[Nirur Torir]

Hurray, it lives!

I'll play with my runes in the sand, putting them in various orders and trying to figure out what they do.

[qwertyuiopas]

Hint/metagame knowledge that you can't use by the nature of the game:
I made a few image of geometric shapes in a way.
Then put them in a directory structure.
Then split them into various components.
Then merged components to make the 3 discovered runes.

Code: [Select]

My Pictures
|_guild
 |_rune
  |-The three so far
  |_template
   |_power
    |-magical
    |-spiritual
    |_physical
     |-creation
     ||_one composite image that must still be split
     |-destruction
     ||-decay.bmp
     ||-fire.bmp
     ||-unknown_2.bmp
     ||_destruction.bmp(the composite/source image)
     |_manipulation
      |-b.bmp (undecided, like unknown above)
      |-manipulation.bmp(composite/source)
      |-motion.bmp
      |_transformation.bmp
So, to create a rune, I brows the directory by end goal, and take the final split images and layer them in paint. Then I save it to the rune directory with all of the others. Each rune is at least 2 images, and each type has a distinct theme in the design. One was horizontal lines, generally becoming squares, one was angular lines, and one was circles.

Forgot recruit roll:
2% chance: 41. will be 3% next turn.

[RAM]

*continues building*

I think I might keep going until there is a second story, maybe a tower...

Can I keep getting my token rolls for dreaming about magic?

[Dyjeccu]

I will make sure the leader knows where to find us, and return to the smith.

Dyjeccu will help the smith finish our equipment, then practice with the sword.

Ranar fell in to a deep sleep... he slept long and hard dreaming of far away lands... as he fell deeper into sleep he slowly lost him self... soon he was nothing but a spark and than even that spark died down until it was a hint of light...

no
no
NO!

I am not dead, I am alive!

Ranar woke up in a sweat... what was that horrid dream... it was fading... he was back.

He lost it the dream was gone... cheerfully he got up to go learn what he could from the smith... but something lingered... that brush is nothingness it left him subtly different. He now knew in the back of his head there was more... Sometimes he would ponder this when helping the smith.

Actions: help smith, ponder magic in free time.

New goal: Become the best magic smith in the land.

We are back baby.

I think the recruitment system is a little strange. Why would there be a chance for a new person applying? I mean, in-game it makes sense, but thinking outside the game, I think that you should just not allow recruits at all until you feel like you can handle it (you might want to have lots of enemies and some sort of "revival" system, so that you can kill people off and give new people a chance to play, but when you have room for the veterans they just wake up from their coma or whatnot and still have their stats).

That being said, I'd like to apply.
Name: Airag
Goal: To help others and learn healing magic

[dwarfguy2]

alfred is becoming a closer and closer companion, more than schaudy ever had. however, he is weak, and defenseless. therefore i take alfred to a trainer.

[Jopax]

I would like to apply aswell, seems very interesting.
Name:Thondar
Goals:To remember who he is
Background:A somewhat good fighter and a dabbling magic user he travelled the world doing stuff and generally trying to survive, one day he stumbled upon a mage doing something strange, something wrong to some people, without thinking why oor wheter he would survive he charged headlong into the bald figure, then there was a zap and blackness.
(If at all possible i would like my charachter appear somwhere above the campsite, then with a loud screem fall down into a tree scaring the crap out of anyone nearby, no memory at all)

[dwarfguy2]

oh, we're setting goals? okay, goal: to make alfred/butterfly a respectable and even famous member of society. will act as though goal is achieved if it happens to either pet.

[qwertyuiopas]

‼

Oh, everyone posted?

Will do the next turn roughly 20 hours from now.


As for recruits, the base chance will go up by one with each recruit, and I will decide who it is by going through all of the unused applications and giving each one a 50% chance. If it succeeds, the applicant will have 24 hours to accept or decline, and I will move on. Unless you specifically request that your application is ignored, it will remain until you make it into the game.

Remember, so far the town only just learned about the group, and virtually nobody else in the world has either. Furthermore, few who do know would be interested, at least until it is larger.


If it wasn't random, then I would probably unintentionlly give it a bias that really helps the players trying to not be especially unfair, so to keep the game balanced, the randomness will continue.

[Criptfeind]

When we get larger, like huge, will get be getting dice rolls not to see if anyone comes but to see how many?

[qwertyuiopas]

Probably.

And by then, most of them would(fortunately) be NPCs, for players to take control of rather than waiting to join as a new character. Although they still could.

[Criptfeind]

Ya I was thinking they could be apprentices and journeymen and any players that join are elevated to master.

[Cheddarius]

That's a good point. All right, then.

But I still think you should stop the flow of immigrants when you get bored of the game or have a lot of work, or at least bombard the players with monsters to kill some off. Otherwise the game dies, and that's the worst.

[Criptfeind]

I was thinking that the NPC can be used like:

Oh you have 57 apprentices, they work (Roll dice 78) hard and net you (x times 57) monetarily units. Than we will have income and we con concentrate on stuff that matters to us.
