  3. Hide Test/Experimental Clickies

    in New Ideas

    Posted

    Glasses of Invisible Obelisks - This magical set of glasses, when worn, will prevent you from seeing the cartography obelisks. Pick up your free pair up at Willow's Shop today! Just snatch them right off the desk.

     

    You can use the glasses to smash them into bits, allowing you to see the obelisks again. (Useful if you want to get those last few obelisks)

     

    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.

  7. Hidden erolin message and it's meaning?

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    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.

  8. Melt the prison gate!

    in New Ideas

    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".      

  10. The cage - TB citizenship reward

    in General Forum

    Posted · Edited by Maebius

    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.)

  15. Is It Possible Changing Principles?

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted · Edited by Maebius

    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.

    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.

    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!

  19. Consequences and Mechanics of Death, plus possible adjustments

    in General Forum

    Posted

    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.
