Subject:  Just a notion

How's about a new/separate list for people to post items for sale? Could still
be an IC information type thing and so on, but I never buy items and would
rather see actually plot-related posts on *tps. (I have a hunch that there
might be a few others who share this opinion... could be wrong, tho). This
comes to mind because there have been so many 'for sale' notices recently.

Another list was made, but the owner wanted like, 10% of all sales going to
some kinda fund.

Well, _that's_ stupid, but that's doesn't mean there couldn't be a new one
without that ridiculous policy...

With the higher dodge ratings that people can achieve, I would think more ammo
in the game for boosting shooting would be nice. :P>

Subject:  Channels

I REALLY REALLY think that having a few extra channels around here that are
devoted to particular topics and open to anyone who wants to type @ch/add
<whatever> would be a good thing.  Especially if one was called "newbies" or
"help" or some such and brand new characters were automatically subscribed to
it.

Hell... there was something else I wanted to say about this, but I got almost
no sleep last night and my head is throbbing so I dont remember it.

Subject:  Blocking

Just a thought,
When blocking an exit to prevent escape or such.. Maybe instead of the message
saying <Name> is blocking exit, it could say <name> is standing in the doorway
looking impassable or such..

Point is, You can icly block a exit maybe, but it isn't gonna look that way
more than just standing there looking impassable.. Person or persons are gonna
relize that <name> is really there to block the way other than the fact they
are there.. Icly just a shove aside or whack on the head will remove them
anyhow. *grins*

Ok, just woke up so if this sounds silly just ignore it.

Just a random thought... -grins-
Getting drunk.  Should have something like when getting drunk (would have
to be a specific drink from the bartenders if this was
every coded) but if when getting drunk as such then maybe
temporarly random 'drunkeness' affects should affect that character
as well as random flutucations of Governing stats etc, resembling
drunkeness?

heh, just some random thought spam...

Subject:  Something that has been on my mind as of late.


Back when I was 10 years old.. Hmm.. before most of you all where born..  I
wrote a story about Captian Robert and his adventures aboard the USS Rosy..
One particular story which remains a critical history in my life was the time
the Rosy crash landed on the Purple planet.

Anyhow...  My idea for adding a great deal to the over all posibilities of
GW..

Before the last bombs fell and the world became as we know it today.. The
civilization had become quite advanced..  Archealogical studies have shown
this.  Several things in that history that would be of a interesting uptake
would be the international space station and the lunur coloney.  In fact as
the last bombs fell, both station and coloney where cut off from earth.  Alone
and without comunications from home several things could become of this.. The
space station was damaged in an attack and through radiation poisoning the
population died leaving the systems cold but functioning.. Slowly decaying
over a time.. But the station proved a vital link between earth and the moon.
The colonist on the moon where primarily a Mech group.  Needing the protective
enviroment of the big machines to do the mining and other jobs needed in that
atmosphere.  Left through generations and generations they have become a
highly cultish group believing that the earth is the forbidden world where the
gods live.

Could there be away for the two worlds to meet once again?  What would come of
this?

The USS Rosy? What about the 5 female sailors with the last name Palmer?

An addition to my last:

Lunur Mech's and their pilots are just normal humans and normal machines..
There was no bond since that magic was created and fed from the firezones
magical properties.
That isn't to say there isn't magic and its study on the moon.  However it is
a far more technolgical sociaty being completely dependant on the machines for
survival.

Would like to find out what it will take to get my Rangers into the game files
under groups.  Have written up a description for them.

What the Rangers stand for.  In creating the Rangers, Red Fang has given birth
to a organization to insure the population of the world a force to fight for
freedom and justice.  If there is trouble the Rangers will be on the side of
the poor and weak.
Red Fang gets his ideals for justice from the sword 'Lawgiver'.  From as long
as he can remember that sword has triggered his imagination on what law and
order should be.  Unity binds.
The Rangers are not a govermental force, more of a (united nations) peace
keeping force relying on alliances from all groups.  Dragonrider, Crystal
hunter, Soul Mech, Submariner, Recomb, and even Magic users may call on the
Rangers in a time of need.
Anyone can apply to join the Rangers.


Let me know what you think.

Dunno how feasible this is... but it might be nice for there to be some code
that shows a player when thier last boost in a given skill was so they can
avoid wasting time and crystals trying to boost again before they are eligible

Subject:  Generic Players

It would probably be a good idea to create a few 'generic players' that
newbies can look at as templates when they create their own character
information.  Players like 'recomb', 'submariner', 'crystal_hunter',
'dragonrider', each with a well-thought out .plan and .sheet, possibly with a
description and clothing and all as well.  Put them all in an example room,
and let players look over them when they're deciding what they want to be.

I've observed other players (and I) have found [Login] [Logout] confusing,
because it almost looks like one word when your eyes are quickly scanning the
screen.  A solution?  Maybe use different characters around the word--example:
*Login* and the usual [Logout].  Just a suggestion of convenience.  -_-

distinct bladed, blunt, whip messages so to avoid mixing up which is which.
