Armageddon MUD General Discussion Board

Playability: things work as expected, intended, and overall enjoyably.


Unplayability: the opposite.   Some examples:

You're in a workshop with many crates and other containers that seem to have plenty of available space.
You get an item from one of the crates to look at it, then try to put it back.
The game gives you a message: there's no more room for that here.


You leave a building at night to do something. For one reason or another there is no light source on you, and it's too dark/sandy to see.
You try to go back inside, typing "enter building".
The game gives you a message: you can't see that here.


And other strange item mixups. Trying to dust your own cloak off, but you accidentally dust someone else in the room off. Trying to craft, and a few different things that share the same keyword are in your inventory; even differentiating between them properly with numbers, their order tends to rearrange itself and the crafting fails.


Generally any kind of text flooding. Combat with more than two people can get awfully spammy. Same can go for social situations. Also, needing to transfer a large quantity of items, and THAT just spamming everything too.


The game also isn't playable to an extent when there are certain commands and things you should know how to do but can't, either because you never knew you could do them, or you just can't figure out the syntax.

Luir's is basically Zalanthas' pc population on spring break.  Away from the parents, away from the boss, getting wild on with exotic people where you can push questionable morality as far as you must.  You can go to the casino, you can gamble, get high, you can do things with people from far away places, and dabble in crazy things.

Personally, I find it hard for me, as a player, to sustain my wanting that environment nonstop.  I literally can't have it as a base of operations too many characters in a row (usually 2), for that reason.

On one hand, you have the consent helpfile saying that you can't barter or request another type of punishment in a torture situation.

On the other hand, you have the same helpfile saying the staff will allow options to exit the scene.

I think Rath addressed what they mean by that. They're not talking about giving the character an option to exit the scene, but only the player.

They could do this through means like staff puppeting the character until the scene is over and the character can be stored. The consent rules aren't there to prevent the character from going through something the player doesn't want them to go through. It's just to prevent the player from having to witness it/play through it, as Rath said.

Sucks. I was kinda digging the idea of being able to bike casually without taxis trying to run me over, but I wouldn't do great on hilly areas.

On another note, snagged a book I've been eyeballing for a while at a bargain. It's out of print and hard to find nowadays. The seller threw in a couple related books for free, which is cool. I'm excited to get them in the mail!

If someone kills a player for not consenting to torture, I think that's grounds for a player complaint.
