Random Tiny CODE Wants

HELL no don't make psionicists immune to this. I think your idea has merit.

RTW: It's been said before but...track ability. Make it passive.

I dunno, I wouldn't like to make them any less dangerous. I would like I stop psi squealing though.

Some kind of psi kryptonite that can be placed in rooms, nullifying people's use of contact in the area. Maybe make it a massive piece of magnetic rock that's pretty tricky to move around, but can be placed in single rooms for interrogation and such. Could well make psions immune, or course.

Dude, psi kryptonite already exists.  Find out IC, I guess...although, really, it should be common knowledge.

You can also just make your detainee contact you and let him know in no uncertain terms that if you feel the contact drop, he's dead meat.

It's not common knowledge, and it's not in the documentation, therefore it should not be common knowledge. Let's keep it that way. Let's not ruin it for anyone. Thanks.

If you're looking for psi kryptonite, it's called alcohol.

Yeah, I know about that. First time I saw someone tell someone to contact them and stay in their mind I shuddered a little. It's such a crappy workaround.

edit: All my point of view. I dislike it because I'm one of those people who doesn't like everyone having contact, though at the same time see it as an invaluable tool for playability.

The ability to tell what type (slashing, stabbing, etc.) a weapon is, regardless of guild.

I may be missing something, but I don't see why this has to be restricted to guilds having the skill -- especially when in the mdesc of many items it's explained what type of weapon it is... Just not all of them.

Quote from: TwilightOr, more interestingly to me at least, if you consider that it is probably the way the elven mind works that gives rise tribes in the first place (since each and every single one should have a tribe), and I would propose to the purpose of creating an identifying, specifically elven culture (which I would argue elves need), and every culture has this aspect to it, there is something there, beyond culture, probably at the same level as the drive to belong to tribes, that elves -literally can't- get past in their minds in order to ride.  And staff says this extends to wagons and skimmers as well.  Okay.

I want another city-elf tribe, not just one in Tuluk.

There are two coded city-elf tribes, one in Tuluk and one in Allanak. May I introduce you to the Jaxa Pah?

No, one in Tuluk and one in the Rinth.

Rinth has own culture, accent, start locs, being in allanak does not make it allanak. If that was the case you would not be known as a rinther, you would just be allanak scum. Oh, and rinthers are not allanak citizens.

So, allanak does not have a coded celf tribe.

Very technically, Rinthers are Allanaki Citizens.

Just like Compton, California, is refered to as part of L.A., since it is in Los Angeles County.

Don't mistake the coded aspects that differentiate the Allanakis from the Rinthis for other things.

I wish accounts had 'profiles' that could be accessed from in-game, by targeting a PC.  Each profile would have a few standard settings that the player could fill out, as desired.

I'm sorry, that character isn't here.

Player location: down under


Even if you ignore the coded aspects, which is IMO silly, rinthis are not treated the same, they do not treat nakkis the same, the non-coded aspects making them other then nak are actually greater then the coded.

They are still considered Allanaki citizens, just ones that are not respected and not trusted because they come from an unlawful portion of the city.  Their 'hunting grounds' if (to speak metaphorically) includes the same range that any 'Nakki would.  They are inside Allanak.

Hey guys? This debate is not very important, completely off-topic for this thread, and also pretty much comes down to a matter of opinion on either side. If you want to debate it, please open a different thread for that. Thanks.

Thread started, since it's so goddamn important.

My random tiny want is that people would spend less time arguing over minutia.  Can we code that?
Yes. Read the thread if you want, or skip to page 7 and be dismissive.

My random want?

Make the "up" and "down" directions entirely unaffected by darkness or storm code....

I simply -cannot- reasonably justify going north when I'm trying to climb a cliff face.

::Edited to add::

Also, I wish all characters had a low-capped climb skill, at the very least....

Everyone can climb a little!

I condone this.

Everyone does have a small chance to succeed at climbing, even without the skill.  It seems to be about a 10% chance for success for ordinary-difficulty climbs.  You can even get an inix to climb up the shield wall, if you're patient enough.
