does the best they can, given what they know at the time, their skills and abilities, the
resources available, and the situation at hand. We will be respectful of this and each other at
all times."
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? If
you register a topic, please pre-write it so you're ready to present it when called upon.
Finally, who wants to scribe for today?"
Dragor claims, " Man, the snow was mean. I froze
"Himbopotamus states, "I can scribe"
Ghed nods at Himbopotamus.
Ghed claims to Himbopotamus, "Thanks"
Ghed states, "Okay, time to start this week's Staff Update."
Ghed has transferred Linn. [OOC]
Ghed says, "It's only me! But I can speak for the others."
Rowan waves to Linn.
Ghed states, "I did a lot of player requests, and only player requests. We had a very high workload
this week even with the new phome commands"
Ghed says, "I came up with an idea for a secret project"
Ghed has transferred plague. [OOC]
Ghed has transferred disasterisk. [OOC]
Yinadele exclaims, "Secret project?!"
Ghed claims, "Did I say that out loud"
Dragor claims, "Yes, you did."
HIEROPHANT says, "I LOVE secret projects."
Nospeedy wonders, "What is the secret project?"
Ghed claims, "A secret"
Sippycup states, "Lol"
Sue claims, "Search"
HIEROPHANT pontificates, "It isn't a secret project if he tells you!"
Himbopotamus says, "Well I don't know what I expected"
RamblingSeert says, "You're about as good at keeping secrets as a three year old Ghed"
Rowan queries, "How project-y are we talking?"
Deedee claims, "Too bad phome commands don't work for ghalls, woulda saved you some work"
plague claims, "I'm the secret project."
Dragor states, "Ghed will bring Boba Tea to the Grid."
HIEROPHANT says, "That'd just be a project."
Ghed claims, "Anyways Eurus has been doing a lot of stuff"
Ghed states, "As you can see he fixed steal"
Ghed has transferred Tomato. [OOC]
plague wonders, "Oh my god?"
Ghed claims, "Steal was utterly broken, and was not random"
Ghed states, "As in it was just not a real PvP system at all."
HIEROPHANT queries, "Can you steal coinage now?"
Ghed states, "Yes"
Motherof states, "Very glad to see it working again. That's awesome."
Rowan exclaims, "Yeah, you can!"
Himbopotamus states, "Time to stop walking around with the dumbest inventory ever"
plague muses, "It wasn't rolling? Like at all?"
Ghed claims, "It wasn't rolling, at all."
Yinadele trails off, "Lmao..."
plague states, "That's fucking incredible."
Dragor trails off, "Oh my god..."
Himbopotamus claims, "Wowwww."
plague trails off, "Oops, language..."
Yinadele says, "I wanna know how it worked"
Ghed says, "We had no idea."
Yinadele says, "Tell"
Tomato queries, "Omg are we talking about how broke steal was?"
Dragor says, "So people could just steal whenever."
plague says, "But it was incredible."
Dragor wonders, "Or what?"
Himbopotamus grins at Tomato.
Tomato says, "It was HELLA BROKE"
Himbopotamus says to Tomato, "Your vindication."
HIEROPHANT queries, "Did it just compare skill v stat directly? "
Rowan states to Himbopotamus, "I swear, thieves would look into my inventory and see things like...
a bowl of pasta, an untooled 8 ft statue, and ten rocks."
Ghed says, "No, it was possible to fail"
plague says, "Well Dragor I have failed to steal before, I guuess it was just not rolling and
checking a static value vs a static value"
Ghed claims, "But you would always fail"
Tomato says, "THAT EXPLAINS SO MUCH"
Ghed states, "And it was possible to pass, and you would always pass"
plague claims, "That's hilarious"
HIEROPHANT says, "Lol."
Ghed claims, "I won't go into details"
Ghed states, "Eurus realised it and fixed it promptly"
Dragor says, "Incredible."
Ghed states, "He's such a great guy"
Ghed has transferred Jackassaurus. [OOC]
Dragor says, "I love Eurus."
Jiraiya says, "Yay"
HIEROPHANT states, "I love Eurus."
Himbopotamus says to Rowan, "You don't even wanna know how bad it is in here right now."
Ghed states, "He also fixed a spell that wasn't working properly"
Himbopotamus states, "PROPS FOR EURUS."
Ghed says, "Temi did a lot of stuff for plots, and requests, and I mean a lot"
Ghed claims, "With that said, I've an announcement to make"
Sue trails off, "And spooked me... "
Ghed says, "We're getting two old staffers back to help us. Because they are very generous and
because we need them."
Motherof states, "Excellent."
Jiraiya exclaims, "Yay!"
Dragor declares, "Oh, that's good news!"
Himbopotamus questions, "Whoah, who's returning?"
Ghed says, "With this staff workload should be balanced and I can focus on new player plots and
mobprogs."
Nospeedy nods.
Deedee asks, "Are we getting a Niamh?"
Sue states, ": O"
Ghed claims, "One of them is Leta. I approached her about it and asked and we worked it out. She's
been very kind to give us her volunteer time again."
Himbopotamus claims, "! <3 <3 <3"
Rowan cheers.
plague says, "Loves leta"
Motherof claims, "Awesome. We'll be glad to have her back."
Jiraiya says, "Yay"
Tomato exclaims, "Oh wonderful!"
TheHatfield cheers for more help for the help
Dragor declaims, "Oh shit! Leta is back! Yay!"
Ghed claims, "The other is Ilena, who was our paladin of goodness in 2019, or 2018, I can't
remember well"
Rowan cheers again.
Ghed states, "Ilena too deserves a round of applause"
Jiraiya pontificates, "Yay! "
Himbopotamus exclaims, "Ooh, I don't know Ilena, but that's awesome too!"
plague clap
Motherof claims, "Sweet."
Konaa exclaims, "Nice of them!"
Deedee claims, "Sounds good
"Sippycup says, "Yays"
HIEROPHANT claims, "Before my time, but, hooray, faster processing"
Ghed states, "They're very generous and I'm deeply grateful of their volunteer time"
Dragor says, "Glad you guys get more support."
plague holds a masked, snowman-shaped dessert covered with whipped cream in his hand.
Ghed pontificates, "With that said -- time to move on!"
plague flips a masked, snowman-shaped dessert covered with whipped cream into the air, and catches
it as it begins its descent.
Ghed asks, "Alright people, let's move on to Player Heartbeat: how has the week been for y'all?"
Tomato exclaims, "Welcome to Ilena its great having oldbies back!"
plague claims, "I'm having an absolutely wonderful time personally"
Dragor says, "EOEOUGGHGE."
Deedee states, "Oof"
Sippycup states, "Great"
Dragor states, "This is me."
Motherof claims, "There is much happening."
Rowan claims, "This week's been very high adrenaline. Can't say I hate it."
plague stops using a masked, snowman-shaped dessert covered with whipped cream.
Ghed pats pats Dragor
Tomato says, "So much is happening its so hard to keep up sometimes"
Dragor claims, "Mostly uh because I have a wicked gastritis actually LOL"
Ghed questions, "It's been high octane for all eh?"
RamblingSeert states, "My week has been traumatizing and I blame you specifically for it Ghed.
Otherwise, pretty chill."
Ghed claims to Dragor, "Hot"
Konaa claims, "I just came back after a four months absence, and considering that the city has
almost opposite metrics to when I was active, it's made the experience quite fresh and strange"
Dragor declaims, "The game itself has been great!"
Himbopotamus says, "Yeah I'm roleplaying way too much it's a real problem"
Deedee claims, "There's a lot happening, yeah. Also a very stressful time at work though. Been
taking a toll"
Nospeedy says, "I am pretty out of the loop on stuff thats going on but I enjoy the stuff I get"
Disasterisk says, "Trying to replace placeholders with actual things"
Linn says, "I haven't even finished making my character yet, my first."
Motherof declaims, "Welcome back, Konaa!"
HIEROPHANT states, "I have caused a remarkable amount of mischief, a few close calls, really
getting good at making a nuisance of myself"
Himbopotamus exclaims to Linn, "Hooray! Welcome to the game!"
plague says, "Sorry about your work stress Deedee I hope you get good rest when not at work"
Rowan exclaims to Linn, "Welcome, Linn!"
Ghed exclaims to Linn, "Welcome to TI:L! Let us know if you need help"
Jiraiya declares, "Welcome Linn and Welcome back Konaa!"
Dragor exclaims, "Welcome back and welcome!"
Ghed declaims to Deedee, "Sorry to hear that!"
Ghed queries, "Alright, is there anything bothering anyone about TI that can be shared here and
now?"
plague says, "Hello Linn welcome to game, feel free to ask questions in visnet if you have need.
Everybody here is super helpful when they can be"
Sue says, "I stab things"
Ikeala says, "There's certainly a lot going on."
Tomato claims, "Oh I have a tiny thing"
Linn declaims, "Thank you!"
Tomato states, "Could we consider making 'receive list' for the courier work anywhere"
Ghed peers at Tomato
Tomato claims, "Just so I can know what fuCKING COURIER to go to"
Ghed asks, "It doesn't?"
Motherof says, "I updated my whois to sorta reflect some RL issues that affect my gameplay from
time to time, so-- just throwing that out there. It's been a little rough, lately on that side of
things."
HIEROPHANT claims, "You can only do 'receive list' at a courier."
Himbopotamus claims, "I thought it did"
Tomato says, "No you need to be AT a courier to see the list"
TheHatfield queries, "Is it too late to add my name to the topics? Sorry kinda distracted right
now, but I have a minior thing to announce if thats okay?"
Himbopotamus states, "Huh."
Ghed asks of Tomato, "That's a problem? You can go to the nearest courier to check"
Himbopotamus claims to Motherof, "Gotcha. <3"
Dreams states, "You can 'courier list' anywhere."
Tomato states, "I have aliases all over the damn city and its such a pain to find out which one I
don't need to pay at"
Ghed states to TheHatfield, "It's fine I'll write you down, pls pre-type"
Dreams states, "It says what your list is."
Ghed has transferred Cal. [OOC]
Yinadele declares, "Try courier list all right here!"
TheHatfield nods at Ghed.
HIEROPHANT says, "It is inconvenient if you don't have all your aliases in once spot."
TheHatfield states, "Already pretyped"
Ghed says, "(remember to gran snowmen)"
VivaLaVictoria declaims, "I have no idea which one I signed up for, I get charged five silver every
time!"
Dreams says, "Courier list all will give them all to you."
Tomato trails off, "Also people can RPA if you get your mail at a different spot so while you CAN
pay to get it anywhere..."
Nospeedy grans their snowman
HIEROPHANT states, "Yes but does that tell you where your mail is."
Tomato claims, "That doesn't show you which ones have mail actively"
Tomato states, "Receive list shows you which one has mail waiting to be picked up"
HIEROPHANT states, "And therein lies the problem."
Dreams says, "I do have a weird one I don't remember ever having, though. I need to ask about that
one."
Ghed states to Tomato, "Remind me later to write this down as I'm in a communal kitchen atm"
Ghed says, "Alright, time to move on to Player Topics."
Ghed trails off, "Unless I'm mistaken..."
Ghed states to TheHatfield, "... you'd be first"
TheHatfield wonders, "Just a public service thing? But there may be a mass in the near future. It
was planned for today after meeting if my help shows up. Keep your ears open please if you want to
go?"
Ghed declaims, "Oh we got a mass!"
TheHatfield claims, "That is all"
Rowan nod nods.
TheHatfield claims, "Maybe and maybe a promotion too"
Attention is mandatory.
Deedee claims, "Don't spoil too much
"Ghed exclaims, "Excellent!"
HIEROPHANT claims, "Wha-"
Linn claims, "Scary"
Sue claims, "I SCREAM AT GOD"
TheHatfield queries, "What was that?"
Ghed states, "That was me"
Ghed claims, "Lol"
TheHatfield thanks god for the support
HIEROPHANT states, "Spooky."
plague states, "That was God telling you to attend mass or be declared a heretic"
Ghed states, "Alright! Masses are important."
Disasterisk pays attention. Probably.
Ghed claims to TheHatfield, "Thanks for reminding us"
Deedee claims, "Massively."
plague states, "I love mass. I'll definitely be there. B)"
Ghed wonders to Dreams, "You had a topic?"
TheHatfield is waiting on another player first but yes
Dreams says, "I don't think so? I meant that I had a weird courier profile I didn't recognize."
Ghed claims, "Oh lol sorry"
Dreams states, "No worries."
Sippycup says, "Lol at Delana"
Deedee winks.
Ghed declaims, "I've an anon PSA about 'please remember not to idle in public if you can!'"
HIEROPHANT states, "Ghed is doing his best to run the meeting while frying something with the other
hand, cut him some slack.
"Ghed states to HIEROPHANT, "Literally"
Tomato says, "Yeah we have the AFK command if you need to step away but if its longer than 15
minutes you should probably log off"
Ghed says, "It's kinda weird when I take a look at a scene and 3 out of 5 characters are idling,
lol"
HIEROPHANT says, "Don't confuse him too much or he'll throw his phone into the oil."
Ghed states, "I've switched into Lysander once or twice and no one is at the keyboard"
plague states, "I feel soooo bad when I accidentally idle"
Deedee states, "Work happens"
plague claims, "Most of the time it'll be like 'Oh I should get the meat out for later' and then 30
minutes later I'm getting it out of the frying pan like 'oh'"
HIEROPHANT wonders, "I get overwhelmed in big scenes and tend to cut down my replies/avoid starting
new conversations and instead support existing ones. Usually if it's > 5 people?"
Ghed claims to Deedee, "Hitting afk might be best if you can manage it"
Ghed claims to HIEROPHANT, "I feel you brudah"
Konaa trails off, "I'm just spooked that you can possess Lysander..."
Tomato states, "I can't usually RP much at work, I only log in when I think I can RP and exit if it
gets too much in the way"
Deedee claims, "I do try to when I can."
Ghed claims, "This is why when I RP I use a trigger to color my alt's name"
HIEROPHANT says, "Of course.
My recent scenes have... made me the center of attention, we'll say, so that's less of an issue.
Ehehe."
Cal states, "Once or twice happens because life.., but doing it habitually projects slack of
presence and interest "
Dreams says, "I'll be honest, it's why I rarely do turns, at this point. If half the people in the
scene are just sitting there and not interacting, I stop waiting for them."
HIEROPHANT says to Ghed, "I use mine to make my client window flash in my taskbar! If you happen to
use Mudlet, the command is alert() in the LUA section."
Tomato claims, "I admit I also stop trying to target people after 2-3 times of being ignored, we
have some real shy folks who just sit in the corner and don't interact"
Dreams states, "And yeah, has happened to me occasionally, too, by accident. I lose a window, or
something. But, habitual is different."
Motherof claims, "Yeahh... I don't wait on folks who have demonstrated that they aren't fully
present."
plague claims, "I think turns are going out of style in most RP communities atm"
Tomato states, "Big scenes I tend to wait for 3 poses before posing again just to keep things
rolling"
Tomato states, "If its like, 4-5 people I'll probably wait for turns"
Ghed claims to Tomato, "That's my favourite thing"
Paprika says, "I might need to figure out that coloring my name thing. I often completely miss
things that people say to me."
Dreams says to Tomato, "That's my rule of thumb, mostly."
plague claims, "I tend to RP if I have something to RP at, kind of regardless of what is or isn't
happening"
Ghed claims to Paprika, "It's super useful"
Dragor states, "Mmm.."
Konaa states, "I do my best, it's hard to find a balance between playing a character who likes to
keep out of the spotlight and actually contribute to a scene"
plague claims, "If I don't have something to directly respond to, I'll emote accordingly and take a
step back for awhile"
Ghed claims, "Also for like, not just your name but your noble title or surname or rank"
Sippycup claims, "I makes smaller poses so sometimes do a couple if it fits or seems right"
Ghed declares to Sippycup, "That helps too!"
Ghed claims, "Anyways, I think we all get the idea"
Ghed declaims, "Thanks, anon contributor!"
Tomato states, "Well ultimately we need to remember oocly that 'emote sits at a bar, physically
present, but says nothing' puts all the effort on the other people to hook you"
plague declaims, "Thanks, anon contributor!"
Himbopotamus nods at Tomato.
Disasterisk states, "As a slowpoke, im on phone so no hard feelings if its not a super critical
scene and you pose ahead of me, ill try to catch up"
Ghed questions, "With that said I think we have no other topics?"
Motherof nods at Tomato.
Ghed nods at disasterisk.
Tomato says, "Which can be very valid if there's not an easy opening for you, but sometimes you
just gotta invite yourself to the conversation"
Ghed claims, "Alright I can send you all back unless someone wants to bring something up"
Jiraiya says, "Hatfieldhad a topic"
Sippycup nods.
Ghed muses, "Yeah?"
TheHatfield states, "Oh I did it Mass alert"
Ghed declaims, "Oh! right"
Tomato says, "General reminder to put up rumors if you do something in public that people would
notice"
TheHatfield claims, "That was mine"
Sue states, "I'm going to send the king hate mail every day"
Motherof says to Tomato, "Yeah- I'll emote that when I'm NOT looking for anyone to hook me in, and
just seeking a breather."
plague finishes abruptly, "I can scrounge around for a topic... by which I mean, actually -"
Tomato says, "And/or Just Hecking Lie, make up stuff"
Linn asks, "What sort of things, because I assume it's not everything?"
Dreams says, "Yes on the rumors. If it happens in public, especially. People will notice, and
people will talk. Even vague ones are fun to twist."
plague says, "Hey friends, we've had a decent amount of indirect pvp conflicts lately and I hope
everyone on all sides of all issues is having fun"
Tomato claims, "Anything that might be interesting or out of the ordinary"
Ghed states, "Things people would want to know about, that they have a reasonable chance of knowing"
Himbopotamus nods at plague.
Rowan says, "Things like arguments, crime, anything out of the ordinary."
Tomato states, "Every time Tommaso exists in a room with a woman, for example"
Ghed nods at plague.
Sippycup states, "Lol"
Ghed claims, "It's good to take a step back and consider your PvP something impersonal like playing
battleship"
Deedee says, "Half and half. Fun scenes, stressful situation"
Dreams claims to Tomato, "Clothing unnecessary. Or mandatory."
TheHatfield declaims, "Okay everyone mass is offically happening today! yay!"
plague pontificates, "When I feel like my character is at risk of being suddenly murdered I always
have a character concept in my back pocket so I can go 'now I can spend all that death xp on that
concept!'"
plague states, "I've found that thinking of what you will do in the case your character becomes a
brick on the wall is an important, albeit morbid, step to conflict rp"
Himbopotamus claims, "(I feel like 30 percent is too low for death XP to start at to incentivize
risky play, but I imagine that's been a back and forth argument forever, so.)"
Motherof says, "I really want more murders. I also am sad when anybody dies. Super conflicted.
"Ghed says to plague, "Yeah1"
Himbopotamus claims, "But yeah, embracing the possibility of death well in advance makes things
fun."
Ghed states to Motherof, "You could get the best of both worlds and be the one to die :3"
Himbopotamus states, "I like to imagine who will cry the most at my funeral"
Tomato questions, "If you are killed by a player or executed you get an extra 20 percen i think?"
plague claims, "30 percent"
HIEROPHANT pontificates, "Thirty!"
Deedee nods.
plague claims, "It can overcap as well iirc"
HIEROPHANT states, "And you get another ten for being various kinds of Bad Guy."
Konaa says, "I don't know how to play this game's combat still so I don't think I'll get too worked
up over being ex'd"
plague states, "The ten does not go over 100 percent however, the execution does"
Motherof states, "I have been extremely pleased with the XP payout I got back on two recent
character deaths. Just saying."
plague claims, "Iirc"
Himbopotamus claims, "Yeah but heck you'd have to get pretty high up first to break even if you
made a real rabble rouser."
Ghed claims to Konaa, "Give it time, it has a learning curve"
HIEROPHANT claims, "Yes, it can exceed 100 percent if you've got a big recommend-pile too."
Rowan trails off, "Speaking of, I need to get more recommends out..."
Paprika queries, "What is a big recommend pile?"
plague says, "I've found that giving people recommendations is the most successful strategy to
receive recommendations."
Ghed says, "10-15 when you are pkilled"
plague claims, "Spread the love"
Ghed nods at plague.
Ghed says, "Just don't try to game the system"
Motherof says to Ghed, "I am always willing to die. IF it's a good story. Just gimme a good story
and I'm putty in anybody's hands."
Ghed says, "And post 50 recs for trivia lreasons"
plague says, "Always meaningful ones, that's true too"
Ghed makes fingerguns at Motherof
Jiraiya says, "My recommends tend to get rejected. i should start trying again"
Tomato says, "Yes give recs to get them, people are reminded by them to recommend you"
HIEROPHANT states, "What if I have a REALLY good time in a trivia quiz show, Ghed."
Himbopotamus says, "I get/give a lotta recs but I'd love to see even more carrots for people who
play 'bad guys'."
plague states, "Looking for reasons to make people feel good about their RP though, that's
important"
HIEROPHANT says, "What if I run a Lithmore Trivia Quiz Show event."
Ghed states, "And especially send recs to the opposition"
plague states, "For what it's worth Himbo as a local crimer I feel exceptionally rewarded"
Tomato says, "The trivia can't be about why the Order is bad or the Order will come"
Ghed states, "I've seen some really good sporstmanship in that regard here of late"
Sue states, "I forget to recommend 100 percent of the time"
Sue states, "All the time"
Ghed claims, "Really good mages and orderites being nice to each other"
HIEROPHANT pontificates, "Oh! I'm totally biased, but - You can recommend anonymously, and can
recomment by request-board!"
plague states, "That's good of them"
Deedee claims, "From past experience, I try to wait until the line of RP ends before reccing"
Sippycup says, "I recommend probably trivial stuff and the other people make nice ones and i'm like
"ahw man they really worked on that.""
RamblingSeert states, "If someone comes up and stabs me with one line of RP is that justification
for my new character having their goal be to kill them or is that "crossover" and "seriously not
cool" (for legal reasons this is a joke)"
Ikeala muses, "Maybe a pop up on login to remind about recs?"
Himbopotamus claims, "Every week or so I try to load up my remember list and do recs."
Disasterisk gets a thousand-yard stare. "ill find the time to write some recs when i can"
Ghed states to Ikeala, "I'd rather put one for cnotes =3"
Ghed declares, "Alright if there's no more topics I can send you all back! TO MASS"
Himbopotamus claims, "But it can be tricky, esp the anonymous ones (sorry anonymous people)"
HIEROPHANT declaims, "If you have a fun encounter with a spooky spooker or a mysterious cloaked
thief, you can still recommend them if you had fun!"
plague states, "I make a cnote with a list of names who deserve recs"
plague trails off, "Then i write them when i have the time..."
Deedee states, "That's a good idea"
Ikeala says, "I mean you could that as well. I wonder if a lot of people don't realize cnotes give
a bonus."
Sue claims, "GHED don't forget about my echoes"
Sue claims, "I updated them"
Ghed claims to Sue, "Dav bless you"
Ghed declares to Ikeala, "Yeah! you gain more xp"
Ghed says, "Guys cnotes literally give XP IDK what to tell you"
Ghed claims, "Please remember to post rumors, cnote discoveries, and recommend each other for
meaningful RP =)"
Motherof waves.
Sue says, "IM SO BAD AT CNOTING TOO"
Deedee claims to Sue, "Straight to Ahalin."
Ghed claims, "Cnote or I'll lock you with pre xterm colors"
HIEROPHANT says, "Endeavor to find something to cnote every day. Do something cnote-worthy every
day you log in. That's the goal."
Himbopotamus claims, "NOOOO"
HIEROPHANT trails off, "NO..."
HIEROPHANT trails off, "MY DRIP...."
Sue says, "The reeves are already locked in fuckin PRE X-TERM"
VivaLaVictoria exclaims, "Noooooooo!"
Himbopotamus claims, "Cnote Kill Ghed"
Sue states, "OUR HEADQUARTERS LOOKS LIKE ASS"
Sue pontificates, "AND IT COSTS MONEY TO RETOOL IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
HIEROPHANT states, "Reach out to your merchant friends to replace it all, clearly"
Ghed trails off, "Alright folks, engaging warp drive in 3..."
RamblingSeert states, "She's losin it"
Tomato claims, "Get a person w/ that skill to fix it"
Ikeala states, "Fining more people is clearly the answer here."
Nospeedy states, "Beam me up scotty."
Ghed trails off, "2..."
RamblingSeert claims, "Ghed hurry please"
Deedee waves.
TheHatfield questions, "Give the reeeves a discount since they do the taxes?"
Ghed trails off, "1..."
Sue says, "30000 years ahalin"
Rowan screams!!
Ghed states to TheHatfield, "Lol"
TheHatfield claims, "Bye"
