New area idea


The god forsaken land they call New Mexico..

In the game theme.. Was thinking of building or having built a area of what
would be the future New Mexico.. A desolate area of Evil Tumble weeds and
secret labs where the former government expermented on crazy ways to end the
world..
Such as having a site called Trinity where strange creatures and plants have
sprung up over the last several centries around the area where the current
(1900's) monument is to the first atom bomb..  Whitesands Missle range, where
a mutant band of renigades still comb the area for unexploded bombs and
missles trying to learn their secrets and reclaim the world..

Anyhow.. More ideas on this is growing in my head.. There is also the Secret
labs of Los Alamos where platonium waste has caused the land about to become
quite dangerous and ancient volcano's spew from cracks in the earth that where
opened in the holocaust..  Gathering info on all the sites..

Tents should be ablel to be broken in to. Cause if you think about it, is a
extremelly thin piece of fabric _really_ going to keep a possible intruder
out? I really don't think so...

I believe long ago it was stated that players offline are not to be molested.
So for example if you happened to acquire an item while the person was asleep
and you happened into their tent, said item was forfeit.

Mind you this is a recollection of a post, or perhaps someone said this but
I'm quite sure it was a stated GM rule, if wrong, feel free to direct
complaints to me.

Subject:  Novel idea.

Automated Char-gen.

Well lets start discussing it, I think it'd make it all around easier. The
newer recombifier will naturally be a good thing. What about subbies and other
stuff? I mean I'm sure everyone is thrilled that the PEC and that stuff is
still linked to the IC area that is Real/Time, how difficult would it be to
sever and reattach said area to the OOC lounge, a simple @go for when you need
wouldn't be so bad.

Onto the first note, I think that some sort of natural 'fighter' or 'mage'
creation type characters would be easier. I dislike that everyone starts at 0
with stats in the beginning but I guess thats how some would view it.
Personally I'd think that maybe 30 dodge, 100 bladed, blunt, 50 armed, and 20
melee for a fighter type, Maybe a 30 focus for a mage, or 100 claws, and bite
with 50 unarmed for a recomb, just something to get the players started.
*shrug* Just ideas really, discuss.

Roughly 100 potential.
It'd give you 7 shock, 5 electech, 8 melee, 3 armed and 1 perception. This as
an example. Now do you think that everyone here likes to spar their chars?
Somehow I do't see how a 100 bladed is going to be threatening, heh.

so 100 bladed isn't worth it why bother?

Subject:  100 bladed

Maybe because 100 bladed would mean that a new character doesn't have to
flounder through dying at the claws and teeth of rexes and raptors 100 times
before they can manage to find somebody to spar with?  Granted, these days
finding someone to spar with is easier... provided you know sparring is
possible and aren't too shy to walk up to just any old person wandering around
and ask them some questions.

One reason tents have been coded that you cannot break in is the fact that if
a $player logs off, IN their tent, Icly they are asleep. They would most
likely hear someone entering and rumaging thru their stuff, effectively waking
them.
Yes, maybe not everyone is a light sleeper, BUT it isn't fair to someone not
logged on (conscious) to be robbed/killed etc.
How could it be coded that the person icly sleeping could randomly wake and
attack the robber/killer/sneak thief?

yeah but easy enough to code it so you can't enter it unless it's empty or
unocupied by an offline player if they are online or they just leave it out
somewhere it should be easy enough to get into <chuckles>.

Ever get bored of being unconcious for so long? How about Dreamland, something
to do with your time while your ko'ed? It'd be amusing, any ideas as to what
you can do would be good. ;)

I think 'Dreamland' would be funny. Something derived from the CS matrix

Subject:  Something annoying to Newbies...

I have an idea. I think one's stats should be concealed unless they wish to
show them, as well as how long ago it was since they where created.
This does effect RP, because I feel that some are just picking on Newbies
because of the fact, that the newby can't do anything about it. That is really
annoying. Some people think they can just bully around newbies because they
have low stats.
I think that is totally wrong and should be recognized that this is happening.
Stats and game-age, as well as creation date should be, in my opinion
concealed unless that person wants them shown. That way, the person who's
deciding to pick on newbies..
because of low stats doesn't now if their going to win or get their ass
whooped or not.
I guess it isn't a big deal. And I'm not pointing fingers at anybody in
particular. But franly, this has happened many times and I'm getting sick of
it. It jsut bugs me a little.

fix it so players can't @eject things from them selves. Do the moo a favor
keep nowhere clean...Oh yeah along the same lines fix it so they can't recycle

Transport craft for mechs/cars/etc. Make them be VERY expensive to use. like
3k/flight.
