Maebius

Just a general statement of interest here. I am wondering what sorts of "usable" items are out there, and on the slight chance that some may be for sale, I may be interested in buying. Clarification: Usable = tagged as code-able, not in terms of "tools" used to process resources and things. Though if others want to sell a tool with a 'use' instead, I'm still open to that interpretation as well, depending on prices. Also, regular boring old unused items can can also be offered, and will be considered for purchase. Prices are of course negotiable, and may in fact be out of my range, but I won't know until you offer. Lets see what folks may have to trade!

Happy Happy Happy Birthday!

congrats chewie and the rest of your fine uopstanding citizens. I was offline, sadly, all day without a signal, so missed it. Glad to see such a great turnout though!

Hope to be there, it'll be close for hte 22:00 slot for me based on my tenative schedule, but I'll be hopeful in attending there!

Aww, I have to second that while TTL as a character really got under my skin at times, I actually really enjoyed your difference of opinions. Having a foil was nice, and I had hoped for Great Things(tm) from , as Granos mentioned, your unique ability to "play the people". Maebius, for one, will miss you with sincerity. Best wishes in that other realm.

Turning off viscosity would require to develop in the future two sets of rules MP3 and MP4+... and I guess not all implications may be obvious then at a first glance (more maintenance). Unless the difference would be basically setting effective viscosity for MP3 to be 0 everywhere and some location entrances would be inaccessible for MP3 [/quote] (edit for clarifications and glaring typos) The best solution in my mind is to make Viscosity calculated by MP level. Something like MP#/3 = Viscosity multiplier. So MP3s would have 3/3=1 multiplyier, and the MP5s would be at 5/3= 1.6 multiplier. IN this case, the max Viscosity for a newbie would be 40, and those of us at MP5 it would be 64. I like those numbers octally for some reason. Of course, if those values are too high, then perhaps adjusting them to a max of 30 (mp5= +48 max viscosity) or such would be more liek "Current" values. Further adjusting of the calculation would be at the judgement of the Muir of course, but would prevent specific If-Then-Else checks to impliment different rules for each MP level and is just a quick math calculation, instead, and globally adjustable with ease. Having a max of 30 would still slow down exploration of "unused/thick/viscous" scenes, but a single regen tick woudl allow movement for them, rather than the current issue of one step every half hour or so, on average, once you get "stuck" in a distant place. Yet, the MP4/5 folks who are in theory more used to things, would still suffer a "two tick" pause, like it is currently. Of course metaphorically, this would mesh well with my thoughts on Mind Power being able to influence the realm more directly, and vice-versa too, and thus might "fit" MD properly, the way I see it's symbolism in some regards.

Gorts everlasting Grass (ID: 13109) A small bag used by Gort Hedera to store the grass she collects for when she gets the urge to create another of her bracelets. The other items I have were already mentioned above.

[quote name='xrieg' timestamp='1310558357' post='87819'] I can offer 12000 heat collected to a jar for 1sc [/quote] I can also help with this, for similar prices, or barter of other services and items/coins.

Happy Happy Birthday to you both!

[quote name='samon' timestamp='1310395106' post='87609'] At the moment viscosity increases way to fast in the remote areas, and is constantly at -40 in the more crowded areas. Perhaps rather than dividing the world in places with faster and places with slower growing viscosity it would be better to make viscosity increase faster when its lower and increase slower when it's high. [/quote] Hmm, instead of making Land citizenship adjust the viscosity of a land, I wonder if "times visited" could be used somehow. Perhaps a cube-root or such, so that visitng a place very often would reduce the overall Viscosity as it currently does, Plus adjust your own movement there by a small amount. Having a square-root or larger-root modification would prevent things from getting too easy and 'diminishing returns' to make larger adjustments harder to gain... (math folks can suggest appropriate algorithms here, but hopefully you understand the reasoning). Otherwise, I agree, that gaining two points an hour, and only losing 4 points when a character walks through, it is currently a losing battle for my alt to even try "Saving a scene" as the regen counter must refill twice for every two steps I take, preventing a reduction in the Viscosity of a scene for longer than a few minutes before it also "regenerates".

I like this. I like this a LOT. As for using up memory, and the disjointed view of how that works, I think it's perfect. Consider watching a movie for the first time. You are excited, or have otherwise strong emotions. The movie is awesome. Your memory of "the first time" is great. Watch the movie again. You may be able to quote more lines. The memory of it is stronger. Yet the emotion is different. You've seen this before. While it may be the best movie ever, you'll eventually go watch something else. The "memory" is not the same. Change happens. I like this. and I like that 'alot' too.

Consider me saying "Happy Birthday" to both of you lovely lasses on your birthday, even if it's a bit belated. (blame camping and holidays if I'm a bit delayed in warmest wishes and blessings for the anniversary of your entering the world!)

[quote name='Quashen' timestamp='1309503407' post='86938'] c'mon everyone lets make a big Facebook family and post you're FB names here !!! [/quote] I am on facebook, but will make people search me out if they really want to friend me... if you know where to look. I won't post the "Who is Maebius on FB" spoiler in this thread.

[quote name='Pipstickz' timestamp='1309457803' post='86918'] on the flipside, this could give people the ability to control access to certain locations, which is an interesting idea to me. [/quote] Agreed, there will be some interesting places to visit, or not visit, and all based (essentially) on us. Do we like certain scenes? We can act to keep them fluid. Plus, who knows what strange other changes Mur has up his sleeves, with the 'new' MP6 coming, and such plans...

Best of luck! It will be nice to have a citizen on the greatest Land in the realm*, as a protector of it's people. *Greatest land is mentioned as opinion only, and not to be construed as fact among all inhabitants of MD.

Best of luck in the Council app, Windy-lass. For Marind's Bell, and pub-drinks for all! Huzzah! ...er.. or something. Oh, and I'm on facebook too, but very, very infrequently other than to keep in contact with out-of-state family.

I really like them. Most especially the one for Golemus because I can't see that durned boat normally. *laughs* Otherwise, they are great and would have absolutely made me click through, if I wasn't here already.

one more day.....
