There are some Kemo animations that nicely facilitate lying down on beds even ones good for massages and stuff, Though the server uses the PG -13 one which doesn't have them all. some of them I would like to see get added personally though I'll say this, I really think the whole kemo thing should be added in, even the dirty possission I think most of us are adult enough to be respectfull with it when in public. Also would like Kemo's Stalkade to be put in so Mercikillers can actually use those stalkades they can build.

Some Possitions I note available through adult not available in the PG 13 one Being able ot be on 4s Crawling. Different suspension possitions. ((Be good for the prison rp *wink*)) Different sitting possitions for inlap . Propped on elbow possiotions while lying prone good for laying on the bed and still being attentive. of course even the more full one of course is still female bias but all well what to do.

Also would like. Useable Shackle Post and Stockades ((you attach to them appropriately much like using a chair)).

We chose deliberately against the adult animations to not give wrong impressions of the server direction. We don't prohibit that kind of roleplay, but neither do we openly support it.

There are beds throughout the server that one can walk up on and then use either the "lie down" animation in PC tools or one of the KEMO animations we have implemented to lie on it. Not all beds are walkable, but I'm pretty sure some of the ones in the Foul Olde Spirit are.

We ran to the sounds of the thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
and tore the world asunder.

Re: Prisons...

Let's not forget another one that currently exists (as an event area) in the module: the Wells of Darkness, where ancient demon lords and other horrifyingly powerful creatures have been imprisoned for millennia.


-brief off topic, sorry!- i checked, and sadly the area cannot be accessed, maybe not in the mod anymore. i click on the ''go'' button when it is selected, but nothing would happen. there's the ''well interiors'', ''wells overlook'' and ''darkness'' maps that work, but not the ''wells of darkness'' one

I think there has to be at least one waypoint,trigger, or object available for the transition to work. Its either that or the area is corrupt or missing.

The mortuary penalty is one of the biggest reasons why if both my characters die, I just log off and do something else. 

That's an issue that sort of bothers me. I understand why it's like that, but I am not sure I approve.

Anyway, Pen is creeping up on level 29. She'd level with Licca, too, and our times are probably mostly compatible.

Licca and Pen need to have a long conversation or three anyway.

Also KEMO makes me laugh.

Also also we have had a couple of areas mysteriously vanish over time like the City of Brass, the Modron Docks, and the Ogre-Shaving Pits.

I'm pretty sure I know where the last one went... :nod:

I have an idea about this, kind of half formed at the moment. Ill let it ferment a while and then if it sems good, ill bring it up on the DM forums.

RPGs in general are always a sort of carrot and stick sort of game. Your primary "carrots" in this case are wealth and experience, measured in treasure, gold, and experience.

If you want to get more people to spend more time role-playing, give them a reward for doing so. Yes, you get XP pooled up surreptiously by getting a modifier when killing monsters, but it's not readily tangible or obvious.

I would propose giving players the ability to thwack each other with an RP XP stick. Maybe not 1000 at a time, or something like that, but set it up in a manner that players can reward each other for good XP. Event Managers and Dungeon Masters cannot be on 24/7, and when they are, they cannot be everywhere at once. I've personally found RP to be rarely rewarded outside of events.

If you want to encourage more RP, allow players a way to reward it. Put limits on it, certainly, and have a way to monitor it, but I sincerely believe that will yield you good results.
You would think rooting for Darwin in EMS would be tricky.

It's not.

all considered, and i had thought myself to gain languages via points, is still nicer to learn languages through rp with PCs teachers, i think.

We have discussed this before DM side. Thing is we never could think of a suitable mechanism.

Regardless of how we implement this we do not see a way that would simply prevent two or more friends from rewarding each other without any real basis.

At least DMs/EMs have ideally shown enough experience and maturity to be let loose with such tools and ideally they should be impartial and fair when using such.

So, here are the results...

1st Place: Darkrob for his suggestion of more RP "homes". This will perhaps take me the longest to implement, but can be sped up by people with some small talent submitting areas to me for integrating.

2nd Place: Two winners - Mr_Otyugh and Er_Nano_Infame for their suggestions about gambling functionality. I see this like one of the user placeables (a very cheap one) that can that can be clicked on to progress the game. If anyone knows of any canon planar dice or card games it may be worth seeing if its implementable.

3rd Place: There is one, but got to run out now to do shopping. Will finish this later....

... and back, so number 3, its Mr_O again with the SIGIS entry maker and ability to purchase the day's edition and read the news.

This is going to be a little tricky, and ill have to consult a bit with cryptc over the implementation, but i'm fairly confident its doable.

Additional notes/mentions:

Licca for the off topic point about the death penalty. It has generated some discussion DM side and we are looking at options. No promises at this time, we have a kind of idea but not sure at this point if we can get consensus on a solution.

Mr_O (again!) for mentioning the issue about redressing the hireable thungs and other NPCs. This is probably fixable by removing the checkbox "Never show Armour" on the NPCs and making sure they have suitable looking armour equipped (if necessary). I may take a look at this at some point, but if its an issue for you Mr_O then i'm sure you could make this change yourself and save me some work :P

I've got a few changes in the works at the moment and still got to sort out the Gatehouse transition issues, but then ill get onto working on these.

Winners: (Darkrob, Mr_O, er_nano) You are entitled to claim your rewards from me.

You cannot specify what you will get, but you can submit your preferred item type along with a custom description for it. To help me decide on the properties of your item let me know (via PM if you like) the character's name, their faction (if appropriate) or any other allegiance, class(es), and any background information that will help me with this. As this was a RP competition i'll be making the rewards as RP oriented as possible.

I'll pass, I just like tossing ideas. Whomever posts fastest after me to claim it can take it in my place, if you aren't one of the other winners. Though I'd suggest only posting if you think it can help you to build your character, not if you just want unique stuff collecting dust ;) use it or let someone else have it.
