050] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael smiles at Niamh.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8050] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says to everyone, "There's a beggar mob behavior that I really liked."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8050] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael claims, "And a few other mob behaviors that looked really neat"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8053] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "I'm really looking forward to that one. If anyone is interested in them or keen to give feedback, drop me a note."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8053] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh wonders, "Player Heartbeat! How was RP this week? To use Kinaed's words, is anything shitting anyone?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8053] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "I should go check out the new Farin quarter then"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8053] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh smiles at Rickart.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8057] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz states, "Rp has been good"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8060] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh declares, "Good to hear!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8060] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh asks, "Did someone have an event planned for after the meeting today?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8063] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus says, "I don't think so. It would be suicidal to plan one after Christmas."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8063] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz nods at Barcus.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8063] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh grins at Barcus.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8063] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus states, "Lord Maggie Straight Covert Nuts Bark has been out of the grid a little bit."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8063] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh states, "Must have gotten my wires crossed."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8068] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart says, "I was going to try to plan the knighting ceremony after the meeting two weeks from now. So not new years eve, obviously, but the 7th"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8068] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz states, "I think i was talking about how i threw spring awakening last saturday"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8068] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh states, "Oh! That was probably it, Almaz."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8068] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "I hear it was awesome."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8068] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus declaims, "But my RP on my bardly alt has been fun! I was planning to have a 3rd alt but suddenly I was like"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8071] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh nods at Barcus.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8071] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus says, "Hell naw 2 much rp 4 me"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8071] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh nods at Rickart.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8071] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "Or reflecting on that, yes. I lobbied for the memorabilia today to be a Spring-Awakening nativity set b/c of that one birth rumor"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8071] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus states to Rickart, "7th is probably not a bad date"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8071] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart nods.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8071] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh nods at Barcus.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8071] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz grins at Rickart.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8076] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart hires Haizea's ascii invitation bordering skills
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8076] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "Welp! If nobody has any player topics, we can either hang about and chat for the remainder of the hour, or I can trans you back."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8076] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus replies to you, "The guy at the marriage meeting shit?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8082] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart says, "I have a question not a topic"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8082] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh nods at Rickart.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8082] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "Go for it."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8082] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael exclaims, "Shoot it!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8087] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart questions, "Kink posted the staff priorities earlier in the month, but I only re-appeared in late november so I actually don't know what the assets system is going to be, nor 'mooks' on the other items list. Is there a resource like does someone remember the chat log date for when it was presented what those are?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8087] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael declares, "I could explain it to you if that helps? I'm not very sure what OOC chat has it!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8088] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh listens to Ismael.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8088] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart says, "That works. maybe after we give these poor chaps a chance to trans back if they don't have their own Qs and know the material"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8088] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "In a nutshell, the assets system has been in the drafts for a while. The idea is the following:"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8092] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Eirian is idle.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8098] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Eirian is no longer idle.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8098] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "Remove purchase silver and purchase wealth; replace it with realistic manners of income that will adapt themselves to a player background. So... taking inspiration from the nerdy book I'm reading... imagine you're a Vandagan trader."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8098] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "(it is not talking of Vandagan but Jewish, but you know.)"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8098] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael claims, "Anyways, your income comes from (A) stuff you sell on grid and (B) stuff your char sells in his other businesses off grid."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8098] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "He might have a trading enterprise with ships that travel from duchy to duchy, or traders buying goods at low prices and selling them where they're required."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8101] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "Assets lets you get this business, get realistic income (or objects you can tool), and it adapts to your background rather than to your activity."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8101] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "You can improve your asset, or sell it, and you can absolutely compete with other assets."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8104] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh queries to Ismael, "Rather than having the unnamed wages on your "pay list", you would arrange for assets that replace it, right?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8104] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart says, "Okay. So right now people come up with their own stories on the fly for how they got that silver, now it will be more codified what the exact source is instead of you slushfunding and giving some RP explanation when you feel it's called for based on your spending. "
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8104] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael nods at Niamh.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8104] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "Yes, it will regularize your income based on the background story you provide."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8104] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael states, "It can be anything really."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8104] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart says, "I will have to go rethink exactly what his family does then yeah"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz claims, "Have you guys been talking about how crafters can already make a ridiculous amount of money compared to the rest of the players though if youre going to remove purchase silver too"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael states, "It can represent your family giving you allowances, or the money you get as a thief."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "Also, assets are metric dependant."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz says, "I feel like if you can stack noble or gentry assets on top of a pshop that could potentially be insane"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael claims, "If you have a farm it depends on economy."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "That's true. As a non crafter my money just goes down and down unless I purchase silver, but my crafter friend makes insaaaaaane money"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz nods at Rickart.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8114] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "Assets will also involve imports of items, from what I understand. A person who has connections in Vavard might import wine, jewelry, etc., from abroad for higher rates."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8114] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "We have not recently. But what do you guys think of that? Noble characters & non-noble characters? I think that might be a Kinaed topic but there's nothing wrong with discussion."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8114] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "Will there be a warning before it's implemented? I feel like I should move my first wealth from an 'eventually' to a 'soon' on my XP goal sheet. I've been maneuvering my character's RP to support a father's death and inheritance as explanation for that windfall"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8120] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh states, "I don't see a problem with crafters making loads of money, myself. It's the appeal of a artisan. Assets do, also, cost money and XP to set up."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8120] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "So in a way it's self-regulating. If you're a crafter with loads of money, you will be investing that money into your assets."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8120] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "Not just building more on top of it."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8120] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz claims, "Crafters making loads of money is fine because of the ooc work involved (im a crafter) but i dont know how i feel about having a politically powerful character who also gets crafter skrilla"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8124] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz states, "I know there are a few noble pshops where the actual crafting done by the character is relegated to vnpcs so it might be unpopular to disallow that though"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8124] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz claims, "Especially if purchase silver/wealth is gone"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8130] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "Oh, something else that will be neat with assets: Becoming Gentry will be codified."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8130] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz states, "Er i mean, it feels like it could get really unbalanced when purchase wealth/silver is taken away"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8130] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart says, "Reinvest your crafter income into your assets, now your assets are the best in the game plus you have the crafter income
"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8131] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus claims, "I think that rules should be implemented about when you can have a pshop as a noble, Al."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8131] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus claims, "If your crafter is actually making the stuff, there is no problem with selling it, or having a pshop that is being stocked by another crafter."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8134] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus states, "There's no problem with having obscenely rich nobles."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8134] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz nods.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8134] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus muses, "But if it's saying that you're importing it or something, and you sell it, that's sort of what you should get an asset for it seems? Isn't it, staff?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8139] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz states, "I'd rather nobles and gentrypeople lean more towards having pshops that are stocked by player crafters or maybe via import assets"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8139] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh declares to Barcus, "Yep!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8139] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart claims, "It sounds like it will be an interesting emchanic. I just hope it doesn't make getting money much harder for non crafters "
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8142] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims to Rickart, "That was my concern as well, but after reading the spec it looks like it will have an opposite effect."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8137] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz says, "Yeah im mostly worried that a lot of the game will suddenly be off limits to certain players"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims to Rickart, "Should be much simpler and easier to make money realistically as a non-crafter with assets."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart claims, "Alrighty then. Still gonna do one wealth just to have a comfortable account before it goes in"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "Do you know if it's just gonna pop one day or if there will be announcments of warning like hey we're removing xp to silver heads up 4 weeks, 3 weeks, 2 weeks.."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "It sounds much scarier than it is, I think. Purchase silver being removed made me uneasy."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart clings to Niamh for protection
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh states, "But instead of purchasing silver for XP, you're purchasing an asset that gives you silver for XP."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "Same thing, you just describe it as an IC mechanic."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart wonders, "How about the IP effects of wealth? is that negligible? *has never played the IP game*"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh declares to Rickart, "I'm not sure, but I don't think it's likely to just be dropped on you guys unawares!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart nods.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "As of now, I don't recall seeing anything about IP in the spec"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "An asset can give you IP instead of coins, just like it can give you objects."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "What I mean is if you can't buy wealth anymore, not sure if that will impact people's IP much or not. I thought that was one of the side effects of wealth bsides the money"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart nods at Ismael.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh nods at Rickart.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "You get a one time bump of +1 IP with a wealth purchase."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh queries to Ismael, "Do you know how that'll work with assets?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "^ he said you can buy an IP-generating asset"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "It's going to be coded for us staffers to decide."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael states, "It's not an IP-generating asset but more like an option of income"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart nods.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "Ahhh."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "So you have a noble barony"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "You can probably get coins from taxes, objects you can retool for banners or whatever (I'm speculating), and maybe IP."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "It's one of the three, not all of the three."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael states, "I don't know if noble assets -will- give IP, but that's how an IP income arrangement would work."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh queries to Almaz, "Was your worry about non-crafters making money addressed, Almaz?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "Or, not making money as the case may be."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz claims, "I donttt think so, but i'll wait to hear more about it"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says to Almaz, "If you want to send a tell after the meeting, I'm happy to talk about it with you! I can even open up the spec and check for specific things."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart wonders, "So probably less argument-spawning, guild roles? (unless someone else is waiting with a question)"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz claims, "Sure"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh states, "Roles have been in the works for awhile, as far as I know. At it's most simple, it codifies the announcement board post about open app positions."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart nods.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "There's more to it than that, but at it's core it's a tool for GLs to populate guild roles."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart claims, "Okay, so it's not like rights and permissions management inside a guild"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Asala is idle.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)

Rickart asks, "And....Mooks?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart exclaims, "That's the last one!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh states, "Mooks are before my time, but from what I understand they were guild mobs that can be summoned and set to certain tasks."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh states, "That may be a good topic for Kinaed. I remember asking her about them ages ago. She explained it in a way that sounded very intriguing."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8144] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart claims, "Okay. Any idea on the etymology there? Such an odd word."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8144] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh trails off, "No idea! Meatheads, I guess..."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8144] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart claims, "Righteo. good for me."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8148] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "Ah hah: Mook - a stupid or incompetent person."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8148] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh chuckles.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8148] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart claims, "Yeah I saw that but I didn't see the connection. I guess in this case it's the sense of these are menial servants"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8148] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh nods.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8150] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)

Rickart queries, "Do people recognize and ignore OOC items if found on grid in someone's room? Like ok no they don't have this weird mask they might be doing something creepy with?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8163] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart wears a painted mask, shaped into eerily realistic human features over his face.

[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8035] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "All I have for my topic is to say that I don't have anything to say because it's been too scarce to get data for kinky and she's not here anyway"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8035] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael pontificates, "Okay!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8036] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael trails off, "Hmm. I've run some tests with Alex and are doing some brain-muscle work on a new sneaking system for us; I hope to have the spec for us Jan 1, but realistically it might be Jan 2's night. What else..."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8040] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael exclaims, "I'm working on the University Grounds, but notoriously I only made a nice garden; I hope I can work on something of it, but realistically too it might be hard to get anything done this weekend. I'll try!"

Niamh grins at Ismael.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8043] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)

[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8043] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael exclaims, "I've been handling requests. I reduced our recommend list which was starting to get big. And I've been ridiculously active to help players, where possible!"

Niamh says, "Next up is... Niamh! Which is me."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8044] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "This week I finished the mob revitalizations for the Farin Quarter, and laid out 9 distinct mobprog behaviors for the up and coming "making the NPC world feel living" project. I fielded request and typo notes as they came in, and added a Husbandry-practice area to the Alms House in North Lithmore; basically just some of the lowest level animals on hand to practice with and get going on Husbandry. This coming week I'll be going through each city district and continuing to revamp descriptions on mobs. "

[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8053] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "I'm really looking forward to that one. If anyone is interested in them or keen to give feedback, drop me a note."

Niamh wonders, "Player Heartbeat! How was RP this week? To use Kinaed's words, is anything shitting anyone?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8053] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "I should go check out the new Farin quarter then"

[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8063] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus says, "I don't think so. It would be suicidal to plan one after Christmas."

Rickart states, "Or reflecting on that, yes. I lobbied for the memorabilia today to be a Spring-Awakening nativity set b/c of that one birth rumor"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8071] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)

[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8082] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "Go for it."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8082] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael exclaims, "Shoot it!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8087] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart questions, "Kink posted the staff priorities earlier in the month, but I only re-appeared in late november so I actually don't know what the assets system is going to be, nor 'mooks' on the other items list. Is there a resource like does someone remember the chat log date for when it was presented what those are?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8087] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael declares, "I could explain it to you if that helps? I'm not very sure what OOC chat has it!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8088] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh listens to Ismael.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8088] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart says, "That works. maybe after we give these poor chaps a chance to trans back if they don't have their own Qs and know the material"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8088] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "In a nutshell, the assets system has been in the drafts for a while. The idea is the following:"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8092] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Eirian is idle.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8098] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Eirian is no longer idle.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8098] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "Remove purchase silver and purchase wealth; replace it with realistic manners of income that will adapt themselves to a player background. So... taking inspiration from the nerdy book I'm reading... imagine you're a Vandagan trader."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8098] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "(it is not talking of Vandagan but Jewish, but you know.)"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8098] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael claims, "Anyways, your income comes from (A) stuff you sell on grid and (B) stuff your char sells in his other businesses off grid."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8098] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "He might have a trading enterprise with ships that travel from duchy to duchy, or traders buying goods at low prices and selling them where they're required."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8101] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "Assets lets you get this business, get realistic income (or objects you can tool), and it adapts to your background rather than to your activity."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8101] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "You can improve your asset, or sell it, and you can absolutely compete with other assets."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8104] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh queries to Ismael, "Rather than having the unnamed wages on your "pay list", you would arrange for assets that replace it, right?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8104] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart says, "Okay. So right now people come up with their own stories on the fly for how they got that silver, now it will be more codified what the exact source is instead of you slushfunding and giving some RP explanation when you feel it's called for based on your spending. "
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8104] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael nods at Niamh.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8104] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "Yes, it will regularize your income based on the background story you provide."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8104] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael states, "It can be anything really."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8104] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart says, "I will have to go rethink exactly what his family does then yeah"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz claims, "Have you guys been talking about how crafters can already make a ridiculous amount of money compared to the rest of the players though if youre going to remove purchase silver too"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael states, "It can represent your family giving you allowances, or the money you get as a thief."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "Also, assets are metric dependant."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz says, "I feel like if you can stack noble or gentry assets on top of a pshop that could potentially be insane"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael claims, "If you have a farm it depends on economy."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "That's true. As a non crafter my money just goes down and down unless I purchase silver, but my crafter friend makes insaaaaaane money"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8108] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz nods at Rickart.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8114] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "Assets will also involve imports of items, from what I understand. A person who has connections in Vavard might import wine, jewelry, etc., from abroad for higher rates."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8114] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "We have not recently. But what do you guys think of that? Noble characters & non-noble characters? I think that might be a Kinaed topic but there's nothing wrong with discussion."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8114] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "Will there be a warning before it's implemented? I feel like I should move my first wealth from an 'eventually' to a 'soon' on my XP goal sheet. I've been maneuvering my character's RP to support a father's death and inheritance as explanation for that windfall"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8120] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh states, "I don't see a problem with crafters making loads of money, myself. It's the appeal of a artisan. Assets do, also, cost money and XP to set up."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8120] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "So in a way it's self-regulating. If you're a crafter with loads of money, you will be investing that money into your assets."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8120] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "Not just building more on top of it."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8120] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz claims, "Crafters making loads of money is fine because of the ooc work involved (im a crafter) but i dont know how i feel about having a politically powerful character who also gets crafter skrilla"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8124] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz states, "I know there are a few noble pshops where the actual crafting done by the character is relegated to vnpcs so it might be unpopular to disallow that though"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8124] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)

[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8130] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz states, "Er i mean, it feels like it could get really unbalanced when purchase wealth/silver is taken away"

[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8131] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus claims, "If your crafter is actually making the stuff, there is no problem with selling it, or having a pshop that is being stocked by another crafter."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8134] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus states, "There's no problem with having obscenely rich nobles."

Almaz nods.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8134] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Barcus muses, "But if it's saying that you're importing it or something, and you sell it, that's sort of what you should get an asset for it seems? Isn't it, staff?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8139] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz states, "I'd rather nobles and gentrypeople lean more towards having pshops that are stocked by player crafters or maybe via import assets"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8139] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh declares to Barcus, "Yep!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8139] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart claims, "It sounds like it will be an interesting emchanic. I just hope it doesn't make getting money much harder for non crafters "
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8142] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims to Rickart, "That was my concern as well, but after reading the spec it looks like it will have an opposite effect."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8137] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz says, "Yeah im mostly worried that a lot of the game will suddenly be off limits to certain players"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims to Rickart, "Should be much simpler and easier to make money realistically as a non-crafter with assets."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart claims, "Alrighty then. Still gonna do one wealth just to have a comfortable account before it goes in
"[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "Do you know if it's just gonna pop one day or if there will be announcments of warning like hey we're removing xp to silver heads up 4 weeks, 3 weeks, 2 weeks.."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "It sounds much scarier than it is, I think. Purchase silver being removed made me uneasy."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart clings to Niamh for protection
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh states, "But instead of purchasing silver for XP, you're purchasing an asset that gives you silver for XP."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "Same thing, you just describe it as an IC mechanic."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart wonders, "How about the IP effects of wealth? is that negligible? *has never played the IP game*"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh declares to Rickart, "I'm not sure, but I don't think it's likely to just be dropped on you guys unawares!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart nods.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "As of now, I don't recall seeing anything about IP in the spec"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "An asset can give you IP instead of coins, just like it can give you objects."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "What I mean is if you can't buy wealth anymore, not sure if that will impact people's IP much or not. I thought that was one of the side effects of wealth bsides the money"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart nods at Ismael.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh nods at Rickart.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "You get a one time bump of +1 IP with a wealth purchase."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh queries to Ismael, "Do you know how that'll work with assets?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart states, "^ he said you can buy an IP-generating asset"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "It's going to be coded for us staffers to decide."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael states, "It's not an IP-generating asset but more like an option of income"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart nods.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "Ahhh."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "So you have a noble barony"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "You can probably get coins from taxes, objects you can retool for banners or whatever (I'm speculating), and maybe IP."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael says, "It's one of the three, not all of the three."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Ismael states, "I don't know if noble assets -will- give IP, but that's how an IP income arrangement would work."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh queries to Almaz, "Was your worry about non-crafters making money addressed, Almaz?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "Or, not making money as the case may be."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz claims, "I donttt think so, but i'll wait to hear more about it"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says to Almaz, "If you want to send a tell after the meeting, I'm happy to talk about it with you! I can even open up the spec and check for specific things."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart wonders, "So probably less argument-spawning, guild roles? (unless someone else is waiting with a question)"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz claims, "Sure"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh states, "Roles have been in the works for awhile, as far as I know. At it's most simple, it codifies the announcement board post about open app positions."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart nods.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "There's more to it than that, but at it's core it's a tool for GLs to populate guild roles."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart claims, "Okay, so it's not like rights and permissions management inside a guild"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Asala is idle.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh nods at Rickart.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart asks, "And....Mooks?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart exclaims, "That's the last one!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh states, "Mooks are before my time, but from what I understand they were guild mobs that can be summoned and set to certain tasks."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8141] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh states, "That may be a good topic for Kinaed. I remember asking her about them ages ago. She explained it in a way that sounded very intriguing."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8144] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart claims, "Okay. Any idea on the etymology there? Such an odd word."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8144] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh trails off, "No idea! Meatheads, I guess..."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8144] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart claims, "Righteo. good for me."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8148] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh says, "Ah hah: Mook - a stupid or incompetent person."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8148] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh chuckles.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8148] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart claims, "Yeah I saw that but I didn't see the connection. I guess in this case it's the sense of these are menial servants"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8148] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh nods.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8150] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh eyes everybody, "Anything else folks want to talk about, or are you ready to return to the land of fun?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8158] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz states, "Nothing else from me"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8158] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh nods.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8158] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh declaims, "Alright, going to start transferring people back. Happy Holidays to everybody!"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8163] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart queries, "Do people recognize and ignore OOC items if found on grid in someone's room? Like ok no they don't have this weird mask they might be doing something creepy with?"
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8163] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart wears a painted mask, shaped into eerily realistic human features over his face.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8168] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart removes a painted mask, shaped into eerily realistic human features from his face.
Rickart stops using a painted mask, shaped into eerily realistic human features.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8168] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Almaz states, "There have been some problems in the past, i think staff try not to make them too suspicious these days"
(This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8168] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh nods at Almaz.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8168] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Rickart nods.
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8168] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh trails off, "Something a person could realistically possess without being burned at the stake..."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8168] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh claims, "Take care everybody, thanks for attending."
[Almaz An Khir] [none: 8174] [perfect, tired, walk] (Lithmorran) (bathed)(R)
Niamh waves.
