Re: Upkeep and Slaves


I haven't really seen torture be any more imaginative than "stand over there and be a combat dummy".

Please understand that I do not mean this as an insult to you or any other when I say; "skill issue".

Roleplay is a skill and skilled roleplayers can absolutely perform scenes of torture beyond ...

Re: Upkeep and Slaves

When Ott and Janhorn got in trouble in Andunor, Ott got the prisoner collar and was told to farm 200 marble. It turned into an opportunity for her to hang out in Andunor, have fun, and talk smack about Janhorn while doing the odd marble run here and there. I liked how it was more imaginative than ...

Minor Doorway Bug

The issue: In the area Whidershin Edge (Cottage) [ResRef: ir_wharfqrt2], going up the stairs lands you backwards and behind the transition, which can result in very easily clicking or WSADing back down the stairs through the transition.

What I expected to happen: Go up the stairs and land slightly ...

Re: Recent Earthkin quarter changes - Have No Sense

The Grotto has very limited access to non-earthkin entering in the first place, so I think that should be all it needs.

While I'm here... I'd also suggest the Tungten Turret become a Gond temple for any race instead of gnome-only quarter and require a Gond worshipping character of any race to buy ...

I bet it's possible to make the emperor's new robes like a drug effect in the sense where you see your character clothed in a gown, but everyone else sees you naked.

Re: Meme Disguises

There's a difference between 'joke disguise' - ie, one that would be well within the bounds of the IC world we inhabit - and 'meme disguise', whereby it's a meme reference, only funny OOC, or leans too much on the fourth wall.
