Fyrd Argentus

a) Winderwild mark is current GG, but they are only found in Marind Bell. b) The mark for Marind Bell, for archers, is "MarindsBell" with an S. Yes, I often add the S but I think I'm wrong -- the map has no S.

Here I'll post a schedule. Please PM directly with slot requests and questions - try to save REPLY for actual entries. Most stuff by Fyrd can easily be moved around. Don't be shy about asking to take one of those slots. And of course spontaneous presentations are most welcome! 0:00 Fyrd Opening Words -- first Video Parody Song Revealed: Ode to a Tree. 1900 Deadline for submission for 2300 Event 2000 ??? Open {Fyrd possibly late returning from lunch} 2300 Lashtal's Bathing Suit Competition. See link for details https://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/19648-quest-time-to-take-a-bath/ . 2400 Fyrd Closing Words, Final Acoustic Remains ============================== The following games are available to play if there is enough interest: Ungod has offered to run Trivia contests throughout the day. DG wrote a board game - see post below. Fyrd's SOLSTICE-THEMED PUN CONTEST - postponed due to lack of attendance. Fyrd's "Pass the Gas" (hot potato). You're encouraged to bring extra RP items of the stinky kind to confuse/complexify things. Fyrd's Mind race - compete for speed on the puzzle on Berserker's Way. Ssclorp claims 13 minutes for all shards. Fyrd's "Drunken Charades" (well, sorta like Taboo). Everyone is encouraged to bring beverages that will keep all our tongues tied up (but I have managed to score TWO casks of beer, so no worries).

When you access item inventory on the right panel, it's in nice alpha order, and you have categories, and even search filters. BUT you can't see item descriptions. Go to the menu-based inventory window you can see item descriptions but all that nice interface stuff is absent. It would be so nice to have, dredging through long pages of inventory items in random order... [Gosh-awful tip: if you expand items, the order changes, and they are then in reverse alpha order, which actually helps....]

The item inventory window is also smooshed, but only if the bottom menu is showing. Very very low priority.

Please close, before I get further humiliated.

Perhaps others should create MP3 alts they intend to leave on GWI, such as my dog Fetch. Rather than one person sitting there bored, waiting for an arrival, if we had a lot of people just "checking in" every time they logged on, we might catch more newbies. I'm developing the habit of dropping in for a peek several times a day.

Fyrd iMac OS X Chrome. Every clickie I've looked at today, the upload link is part covered by the password link. Medium-low priority I guess...

June 20 all day long, to recognize the fulfillment of spring's promise, and the beginning of summer. Come to the GoE and present -- whatever you want, to honor the occasion. You can present a ceremony, a dance, a literary work, a song, a game, a vaudeville act, or whatever you wish. Use in-chat links to present artwork etc. There will also be minor events and activities all day long. Please join in and host some games yourself - I can't be in the realm all 24 hours. Everything I (or anybody) can capture on the AR, or you post in a reply below (especially for prepared works) will be given time for judging by up-arrows (let's say end of June). (Of course, these are forum votes, not alts). The entry with the most up-arrows (minus its down-arrows) will get a wishpoint (provided it gets at least 12 up-arrows) OR AT YOUR OPTION, A RUSTY (donated by lashtal)!!! Smaller prizes may be awarded at my option, and if you see something you really like, feel free to donate to that participant yourself! Let's join together as a community and make the beginning of summer something special.

On Aramor creature page "acrificing". Also may be better "in exchange FOR other things"

Ungod, maybe we should dedicate a clickie to this purpose. Preferably near an altar - Aia could help create one if needed. Then you can ceremoniously sac the darn thing. I'll code it if you want, so anybody can enter a name.

He's back, of course.

"Want to OFFER" my empty slots. I have 'em, you need 'em. Short term for shuffling, longer term for aging creatures you prize. Contact me. EXAMPLE: Lots of anni creatures have no upgrade levels, but you don't want to put tokens on them. I can hold them while you apply randomized tokens. For such a service, I would accept any RP item I don't already have.

Low priority, mere off-putting weirdness. Log on, enter arena, I get the first picture. Step away then back, I get the second picture. (Fyrd running Fetch, Mac OS X Chrome)

2x Item 6: Avatar goldening Token (can be used to make any avatar gold), Price: 40 plushies 1x Item 9: 16th anniversary spicy pickle. Price: 5 plushies 1x Item 12: 1 wiiya. Price: 2 plushie 5x Item 13: 1 token (of your choice) applied to one creature, Price 10 plushies Creature 636782 "Fyrd" to get Gold Belt, Dark Shield, Blood Drop 2 Creature 628554 "Basso Profundo" to get Claw 2 Creature 627612 "Descant" to get Claw 2

On gateway island, the description of the Grassan switches over suddenly to talking about Huvourers. Say what? Name changed? Also talks about throwing rocks and Grassan doesn't have a ranged attack. Needs fixed. {Later: description in the Armory is the same.}

Another alt, first time approaching the guardians, screen shots. No changes.

Well, Fang gets the gold coin for 1 week without being bested, nay, even challenged. Are y'all going to let it go a month for the wishpoint? Surely not! Where are the challengers?

Fyrd etc. as Bongo The whole business of drinking the potion to see the loreroot gaurdians doesn't make sense right now, as they start out looking like humanoids, and don't change when you drink the potion. Wasn't there supposed to be a different picture at first? I'll try to get snapshot proof with my other skulking alt.

This is particularly odious as he only went in and out because he was "killed". He did not exit voluntarily, nor by expulsion, and rejoined immediately.

Sorry no screen shot. I refer to the description of the 1000Wn armor item "Swift Lament", +1 defense. It is the first and only piece of equipment a newbie can buy. a) It claims to add to some abilities - briskness and/or speed, which it does not. Suggest you delete this claim. b) Newbies at this level will fall victim to the rule that armor can no more than double base defense -- i.e. it actually gives them nothing at the stage that they can buy it. Each will be puzzled about what's going on, wasting energy on the issue. Note they have 500 defense from GWI housing, but less than 1 base, and get nothing. I suggest adding a warning about this effect. "Note: Equipment can no more than double your base stats." c) I'm given to wonder if equipment shouldn't be stronger in effect, but this is not the place or time to bring it up, so I won't.

The capability bought in the shop says it only works through January. In fact the entire year is searchable. Suggest you just delete the last two sentences.

I'm trying to develop this scene (Coord: 3_3x-3_1) as a meeting place for role players, and a help-spot for newbies. I am currently operating a lost-and-found/free table/prop box using the hanging mug rack clickie on the tree. You could use this art, especially if there was an option to still use it as a clickie, or create a new bit of art (Aia did a good job activating as much as she could here for me). I am at this moment the only user of this clickie and can recreate the info thereon as needed. I would like to automate this process using a "Treasury". Title should be something like "Hung on Tree (Props / Lost & Found / Free Stuff) I'd also move the "job needed" advertisement for young creatures that no veteran wants here, and some consumables. Storage size 500/50 would be ample. This would be for Legend Speakers business, of course. I consider this a semi-altruistic way to help the realm, so am asking if a single silver a week could keep it open. Free would be better.

I should add that Bongo (age 3 days) always sees the above. Fyrd (age 11 years) sees the following (same computer):

Brand-new character, first time clicking on the Hooka. Bongo, 261216, iMac OS X Chrome Low priority unless we get new players....

Umm, this is NOT Fyrd, this is Bongo (3 days old). Note the actual win/loss scores. Bongo is not permanently balanced.
