Fyrd Argentus

Okay, life gets more complicated. tankfans and J-D have sent submissions, but there have been developments in-game. To make a true community effort without requiring game hard-coding (a rare thing these days), it may require multiple cauldron items, held by different people. Two schemes present themselves - a special resource gathering tool followed by a cauldron item, or a cauldron item that takes as input the output of a first cauldron item. Given that we have the drum (caller of the dead) resonating with the community garden apple tree branch (bringer of life), the concepts are beinginng to crystallize more fully. Give this some thought. Be creative. And bear with us - we were told that creating an important articfact like a revive item is SUPPOSED to be challenging.

Proper attendance -vs- price equation..... marketing 101 The total price is not just coins, so at for low coinage, the attendance is independant of coinage, and raising the price won't matter. As the price goes up, it will become significant and attendance will start to trend down more and more rapidly, until it takes a nose dive at the point where nobody has the coinage to join no matter what the draw. Multiply attendance curve times fee charged (straight line trending up) and you'll see profits peak when the coinage is just high enough to start making attendance drop noticably, but not too deep into that zone. I don't have actual numbers of course.

Vote this up or down with the opinion arrows. Add commentary as you see fit. Should I grant Rumi a wp for his efforts on the garden specifically so he can give the scene a "Community Garden" type subtext? Notes: It might actually be necessary to grant it to somebody else with access to that wish shop function, not sure how deep it is buried, but it would be a reward for Rumi's efforts. I do not wish to be accused of trying to help my own spirit-revive efforts via wp granting, so I'm throwing this out. Perhaps some other wp-granting agency would see fit to do this in my place if my own entanglement with the garden is unacceptable. Thoughts?

Here is my response to tankfan's entry - should be made public.... "Thank you, very nice idea. There are elements of the community getting involved who want input, and if you wish to tap into that, another, later submission would be accepted. Awiyya thinks there should be wiyya involved. Someone mentioned fenths. The community garden group wants to be involved, and there is discussion of activating a certain apple branch tool, using the drum, to create special growth/seeds. Stay tuned" Response to Paracelsus -- Unfortunately, the dead aren't going anywhere fast. That's the whole point. The official bodhran description - A wooden drum made from Loreroot oakwood and knator hide. Decorated with crests representing the earth and the forest. On the sides are a symbol of a sun and a moon. There is an item avy, and it is incorporated in Fyrd's avy and Fyrd's story in [=] doc. There is also a photo of Fyrd holding a real one in the photo gallery - not to mention google. No particular deadline - we will push until some authority grants the petition, or sends us up the rivier. We might suddenly find ourselves in a "give us the recipe NOW" situation at any time.... in which case we'll go with what we have at that time....

The march to the community garden is complete. See log above. Those interested in finding a way to raise the dead can meet with us in the garden to discuss Life.

I don't know. I am somewhat ignorant of how the cauldrons and the cake work. "viable" is important if we want to get this implemented, but I don't (yet) know what that means.

Okay, let's assume that the powers that be allow Fyrd Argentus's Bodhran (irish drum) to be converted to a cauldron-type item. Assume that it's function is to take some sort of vegetable matter from the community garden, some fenths, some wiyaa, whatever else is required, and create a pickled something-or-other that can revive the dead. We'll need a recipe. Now, I don't want to be accused of buying stuff with wp codes..... so IF AND ONLY IF there are at least 3 viable entries, and there must be some sort of judging based on artistic merit, then a wp will be offered as prize. If there are fewer viable entries, I will compensate said entries commensurate with my own goods and services on a negotiated basis, for the right to use said code, possibly modified, for my purpose. This is all about getting a community method of reviving the dead, folks, so let's see your best efforts! Post here that you have intention to submit, then send files as you finish, privately, in case there is to be a judging.

Should have said, the total logout did reset things. Close this thread? Thanks.

You're welcome to copy my list, add to it comments of others, change it around, re-title, whatever, and repost wherever, official or unofficial, you'd like. I don't want to go backwards in my attempt to build up the Legend Speaker's publication kiosk, however, so leave this thread here. There have been enough slurs lately about alliances not doing anything.

It started life as a response to some new player complaining that there was nothing to do. I moved it here last year, trying to build up a community events bulletin board, courtesy of Legend Speakers. That has obviously not reached critical mass for various reasons. Is there a better place for this advice?

I have begun a slow march from Wind's Sanctuary to the community garden, where it has been suggested I might find a lively plant to pickle (with wiyya or such) that could do the trick. All are welcome to join the march, and we can discuss our plans along the way.

(please forgive the pseudo-RP on forum – it seems to be called for in this instance). There seems to be a spate of death going around. I blame myself – before I came and started communing with the local spirits and stirring up that kind of trouble, no visitors to the realm died, except for silly reversible accidents that happened during the torch-waving festivals. Now, death is striking everywhere. Anyway, I am straining to my utmost to develop the power to bring back PLAYERS who have died or been killed. My knator-hide, lore-oak bodied bodhran (drum) exists as a non-usable item. It's original conception (see my story) is as a dimensional-shifting spirit communing device. I want to convert it into a REVIVE item. And I need everybody's help. I don't want to steal heat from the effort to revive Spartiatis. I don't have any wishpoints. What I will do is pledge to revive any dead player I can, with an absolute minimum of inconvenience like asked riddles, or promises of community service, or apologies, or votes of friends, or evidence that they are a positive contribution to the realm. Even a good villain is a positive contribution. I will never ask for "payment". So, help me help the realm. Suggest to me how you can help, and what I should be doing to make this happen. There are those who have offered wp's for use in past. That help will be needed, but the need is even greater still. We can do this!

[url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8589-mission-of-legend-speakers/"]http://magicduel.inv...egend-speakers/[/url] December 2010. 872 views. I feel I have been faithful to my stated mission. Nobody with any authority has directed me down a different path. I do note that I have not been able to recruit a large body of like-minded individuals - most wish to be more partisan and join a mainland alliance.

I have several times suggested that the disbanding and creation of alliances should be an in-game function, tied to mainland governance. It should be a derived from some authority with judgement, not based on some automatic rule or criterion. That said, in some cases guilds are created by Mur for administrative purposes (e.g. treasure keepers, lair guardians, etc.), and then mur/council should be that authority. All of MDA and Tribunal has somewhat shaky pedigree in that respect. It would be quite kosher for mur/council to say, "Legend Speakers is an admin guild no longer needed" and disband it, but of course that is not what happened in that particular case.

What I'm looking for is a reality check. Was LS doing nothing fundamentally different from anybody else, but still contributing something special, and I should be fighting to get it back, or does the community think the realm is better off without it as formerly constituted? Yes, LS is meant to be more publicly visible than, SoE, for instance. You should be able to figure out what we've been doing from the forum. Neutral, service-oriented group.

Please don't call my post a "rant". I was unaware of the announcement in 2009 still being in effect - it seems like this has been violated many times - notably every time a new guild is created, it has fewer than 3 members. I did not see the posts buried in the Tribunal threads, until Eon called my attention to them. Yes, we had just 2 actual members at the time of disbanding. So the wheel turns. I want to hear what the community has to say on the subject before I "take further action".

So, Mur wants us to pad our rolls with inactive members. Doesn't make sense to me.... And of course as membership dwindles, this will happen more and more.... Where are we going with this....? [color=#0000ff]Edit by Shadowseeker: Don't necro threads please, you can discuss it in the thread you just opened.[/color]

I have to formally protest, of course. We have 2-3 very active members (one pops in and out for training purposes), and I cut out the inactive players as a security risk. Why is this a problem for anybody? Where are standards set? Why should the council interfere in game play like this? I've heard grumbles that some thought the guild was not fulfilling the purpose for which it was originally intended, but that was not the reason given. We had no raid by Pip, no insults perpetrated on the realm. Somebody in administration just decided to get heavy-handed with us. Need I elaborate? It certainly makes my efforts and my vision seem -- unappreciated. Here is a chance for the community to voice their outrage (or approval) of this move by council. It would be impossible for me to make any lone activity that would answer the charge of the alliance being too small. If an effort to revive the status quo is made, I will support it, but I am not inclined to beat my head against the wall. I want to hear what the community thinks.

I get the message that I can't transfer (spicy pickles) from my current location. 2 different players, 2 different locations. It may have something to do with the disbanding of Legend Speakers and my still holding MDA citizenship. I have not done a total logout yet.... that's next.

The alliance should be reinstated, to reflect the reality of the community spirit which is the essense of CoE. It lives, it should be recognized by the game mechanics.

Alternate views of your creatures would be good. One quick view where you toggle through them quickly (assuming such would load faster) and a grand table view that displays properties.

The hints should be updated - particularly the bits about RPC's...
