So it's a bit of a lighthearted questionnaire, since I'm not sure if we've adequately marketed the SIGIS features, or if they're even paid attention to. You can select all or none even if you want... so it's not a poll in the sense of popularity contest as much as mapping the interest and existing knowledge around it. |

And a question of my own, has anyone heard the Sigis Agent in the Bazaar shout out the news? It should do it randomly roughly once per hour. |

Its talk range, so you would have to be not too far, although standing by the wall of Khazeet's you should be in range. |

Made a journalist, wrote articles with three of my toons so far, always fun to read the other articles. I like it.

3 votes already saying "Not sure why or how to use S.I.G.I.S" I'm sure Mr_O can give plenty of advice on this but ill put a little bit here. Firstly, hopefully the mechanical side is fairly easy to understand, and the convos and descriptions on items tell how, so here is the brief rundown: 1) But a SIGIS parchment from any of the 3 NPCs - Agent in Bazaar, Journalist in Bottle and Jug (Hive Ward), or Editor in Under Sigil Village. 2) Write your article by using the parchment on yourself. Fill in fields on the screen. Note, you can write under an alias by changing the name, especially good for RL faction members. We do track actual characters real IDs behind the scenes, but this is only in even of someone misusing the system. By the way, if you want to stop writing for a while, you can, just hit OK, and when you are ready to continue, simply use the parchment again. 3) Take your completed article to the Journalist or Editor (the agent doesn't accept submissions - this was to stop spamming responses to articles by requiring people to travel to submit). Use the parchment on the NPC and your article will be submitted. By the way, articles submitted remain visible for 1 week from their day of posting, regardless of when you purchase a copy of SIGIS. Now... on to why/what to write! Well, anything you like really. It could be a personal story relating to your character or someone else's. Something citizens of Sigil could be interested in. It could be a flavour story, something that just gives the illusion of life going on in Sigil. Or perhaps, you are running a plotline and use SIGIS to let people know about things. DMs/EMs can also use it to further plots as well. Feel free to go crazy writing articles, just as long as its IC and appropriate. And of course, consider creating a journalist character, or maybe someone who actively responds to news, like some sort of crazy conspiracy theorist who reads articles and looks for hidden messages or something.... although in the planes, any conspiracy theory is probably true somewhere... |

What could your character write about in the SIGIS? Big /small stories - interviews from people for their opinions. It can be super cheesy, but if it brings that grin in other players face, it's probably worth the time.

Added four new pages to this week's SIGIS. Might bring a few grins to canny cutters. Feedback would be appreciated. |

You're welcome. A little fix will go in next update as well. The SIGIS agent should periodically shout out the latest news but i made a slight boo-boo. Also, i think i know how to fix the issue of the missing cursor, but i need to do some experimenting first, so it may be a while before i get that one sorted. |
