11:05:21p |
11:05:30p |
11:05:30p | Kinaed claims, "So, what will happen is that we will open the asset system for purchase to everyone in game."

11:05:35p |

11:07:23p |
11:07:24p | Vlora slows to a halt.
11:07:24p |
11:07:27p |
11:07:27p | Azarial says, "Let's see, an assortment of attunement bugs, string output issues, a crash I think, some polish on assets, and more poking at roles to try and masssage them into something that looks enough like guilds that it should be sorta painless to replace all of the guild references in the source. note that asset returns will be tweaked as required to get the economy up to where we want it to be."
11:07:27p |
11:08:06p |
11:08:06p | Ibrahim questions, "Hum, so you can only buy assets with xp? Can't purchase them with silver made from say a shop?"
11:08:06p |
11:08:06p |
11:08:06p | Kinaed trails off, "Just having a quick look at changes..."
11:08:06p |
11:08:08p |
11:08:08p | Azarial claims, "I think I have all of the assorted undocumented changes back in from the rollback."
11:08:08p |
11:08:09p |
11:08:09p | Moxie puts up her hand and asks, without being called upon, "What are roles?"
11:08:09p |
11:08:14p | Kaimana gets the ASSETS spec.
11:08:14p |
11:08:25p |
11:08:25p | Azarial states, "Assets need to be in the amrket to buy them for silver"
11:08:25p |
11:08:32p |
11:08:32p | Kinaed claims, "You would all have noted we have a new spell in game last week, I suppose. I think everything else was said."
11:08:32p |
11:08:47p | Kinaed states to Moxie, "Sec."
11:08:47p |
11:08:50p |
11:08:50p | Temi says, "There's the IC asset market for buying with silver."
11:08:50p |
11:08:59p | Ibrahim begins to count their money.
11:08:59p |
11:09:00p |
11:09:00p | Temi says, "We'll have to populate it after the initial grab."
11:09:00p |
11:09:03p | Kinaed has created Roles Spec[20].
11:09:03p |
11:09:07p | Kinaed drops the following:

11:09:12p | Kaimana gets Roles Spec.
11:09:12p |
11:09:13p |
11:09:13p | Azarial claims, "Roles are a better way to package up the odds and ends guilds require so that when people feel conmpelled to redo the ranks every week I do not have to continually recompile."
11:09:13p |
11:09:15p | Vlora gets Roles Spec.
11:09:15p |
11:09:15p | sayto Kinaed okay to publish that one too?
11:09:16p | Bofaha queries to Kinaed, "Okay to publish that one too?"
11:09:16p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:09:16p |
11:09:24p | Kinaed says to Bofaha, "Sure is, yep"
11:09:24p |
11:09:36p | Taunya gets Roles Spec.
11:09:36p |
11:10:04p |
11:10:04p | Kinaed states, "Any spec I hand out at OOC Chat should be considered public knowledge, and it's fine to post them, talk about them, etc."
11:10:04p |
11:10:13p |
11:10:13p | Azarial states, "Once the basic system is stable and working, rostered sops will be converted to assets."
11:10:13p |
11:10:17p |
11:10:17p | Temi claims, "But no guaranteees they won't change."
11:10:17p |
11:10:22p | Raemont gets Roles Spec.
11:10:22p |
11:10:27p | Moxie gets Roles Spec.
11:10:27p |
11:10:27p | Temi states, "Especially if you guys give good feedback."
11:10:27p |
11:10:28p | Kinaed nods at Temi.
11:10:28p |
11:10:29p | Nadya gets Roles Spec.
11:10:29p |
11:10:35p |
11:10:35p | Kinaed claims, "As has happened before"
11:10:35p |
11:10:43p |
11:10:43p | Kinaed states, "The roles spec is ANCIENT."
11:10:43p |
11:10:49p |
11:10:49p | Kinaed says, "I think it's a few years old."
11:10:49p |
11:10:55p |
11:10:55p | Ibrahim states, "I have a question about the assets implementation, when appropriate for me to ask"
11:10:55p |
11:10:58p | Kinaed nods at Ibrahim.
11:10:58p |
11:11:12p | Flaviano gets Roles Spec.
11:11:12p |
11:11:13p |
11:11:13p | Kinaed states, "Vicannia's asked for a few minutes at the end focused on asset questions, so I'll do that and note Ibrahim has a question."
11:11:13p |
11:11:22p | Ibrahim nods.
11:11:22p |
11:11:26p |
11:11:26p | Kinaed states, "If we can move on - thanks Azarial! - Temi, your turn. "
11:11:26p |
11:11:27p |
11:11:27p | Azarial states, "Mail profiles ended up forcing roles, but it is proving a bit more expansive than I had anticipated."
11:11:27p |
11:11:43p | Nadya drops Roles Spec.
11:11:43p |
11:11:50p |
11:11:50p | Temi claims, "Not a whole lot all week, but today I've been working on testing assets."
11:11:50p |
11:11:59p | Kinaed nods at Temi.
11:11:59p |
11:12:18p |
11:12:18p | Temi states, "You'll note we spun up a test instance so all the crashing has been happening there rather than here, for this particular time, even if we can't keep it up all the time."
11:12:18p |
11:12:29p | emote is jelous of temi, getting all the sexy changes before plebs does
11:12:29p |
11:12:29p | Bofaha is jelous of temi, getting all the sexy changes before plebs does
11:12:29p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:12:29p |
11:12:47p |
11:12:47p | Eirian exclaims, "Much appreciated, I'm sure!"
11:12:47p |
11:12:52p |
11:12:52p | Temi states, "And.. I will be continuing with that today and this week, getting everything finally ready for you guys."
11:12:52p |
11:13:00p |
11:13:00p | Temi states, "I will specify - we're not releasing with objects."
11:13:00p |
11:13:15p |
11:13:15p | Temi claims, "We're going to add those once we see how things play out. It'll be silver to start."
11:13:15p |
11:13:39p |
11:13:39p | Moxie wonders, "Objects?"
11:13:39p |
11:13:42p |
11:13:42p | Temi says, "And that's about what I've done."
11:13:42p |
11:13:50p | Kinaed states to Moxie, "Have a read of the spec."
11:13:50p |
11:13:53p | Moxie nods.
11:13:53p |
11:13:57p | Kinaed states to Niamh, "You're up "
11:13:57p |
11:14:05p |
11:14:05p | Niamh says, "This week I did another couple rounds of mage ash testing and did an audit (of sorts) for Voidsense -- the latter entailed testing spells to make sure that everything which should pinging Voidsense does so. I removed the Softbound Ledger recipe from Artwork due to theme issues and moved the Hardbound Ledger down several skill ranks. I can't remember if it was this week or last week, but I finished the Stockades Spec. Also made some excellent progress on Mounted Combat. "
11:14:05p |
11:14:13p | Moxie stands up.
11:14:13p |
11:14:15p | Moxie starts to move towards the south and west.
11:14:15p |
11:14:23p |
11:14:23p | Niamh pontificates, "And that's it!"
11:14:23p |
11:14:28p |
11:14:28p | Caterina pontificates, "Woo!"
11:14:28p |
11:14:36p |
11:14:36p | Temi says, "Oh, I remembered something else."
11:14:36p |
11:14:41p | sayto Niamh stockade? I don't want that in, I will be a permament occupier...
11:14:42p | Bofaha trails off to Niamh, "Stockade? I don't want that in, I will be a permament occupier..."
11:14:42p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:14:42p |
11:14:43p | Moxie gets the ASSETS spec.
11:14:43p |
11:14:50p | Niamh states to Bofaha, "I named the spec after you."
11:14:50p |
11:14:52p |
11:14:52p | Kinaed twitches her ears to Temi.
11:14:52p |
11:14:55p | grin Niamh
11:14:55p | Bofaha grins at Niamh.
11:14:55p |
11:14:57p |
11:14:57p | Niamh exclaims, "(Not really, but it would've been great!)"
11:14:57p |
11:14:59p | Niamh grins at Bofaha.
11:14:59p |
11:15:09p |
11:15:09p | Temi claims, "I also added in some placeholder items in shops where items can restock."
11:15:09p |
11:15:40p | emote muses philosophically "Well, free vegetables..."
11:15:40p |
11:15:40p | Bofaha muses philosophically "Well, free vegetables..."
11:15:40p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:15:40p |
11:15:46p |
11:15:46p | Temi claims, "The ones that can be a variety of items. I think we're planning on extending that further to all the restocks, so you can see what will load up somewhere, even if there's none available right now."
11:15:46p |
11:15:50p |
11:15:50p | Kinaed states, "Oh yeah. We realized people didn't always know where restocks of rare items happen, so we made it so players should see restocks in shops."
11:15:50p |
11:15:52p |
11:15:52p | Eirian queries, "I'm not sure what that means. Like, if there are none of that thing available, does it show 0 or something?"
11:15:52p |
11:15:58p | Kinaed questions to Niamh, "Did you finish your side of that too?"
11:15:58p |
11:16:00p | Taunya states to Niamh, "Yay mounted combat. Hope it'll play well with my horse archer stuff."
11:16:00p |
11:16:09p | Niamh says to Kinaed, "I don't think I had one. Temi mentioned she'd be sorting it."
11:16:09p |
11:16:29p |
11:16:29p | Temi claims, "I'll finish up the others this week still then."
11:16:29p |
11:16:32p | Kinaed says to Eirian, "If it's not available, it will show as a display item."
11:16:32p |
11:16:37p | Kinaed nods at Temi.
11:16:37p |
11:16:40p |
11:16:40p | Eirian states, "Gotcha."
11:16:40p |
11:16:56p | say to the hunger games for rare respawns may now begin
11:16:56p |
11:16:56p | Bofaha claims, "To the hunger games for rare respawns may now begin"
11:16:56p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:16:56p |
11:16:58p |
11:16:58p | Kinaed says, "I think that's it for Staff Updates. "
11:16:58p |
11:17:00p |
11:17:00p | Taunya says, "Ahh, I saw that on help news, but didn't see any sign of that in the shops *nods*"
11:17:00p |
11:17:01p |
11:17:01p | Temi states, "But anyways, like at Daylin's Gems, there's now an item in list: [ 1] [ DISPLAY ] displays of rare stock in interesting gems [High Economics]"
11:17:01p |
11:17:17p |
11:17:17p | Caterina claims, "INTERESTING GEMS are interesting."
11:17:17p |
11:17:20p |
11:17:20p | Eirian states, "Cool."
11:17:20p |
11:17:28p | Empena is idle.
11:17:28p |
11:17:30p |
11:17:30p | Kinaed questions, "Next - Player Heartbeat! How was RP this week, folks? Game fun?"
11:17:30p |
11:17:33p | Empena is no longer idle.
11:17:33p |
11:17:38p | Empena has returned from AFK.
11:17:38p |
11:17:42p |
11:17:42p | Vlora says, "A bit alarmed at a few of the recent leavers. "
11:17:42p |
11:17:47p | Kinaed nods at Vlora.
11:17:47p |
11:17:48p |
11:17:48p | Kaimana has been super burnt out but is slowly getting back in the groove.
11:17:48p |
11:17:52p | Moxie nods at Vlora.
11:17:52p |
11:18:05p |
11:18:05p | Lance says, "Yeah, I kinda got bummed out over that as well."
11:18:05p |
11:18:07p | Kinaed states to Vlora, "People don't like change, but progress needs to be made. Obviously, people can and do vote with their feet."
11:18:07p |
11:18:10p |
11:18:10p | Caterina exclaims, "It was super! No big complaints. Happy clam over here. Shout-out to Eirian for fun party times for the New Year. IC events are always great!"
11:18:10p |
11:18:18p | Kinaed nods at Caterina.
11:18:18p |
11:18:21p | say slooow start of the week, and then quite a bit of conflict started brewing. A bit annoyed that I can't catch some folk to rp with and follow with old plots, so started many new ones
11:18:22p |
11:18:22p | Bofaha states, "Slooow start of the week, and then quite a bit of conflict started brewing. A bit annoyed that I can't catch some folk to rp with and follow with old plots, so started many new ones "
11:18:22p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:18:22p |
11:18:30p |
11:18:30p | Kinaed exclaims, "Yes, a thank you from Staff to Eirian for running yet another event!"
11:18:30p |
11:18:35p |
11:18:35p | Eirian claims, "Thanks to everyone who attended the event on Wednesday. I've been a little behind on my recommendations, but I appreciate everyone who stopped by -- even if I couldn't keep up with ALL the emotes."
11:18:35p |
11:18:36p |
11:18:36p | Ibrahim queries, "Who left?"
11:18:36p |
11:18:42p |
11:18:42p | Taunya states, "I've got several threads of RP going, a bit slow, but should be fun when they progress a bit more."
11:18:42p |
11:18:43p |
11:18:43p | Moxie claims, "Really fun. Eirian hosted a party, and everything about it was really well hosted and thought out. There's been some good roleplay with the Tubori re: racism, but there aren't a lot of players who enforce laws at the moment."
11:18:43p |
11:18:47p | Kinaed says to Ibrahim, "Jakob and Rimilde, but Rimilde returned."
11:18:47p |
11:19:00p |
11:19:00p | Nadya claims, "A bit shocked at recent leavings, but overall good. I feel like people here are not only strong enough RPwise to pick up the slack, but also do good with the conflict that'll ensue."
11:19:00p |
11:19:02p |
11:19:02p | Vlora questions, "Oh she did?"
11:19:02p |
11:19:04p | sayto Moxie that is why normal folk carry knives too!
11:19:04p | Bofaha pontificates to Moxie, "That is why normal folk carry knives too!"
11:19:04p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:19:04p |
11:19:06p | Kinaed nods at Vlora.
11:19:06p |
11:19:06p |
11:19:06p | Kaimana currently doesn't have much on any of his alts. hnd, and unsure how to go about things.
11:19:06p |
11:19:12p |
11:19:12p | Ibrahim states, "Yeah they came back and took their post down like it never happened."
11:19:12p |
11:19:14p |
11:19:14p | Vicannia nods in agreeance with Vlora "Bit shocked about that as well, not entirely surprised but still shocked. But aside from that, rp has been rather fun this week. Logged on to check mail, had no plan of rping, but ended up in a roughly 4 hour scene. Earned jack diddly squat in terms of xp from it, but it was fun."
11:19:14p |
11:19:24p |
11:19:24p | Vlora cheers that the reeves ain't dead!
11:19:24p |
11:19:42p | Kinaed states to Vlora, "It'd take more than one person leaving to kill a guild, friend."
11:19:42p |
11:19:52p |
11:19:52p | Vlora claims, "True. "
11:19:52p |
11:20:10p |
11:20:10p | Moxie asks, "What's that leaving quote about planting seeds, Caterina?"
11:20:10p |
11:20:18p | Vicannia questions to Kinaed, "Do you actually know it was because of changes that they left?"
11:20:18p |
11:20:26p |
11:20:26p | Kaimana says, "That's sad."
11:20:26p |
11:20:40p |
11:20:40p | Kinaed queries, "Anything shitting people about the game at the moment that staff should know about? Besides Purchase Silver going away, because we expect people to be upset, but it's a necessary evil?"
11:20:40p |
11:20:40p |
11:20:40p | Flaviano "As a Newb, I have been really enjoying my encounters with different chars. I am learning that I have the sense of direction of of a blind gerbil. People have been really helpful and tolerant of my questions, though... I think." Flaviano points out
11:20:40p |
11:20:43p |
11:20:43p | Temi says, "We did get a note from Jakob about his reasons."
11:20:43p |
11:20:49p | Kinaed nods at Temi.
11:20:49p |
11:21:06p |
11:21:06p | Caterina claims, "Oh crap. Veilus was the one who got all deep about it. Um. I forget. But it was a very philosophical seed quote."
11:21:06p |
11:21:07p | emote sleepingly mumbles towards /flaviano about beer

11:21:07p |
11:21:17p |
11:21:17p | Caterina exclaims, "Flaviano, you're doing great! "
11:21:17p |
11:21:28p | Taunya declares to Flaviano, "Always happy to help if you need it!"
11:21:28p |
11:21:42p | Kinaed says to Vicannia, "Jakob wrote a very polite mail saying it was because of the change to Will to Power and a general feeling that staff were against mages."
11:21:42p |
11:21:53p |
11:21:53p | Moxie claims, "Flaviano is a good player. I'll seek you out, myself or an alt, for a scene Flav-e-flav."
11:21:53p |
11:22:00p | Kinaed declares to Flaviano, "I'm glad you've been having fun!"
11:22:00p |
11:22:20p |
11:22:20p | Kaimana claims, "Alessandro is always up for RP usually. So I'll try and make time for scenes."
11:22:20p |
11:22:22p |
11:22:22p | Vlora states, "Otherwise, loads of fun on this character. Getting involved in so much goop."
11:22:22p |
11:22:24p | sayto Kinaed doesn't that change like every few months whos side staff is on apparently?
11:22:24p | Empena waves to Flaviano.
11:22:24p | Bofaha muses to Kinaed, "Doesn't that change like every few months whos side staff is on apparently?"
11:22:24p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:22:24p |
11:22:29p | say Make your mind already!

11:22:30p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:22:30p |
11:22:38p | Kinaed says to Bofaha, "Probably. "

11:22:40p |
11:22:40p | Bofaha cackles with madness

11:22:40p |
11:22:44p |
11:22:44p | Ibrahim says, "Changes have sort've gone both ways over time. Unfortunately, folks tend to get a bit worked up if a change negatively impacts them, which is kind've understandable."
11:22:44p |
11:22:46p | Vicannia states to Kinaed, "Just had wanted to check. I know it's easy with the amount of changes recently to blame changes for the reason people are leaving, though that shouldn't be the first thing we jump but, but if he provided reasoning then ignore me as I wasn't aware."
11:22:46p |
11:22:46p |
11:22:46p | Taunya says, "Honestly, it says right in the character generation that playing a mage 'will' get you killed. and it hasn't been such a guarantee for a long time."
11:22:46p |
11:22:48p |
11:22:48p | Eirian states, "As someone who played probably the most maxed out mage for several years, I think the change to Will to Power was a long time coming -- and ultimately probably for the best."
11:22:48p |
11:23:01p |
11:23:01p | Kinaed states, "No other Player Heartbeat material? If not, I'm happy to move to Player Topics. "
11:23:01p |
11:23:03p |
11:23:03p | Eirian states, "It was OP. ^_^"
11:23:03p |
11:23:09p |
11:23:09p | Ibrahim says, "Indeed it was"
11:23:09p |
11:23:12p |
11:23:12p | Kaimana says, "It was super op."
11:23:12p |
11:23:19p |
11:23:19p | Vicannia claims, "Will to power, what little I used it, was quite over powered."
11:23:19p |
11:23:22p | Niamh nods in agreement.
11:23:22p |
11:23:25p | say oh my int wimp suddenly can lift a mountain, nah not op at all
11:23:25p |
11:23:25p | Bofaha says, "Oh my int wimp suddenly can lift a mountain, nah not op at all"

11:23:25p |
11:23:30p |
11:23:30p | Moxie asks, "What is this 'will to power' thing?"
11:23:30p |
11:23:37p |
11:23:37p | Vlora claims, "Dirty mages, Moxie. "
11:23:37p |
11:23:47p |
11:23:47p | Flaviano gives two big thumbs up, and potatoes for everyone.
11:23:47p |
11:23:47p |
11:23:47p | Ibrahim claims, "Some mages used to roll characters completely gimped on strength, dex, and con, and overpower their mental stats"
11:23:47p |
11:23:49p |
11:23:49p | Empena states, "I have a thought for later, if there is time."
11:23:49p |
11:23:49p | Vicannia claims to Moxie, "It's a spell. Swapped certain stats."
11:23:49p |
11:23:53p | Kinaed says to Moxie, "It was a spell that filled in your str, con, and dex with your int/wis or something like that."
11:23:53p |
11:23:53p | Ibrahim claims, "Then use WtP to take advantage of that"
11:23:53p |
11:23:53p |
11:23:53p | Niamh says, "It's still pretty beefy for the lowest level spell of its kind, but it's at least sane now."
11:23:53p |
11:24:03p |
11:24:03p | Nadya claims, "Dirty, nasty mages."
11:24:03p |
11:24:04p |
11:24:04p | Caterina says, "Yeah, let's not talk mage mechanics too deeply please. I like being in the dark about it both IC and OOC."
11:24:04p |
11:24:06p |
11:24:06p | Moxie says, "Ah, thanks."
11:24:06p |
11:24:11p |
11:24:11p | Caterina knows nothing. Like Jon Snow.
11:24:11p |
11:24:12p | nod Caterina
11:24:12p | Bofaha nods at Caterina.
11:24:12p |
11:24:21p |
11:24:21p | Ibrahim claims, "Can't really blame them. It's just using the system to its potential. But it was broken."
11:24:21p |
11:24:37p | Moxie nods at Ibrahim.
11:24:37p |
11:24:46p |
11:24:46p | Kinaed claims, "We have no issues with people who made the best of it; we just changed it because we deemed, as most people have said here, the spell to be overpowered."
11:24:46p |
11:25:01p |
11:25:01p | Kinaed exclaims, "Okay, people ready...? Player Topics!"
11:25:01p |
11:25:15p | Kinaed questions to Caterina, "You're up first. Please introduce us to your topic?"
11:25:15p |
11:25:29p |
11:25:29p | Caterina states, "Boom! I just have a couple of things I would like to bring up. Food for thought things that I've noticed this week (and the week before but not as much)."
11:25:29p |
11:25:31p |
11:25:31p | Caterina says, "I would first just like to briefly mention something about the rumors as I've noticed a bit more of this as of late this past week. The 'circle' of the rumor is who is talking about that rumor. So if the rumor is in the Freemen circle, all replies to the rumor should be made from the POV of a freeman. If it's in the Merchants circle, it should be from the POV of a merchant. Nobility, from the POV of a noble, etc. So, for example, if there was a Freeman rumor about how Freemen are great and awesome and kick ass, someone shouldn't be replying to it all like FREEMEN ARE DIRTY, FILTHY BEASTS. Or if there was a noble rumor, someone shouldn't be replying to it like NOBLES ARE PANSIES AND SUCK. These are exaggerated examples, but I'm sure you catch my drift. That is all with that one."
11:25:31p |
11:25:52p | Kinaed nods at Caterina.
11:25:52p |
11:26:02p |
11:26:02p | Caterina says, "The next 'food for thought' is about osays. I've been involved in a lot of group scenes here lately where people were tossing out osays like beads at a Mardi Gras parade (alas, minus the boobies). Please keep in mind that osays are very distracting and break immersion for some people. If you're just dropping an osay to say 'lol' or otherwise comment on the RP or lament your RP skills, that is probably not a good reason to break up a scene. I'm personally of the opinion that 'brb' and 'afk' osays in a huge scene are probably not necessary unless you're the one leading the scene (say at a meeting or party). Otherwise, you can probably just send a tell to the person you're directly RPing with in that big scene to let them know you're going brb or afk for a second. Or even 'I gotta go' osays. You can just as easily excuse yourself ICly. But that's just a personal opinion. You do you."
11:26:02p |
11:26:05p |
11:26:05p | Kinaed states, "Caterina is correct, please check the circle to see where the rumor is floating around."
11:26:05p |
11:26:13p |
11:26:13p | Kinaed questions, "Slow down a moment, Caterina?"
11:26:13p |
11:26:23p |
11:26:23p | Caterina says, "SORRY. Yes. I am slowing down."
11:26:23p |
11:26:26p | Kinaed smiles.
11:26:26p |
11:26:29p |
11:26:29p | Kinaed pontificates, "No worries!"
11:26:29p |
11:26:36p |
11:26:36p | Kinaed questions, "Anyone have any thoughts re: rumors and circles?"
11:26:36p |
11:26:50p |
11:26:50p | Margaux states, "It would be nice if rumor locations could also tied to an appropriate circle. (ie, you get noble rumors popping at the palace, merchant rumors at the golden coin)"
11:26:50p |
11:27:09p |
11:27:09p | Vlora claims, "I've never really thought about it like that - I always thought the circle is sorta' where it came from, and the type of person who spread it. I didn't realise it should stick to those circles."
11:27:09p |
11:27:11p |
11:27:11p | Temi says, "I'd say it doesn't necessarily have to be said by a merchant, said by a freeman, etc, just has to fit with the discussions of it in their circle."
11:27:11p |
11:27:12p | sayto Kinaed I don't think that helpfile explains that at all/well, but yea, and this should help people post more rumors. Also could we maybe remove the restriction of going to raverns to post new ones?
11:27:12p |
11:27:12p | Empena says, "I've a thought sort of related to all that."
11:27:12p | Kinaed nods at Margaux.
11:27:12p |
11:27:12p | Bofaha asks of Kinaed, "I don't think that helpfile explains that at all/well, but yea, and this should help people post more rumors. Also could we maybe remove the restriction of going to raverns to post new ones?"
11:27:12p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:27:12p |
11:27:16p |
11:27:16p | Vicannia queries, "The whole rumor thing seems a bit odd. You are telling me that if someone creates a rumor, labels the circle as freemen and the rumor is about how horrible nobles are, or how great freemen are, no one is allowed to reply with opposition to said rumor, because the topic is the same as the circle?"
11:27:16p |
11:27:24p | Taunya claims to Margaux, "I think that would be nice, but would take a lot of work."
11:27:24p |
11:27:37p | Kinaed claims to Vlora, "Nah, it's supposed to be saying where that rumor is going around, and the theme should reflect the circle."
11:27:37p |
11:27:43p |
11:27:43p | Kinaed says, "I might do a PSA on that so people know."
11:27:43p |
11:27:46p |
11:27:46p | Caterina claims, "You don't have to be in a tavern to post new ones. I post new rumors all over the place."
11:27:46p |
11:27:55p |
11:27:55p | Kaimana states, "Please do. Rumors are still like buah? to me."
11:27:55p |
11:28:10p |
11:28:10p | Nadya says, "Honestly, I create really racist/classist rumors to bring this point up."
11:28:10p |
11:28:11p |
11:28:11p | Robin says, "It would be helpful if you could update HELP RUMOUR to reflect that"
11:28:11p |
11:28:19p |
11:28:19p | Vicannia says, "I've always taken the circles as how one should reply, in terms of speech and wording. Don't want an uppity noble with their fancy speak replying to a lowborn scum freemen rumor"
11:28:19p |
11:28:33p | sayto Caterina you can promote/quash from anywhere, but last time i tried to create a new one, it told me that's not a good place to do so. Granted I was in an outhouse, but stil...
11:28:33p | Bofaha trails off to Caterina, "You can promote/quash from anywhere, but last time i tried to create a new one, it told me that's not a good place to do so. Granted I was in an outhouse, but stil..."

11:28:33p |
11:28:48p |
11:28:48p | Caterina says, "I created a rumor in a back room of a store."
11:28:48p |
11:28:50p |
11:28:50p | Moxie claims, "I think this is a lot of opinion. I'd like this clarified in a help scroll as I hadn't heard this until now."
11:28:50p |
11:28:53p |
11:28:53p | Caterina says, "I was whispering it to myself, I think."
11:29:04p |
11:29:18p | Kinaed nods at Moxie.
11:29:18p |
11:29:26p |
11:29:26p | Kinaed says, "I'll clarify the help file and make a general board post"
11:29:26p |
11:29:30p |
11:29:30p | Nadya states, "I can say it's very strange, creating a freemen-centric rumor, and having weighty noble-type speech, or a nobility-centric rumor, and having the random bum from Iolade put in his two cents."
11:29:30p |
11:29:31p | cheer Kinaed
11:29:32p | Unrecognized command. Perhaps you meant the following:
11:29:32p | carry
11:29:32p |
11:29:32p |
11:29:35p |
11:29:35p | Caterina declares, "Thank you, Kinaed!"
11:29:35p |
11:29:45p | Kinaed nods at Nadya.
11:29:45p |
11:29:48p |
11:29:48p | Caterina says, "And agreed, Nadya."
11:29:48p |
11:29:49p | Moxie nods at Nadya.
11:29:49p |
11:29:57p |
11:29:57p | Caterina states, "Are we ready to move on to the next food for thought? I can repost it."
11:29:57p |
11:30:05p |
11:30:05p | Vicannia nod's in agreeance with Nadya "Exactly, though allowing no opposition because of a topic and circle seems... strange."
11:30:05p |
11:30:23p |
11:30:23p | Nadya says, "Then oppose it in Freemen or Noble style."
11:30:23p |
11:30:28p |
11:30:28p | Caterina says, "Well, Vicannia, if the freemen have a rumor bashing nobles, the nobles can have an opposing rumor. Like the ones right now."
11:30:28p |
11:30:33p |
11:30:33p | Kinaed states, "We want to keep rumors open to participation, but we also want to see different themes play out that are, well, thematic. That won't happen if the perspective of a rumor cycle isn't upheld."
11:30:33p |
11:30:49p |
11:30:49p | Kaimana states, "Personally I just kind of leave it be because frankly to try and be themely with such a comoplex thing is just way too much effort for me."
11:30:49p |
11:30:51p |
11:30:51p | Temi claims, "There's certainly room for a wide variety of opposition. There's definitely freemen who believe in the current system and people staying in their place, as is right and Davite."
11:30:51p |
11:30:55p |
11:30:55p | Kinaed claims, "Another option might be to flag replies with which perspective they're from, but that's a code change."
11:30:55p |
11:31:02p | Kinaed nods at Temi.
11:31:02p |
11:31:25p | Kinaed states to Caterina, "Okay, I think we've probably discussed that enough to get an idea of people's thoughts."
11:31:25p |
11:31:26p | Vicannia wonders to Kinaed, ""So if I play a freemen, who doesn't agree with a freemen circle rumor narrative, I don't have the right for my character to speak up in the rumor mill against it?""
11:31:26p |
11:31:36p | Kinaed wonders to Caterina, "Next one?"
11:31:36p |
11:31:40p |
11:31:40p | Margaux muses, "Perhaps if people could see their 'native' rumors differentiated on the list that would help? (ie, as a noble councilperson, my appropriate rumors would be highlighted or set apart)"
11:31:40p |
11:31:44p | Kinaed states to Vicannia, "No one said that."
11:31:44p |
11:31:51p | sayto Vicannia rumors don't have to come from your character
11:31:51p | Bofaha says to Vicannia, "Rumors don't have to come from your character"
11:31:51p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:31:51p |
11:32:04p | Kinaed nods at Margaux.
11:32:04p |
11:32:22p | Vicannia states to Kinaed, "That is what I'm hearing. The jist of what I'm understanding is that a reply to a rumor can not go against, or opposition, of the original rumor."
11:32:22p |
11:32:23p |
11:32:23p | Temi claims, "Exactly the opposite. They should just keep within the circle, and respond as a freeman, whether they agree or not."
11:32:23p |
11:32:29p |
11:32:29p | Caterina states, "Vicannia, Temi just said the exact opposite of that. Hang on. Let me scroll up."
11:32:29p |
11:32:40p | Ibrahim claims to Vicannia, "It just means that a Noble commenting in a Freeman circle would be odd."
11:32:40p |
11:32:40p |
11:32:40p | Caterina claims, "Temi claims, "There's certainly room for a wide variety of opposition. There's definitely freemen who believe in the current system and people staying in their place, as is right and Davite.""
11:32:40p |
11:32:56p | Nadya says to Vicannia, "What was stated, was that you just need to write from another perspective, in order to sensibly be able to respond and affect that circle. For example, noble-type and freemen-type gossipmongerers (Bar wench/scullery maid) need to be able to deliver lines that make somewhat sense."
11:32:56p |
11:33:02p | Vicannia states to Caterina, "Ah, I had missed that in the amount of replies. Thank you"
11:33:02p |
11:33:06p | Kinaed says to Vicannia, "No staff member said that, we said keep the perspective to the circle of the rumor it was posted in. IE, if it's a noble rumor, post replies as if nobles are talking about it instead of the random freeman who didn't have access to the rumor."
11:33:06p |
11:33:10p |
11:33:10p | Temi declaims, "So a freeman rumor could be 'Down with the nobles!' with opposition 'No, we ought to stay in our places!' but not 'Eww, you disgusting filth be quiet'"
11:33:10p |
11:33:12p |
11:33:12p | Nadya claims, "A freeman would have no issue affecting a freeman topic."
11:33:12p |
11:33:21p |
11:33:21p | Caterina claims, "Exactly, Temi."
11:33:21p |
11:33:33p |
11:33:33p | Caterina says, "ALRIGHT. Next wall o' text incoming."
11:33:33p |
11:33:34p | Kinaed nods at Nadya.
11:33:34p |
11:33:35p |
11:33:35p | Caterina states, "The next 'food for thought' is about osays. I've been involved in a lot of group scenes here lately where people were tossing out osays like beads at a Mardi Gras parade (alas, minus the boobies). Please keep in mind that osays are very distracting and break immersion for some people. If you're just dropping an osay to say 'lol' or otherwise comment on the RP or lament your RP skills, that is probably not a good reason to break up a scene. I'm personally of the opinion that 'brb' and 'afk' osays in a huge scene are probably not necessary unless you're the one leading the scene (say at a meeting or party). Otherwise, you can probably just send a tell to the person you're directly RPing with in that big scene to let them know you're going brb or afk for a second. Or even 'I gotta go' osays. You can just as easily excuse yourself ICly. But that's just a personal opinion. You do you."
11:33:35p |
11:33:40p |
11:33:40p | Moxie claims, "I think the confusion comes from a lot of nobles and gentry mingling with freemen in the game at the moment."
11:33:40p |
11:33:49p | Kinaed nods at Moxie.
11:33:49p |
11:33:57p |
11:33:57p | Kinaed says, "We're too small to make those boundaries more rigid."
11:33:57p |
11:34:00p |
11:34:00p | Moxie says, "To caterina I'm very pro limited osays."
11:34:00p |
11:34:01p |
11:34:01p | Kinaed claims, "Now, OSAYS."
11:34:01p |
11:34:21p |
11:34:21p | Kinaed says, "Thank you for the reminder, Caterina, I agree with you categorically, with the understanding that osays exist because they're necessary."
11:34:21p |
11:34:29p |
11:34:29p | Caterina asks, "Osaaaaays what what. Andruid posted up a great topic on the forum about how to create an immersive RP experience in which they touched on osays and such. I think it's a great read myself. BOOM. Linky: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1357"
11:34:29p |
11:34:29p |
11:34:29p | Moxie claims, "Though sometimes I'm worried a lot of people are sticking to a rigid turns pattern, so I feel I have to excuse myself if I need to go AFK"
11:34:29p |
11:34:54p |
11:34:54p | Eirian states, "I have a blog post and guide to preserving immersion, that discusses things like osays, in case anyone's interested: http://ti-legacy.com/andruid-journal/cr ... xperience/"
11:34:54p |
11:35:02p |
11:35:02p | Nadya says, "I find osays important, if you're going AFK. It helps notify a group you need to leave. However... As for the turn-pattern, I find it necessary."
11:35:02p |
11:35:03p |
11:35:03p | Caterina says, "Lmao Eirian"
11:35:03p |
11:35:08p |
11:35:08p | Eirian chuckles.
11:35:08p |
11:35:16p |
11:35:16p | Vicannia states, "The only times I typically use osay is when I am about to leave a scene. I like to make sure I'm not leaving a scene as someone is about to reply towards my character, as that is annoying when it happens to me.""
11:35:16p |
11:35:17p | Niamh nods at Nadya.
11:35:17p |
11:35:21p |
11:35:21p | Kinaed says, "I think we need something for turn taking like was suggested on the forums, even if it's just 'I'm participating' and 'I'm not' or something. But we're not in a place where that is specced out. I think a staff member has it in their todo list."
11:35:21p |
11:35:22p |
11:35:22p | Nadya claims, "If you don't have a turn pattern, people get lost in the tide with people who can print out paaragraphs at a time."
11:35:22p |
11:35:27p |
11:35:27p | Temi claims, "The stuff that affects your availability as an OOC thing which affecgts IC is entirely valid use of osays."
11:35:27p |
11:35:34p |
11:35:34p | Caterina claims, "Great minds and such. I agree osays are necessary. I have just seen a LOT of them lately. Like things like 'lol' or 'I suck at this'"
11:35:34p |
11:35:38p |
11:35:38p | Temi says, "But please do keep the other stuff down, like throwing out silly comments."
11:35:38p |
11:35:40p |
11:35:40p | Caterina says, "So just wanted to bring it up."
11:35:40p |
11:35:42p |
11:35:42p | Kaimana claims, "I actually am a big fan of free posing especially in large scenes, I cannot wait sometimes for five really long turn takers especially when I have to go, but that's just imo."

11:01:36p | Kinaed has transferred Kaimana. [OOC]
11:01:36p |
11:01:38p |
11:01:38p | Caterina states, "I have a couple of things I would like to bring up. Not suggestions, just food for thought."
11:01:38p |
11:01:44p | Temi gives a pair of miniature ice skates with lacings tied into a bow to Kaimana.
11:01:44p |
11:02:02p | Kinaed says to Caterina, "Noted. Please type up your topic introduction so you're ready to go when called upon"
11:02:02p |
11:02:38p |
11:02:38p | Moxie states, "I have a suggestion or two I'd like to make. Sorry Az in advance."
11:02:38p |
11:02:49p | Kinaed says to Moxie, "Noted Please pre-type."
11:02:49p |
11:02:53p |

11:03:14p | Flaviano shakes his head.
11:03:14p |
11:03:15p | Niamh claims to Kaimana, "Ooh, I love your name."
11:03:15p |
11:03:16p | Kinaed questions to Kaimana, "Hehe, what if you're not though? "
11:03:16p |
11:03:28p |
11:03:28p | Kaimana grins. "It's kaimana kainalu!"

11:03:50p |
11:04:09p |
11:04:09p | Kinaed claims, "I green lighted Assets, which will be officially in game next week."
11:04:09p |
11:04:17p |

11:04:42p | Ibrahim questions, "How much XP is it gonna be?"
11:04:42p |
11:04:44p | Niamh nods in agreement with Bofaha.
11:04:44p |
11:04:51p | sayto Kinaed does that come together with removal of xp to silver?
11:04:52p | Bofaha queries to Kinaed, "Does that come together with removal of xp to silver?"
11:04:52p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:04:52p |
11:04:53p | Kinaed wonders to Temi, "Do we have general figures?"

11:04:57p | Kinaed nods at Bofaha.
11:04:57p |
11:04:58p |
11:04:58p | Flaviano asks, "Assets? "
11:04:58p |
11:05:06p | Niamh gets the ASSETS spec.
11:05:06p |
11:05:07p | Kinaed claims to Flaviano, "There's a spec here somewhere."
11:05:07p |
11:05:08p |
11:05:08p | Ibrahim muses, "And do we get at least a starting asset for basic income?"

11:05:13p | Temi claims, "I believe xp costs are in the spec, yes."
11:05:13p |
11:05:21p |
11:05:21p | Margaux muses, "Will this xp be refundable on death, out of interest?"
11:05:21p |
11:05:30p |
11:05:30p | Kinaed claims, "So, what will happen is that we will open the asset system for purchase to everyone in game."
11:05:30p |
11:05:35p | Kinaed nods at Margaux.
11:05:35p |
11:05:41p | Taunya trails off to Niamh, "Was reading that..."
11:05:41p |
11:05:43p |
11:05:43p | Kinaed says, "Yes, assets are refundable."
11:05:43p |
11:05:46p |
11:05:46p | Caterina says, "Can we get those specs again, please? I lost my copy when we had our big crash thingy."
11:05:46p |
11:05:48p |
11:05:48p | Margaux smiles.
11:05:48p |
11:06:06p | Niamh has created the ASSETS spec[1].

11:06:28p |

11:06:48p |
11:06:53p |
11:06:53p | Flaviano nods and smiles, "THANKS!", then looking concerned, "Oooo, it's heavy."
11:06:53p |
11:06:55p | Niamh trails off to Temi, "You and your reasonable solutions..."
11:06:55p |

11:07:24p | Vlora slows to a halt.
11:07:24p |
11:07:27p |
11:07:27p | Azarial says, "Let's see, an assortment of attunement bugs, string output issues, a crash I think, some polish on assets, and more poking at roles to try and masssage them into something that looks enough like guilds that it should be sorta painless to replace all of the guild references in the source. note that asset returns will be tweaked as required to get the economy up to where we want it to be."
11:07:27p |
11:08:06p |
11:08:06p | Ibrahim questions, "Hum, so you can only buy assets with xp? Can't purchase them with silver made from say a shop?"
11:08:06p |
11:08:06p |
11:08:06p | Kinaed trails off, "Just having a quick look at changes..."
11:08:06p |
11:08:08p |
11:08:08p | Azarial claims, "I think I have all of the assorted undocumented changes back in from the rollback."
11:08:08p |
11:08:09p |
11:08:09p | Moxie puts up her hand and asks, without being called upon, "What are roles?"
11:08:09p |
11:08:14p | Kaimana gets the ASSETS spec.
11:08:14p |
11:08:25p |
11:08:25p | Azarial states, "Assets need to be in the amrket to buy them for silver"
11:08:25p |
11:08:32p |
11:08:32p | Kinaed claims, "You would all have noted we have a new spell in game last week, I suppose. I think everything else was said."
11:08:32p |
11:08:47p | Kinaed states to Moxie, "Sec."
11:08:47p |
11:08:50p |
11:08:50p | Temi says, "There's the IC asset market for buying with silver."
11:08:50p |
11:08:59p | Ibrahim begins to count their money.
11:08:59p |
11:09:00p |
11:09:00p | Temi says, "We'll have to populate it after the initial grab."
11:09:00p |
11:09:03p | Kinaed has created Roles Spec[20].
11:09:03p |
11:09:07p | Kinaed drops the following:
11:09:07p | ( 20)Roles Spec
11:09:07p |

11:09:10p | Bofaha gets Roles Spec.
11:09:10p |
11:09:12p | Caterina gets Roles Spec.
11:09:12p |
11:09:12p | Kaimana gets Roles Spec.
11:09:12p |
11:09:13p |
11:09:13p | Azarial claims, "Roles are a better way to package up the odds and ends guilds require so that when people feel conmpelled to redo the ranks every week I do not have to continually recompile."
11:09:13p |
11:09:15p | Vlora gets Roles Spec.
11:09:15p |
11:09:15p | sayto Kinaed okay to publish that one too?
11:09:16p | Bofaha queries to Kinaed, "Okay to publish that one too?"
11:09:16p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:09:16p |
11:09:24p | Kinaed says to Bofaha, "Sure is, yep"
11:09:24p |
11:09:36p | Taunya gets Roles Spec.
11:09:36p |
11:10:04p |
11:10:04p | Kinaed states, "Any spec I hand out at OOC Chat should be considered public knowledge, and it's fine to post them, talk about them, etc."
11:10:04p |
11:10:13p |
11:10:13p | Azarial states, "Once the basic system is stable and working, rostered sops will be converted to assets."
11:10:13p |
11:10:17p |
11:10:17p | Temi claims, "But no guaranteees they won't change."
11:10:17p |
11:10:22p | Raemont gets Roles Spec.
11:10:22p |
11:10:27p | Moxie gets Roles Spec.
11:10:27p |
11:10:27p | Temi states, "Especially if you guys give good feedback."
11:10:27p |
11:10:28p | Kinaed nods at Temi.
11:10:28p |
11:10:29p | Nadya gets Roles Spec.
11:10:29p |
11:10:35p |
11:10:35p | Kinaed claims, "As has happened before"
11:10:35p |
11:10:43p |
11:10:43p | Kinaed states, "The roles spec is ANCIENT."
11:10:43p |
11:10:49p |
11:10:49p | Kinaed says, "I think it's a few years old."
11:10:49p |
11:10:55p |
11:10:55p | Ibrahim states, "I have a question about the assets implementation, when appropriate for me to ask"
11:10:55p |
11:10:58p | Kinaed nods at Ibrahim.
11:10:58p |
11:11:12p | Flaviano gets Roles Spec.
11:11:12p |
11:11:13p |
11:11:13p | Kinaed states, "Vicannia's asked for a few minutes at the end focused on asset questions, so I'll do that and note Ibrahim has a question."
11:11:13p |
11:11:22p | Ibrahim nods.
11:11:22p |
11:11:26p |
11:11:26p | Kinaed states, "If we can move on - thanks Azarial! - Temi, your turn. "
11:11:26p |
11:11:27p |
11:11:27p | Azarial states, "Mail profiles ended up forcing roles, but it is proving a bit more expansive than I had anticipated."
11:11:27p |
11:11:43p | Nadya drops Roles Spec.
11:11:43p |
11:11:50p |
11:11:50p | Temi claims, "Not a whole lot all week, but today I've been working on testing assets."
11:11:50p |
11:11:59p | Kinaed nods at Temi.
11:11:59p |
11:12:18p |
11:12:18p | Temi states, "You'll note we spun up a test instance so all the crashing has been happening there rather than here, for this particular time, even if we can't keep it up all the time."
11:12:18p |
11:12:29p | emote is jelous of temi, getting all the sexy changes before plebs does
11:12:29p |
11:12:29p | Bofaha is jelous of temi, getting all the sexy changes before plebs does
11:12:29p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:12:29p |
11:12:47p |
11:12:47p | Eirian exclaims, "Much appreciated, I'm sure!"
11:12:47p |
11:12:52p |
11:12:52p | Temi states, "And.. I will be continuing with that today and this week, getting everything finally ready for you guys."
11:12:52p |
11:13:00p |
11:13:00p | Temi states, "I will specify - we're not releasing with objects."
11:13:00p |
11:13:15p |
11:13:15p | Temi claims, "We're going to add those once we see how things play out. It'll be silver to start."
11:13:15p |
11:13:39p |
11:13:39p | Moxie wonders, "Objects?"
11:13:39p |
11:13:42p |
11:13:42p | Temi says, "And that's about what I've done."
11:13:42p |
11:13:50p | Kinaed states to Moxie, "Have a read of the spec."
11:13:50p |
11:13:53p | Moxie nods.
11:13:53p |
11:13:57p | Kinaed states to Niamh, "You're up "
11:13:57p |
11:14:05p |
11:14:05p | Niamh says, "This week I did another couple rounds of mage ash testing and did an audit (of sorts) for Voidsense -- the latter entailed testing spells to make sure that everything which should pinging Voidsense does so. I removed the Softbound Ledger recipe from Artwork due to theme issues and moved the Hardbound Ledger down several skill ranks. I can't remember if it was this week or last week, but I finished the Stockades Spec. Also made some excellent progress on Mounted Combat. "
11:14:05p |
11:14:13p | Moxie stands up.
11:14:13p |
11:14:15p | Moxie starts to move towards the south and west.
11:14:15p |
11:14:23p |
11:14:23p | Niamh pontificates, "And that's it!"
11:14:23p |
11:14:28p |
11:14:28p | Caterina pontificates, "Woo!"
11:14:28p |
11:14:36p |
11:14:36p | Temi says, "Oh, I remembered something else."
11:14:36p |
11:14:41p | sayto Niamh stockade? I don't want that in, I will be a permament occupier...
11:14:42p | Bofaha trails off to Niamh, "Stockade? I don't want that in, I will be a permament occupier..."
11:14:42p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:14:42p |
11:14:43p | Moxie gets the ASSETS spec.
11:14:43p |
11:14:50p | Niamh states to Bofaha, "I named the spec after you."
11:14:50p |
11:14:52p |
11:14:52p | Kinaed twitches her ears to Temi.
11:14:52p |
11:14:55p | grin Niamh
11:14:55p | Bofaha grins at Niamh.
11:14:55p |
11:14:57p |
11:14:57p | Niamh exclaims, "(Not really, but it would've been great!)"
11:14:57p |
11:14:59p | Niamh grins at Bofaha.
11:14:59p |
11:15:09p |
11:15:09p | Temi claims, "I also added in some placeholder items in shops where items can restock."
11:15:09p |
11:15:40p | emote muses philosophically "Well, free vegetables..."
11:15:40p |
11:15:40p | Bofaha muses philosophically "Well, free vegetables..."
11:15:40p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:15:40p |
11:15:46p |
11:15:46p | Temi claims, "The ones that can be a variety of items. I think we're planning on extending that further to all the restocks, so you can see what will load up somewhere, even if there's none available right now."
11:15:46p |
11:15:50p |
11:15:50p | Kinaed states, "Oh yeah. We realized people didn't always know where restocks of rare items happen, so we made it so players should see restocks in shops."
11:15:50p |
11:15:52p |
11:15:52p | Eirian queries, "I'm not sure what that means. Like, if there are none of that thing available, does it show 0 or something?"
11:15:52p |
11:15:58p | Kinaed questions to Niamh, "Did you finish your side of that too?"
11:15:58p |
11:16:00p | Taunya states to Niamh, "Yay mounted combat. Hope it'll play well with my horse archer stuff."
11:16:00p |
11:16:09p | Niamh says to Kinaed, "I don't think I had one. Temi mentioned she'd be sorting it."
11:16:09p |
11:16:29p |
11:16:29p | Temi claims, "I'll finish up the others this week still then."
11:16:29p |
11:16:32p | Kinaed says to Eirian, "If it's not available, it will show as a display item."
11:16:32p |
11:16:37p | Kinaed nods at Temi.
11:16:37p |
11:16:40p |
11:16:40p | Eirian states, "Gotcha."
11:16:40p |
11:16:56p | say to the hunger games for rare respawns may now begin
11:16:56p |
11:16:56p | Bofaha claims, "To the hunger games for rare respawns may now begin"
11:16:56p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:16:56p |
11:16:58p |
11:16:58p | Kinaed says, "I think that's it for Staff Updates. "
11:16:58p |
11:17:00p |
11:17:00p | Taunya says, "Ahh, I saw that on help news, but didn't see any sign of that in the shops *nods*"
11:17:00p |
11:17:01p |
11:17:01p | Temi states, "But anyways, like at Daylin's Gems, there's now an item in list: [ 1] [ DISPLAY ] displays of rare stock in interesting gems [High Economics]"
11:17:01p |
11:17:17p |
11:17:17p | Caterina claims, "INTERESTING GEMS are interesting."
11:17:17p |
11:17:20p |
11:17:20p | Eirian states, "Cool."
11:17:20p |
11:17:28p | Empena is idle.
11:17:28p |
11:17:30p |
11:17:30p | Kinaed questions, "Next - Player Heartbeat! How was RP this week, folks? Game fun?"
11:17:30p |
11:17:33p | Empena is no longer idle.
11:17:33p |
11:17:38p | Empena has returned from AFK.
11:17:38p |
11:17:42p |
11:17:42p | Vlora says, "A bit alarmed at a few of the recent leavers. "
11:17:42p |
11:17:47p | Kinaed nods at Vlora.
11:17:47p |
11:17:48p |
11:17:48p | Kaimana has been super burnt out but is slowly getting back in the groove.
11:17:48p |
11:17:52p | Moxie nods at Vlora.
11:17:52p |
11:18:05p |
11:18:05p | Lance says, "Yeah, I kinda got bummed out over that as well."
11:18:05p |
11:18:07p | Kinaed states to Vlora, "People don't like change, but progress needs to be made. Obviously, people can and do vote with their feet."
11:18:07p |
11:18:10p |
11:18:10p | Caterina exclaims, "It was super! No big complaints. Happy clam over here. Shout-out to Eirian for fun party times for the New Year. IC events are always great!"
11:18:10p |
11:18:18p | Kinaed nods at Caterina.
11:18:18p |
11:18:21p | say slooow start of the week, and then quite a bit of conflict started brewing. A bit annoyed that I can't catch some folk to rp with and follow with old plots, so started many new ones
11:18:22p |
11:18:22p | Bofaha states, "Slooow start of the week, and then quite a bit of conflict started brewing. A bit annoyed that I can't catch some folk to rp with and follow with old plots, so started many new ones "
11:18:22p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:18:22p |
11:18:30p |
11:18:30p | Kinaed exclaims, "Yes, a thank you from Staff to Eirian for running yet another event!"
11:18:30p |
11:18:35p |
11:18:35p | Eirian claims, "Thanks to everyone who attended the event on Wednesday. I've been a little behind on my recommendations, but I appreciate everyone who stopped by -- even if I couldn't keep up with ALL the emotes."
11:18:35p |
11:18:36p |
11:18:36p | Ibrahim queries, "Who left?"
11:18:36p |
11:18:42p |
11:18:42p | Taunya states, "I've got several threads of RP going, a bit slow, but should be fun when they progress a bit more."
11:18:42p |
11:18:43p |
11:18:43p | Moxie claims, "Really fun. Eirian hosted a party, and everything about it was really well hosted and thought out. There's been some good roleplay with the Tubori re: racism, but there aren't a lot of players who enforce laws at the moment."
11:18:43p |
11:18:47p | Kinaed says to Ibrahim, "Jakob and Rimilde, but Rimilde returned."
11:18:47p |
11:19:00p |
11:19:00p | Nadya claims, "A bit shocked at recent leavings, but overall good. I feel like people here are not only strong enough RPwise to pick up the slack, but also do good with the conflict that'll ensue."
11:19:00p |
11:19:02p |
11:19:02p | Vlora questions, "Oh she did?"
11:19:02p |
11:19:04p | sayto Moxie that is why normal folk carry knives too!
11:19:04p | Bofaha pontificates to Moxie, "That is why normal folk carry knives too!"
11:19:04p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:19:04p |
11:19:06p | Kinaed nods at Vlora.
11:19:06p |
11:19:06p |
11:19:06p | Kaimana currently doesn't have much on any of his alts. hnd, and unsure how to go about things.
11:19:06p |
11:19:12p |
11:19:12p | Ibrahim states, "Yeah they came back and took their post down like it never happened."
11:19:12p |
11:19:14p |
11:19:14p | Vicannia nods in agreeance with Vlora "Bit shocked about that as well, not entirely surprised but still shocked. But aside from that, rp has been rather fun this week. Logged on to check mail, had no plan of rping, but ended up in a roughly 4 hour scene. Earned jack diddly squat in terms of xp from it, but it was fun."
11:19:14p |
11:19:24p |
11:19:24p | Vlora cheers that the reeves ain't dead!
11:19:24p |
11:19:42p | Kinaed states to Vlora, "It'd take more than one person leaving to kill a guild, friend."
11:19:42p |
11:19:52p |
11:19:52p | Vlora claims, "True. "
11:19:52p |
11:20:10p |
11:20:10p | Moxie asks, "What's that leaving quote about planting seeds, Caterina?"
11:20:10p |
11:20:18p | Vicannia questions to Kinaed, "Do you actually know it was because of changes that they left?"
11:20:18p |
11:20:26p |
11:20:26p | Kaimana says, "That's sad."
11:20:26p |
11:20:40p |
11:20:40p | Kinaed queries, "Anything shitting people about the game at the moment that staff should know about? Besides Purchase Silver going away, because we expect people to be upset, but it's a necessary evil?"
11:20:40p |
11:20:40p |
11:20:40p | Flaviano "As a Newb, I have been really enjoying my encounters with different chars. I am learning that I have the sense of direction of of a blind gerbil. People have been really helpful and tolerant of my questions, though... I think." Flaviano points out
11:20:40p |
11:20:43p |
11:20:43p | Temi says, "We did get a note from Jakob about his reasons."
11:20:43p |
11:20:49p | Kinaed nods at Temi.
11:20:49p |
11:21:06p |
11:21:06p | Caterina claims, "Oh crap. Veilus was the one who got all deep about it. Um. I forget. But it was a very philosophical seed quote."
11:21:06p |

11:21:17p |
11:21:17p | Caterina exclaims, "Flaviano, you're doing great! "
11:21:17p |
11:21:28p | Taunya declares to Flaviano, "Always happy to help if you need it!"
11:21:28p |
11:21:42p | Kinaed says to Vicannia, "Jakob wrote a very polite mail saying it was because of the change to Will to Power and a general feeling that staff were against mages."
11:21:42p |
11:21:53p |
11:21:53p | Moxie claims, "Flaviano is a good player. I'll seek you out, myself or an alt, for a scene Flav-e-flav."
11:21:53p |
11:22:00p | Kinaed declares to Flaviano, "I'm glad you've been having fun!"
11:22:00p |
11:22:20p |
11:22:20p | Kaimana claims, "Alessandro is always up for RP usually. So I'll try and make time for scenes."
11:22:20p |
11:22:22p |
11:22:22p | Vlora states, "Otherwise, loads of fun on this character. Getting involved in so much goop."
11:22:22p |
11:22:24p | sayto Kinaed doesn't that change like every few months whos side staff is on apparently?
11:22:24p | Empena waves to Flaviano.
11:22:24p | Bofaha muses to Kinaed, "Doesn't that change like every few months whos side staff is on apparently?"
11:22:24p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)

11:22:40p |
11:22:44p |
11:22:44p | Ibrahim says, "Changes have sort've gone both ways over time. Unfortunately, folks tend to get a bit worked up if a change negatively impacts them, which is kind've understandable."
11:22:44p |
11:22:46p | Vicannia states to Kinaed, "Just had wanted to check. I know it's easy with the amount of changes recently to blame changes for the reason people are leaving, though that shouldn't be the first thing we jump but, but if he provided reasoning then ignore me as I wasn't aware."
11:22:46p |
11:22:46p |
11:22:46p | Taunya says, "Honestly, it says right in the character generation that playing a mage 'will' get you killed. and it hasn't been such a guarantee for a long time."
11:22:46p |
11:22:48p |
11:22:48p | Eirian states, "As someone who played probably the most maxed out mage for several years, I think the change to Will to Power was a long time coming -- and ultimately probably for the best."
11:22:48p |
11:23:01p |
11:23:01p | Kinaed states, "No other Player Heartbeat material? If not, I'm happy to move to Player Topics. "
11:23:01p |
11:23:03p |
11:23:03p | Eirian states, "It was OP. ^_^"
11:23:03p |
11:23:09p |
11:23:09p | Ibrahim says, "Indeed it was"
11:23:09p |
11:23:12p |
11:23:12p | Kaimana says, "It was super op."
11:23:12p |
11:23:19p |
11:23:19p | Vicannia claims, "Will to power, what little I used it, was quite over powered."
11:23:19p |
11:23:22p | Niamh nods in agreement.
11:23:22p |
11:23:25p | say oh my int wimp suddenly can lift a mountain, nah not op at all
11:23:25p |
11:23:25p | Bofaha says, "Oh my int wimp suddenly can lift a mountain, nah not op at all"
11:23:25p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:23:25p |
11:23:30p |
11:23:30p | Moxie asks, "What is this 'will to power' thing?"
11:23:30p |
11:23:37p |
11:23:37p | Vlora claims, "Dirty mages, Moxie. "
11:23:37p |
11:23:47p |
11:23:47p | Flaviano gives two big thumbs up, and potatoes for everyone.
11:23:47p |
11:23:47p |
11:23:47p | Ibrahim claims, "Some mages used to roll characters completely gimped on strength, dex, and con, and overpower their mental stats"
11:23:47p |
11:23:49p |
11:23:49p | Empena states, "I have a thought for later, if there is time."
11:23:49p |
11:23:49p | Vicannia claims to Moxie, "It's a spell. Swapped certain stats."
11:23:49p |
11:23:53p | Kinaed says to Moxie, "It was a spell that filled in your str, con, and dex with your int/wis or something like that."
11:23:53p |
11:23:53p | Ibrahim claims, "Then use WtP to take advantage of that"
11:23:53p |
11:23:53p |
11:23:53p | Niamh says, "It's still pretty beefy for the lowest level spell of its kind, but it's at least sane now."
11:23:53p |
11:24:03p |
11:24:03p | Nadya claims, "Dirty, nasty mages."
11:24:03p |
11:24:04p |
11:24:04p | Caterina says, "Yeah, let's not talk mage mechanics too deeply please. I like being in the dark about it both IC and OOC."
11:24:04p |
11:24:06p |
11:24:06p | Moxie says, "Ah, thanks."
11:24:06p |
11:24:11p |
11:24:11p | Caterina knows nothing. Like Jon Snow.
11:24:11p |
11:24:12p | nod Caterina
11:24:12p | Bofaha nods at Caterina.
11:24:12p |
11:24:21p |
11:24:21p | Ibrahim claims, "Can't really blame them. It's just using the system to its potential. But it was broken."
11:24:21p |
11:24:37p | Moxie nods at Ibrahim.
11:24:37p |
11:24:46p |
11:24:46p | Kinaed claims, "We have no issues with people who made the best of it; we just changed it because we deemed, as most people have said here, the spell to be overpowered."
11:24:46p |
11:25:01p |
11:25:01p | Kinaed exclaims, "Okay, people ready...? Player Topics!"
11:25:01p |
11:25:15p | Kinaed questions to Caterina, "You're up first. Please introduce us to your topic?"
11:25:15p |
11:25:29p |
11:25:29p | Caterina states, "Boom! I just have a couple of things I would like to bring up. Food for thought things that I've noticed this week (and the week before but not as much)."
11:25:29p |
11:25:31p |
11:25:31p | Caterina says, "I would first just like to briefly mention something about the rumors as I've noticed a bit more of this as of late this past week. The 'circle' of the rumor is who is talking about that rumor. So if the rumor is in the Freemen circle, all replies to the rumor should be made from the POV of a freeman. If it's in the Merchants circle, it should be from the POV of a merchant. Nobility, from the POV of a noble, etc. So, for example, if there was a Freeman rumor about how Freemen are great and awesome and kick ass, someone shouldn't be replying to it all like FREEMEN ARE DIRTY, FILTHY BEASTS. Or if there was a noble rumor, someone shouldn't be replying to it like NOBLES ARE PANSIES AND SUCK. These are exaggerated examples, but I'm sure you catch my drift. That is all with that one."
11:25:31p |
11:25:52p | Kinaed nods at Caterina.
11:25:52p |
11:26:02p |
11:26:02p | Caterina says, "The next 'food for thought' is about osays. I've been involved in a lot of group scenes here lately where people were tossing out osays like beads at a Mardi Gras parade (alas, minus the boobies). Please keep in mind that osays are very distracting and break immersion for some people. If you're just dropping an osay to say 'lol' or otherwise comment on the RP or lament your RP skills, that is probably not a good reason to break up a scene. I'm personally of the opinion that 'brb' and 'afk' osays in a huge scene are probably not necessary unless you're the one leading the scene (say at a meeting or party). Otherwise, you can probably just send a tell to the person you're directly RPing with in that big scene to let them know you're going brb or afk for a second. Or even 'I gotta go' osays. You can just as easily excuse yourself ICly. But that's just a personal opinion. You do you."
11:26:02p |
11:26:05p |
11:26:05p | Kinaed states, "Caterina is correct, please check the circle to see where the rumor is floating around."
11:26:05p |
11:26:13p |
11:26:13p | Kinaed questions, "Slow down a moment, Caterina?"
11:26:13p |
11:26:23p |
11:26:23p | Caterina says, "SORRY. Yes. I am slowing down."
11:26:23p |
11:26:26p | Kinaed smiles.
11:26:26p |
11:26:29p |
11:26:29p | Kinaed pontificates, "No worries!"
11:26:29p |
11:26:36p |
11:26:36p | Kinaed questions, "Anyone have any thoughts re: rumors and circles?"
11:26:36p |
11:26:50p |
11:26:50p | Margaux states, "It would be nice if rumor locations could also tied to an appropriate circle. (ie, you get noble rumors popping at the palace, merchant rumors at the golden coin)"
11:26:50p |
11:27:09p |
11:27:09p | Vlora claims, "I've never really thought about it like that - I always thought the circle is sorta' where it came from, and the type of person who spread it. I didn't realise it should stick to those circles."
11:27:09p |
11:27:11p |
11:27:11p | Temi says, "I'd say it doesn't necessarily have to be said by a merchant, said by a freeman, etc, just has to fit with the discussions of it in their circle."
11:27:11p |
11:27:12p | sayto Kinaed I don't think that helpfile explains that at all/well, but yea, and this should help people post more rumors. Also could we maybe remove the restriction of going to raverns to post new ones?
11:27:12p |
11:27:12p | Empena says, "I've a thought sort of related to all that."
11:27:12p | Kinaed nods at Margaux.
11:27:12p |
11:27:12p | Bofaha asks of Kinaed, "I don't think that helpfile explains that at all/well, but yea, and this should help people post more rumors. Also could we maybe remove the restriction of going to raverns to post new ones?"
11:27:12p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:27:12p |
11:27:16p |
11:27:16p | Vicannia queries, "The whole rumor thing seems a bit odd. You are telling me that if someone creates a rumor, labels the circle as freemen and the rumor is about how horrible nobles are, or how great freemen are, no one is allowed to reply with opposition to said rumor, because the topic is the same as the circle?"
11:27:16p |
11:27:24p | Taunya claims to Margaux, "I think that would be nice, but would take a lot of work."
11:27:24p |
11:27:37p | Kinaed claims to Vlora, "Nah, it's supposed to be saying where that rumor is going around, and the theme should reflect the circle."
11:27:37p |
11:27:43p |
11:27:43p | Kinaed says, "I might do a PSA on that so people know."
11:27:43p |
11:27:46p |
11:27:46p | Caterina claims, "You don't have to be in a tavern to post new ones. I post new rumors all over the place."
11:27:46p |
11:27:55p |
11:27:55p | Kaimana states, "Please do. Rumors are still like buah? to me."
11:27:55p |
11:28:10p |
11:28:10p | Nadya says, "Honestly, I create really racist/classist rumors to bring this point up."
11:28:10p |
11:28:11p |
11:28:11p | Robin says, "It would be helpful if you could update HELP RUMOUR to reflect that"
11:28:11p |
11:28:19p |
11:28:19p | Vicannia says, "I've always taken the circles as how one should reply, in terms of speech and wording. Don't want an uppity noble with their fancy speak replying to a lowborn scum freemen rumor"
11:28:19p |
11:28:33p | sayto Caterina you can promote/quash from anywhere, but last time i tried to create a new one, it told me that's not a good place to do so. Granted I was in an outhouse, but stil...
11:28:33p | Bofaha trails off to Caterina, "You can promote/quash from anywhere, but last time i tried to create a new one, it told me that's not a good place to do so. Granted I was in an outhouse, but stil..."
11:28:33p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:28:33p |
11:28:48p |
11:28:48p | Caterina says, "I created a rumor in a back room of a store."
11:28:48p |
11:28:50p |
11:28:50p | Moxie claims, "I think this is a lot of opinion. I'd like this clarified in a help scroll as I hadn't heard this until now."
11:28:50p |
11:28:53p |
11:28:53p | Caterina says, "I was whispering it to myself, I think."
11:29:04p |
11:29:18p | Kinaed nods at Moxie.
11:29:18p |
11:29:26p |
11:29:26p | Kinaed says, "I'll clarify the help file and make a general board post"
11:29:26p |
11:29:30p |
11:29:30p | Nadya states, "I can say it's very strange, creating a freemen-centric rumor, and having weighty noble-type speech, or a nobility-centric rumor, and having the random bum from Iolade put in his two cents."
11:29:30p |
11:29:31p | cheer Kinaed
11:29:32p | Unrecognized command. Perhaps you meant the following:
11:29:32p | carry
11:29:32p |
11:29:32p |
11:29:35p |
11:29:35p | Caterina declares, "Thank you, Kinaed!"
11:29:35p |
11:29:45p | Kinaed nods at Nadya.
11:29:45p |
11:29:48p |
11:29:48p | Caterina says, "And agreed, Nadya."
11:29:48p |
11:29:49p | Moxie nods at Nadya.
11:29:49p |
11:29:57p |
11:29:57p | Caterina states, "Are we ready to move on to the next food for thought? I can repost it."
11:29:57p |
11:30:05p |
11:30:05p | Vicannia nod's in agreeance with Nadya "Exactly, though allowing no opposition because of a topic and circle seems... strange."
11:30:05p |
11:30:23p |
11:30:23p | Nadya says, "Then oppose it in Freemen or Noble style."
11:30:23p |
11:30:28p |
11:30:28p | Caterina says, "Well, Vicannia, if the freemen have a rumor bashing nobles, the nobles can have an opposing rumor. Like the ones right now."
11:30:28p |
11:30:33p |
11:30:33p | Kinaed states, "We want to keep rumors open to participation, but we also want to see different themes play out that are, well, thematic. That won't happen if the perspective of a rumor cycle isn't upheld."
11:30:33p |
11:30:49p |
11:30:49p | Kaimana states, "Personally I just kind of leave it be because frankly to try and be themely with such a comoplex thing is just way too much effort for me."
11:30:49p |
11:30:51p |
11:30:51p | Temi claims, "There's certainly room for a wide variety of opposition. There's definitely freemen who believe in the current system and people staying in their place, as is right and Davite."
11:30:51p |
11:30:55p |
11:30:55p | Kinaed claims, "Another option might be to flag replies with which perspective they're from, but that's a code change."
11:30:55p |
11:31:02p | Kinaed nods at Temi.
11:31:02p |
11:31:25p | Kinaed states to Caterina, "Okay, I think we've probably discussed that enough to get an idea of people's thoughts."
11:31:25p |
11:31:26p | Vicannia wonders to Kinaed, ""So if I play a freemen, who doesn't agree with a freemen circle rumor narrative, I don't have the right for my character to speak up in the rumor mill against it?""
11:31:26p |
11:31:36p | Kinaed wonders to Caterina, "Next one?"
11:31:36p |
11:31:40p |
11:31:40p | Margaux muses, "Perhaps if people could see their 'native' rumors differentiated on the list that would help? (ie, as a noble councilperson, my appropriate rumors would be highlighted or set apart)"
11:31:40p |
11:31:44p | Kinaed states to Vicannia, "No one said that."
11:31:44p |
11:31:51p | sayto Vicannia rumors don't have to come from your character
11:31:51p | Bofaha says to Vicannia, "Rumors don't have to come from your character"
11:31:51p | (This is an OOC room. Nothing counts for rpxp here.)
11:31:51p |
11:32:04p | Kinaed nods at Margaux.
11:32:04p |
11:32:22p | Vicannia states to Kinaed, "That is what I'm hearing. The jist of what I'm understanding is that a reply to a rumor can not go against, or opposition, of the original rumor."
11:32:22p |
11:32:23p |
11:32:23p | Temi claims, "Exactly the opposite. They should just keep within the circle, and respond as a freeman, whether they agree or not."
11:32:23p |
11:32:29p |
11:32:29p | Caterina states, "Vicannia, Temi just said the exact opposite of that. Hang on. Let me scroll up."
11:32:29p |
11:32:40p | Ibrahim claims to Vicannia, "It just means that a Noble commenting in a Freeman circle would be odd."
11:32:40p |
11:32:40p |
11:32:40p | Caterina claims, "Temi claims, "There's certainly room for a wide variety of opposition. There's definitely freemen who believe in the current system and people staying in their place, as is right and Davite.""
11:32:40p |
11:32:56p | Nadya says to Vicannia, "What was stated, was that you just need to write from another perspective, in order to sensibly be able to respond and affect that circle. For example, noble-type and freemen-type gossipmongerers (Bar wench/scullery maid) need to be able to deliver lines that make somewhat sense."
11:32:56p |
11:33:02p | Vicannia states to Caterina, "Ah, I had missed that in the amount of replies. Thank you"
11:33:02p |
11:33:06p | Kinaed says to Vicannia, "No staff member said that, we said keep the perspective to the circle of the rumor it was posted in. IE, if it's a noble rumor, post replies as if nobles are talking about it instead of the random freeman who didn't have access to the rumor."
11:33:06p |
11:33:10p |
11:33:10p | Temi declaims, "So a freeman rumor could be 'Down with the nobles!' with opposition 'No, we ought to stay in our places!' but not 'Eww, you disgusting filth be quiet'"
11:33:10p |
11:33:12p |
11:33:12p | Nadya claims, "A freeman would have no issue affecting a freeman topic."
11:33:12p |
11:33:21p |
11:33:21p | Caterina claims, "Exactly, Temi."
11:33:21p |
11:33:33p |
11:33:33p | Caterina says, "ALRIGHT. Next wall o' text incoming."
11:33:33p |
11:33:34p | Kinaed nods at Nadya.
11:33:34p |
11:33:35p |
11:33:35p | Caterina states, "The next 'food for thought' is about osays. I've been involved in a lot of group scenes here lately where people were tossing out osays like beads at a Mardi Gras parade (alas, minus the boobies). Please keep in mind that osays are very distracting and break immersion for some people. If you're just dropping an osay to say 'lol' or otherwise comment on the RP or lament your RP skills, that is probably not a good reason to break up a scene. I'm personally of the opinion that 'brb' and 'afk' osays in a huge scene are probably not necessary unless you're the one leading the scene (say at a meeting or party). Otherwise, you can probably just send a tell to the person you're directly RPing with in that big scene to let them know you're going brb or afk for a second. Or even 'I gotta go' osays. You can just as easily excuse yourself ICly. But that's just a personal opinion. You do you."
11:33:35p |
11:33:40p |
11:33:40p | Moxie claims, "I think the confusion comes from a lot of nobles and gentry mingling with freemen in the game at the moment."
11:33:40p |
11:33:49p | Kinaed nods at Moxie.
11:33:49p |
11:33:57p |
11:33:57p | Kinaed says, "We're too small to make those boundaries more rigid."
11:33:57p |
11:34:00p |
11:34:00p | Moxie says, "To caterina I'm very pro limited osays."
11:34:00p |
11:34:01p |
11:34:01p | Kinaed claims, "Now, OSAYS."
11:34:01p |
11:34:21p |
11:34:21p | Kinaed says, "Thank you for the reminder, Caterina, I agree with you categorically, with the understanding that osays exist because they're necessary."
11:34:21p |
11:34:29p |
11:34:29p | Caterina asks, "Osaaaaays what what. Andruid posted up a great topic on the forum about how to create an immersive RP experience in which they touched on osays and such. I think it's a great read myself. BOOM. Linky: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1357"
11:34:29p |
11:34:29p |
11:34:29p | Moxie claims, "Though sometimes I'm worried a lot of people are sticking to a rigid turns pattern, so I feel I have to excuse myself if I need to go AFK"
11:34:29p |
11:34:54p |
11:34:54p | Eirian states, "I have a blog post and guide to preserving immersion, that discusses things like osays, in case anyone's interested: http://ti-legacy.com/andruid-journal/cr ... xperience/"
11:34:54p |
11:35:02p |
11:35:02p | Nadya says, "I find osays important, if you're going AFK. It helps notify a group you need to leave. However... As for the turn-pattern, I find it necessary."
11:35:02p |
11:35:03p |
11:35:03p | Caterina says, "Lmao Eirian"
11:35:03p |
11:35:08p |
11:35:08p | Eirian chuckles.
11:35:08p |
11:35:16p |
11:35:16p | Vicannia states, "The only times I typically use osay is when I am about to leave a scene. I like to make sure I'm not leaving a scene as someone is about to reply towards my character, as that is annoying when it happens to me.""
11:35:16p |
11:35:17p | Niamh nods at Nadya.
11:35:17p |
11:35:21p |
11:35:21p | Kinaed says, "I think we need something for turn taking like was suggested on the forums, even if it's just 'I'm participating' and 'I'm not' or something. But we're not in a place where that is specced out. I think a staff member has it in their todo list."
11:35:21p |
11:35:22p |
11:35:22p | Nadya claims, "If you don't have a turn pattern, people get lost in the tide with people who can print out paaragraphs at a time."
11:35:22p |
11:35:27p |
11:35:27p | Temi claims, "The stuff that affects your availability as an OOC thing which affecgts IC is entirely valid use of osays."
11:35:27p |
11:35:34p |
11:35:34p | Caterina claims, "Great minds and such. I agree osays are necessary. I have just seen a LOT of them lately. Like things like 'lol' or 'I suck at this'"
11:35:34p |
11:35:38p |
11:35:38p | Temi says, "But please do keep the other stuff down, like throwing out silly comments."
11:35:38p |
11:35:40p |
11:35:40p | Caterina says, "So just wanted to bring it up."
11:35:40p |
11:35:42p |
11:35:42p | Kaimana claims, "I actually am a big fan of free posing especially in large scenes, I cannot wait sometimes for five really long turn takers especially when I have to go, but that's just imo."
11:35:42p |
