Some of you may remember my old Madness quests, and specifically the "Little Tour of Sorts" quest I have up and running around MarindBell and the GoE steps. Apparently, the Tour script is a bit broken. :( I have been messing around with it this past week, to try to fix things, and am thinking the @storage methods changed a bit, but I can't quite figure it out myself. So: I'm asking to commission a code-wise person to help me. I don't need them written "from scratch", probably, just a set of eyes to see what might be wrong and update the new formats/syntax/etc. I'll send you the "Tour of Sorts" clickie scripts in a PM or somehow, and would like to work with you to debug, or update them to more modern concepts. Payment?... um.. I'm kinda out of the loop, but name your prices and we'll negotiate. :) If I can get my head wrapped around code again after this past year's brain-death, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance. -Maebius

Yes, but this is still a valid question, since entering the Laby is a non-whitelisted scene, by the way I read it. :) However there are more than two ways to enter GG, so it may be a moot point??

Possibility, since you need the Exploration points the first time you enter a new scene. Hmm......

No no no.. Flash Bulbs. Use them and all but the arrows will be hidden, for a time, until the glare wears off... because: Flash. lol :P

The stomping in the wooded dark, The glimpse of distant fire's spark. The purple haze as dusk descends, Hides all the forest denizens. It's not just Bigfoot you might fear, There's Dragons too, both far and near, But though they next door may reside, It is from YOU that they all hide. -Maebius/Nate

What they all said! :D

Totally making this up, but I always figured Erolins was a jumbled form of the word Eidolon, from Greek. (Like Aramors are not Armors) (Greek εἴδωλον: "image, idol, double, apparition, phantom, ghost") I've always viewed them as not just Heat Storage things, but Light-avatars of ourselves/ Will/ Potential Energy / etc. Words fail to describe the thought in my head, but it's there pretty solidly. They are not-Shadows, which we store our energy(heat) in to use as a battery later.

Give me a crime, I'll do some time. :P My thoughts were going to be around the levels of 15k Heat as well, (though I like Hiria's as well) presuming lack of Training happening there. it would take some dedication to get this, without Heat Stones/spells and Erolin stored could only get you so far. I can picture it as a Heat-vote sort of thing like the old clickies. Store the heat over time, and if it's above x# for a specific time cycle, then it "melts".

Happy Happy Birthday!

In service, shared, I reflect my self-worth. In Social crowds, I shine. But hidden alone in my apartment's couch, I'd slowly lose my mind. The good in others, easily glimpsed, myself I see it too, but it's much brighter outside these innermost eyes, which are coloured a saddening blue. My shoes have been given, when blisters were felt, and others needed walking more soundly. My cooking's not perfect, some burning was smelt, but such things make my happy, profoundly. But standing alone, is the thing that I fear, and why last year you all not found me here. This is Maebius. This is me. in a nut-case shell. The cage is one I instinctively to look into, and hear the birds singing... or something. :) (edit: I do not post this for proper TB citizenship... I think... but the question and opportunity struck a cord that NEEDED this reply today. so it's posted.)

Very interesting..... http://colorquiz.com/results.php?code=m,2,3,1,4,0,6,7,5,3,2,4,1,0,7,3,6,5,5&p=full

PM'd you via the forum since I didn't catch your echoes in-game to message there. :)

oh, pick me, pick me! hehehe

Totally offtopic. (or is it?) .. but wanted to share with you MD folks. http://www.iflscience.com/brain/brain-training-can-teach-synesthesia-perception Neat! I'm trying it this week. :P So far, no luck...

I personally think Principles should not be changed, as (other than the ancient fossils and the Archer-drain/swap like Rhaegar mentioned) we picked them. Even if not what we want now, we wanted them then, for some reason. However, I think totems Tokens, (d'oh!) should not relate to them then. Which is a huge overhaul of the totem system, I realize, and may cause Drama. But I always felt the Totem-link and the Player-link were never really the same thing anyway., so shouldn't be related at all.

Aha! I knew this was in my mind before: http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/14549-suggestion-mds-active-playerscoordinates;/ Maybe merge the topics, mods? Please & thank you. :)

That would be awesome, I agree. The scene seems to already now this in-game, as it is displayed, so the functionality should be 'somewhere', but I don't know an MDscript function to do the same

I randomly do what my friend calls "Flash poems". I get 3 words, and 5 minutes and a pencil to write it down. Here's my collection. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nyTJxWK_EEHeTr2D1gb0RFA03AoHQSfJXhdQeOsnqS8/edit My favorite though, is this one... Bigfoot, dragon, purple! The stomping in the wooded dark The glimpse of distant Fire spark. The purple haze ,as dusk descends. Hides all the forest denizens. It's not just bigfoot you should fear. there's dragons too, both far and near. But though they next door may reside. it is from YOU that they all hide!

I can confirm the Contract killing can be countered. When I set out to take down the entirety of the TWs, it was tricky to even get the three folks we did kill, killed. Partially my own schedule, partially Things Folks Did, to prevent us from executing individuals. That's almost one reason I enjoyed the two we did manage to kill off, beyond the first "surprise!". I can't speak towards OtherArmy or any of that, as I am not a combat-oriented person here. However, being dead myself a few times, I think that there is ample opportunity to interact with the community, with the caveat of IF The Community interacts with you. I can't recommend any new mechanics or such, really, as I agree with the current situation, but do think that most folks who are "killed" are not new folks who would have fewer "friends" to contact and help out. This is good. That being said, if the person killed was "unpopular", and that definition is up for debate, it's rather easy to make their life frustrating by killing them, not reviving, and letting them deal with Molquert and such alone. As DD stated, this is fun, the first few times. Guess I don't have any real answers to add to the topic, other than to state that I see some potential weaknesses it the current system, but overall Agree it is a good system for most and does not really need too many changes, IMHO. c'est la vie.

I lurk a lot. Would not say "active" in the realm as far as chatting with folks lately, since I've been trying to bug-hunt on my Tour of Sorts code that broke somehow... but I'm logged in daily again, idle-in-scene-but-mentally-active-in-windows-of-MD. I don't have a Role though, to my knowledge. :P

Happy Happy birthday! :D

I feel rather obligated to vote for St Peter: seeing as I like the creature type... St. Peter Agien ID:506965 9 Silver.

Burns said it better than I would have. :P

Jester - Ruler of Nothing gets a vote in my book. I didn't see him in Lot 1.
