Log of OOC meeting 6/17/2017
Posted: Sat Jun 17, 2017 5:55 pm
Kinaed asks, "Today's Agenda is:
- Staff Updates
- Player Heartbeat
- Player Topics
Is there anything anyone would like to add to the agenda to make certain we discuss it today?"
Vicannia states, "I have a topic I'd like to bring up"
Empena says, "I would, but I apologize in advance I'm on mobile."
Kinaed nods.
Azarial states, "Can;t be any worse than hen I posed corpses in the morgue playing cards, and it looked like the scene froze with one stabbing another in the eye with a turnip for cheating, an cards hanging out of sleeves and collars"
Kinaed claims, "Adding you both."
Alessandro blinks at Azarial
Niamh states to Azarial, "But WHY though"
Kinaed asks, "Anyone else?"
Vicannia muses, "Why not?"
Taunya claims, "Short one or two here."
Bofaha claims, "Vicannia got the right spirit ;D"
Kinaed states, "Okay. Staff Updates. Me: One or two small policy cases, went through decisions with staff, not much else. Still on my plate: Jail Automation. I think something got added last week that I forgot. Please remind me. Else I'll check the log."
Kinaed says, "That's pretty much it. Az, you're up. "
Kinaed has transferred Nadya. [OOC]
Azarial claims, "Mostly making sure assets worked right, plus a few crashes."
Kinaed nods at Azarial.
Bofaha claims, "Blasted mages"
Niamh gives a felted wool raccoon plush with a sizable, buttoned pocket to Nadya.
Azarial states, "And that did not need ot be asked anonymously; it makes it easier to figure out who is asking for the trans."
Kinaed does a quick look at the changes board, "I think we have fencing in for thieves?"
Niamh nods.
Azarial claims, "Oh, yes, I did add that. that was smal enough I forgot it."
Nadya states, "Sorry about making things harder. Again."
Bofaha comforts Nadya.
Kinaed says to Nadya, "No sweat. We gotcha."
Vicannia queries, "Fencing? As in a new skill to move stolen items or a more rp mechanic?"
Kinaed asks of Niamh, "Please make sure Fencing is in Jun2017?"
Kinaed has transferred Bertrand. [OOC]
Kinaed says to Vicannia, "A new command, not skill, to move stolen items."
Azarial states, "Command, not a skill"
Taunya claims, "Ooh fencing."
Eirian claims, "Cool. I read that as fencing as in... with swords."
Lance hugs Nadya.
Azarial says, "If it gets crazy i'll add the room limit that mobprogs have on items."
Caterina states, "Same."
Bofaha claims, "You can use swords to get items to fence"
Vicannia says, "Ah ok. I'll give the helpfile a read once it's up"
Niamh says to Kinaed, "Done."
Azarial states, "Or fence swords."
Kinaed says to Niamh, "Thanks "
Niamh says, "Looks like the helpfile is already up."
Kinaed nods at Niamh.
Alessandro pontificates, "It is!"
Kinaed says, "Yes, it's a general help file."
Alessandro likes the word pontificates, and is shameless in saying this.
Vicannia "Ah." Hops on alt so as to not clutter log
Niamh eats a slow-moving black beetle.
Niamh puts a slow-moving black beetle in their mouth.
Bofaha says to Niamh, "Gross"
Azarial grins.
Lance states, "Dude."
Niamh smiles.
Alessandro claims, "Sayith the hillman."
Bofaha claims, "And hilman said that"
Kinaed has transferred Wren. [OOC]
Niamh grins.
Aenaela laughs.
Niamh gives a felted wool raccoon plush with a sizable, buttoned pocket to Wren.
Bofaha high5 Alessandro
Alessandro beams.
Kinaed questions, "Any questions about fencing?"
Temi muses to Niamh, "Did you get one to Bert?"
Niamh gives a felted wool raccoon plush with a sizable, buttoned pocket to Bertrand.
Bofaha states to Kinaed, "Seems straightforward, hire a freeman to retrieve your stuff"
Bertrand declaims to Niamh, "Thank you!"
Niamh declares to Bertrand, "Welcome!"
Bofaha says, "Instead of always the rather long rp around it"
Kinaed smiles at Bofaha.
Vicannia queries, "How much is the specified amount? Like hopefully it's not as much as if they actually tried to get players to buy it?"
Kinaed states to Vicannia, "The thief can specify what they want to sell it for to a max of 300 silver above the obj's base value."
Eirian says, "I dig it."
Nadya states, "That's pretty cool."
Kinaed states, "The Brotherhood doesn't get paid unless the item moves."
Caterina claims, "Yup! Seems cool."
Alessandro states, "I'm liking it."
Bofaha claims, "A proper submarket"
Vicannia states, "So I'm misunderstanding it. I assumed they would use the command and get paid instantly."
Eirian says, "Though, I would add to the helpfile something about not everyone being welcome in Southside."
Nadya muses, "So, I've a question then. Fencing is a delicate art. If something has lingered for too long, is it possible to RPA the source?"
Eirian claims, "Or linking to the SS helpfile, or something."
Taunya queries, "How about the um blackmarket command that never seemed to get finished?"
Eirian claims, "Not everyone can check themselves."
Nadya claims, "Just a hint, not an utterly obvious answer."
Kinaed states, "Which we hope will reduce the "I walk in and steal everything in sight, including the wardobes" and get it to be a more realistic "I'll steal that necklace because I can sell it, but no one is buying paper pulp from the pawn shop""
Azarial states to Taunya, "I am trying to get back to that. the priority list keps evolving."
Kinaed states to Taunya, "When that comes in, thieves can choose what they want to do."
Caterina states, "Lmao. Paper pulp."
Bofaha trails off to Caterina, "Did happen..."
Alessandro trails off, "What uh..."
Caterina hides her paper pulp.
Vicannia chuckles "I remember getting yelled at by the tenebrae icly not to steal clothes...
Lance trails off, "One man's pulp is another man's..."
Alessandro wonders, "Wait thieves can choose what who wants to do what?"
Lance claims, "Pulp."
Azarial states, "The room cap would help that too. if it is full of junk, you;d have to buy it so you can post your pearl necklace."
Temi says, "You are welcome to use RPA if you have a plan to investigate it, but the general stance of the shopkeeper will be not to share info."
Caterina pets Lance.
Vicannia states, "Fun times... fun times. I miss the thieves of that era."
Lance grins.
Kinaed asks of Alessandro, "I think the answer is in your scroll?"
Bofaha states, "But proper rpa can convince the clerk, just don't beat him too much or may get visit from the boss "
Alessandro trails off, "I probably....hold on..."
Kinaed wonders, "Any other queries that we haven't answered?"
Alessandro says, "Oh... yeah It's too much to try and find to get back to it. NVM."
Eirian claims, "Nothing here. Sounds good."
Niamh says to Alessandro, "Blackmarket (not in yet) or the fencer."
Nadya claims, "I understand. Though, uh. Like 50g+ worth of goods being moved is hilariously high-heat, is all I'm saying."
Kinaed says, "Okay, that's fencing. And Az's update."
Kinaed nods at Nadya.
Kinaed states to Temi, "You're up "
Temi states, "I have been polishing off assets and getting them all ready to release to you guys.. in approximately 45 minutes."
Alessandro says, "Ooooh."
Bofaha kisses Temi.
Niamh grins.
Caterina pontificates, "Coolio!"
Aenaela says, "Awesome. I don't know what all this means, but I am still happy"
Aenaela laughs.
Temi claims, "I have a post written up on the forums ready to move into the public domain at that point, which will walk through things."
Kinaed has created the ASSETS spec[1].
Vicannia queries, "Question about that... Will weekly payments still go through tonight?"
Kinaed gives the ASSETS spec to Aenaela.
Temi says, "And I already had Nimah walk through it, and she said something to the affect of 'Wow, that's really easy'"
Niamh nods in agreement.
Kinaed muses, "We didn't think about that, Vic - or I didn't. I think they ought to if we can do that as a last shot. Az?"
Azarial states, "I am going to let those go a bit, then clear them all out. I tsill need to add the roster option for asets as well, but that can wait after the initial rush"
Temi says, "I'm not sure, but I would recommend we don't replace the current payments until next week."
Temi nods at Azarial.
Eirian thumbs up.
Bofaha needs his money for... raccoon disposal reasons
Vicannia nods "Just was something that has been floating in my mind for the last few days."
Niamh nods in agreement with Bofaha.
Kinaed nods at Vicannia.
Temi claims, "So, yes, tonight's bank list payments will go through. Next week, it's assets."
Kinaed claims, "Okay, that's assets and Temi. By the way, big round of applause to Azarial, Temi and Niamh for their hard work on getting assets up and running."
Kinaed nods at Temi.
Bofaha sprays the trio in champagne
Caterina claps for all da staff!
Aenaela smiles.
Kinaed has transferred Margaux. [OOC]
Niamh gives a felted wool raccoon plush with a sizable, buttoned pocket to Margaux.
Kinaed queries, "Any other questions about assets?"
Margaux waves.
Alessandro waves to Margaux.
Empena claps.
Nadya uses raccoon like a puppet, making their voice all mousy in this act of ventriloquism, "Do the IP gains affect your support slots, from the assets?"
Alessandro giggles at Nadya
Kinaed says, "If I understand the question, no."
Temi claims, "Also, for those nobles who have posted to me, your assets are created and waiting for you in the system. For those who haven't - please post a request board with the problem for your domain."
Vicannia states, "Not a question, but I must say I like how reasonable the silver costs are for initial assets"
Nadya questions, "Hm? Why not?"
Vlora muses, "What do you mean by problem?"
Bertrand nods at Temi.
Kinaed claims, "Because support slots aren't an asset benefit, and are independent of IP. IP is an after-affect of assets and weekly calculations."
Temi claims, "What sometimes goes wrong in your domain that affects how profitable it is. To help you RP it."
Azarial claims, "The ip gain does not affect support slots"
Bertrand states, "Its an island, in the middle of no where."
Kinaed claims, "What Az said, much more succinctly."
Bertrand grins, "I'll send you a real post later, Temi."
Temi nods at Bertrand.
Nadya says, "Huh. That's... Weird."
Azarial says, "Assets did not touch support at all."
Kinaed says to Nadya, "Can you explain what you're expecting? Support slots are a function of social class."
Margaux states to Kinaed, "You get more support slots if you're supported more as well."
Kinaed states, "IP is a result of various activity and calculations, like adding rumors, including your overall support."
Kinaed nods at Margaux.
Nadya claims, "Well, it's 5 weekly IP per support slot, right? I'm not expecting anything, but in my mind, it's still weekly IP, and it confuses me."
Kinaed says, "But IP is the output, not an input to that system."
Kinaed states to Nadya, "I don't recall what the weekly IP you get per support slot is, I'm trying to say that assets don't give people support slots."
Kinaed says, "Assets can give people IP if that's the asset benefit (if that's in)"
Nadya says, "'Help support'. Right under the number of support slots being based on stuff."
Kinaed muses, "But no affect on support. Does that make sense?"
Taunya says, "I'll probably bring it up at a future meeting after things have settled, but I was wondering if you'd consider allowing purchase wealth to grant an extra point for freemen to get either two tier 2 asssets, or 1 tier 3. Not touching the cap of 2 assets total."
Azarial states, "IP redemption should be in. I am unaware if any assets offer that"
They aren't here.
Kinaed states to Nadya, "Let's discuss this offline since I think you and I are the only two people confused at the moment."
Vicannia muses, "Oh wait, I do have an asset question. I know Gls will get an asset tied to their guild, but will 2nd GLs also get an asset or just first?"
Empena states, "I'd like to sort of consider the idea that the IP to silver exchange be upped, most rumours cost more than 1 silver, it makes it hard for rumours to be self sustaining with the income change."
Temi says, "Assets don't currently have IP on them, actually, though we have support for them to do so... We didn't actually come up with standards for which should have IP.. so that's not there yet."
Temi says, "We don't have guild-tied assets."
Bofaha claims to Empena, "Harass your nearby bard for all the news telling "
Nadya queries, "But... Uh. The main thing was assets either give IP or money, right?"
Kinaed says, "GLs won't get an asset tied to their guild, though I suppose they can create one and thematically tie it to their guild."
Temi states, "You may be confused with the noble domain ones."
Kinaed nods at Temi.
Temi states, "They will."
Temi nods at Nadya.
Kinaed says to Nadya, "Yes, but not support slots."
Vicannia says, "I thought there was talk of GLs having an asset tied to the role specifically, or I may be misremembering."
Kinaed says to Nadya, "Support slots are different to IP. IP is what you get for having support."
Empena wonders, "So are current metrics payments for Guilds disappearing?"
Kinaed states to Vicannia, "Not to my knowledge."
Margaux states, "'support points' are kind of a hidden metric under the hood that influences your IP. They determine your support slots AND your IP."
Kinaed states to Empena, "Nope."
Temi says, "No, current metric payments are a separate system from assets."
Azarial claims to Empena, "Not that i am aware of"
Empena nods.
Azarial claims, "Nor are the holding accounts that pay out ot the various guilds; taxes, fines, etc."
Eirian says, "There was never talk of GLs having specific assets. Given the turnaround for some guilds, I can only imagine the headache that would cause, anyway."
Azarial states, "Though if no one pays, say, fines, the related guild won;t get paid."
Bofaha coughs knights*
Caterina coughs MERCHANTS.
Temi states, "All this coughing, sounds like the Physicians may need to pick things up."
Kinaed trails off, "Okay, in the interests of time..."
Kinaed smiles, "Niamh, you're up!"
Niamh claims, "This week I updated a couple helpfiles (OSAY and RUMOR STANDARDS) to clarify their purposes and policies, and kept the recommendations queue, request and typo boards clean. No large project this week, just day to day maintenance. "
Bofaha grins at Temi.
Kinaed states to Niamh, "We love having our recommends and phome requests processed though, so thank you. "
Bofaha declares to Niamh, "Fastest recommends in history of recommends!"
Niamh smiles.
Bofaha claims, "Not to mention what a speed on construction"
Eirian states, "The day-to-day maintenance thing is super important, and I have been really impressed with how quickly that stuff has been getting done since Niamh's been on board."
Alessandro claims, "She faaaast."
Bofaha says, "As fast as a snek"
Kinaed pontificates, "Okay, that wraps up the Staff Updates portion of this discussion. Next up, Player Heartbeat!"
Kinaed nods at Eirian.
Caterina agrees with all of this.
Niamh claims, "Gah, thanks! I'm happy to hear it's been nice on the player-end."
Kinaed queries, "How was the RP last week folks?"
Taunya cheers for Niamh.
Bofaha dramatically raises his arms and voice as he exclaims "Conflict, romance, love, war, hate, crashing scenes, scaring ladies... and then there is rp, which was pretty kickass this week!"
Alessandro states, "Mostly boring but eh."
Caterina claims, "It was a slow RP week for me, but the RP I got was great! And another shoutout to Niamh for playing along with my drunk raccoon nonsense. It gave me some fun ideas for slightly more serious events in the future "
Marisa says, "I have been barely involved, but I don't think that's anyone's fault but mine"
Lance claims, "I'm enjoying it. Being a noble takes so much effort yo."
Lance passes out.
Vlora claims, "Didn't manage to get a whole lot done this week"
Aenaela declares, "Ihaven't really been involved. My fault though!"
Caterina states to Lance, "All that makeup you have to buy. Poor thing."
Vicannia says, "RP, while utterly useless for xp, has been really fun this last week. Especially in regards to the plots that I've been a part of."
Empena says, "Hmm, not really the best, but making due with it."
Taunya claims, "Been busy with RL things a lot, but things are going well ICly at the moment. Will hopefully have time to really get into things this coming week."
Margaux says to Lance, "You need to upgrade to the level 2 cane and sense of entitlement, it helps. "
Lance grins.
Lance coughs...?
Kinaed muses, "Wow, this is probably the most mediocre week for a lot of people in ages. I'm sorry to hear that. May I ask, is it anything game structure related or more in the space of 'it's just what's going on at the moment'?"
Alessandro states, "Yeah if there were GL's with some experience to teach some people how to be a thief. There's no guild direction right now."
- Staff Updates
- Player Heartbeat

Vicannia states, "I have a topic I'd like to bring up"
Empena says, "I would, but I apologize in advance I'm on mobile."

Azarial states, "Can;t be any worse than hen I posed corpses in the morgue playing cards, and it looked like the scene froze with one stabbing another in the eye with a turnip for cheating, an cards hanging out of sleeves and collars"
Kinaed claims, "Adding you both."

Temi says, "Assets don't currently have IP on them, actually, though we have support for them to do so... We didn't actually come up with standards for which should have IP.. so that's not there yet."
Temi says, "We don't have guild-tied assets."
Bofaha claims to Empena, "Harass your nearby bard for all the news telling "
Nadya queries, "But... Uh. The main thing was assets either give IP or money, right?"
Kinaed says, "GLs won't get an asset tied to their guild, though I suppose they can create one and thematically tie it to their guild."
Temi states, "You may be confused with the noble domain ones."
Kinaed nods at Temi.
Temi states, "They will."
Temi nods at Nadya.
Kinaed says to Nadya, "Yes, but not support slots."
Vicannia says, "I thought there was talk of GLs having an asset tied to the role specifically, or I may be misremembering."
Kinaed says to Nadya, "Support slots are different to IP. IP is what you get for having support."
Empena wonders, "So are current metrics payments for Guilds disappearing?"
Kinaed states to Vicannia, "Not to my knowledge."
Margaux states, "'support points' are kind of a hidden metric under the hood that influences your IP. They determine your support slots AND your IP."
Kinaed states to Empena, "Nope."
Temi says, "No, current metric payments are a separate system from assets."
Azarial claims to Empena, "Not that i am aware of"
Empena nods.
Azarial claims, "Nor are the holding accounts that pay out ot the various guilds; taxes, fines, etc."
Eirian says, "There was never talk of GLs having specific assets. Given the turnaround for some guilds, I can only imagine the headache that would cause, anyway."
Azarial states, "Though if no one pays, say, fines, the related guild won;t get paid."
Bofaha coughs knights*
Caterina coughs MERCHANTS.
Temi states, "All this coughing, sounds like the Physicians may need to pick things up."
Kinaed trails off, "Okay, in the interests of time..."
Kinaed smiles, "Niamh, you're up!"
Niamh claims, "This week I updated a couple helpfiles (OSAY and RUMOR STANDARDS) to clarify their purposes and policies, and kept the recommendations queue, request and typo boards clean. No large project this week, just day to day maintenance. "
Bofaha grins at Temi.
Kinaed states to Niamh, "We love having our recommends and phome requests processed though, so thank you. "
Bofaha declares to Niamh, "Fastest recommends in history of recommends!"
Niamh smiles.
Bofaha claims, "Not to mention what a speed on construction"
Eirian states, "The day-to-day maintenance thing is super important, and I have been really impressed with how quickly that stuff has been getting done since Niamh's been on board."
Alessandro claims, "She faaaast."
Bofaha says, "As fast as a snek"
Kinaed pontificates, "Okay, that wraps up the Staff Updates portion of this discussion. Next up, Player Heartbeat!"
Kinaed nods at Eirian.
Caterina agrees with all of this.
Niamh claims, "Gah, thanks! I'm happy to hear it's been nice on the player-end."
Kinaed queries, "How was the RP last week folks?"
Taunya cheers for Niamh.
Bofaha dramatically raises his arms and voice as he exclaims "Conflict, romance, love, war, hate, crashing scenes, scaring ladies... and then there is rp, which was pretty kickass this week!"
Alessandro states, "Mostly boring but eh."
Caterina claims, "It was a slow RP week for me, but the RP I got was great! And another shoutout to Niamh for playing along with my drunk raccoon nonsense. It gave me some fun ideas for slightly more serious events in the future "
Marisa says, "I have been barely involved, but I don't think that's anyone's fault but mine"
Lance claims, "I'm enjoying it. Being a noble takes so much effort yo."
Lance passes out.
Vlora claims, "Didn't manage to get a whole lot done this week"
Aenaela declares, "Ihaven't really been involved. My fault though!"
Caterina states to Lance, "All that makeup you have to buy. Poor thing."
Vicannia says, "RP, while utterly useless for xp, has been really fun this last week. Especially in regards to the plots that I've been a part of."
Empena says, "Hmm, not really the best, but making due with it."
Taunya claims, "Been busy with RL things a lot, but things are going well ICly at the moment. Will hopefully have time to really get into things this coming week."
Margaux says to Lance, "You need to upgrade to the level 2 cane and sense of entitlement, it helps. "
Lance grins.
Lance coughs...?
Kinaed muses, "Wow, this is probably the most mediocre week for a lot of people in ages. I'm sorry to hear that. May I ask, is it anything game structure related or more in the space of 'it's just what's going on at the moment'?"
Alessandro states, "Yeah if there were GL's with some experience to teach some people how to be a thief. There's no guild direction right now."
