Red Storm

Started by FantasyWriter, September 11, 2008, 02:12:11 PM

There have been many, many instances where people have talked about how
wonderful Red Storm is, except for the fact that there are seldom any PC's
there to interact with. 

Anyone who's not apping a Tuluki Noble come join me and let's make it a
jammin' place.

No PMs or IMs required, just make a PC of your liking, or bring your current
down, if they have a good reason!

Met you in the Eye of the Storm!

I think it was last weekend, during peak times...

That there were eight PC's around the tavern in RSV, the majority of them stationed around that area and not just traveling through.

I haven't logged in in a few days since I just bought a Wii, but I think RSV is really bumpin'.

Not that I'm suggesting you shouldn't make here... RSV is a great place and could always use moar.  :)

MOAR!
Tryin' to make friends but people are jerks,
So I'm gonna put some fleas on you.
And the fleas'll have the plague,
And they'll make you cough a lot,
Then you'll be too sick to hurt my feelings anymore.


Come play with me in Red Storm.

If you dare.
And I vanish into the dark
And rise above my station

I heard Red Storm East is hoppin'.

One time, in Red Storm...


I hear that interracial sex is not frowned upon in Red Storm.
"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

Don't come to Red Storm! That's where I make all my sekret magickers, and I don't want you guys to catch me spam-casting!

Mine was with all my armor on... Byn style. It's gotta be like that in Red Storm though... or else it would be like sandblasting your junk. :P

I saw a mul doing very nasty things once with a fleshlight AND a glow crystal...
He had a facewrap on AND his hood up.  Not a pretty sight.
But it DID add to the flavor of Red Storm, though.

Fluctuating. I was there recently and I saw four PCs, but they seemed temporary.

I love Red Storm. I've had some great, great RP there and there always seems to be some players doing something interesting there. Also, there's a lot of newbies there, someone should say 'hi' to them. I plan to make my first half-elf there some day.

Clans can give stat bonuses and penalties, too. The Byn drop in wisdom is particularly notorious.

there seem to be a handful of storm exclusive characters that camp the Eye, but with different playtimes. some one is also constantly killing the scrab in the area, so much that i'll go to storm, see 1 bunch of organs on the way. stay a few IC  hours, come out, and find TWO bunches of organs. My character also visits with some frequency, moreso than any other single city.

So, in summary, STORM IS WILDLY BUSY.

Seriously though: since the changes in the weather code, RS is actually -much- more playable.

Of course, the DOOM beetles will still wtfpwn your noob ass.

Haha, this one had me laughing for awhile. I eh, I think my next character will be a stormer, actually. Normally like the roleplay.

Thought we was callin' them ones DROV beetles.

An' yeh, I heard tell of folk about, betimes.

An' yeh, good luck playin' somethin' ain't a ranger in th' siltlands.

Drov beetles - loosely related to the demon vestric, yes?

This is glorious. I officially bump this topic for Silt pirate win. Red Storm is an awesome zone that needs some mo' PC love, so come get in on the fun.


Can I just say..

YAHAARRRRRR!
Free your hate.

It's somewhat bumpin' gain, it seems.

There any coded clans based in RSV?

I know Kurac and Salarr both have clan-only areas down there.

I seem to recall there being a PC in the Red Storm militia quite a long time ago...but that might've just been a special app. idea I never sent in.  Whatever the case, I'm sure the Red Storm militia is a hard-coded clan, since the code sort of requires it (I guess) for the NPCs to act in concert.

I've played in the Red Storm division of Kurac before and it was pretty fun.

If you wanted to get in on that, I imagine it would be possible. Not sure about the other Houses.

I wonder how high a percentage of new Stormers die before they get 10 rooms past the gate.
I tripped and Fale down my stairs. Drink milk and you'll grow Uaptal. I know this guy from the state of Tenneshi. This house will go up Borsail tomorrow. I gave my book to him Nenyuk it back again. I hired this guy golfing to Kadius around for a while.

Oh, come. If they were real Stormers, they'd never want to leave.

There is a certain group starting up around Red Storm. You know who you are. Anyways I am going to hijack this thread to post my playtimes and to post RPTs that are held around red storm.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,

Necro a thread... like a mutha-lovin' boss.

QuoteThe world of Armageddon is known as Zalanthas. It is a harsh planet where only the fittest survive, and competition over extremely scarce resources causes constant strife, struggle, and bloodshed. Deserts cover most of its explored surface, and the great red sun can bring temperatures as high as 150 degrees during mid-day and as low as 60 degrees at night. Your character will face hardship often, and will probably even be killed, possibly at the hands of another player. If your character dies, he or she is dead -- permanently. However, you can always make another; just keep in mind that your new character will have no knowledge of your previous life.

If you haven't played a PC in Red Storm, you haven't done it right yet.

I would like to see more characters in Storm, It's a rather good place.. to spice!

you say in sirihish, puzzledly
"then which one are you?"

Excuses people use not to play in Red Storm:

Can't go outside unless you're a ranger.     (they fixed this a month ago and gave desert nav to about a third of the subguilds)
No active clans.                                       (currently false - find out IC)
Not enough PCs.                                      (currently false, but fix the problem by making one)
Can't survive on sifting spice.                    (currently false - find out IC)


I have ALWAYs loved Red Storm (see all my above posts for proof), but now is probably the most active I have seen it, both in villagers and people passing through, and I don't even play that much. :D

I'm sad I missed it. I tried playing there earlier this year. I guess I was premature.
But if I die, I guess I have an idea.
