I won't lie, that's pretty badass. I'd love a shadow option (maybe please?), but really any of the three above look pretty cool. I foresee an increase in elemental beings shortly.

Melodie · April 2014

@Sarapis, @Tecton, any chance we can get a water mood too?

The elemental stuff is really cool, but Mel is definitely more of a water person.

Pretty please? I'll even help make it if needed!

Sarapis · April 2014

I was going to make a water one, but had a tough time with the messages, so moved on. You realize there's an entire thread for suggesting new ones though, yes?

Melodie · April 2014

I did but was unaware (or forgot, this is likely) that elemental ones would be a thing.

Let me brainstorm and I'll pop over an idea over there.

Can so see all those creepers that hang around the Minia archway looking amorous.

Trey · April 2014

I want to like a lot of these, but they're just so comically exaggerated.

Sarapis · April 2014

Well, that's kind of the idea of the sold ones. "Normal" moods are much more likely to be made public (free and automatic) or earned via questing/leveling/whatever.

Honestly, what might make a huge profit would be custom ones of these. You guys seem to be able to pound them out pretty quick (I'm assuming it's a template?), and it wouldn't be difficult to police for ridiculous ones. Limit two per customer, non-refundable?

Nim · April 2014

Yeah, I continue to have longstanding reservations regarding credits, but if I did buy credits, this is totally a thing I would get, so I'm morbidly curious how much it'd be priced at, if that does end up being part of the plan.

Jurixe · April 2014

Sarapis said:

I think there's a difference between classifying them as being 'unique' as opposed to 'normal' moods and them being 'exaggerated' as opposed to 'subtle', though, if that makes any sense. The predatory one is the best example so far as being a 'unique' mood while still being tasteful enough to use in day to day RP scenarios, whereas for others like the 'amorous' mood...well, I don't know about other people, but it's sort of difficult to imagine using that as a serious RP device (assuming you're not just fooling around with it [get it?

]) to add to the immersion of a scene.

I feel like it's especially -because- these are paid moods that people would want something they can use believably and consistently to warrant their paying for it. For the elemental moods, that's slightly different because it's not 'normal', so to speak, and so being a bit over-the-top is expected - but things like amorous, swagger et al are somewhat normal human reactions, so being exaggerated there to too large an extent might make people reluctant to pay the credits to get it.

Just my opinion on that, though. I'm aware that I've been making a lot of comments on this, but the main reason is because I think it's a really cool mechanic with a lot of potential, and I'm really interested on seeing where it goes.

Well, each mood is 16 separate messages, though five, for instance, are for says/say tos. What would take time in that kind of custom scenario is largely the back and forth with someone over the multiple messages in question. That's ultimately doable, of course.

Another factor that's important to us, though, is the balance between having to stay within the box, and being able to pay to go outside the box. If everyone can go outside the box, the box doesn't mean anything. It's the fact that many people can't leave the box that makes leaving the box valuable to some extent.

I can see the logic there, @Sarapis. The price itself could be comparable to the other ones, though, if you're basing it off the 4MC for elemental ones. Let's say this:

Reactions are base cost 25cr per.

There are at total of 16 messages to code.

Add in a discount for the bulk 'reaction' order: 300cr?

You could even limit it to one per person if you're afraid of largely devaluing the 'stock bought' moods. 4MC is going to run you about 120-160cr with an average amount available on the market (closer to 100cr when there's an abundance). At that point, you have three 'tiers' of moods (stock, gussied up, and custom). You guys love shit available in three levels, right?

Jacen · April 2014

Ok so, I can't get the queue system to work the way I feel like it should work. I think I'm missing something. So here's a few questions based on my experiences:

1) The syntax given by using the QUEUE command and looking at HELP QUEUEING are completely different. They share no common commands. Are there two different queues (not talking about bal/eq)?

2) Is it possible to use the queue system without automatically adding commands that were entered off their respective balances to the queue?

3) It seems that manually adding things to the queue through QUEUE ADD <bal> <stuff> won't start firing until you actually recover that balance. It seems to me that adding something to the queue when you have that balance should automatically fire the first item on that queue. Is there a way to set that up?

Jovolo · April 2014

You can't do point three atm, you can try and do it client side though. If have.balance then send("thing") else send("queue add thing") end

Kyrra · April 2014

Do scrolls suddenly have a really long page length on them? I'm unsure if the editor on Mudlet is crapping out or if I've actually hit some sort of line limit on scrolls.

And no matter how much I trim off this script, it just won't fit

Niraaeth · April 2014

Willpower regeneration (keyword: willpower)
- You and your allies will regenerate extra willpower while in the room.
- 6 room credits. (12 outside of a subdivision)

Does this mean I have to ALLY all the persons I want to use the regen room or is it enough if they have perms to enter the house?

EDIT: I'm a Monk, so that can be tricky for me.

Shunsui · April 2014

You need to ally them

Kyrra · April 2014

Or get lusted :x

Just need to trigger Kai trance break and qq to unenemy and ally a few people. What I have to do for my shopkeepers.

Kyrra · April 2014

What's up with the queue on jewellery designs from the UUC? I've heard that tailoring patterns are getting through alright but some of us have been waiting for over a week and almost two to get things if it's to do with jewellery.

Melodie · April 2014

My tailoring design has been about five or six days, so it sounds like just general inconsistencies.

Wilhelmina · April 2014

Is it true that Venoms will be taken from serpents and made a general trade skill? If so, what will happen to relapse?

Antonius · April 2014

@Wilhelmina Yes that's true. As far as what will happen with scytherus, you'll have to wait and find out. If Tecton and co. know already I don't believe they've posted it anywhere.

Howdy, Stranger!
