Quote from: Windstorm on April 17, 2024, 12:44:22 AMReplacing Karma with Simplicity:
I would delete karma, replacing it with an on/off switch (every player is either a "trusted/experienced player" or not), change special apps into a process called "Rare Roles", and then simplify the process.
Quote from: mansa on April 16, 2024, 07:03:04 PMPersonally,Oh man assassins, nobles, and other roles with huge posse would become SO assassinateable. I LOVE THIS
When I'm walking around with a few other players, leading them, I tend to emote "emote heads in this direction", "emote turns west, and heads along the road in that direction."
When I'm leading players, I slow down how often I move from room to room. When I'm solo, I spamwalk :|
Perhaps it could be changed so that the sheer number of people following you should increase the "before" delay in movement, and echo only from the leader PC.
example:
I currently have 4 other players following me, including a NPC guard.
>north
You start to head north.
(3 second delay)
You move north.
This would only come into affect when moving in groups of 5+ followers.
Quote from: Lizzie on April 16, 2024, 10:15:37 PMSo Mansa if I'm leading a unit of 4 other people, and a mekillot comes charging in, you think it'd be a good idea to see:
The leader shouts "We're outta here!"
You start moving north.
(3 seconds later)
A mekillot kills you before you ever actually get to the next room.
QuoteYou're also referring to a world/time where people had first 12 special apps a year (no more than one a month!) then around 2010, 3 special apps a year, now 2 special apps a year. So you're conflating this with when people had literally 600% of the special apps per year compared to now, so even with the same player numbers and people special app'ing 'literally as fast as humanly possible', you will see a 500% DECREASE of special apps sheerly by the numbers of what players are allowed annually. It is not fear to special app, it is availability of the option, which has curtailed those numbers.
QuoteThere's description here of the special application process, but at some point players became very averse to the idea of special applications outside of rolecalls. Please keep in mind that these are not bad things. If you'd like to play something else, don't assume that you just all out can't because of karma. Use special applications, they're exactly what you're describing here where you just ask a 'DM' to play something.
