What would you like to see next?

[Nyr]

OK, so we've had a couple of submissions that have been staff selected.  What would you like to see next in terms of an original submission discussion?  A certain theme (a focus on murder, or political intrigue, or on songs, or what-not)?  A certain submission that you've wanted to highlight?  This is the place for bringing that up.

[Ourla]

Bards Done Well / elven trickery.

[Scarecrow]

I'd suggest the one where the Bynner biblically knows a ginka or belshun or whatnot, but that would be innapropriate.

I would like to see the one with Onyxi and Dregg checking out an apartment being examined.

[RogueGunslinger]

I'm confused. If the submission are good, why are we not putting them all up? Or is this just to inspire other people to post their logs to staff?

[Wish]

Anything with the Byn.

[Nyr]

I'm confused. If the submission are good, why are we not putting them all up? Or is this just to inspire other people to post their logs to staff?

This is something we've thought about for a while and we've had a lot of discussion about this staff-side recently.  One compromise we are willing to make is to have an area specifically for moderated discussion about original submissions. 

That subforum is available here.  In short, if you want to discuss stuff your character did, you should submit an original submission once that tool is up and running again...and in the meantime, you can work on your own original submissions for when the tool is ready to go.  As discussion continues on original submission work selected by staff, we'll see how everyone handles it and hopefully loosen up some of the restrictions there.

[Cutthroat]

The first two threads were logs set in Allanak, perhaps one set in Tuluk would be good.

[TheWanderer]

Anything with the Byn.

+1

A raging Byn-tastic adventure would be nice. They're always fun.

[slvrmoontiger]

The first two threads were logs set in Allanak, perhaps one set in Tuluk would be good.

Agreed, anything Tuluk would be good.
Anything NOT Byn would be good.

[Desertman]

+1 for Byn themed.

[Molten Heart]

A focus on magick and arcanery would be cool.

[BadSkeelz]

Tuluki Byn.

[BleakOne]

I like "A Grey Forest Jaunt", nice and action packed, and includes some PCs from around when I started playing.

[FantasyWriter]

Anything PC Halfling or PC Gith related.
I've always like the one where Sharlo, Rhys, and Gage torture the whore in the apartment.

[Zerero]

This.

[manonfire]

I've always like the one where Sharlo, Rhys, and Gage torture the whore in the apartment.

This.

That log kinda cracks me up. That whole scene is a direct result of my character (who was referenced a time or two during the interrogation) engineering the death of Seli for doing some irresponsible shit.

Of all the assassinations I've orchestrated in all my years of playing, that one is by far the most successful.

[palomar]

I always enjoyed the "half-giant assassin" log on the old old website. Not sure if it has aged well, but at least I remember liking it a lot years ago.

[williamson]

Bards Done Well / elven trickery.

I'd also like to see some bardic action.

[Twilight]

Death of Ishahn

[Zoan]

Which one?

low blow

[Brytta Léofa]

I'd suggest the one where the Bynner biblically knows a ginka or belshun or whatnot, but that would be innapropriate.

(That wasn't a Bynner; that was Classic AoD.)

[Nyr]

Bards Done Well / elven trickery.

First come, first serve, then.  Which one, and which log do you think outlines one (or both) of these?  I'll go pop in a new thread and link it all up.

[Zerero]

Lets pretend the log with the soldier fucking the fruit has bards in it.

[QuillDipper]

Lets pretend the log with the soldier fucking the fruit has bards in it.

I second this motion. The art of fucking a fruit is a delicate one to master.

[thatkid]

This, please.

[hipspectz]

I would like to see the one with Onyxi and Dregg checking out an apartment being examined.

It has taken some delving work but I think I found one that fits BOTH of these categories.  We have a bard talking to a bard that is also an elf.

[RogueGunslinger]

Nyr you're like some sort of advanced AI with sophisticated indexing algorithms.

For the next log I would like to see.... Something involving the T'zai Byn. 

[Nyr]

The search function on original submissions is great.  I actually found it by accident looking through all bard submissions, but when looking later on I could've found it by searching 'bard' and 'elf'.

[boog]

I -like- that log.

(I read all of that specific person's logs and I'm a better RPer for it.)

[Zoan]

I pass that we call Nyr "Siri" from now on, because he's so good at finding random things for us.

[slvrmoontiger]

There used to be a submission of  a tribal couple giving their baby a bath. I found it delightfully humorous and a good look at tribal life... I wanted to show it to someone a month or two ago and I wasn't able to find it anymore. Anyone know the link for it?

[Barsook]

Too bad that there isn't anything from way back or about Quick the elf.

[manonfire]

I wished I'd saved the logs of my gemmer participating in Halaster's Echri Release Party.

I miiiight have some Plainsman logs. I'll have to dig around a little.

[ShaLeah]

I'd love to see the liberation of Tuluk. I heard that was an epic battle.

[Desertman]

I never logged a single thing from Markus, which is disappointing, I had a lot of really good "common" scenes with that character that I think would be interesting to read back over. There were a lot of good "Guild" scenes from him too that I think would have been interesting. Damn me and my "never logging" when I need to.

[Barsook]

[Ghost]

nice thread and forum

hope to have the submissions available soon

Too bad that there isn't anything from way back or about Quick the elf.

check out "a bad day to be a foreigner in the rinth"

[Nyr]

Anything with the Byn.

I can technically upload something directly that is Byn related.  I say "technically" because it's a log from staff side and the staff part of submissions actually can work (player-side does not work yet, though Morg and I have discussed it recently).

I'll clean it up and see if it works as I think it will.

[RogueGunslinger]

If it's recent, then I may just shit myself with glee.

[bcw81]

If it's recent, then I may just shit myself with glee.

Plzyes

[Nyr]

It does not work as I think it will, but at least I got the log cleaned up!

[IntuitiveApathy]

[nauta]

Hi,

I'd like to see more instructions on how to RP a sneaky character, and in particular, what sorts of things people SEMOTE/HEMOTE/EMOTE when they are sneaking, hiding, shadowing, about to club someone over the head, failing to steal, stealing, etc.  I know there is the documentation on the main armageddon website (Thief's Bible), but that doesn't really cover RP but more NPC interaction and how not to be a douche.  Hence, a log that demonstrates this would be nice, or maybe just some discussion. 

In particular, I find HIDE hard to figure out how to RP.  I think I finally figured out how STEAL works, but I'd like to see how folks RP failed steal attempts.  The problem is that when people are hiding, I can't just "see" what they are emoting or how they are RPing IG, so it is something I haven't been able to figure out IG.   (I've always thought there should be a special room with a mirror [like locdesc] where you can practice out emotes on yourself just to see what the other person would have echo'd to them, so you can flesh out the RP accordingly, esp. when I was, and still am, trying to remember the difference between # and @ and all that jazz.)

* If someone notices you hiding, does that mean EVERYONE then will have noticed you?  Or do you just SEMOTE winks at ~tall.muscular, raises a finger to ^me lips, and remains trapped in the closet.

* I assume you can either be hiding in a closet or just "blending into the crowds" and so you should SEMOTE which of those you are you doing, e.g., SEMOTE slips through the crowds like a slippery slip or SEMOTE ducks into the closet and stands there like a dress.  But if I'm moving from room to room, should I continuously do an: SEMOTE walks west.  SEMOTE walks east.

* Should you SEMOTE every few hours, e.g., shifts from one foot to the other?

* And there's just a WHOLE bunch of questions about what breaks HIDE that I don't even want to go into, but I just wanted to say that "find out IG" is often a frustrating answer to these, since a lot are arbitrary, granted that hiding includes the concept of "blending into the crowds", and there is no good way to figure it out IG other than: Hey, Bub.  I'm gonna hide then SNEEZE.  Did you see me? In particular, there are things like: EMOTE, HEMOTE, WHISPER, RAISE HOOD, DRAW, SHEATH, SNEEZE, YAWN, SIT, STAND, ok ok you get the idea.  When one SHADOWs one is set to WALK... does that break HIDE?  Anyway, I figured out a lot of them IG after a long while, but I just thought I'd toss that out while I'm at it, that is, that it might be nice to document that aspect a little better somewhere.

Thanks for listening.   

tl;dr: It might be good to have more information on how to RP a sneak, and it is hard to find this out IG.  Obviously we'll have different opinions, but examples of SEMOTE would be really nice.

[Rahnevyn]

We could definitely try and find a "shady" log in original submissions. I think some of your questions might belong over in Roleplaying Discussion though, in terms of how to roleplay using certain skills yourself!

[QuillDipper]

I think that a shady log would be awesome from my end. My sneaky RP is heavily lacking and some examples would be slick

[nauta]

Ok, I duplicated most of this stuff in the RP thread here:
http://gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,47404.0.html

[Rahnevyn]

I know I said I'd look for a shady log next, but I couldn't find one with some quick browsing. Anyone have a suggestion?

[BadSkeelz]

I always liked the log where the half-giant sneaks in to the Templar Quarter, though that wasn't the most subtle of infiltration....

[QuillDipper]

Think "I'll eat the Templar!"


Top quality log

[Reiloth]

Maybe the assassination of Warlord Kharad (sp?) Tor? Or some other sort of ass ass.

[RogueGunslinger]

I agree with Assassinations.

I've never seen or heard of the details of this sort of thing.

[Reiloth]

How about that Byn urine arrow event Nyr?

[RogueGunslinger]

Spying logs?

There's one involving a blind girl that's good, If I remember correctly.

[Pale Horse]

Spying logs?

I remember that log.  Samos' girl, wasn't she?

[RogueGunslinger]

Yep, that's the one!

[BadSkeelz]

I'd love to see something to do with crime in Tuluk, and how criminals there survive. Preferably something that'd still work under the new system and Templar Order.

Particularly I'm talking about petty or mundane criminals, something we could all play.

[Nyr]

How about that Byn urine arrow event Nyr?

Since I'm posting logs here directly, I'll check over that one and see if I can get it up here.

[ShaLeah]

Fix the submissions!

[Reiloth]

Thanks for taking the time to go through that and post it. It was great to read.

[Marauder Moe]

I've been spoiled by the glut of logs released in the last month... and I'm itching for more!  I love logs.



I'd like to see a desert elf log.

While I feel I may have a decent grasp on elven culture, and a few insights into desert-elves specifically, I have no clue about what desert elf characters actually do with their lives or why I'd ever want to play one.

[Barsook]

Yes, that!  It might help some of us to understand D-elves more.

[nauta]

Yes, that!  It might help some of us to understand D-elves more.

Yes please!  More elves in general, but especially more "outside the city" logs, like tribals, Muarki, delves, etc.

[manonfire]

If anyone has logs of the crazy shit that happened during the Echri/Dragonthrall era a few years ago, post that shit up! I had this great log of my Vivaduan gemmer going on a Halaster RPT to this underground chamber where we actually released the dragon (also the same RPT where the legendary steel shield came from), but that's been several harddrives ago.

[Marauder Moe]

Heee!  I think I was there with you.

That said, I'm not sure that's the sort of thing that is ever OK to share in detail.

If the staff thinks otherwise though, and I'm thinking of the right event, I've got a log of it.

[manonfire]

plz moe

Yes, anything from this era would be nice, if it hasn't been retcon'd. I know a lot of stuff happened with this subject for delves too, maybe we can satisfy both of Moe's wants.

[Reiloth]

Perhaps...

Dun dun dunnnnn...

The destruction of the Red Fang from the Sun Runners point of view?

[HavokBlue]

here is a log from my last slk pc, pretty much just daily life

[Barsook]

I want to see something from the aftermath of the Copper and when the new Tuluk was being built with the way it's organized now.

[Marauder Moe]

My recollection is that the Copper War didn't have that much IC affect on Tuluk, other than a huge rise in the popularity of patriotic arts and music.  The Qynar system did come about not too long after the war, but I don't think it was because of it.

[Bushranger]

I would like to see more logs of Tektolnes kicking ass. The destruction of steinal is my favourite log and I strive to be as good a roleplayer as hilurd tektolnes!

The mighty Tektolnes vs Luir Dragonthrall
The mighty Tektolnes vs Thrain Ironsword
The mighty Tektolnes vs Papa Quintus

What do you say hilurd tektolnes, have any more awesome logs for us?

[Symphony]

Personally I would love to see more of this.


- Symph

[Nyr]

Going to go ahead and post a few more logs related to the HRPT/spies.

[Barsook]

Anything from some of the notable PC's like Quick, Radoon, ect.

[MeTekillot]

From what I understand, everything Quick ever did was find out IC.

[Harmless]

From what I understand, everything Quick ever did was find out IC.

[MeTekillot]

Yeah basically.

[Aruven]

I miss this.

[roobee]

Can we still discuss original submissions that are on the site but not posted in this forum yet, like on the world discussion forum?

[WanderingOoze]

What happened to these?

[Tuannon]

All I remember from the Copper War is someone drinking oil by accident and having a time in the cesspit and one of the Lirathan Templars (who I worked for) getting her breastplate inexplicably sundered by a falling rock and having her Templar niceties flopping about.

Also the aftermath bard cuddle pile that my dude didn't want any part of because of anxiety related to seeing Elkrosians do things and stuff.

I remember Kharad Paravin Tor's assassination was a bit bullshit, but I wasn't there for it. Not much a PC of my standing could do to prevent that particular event.

[Barsook]

Sorry for the rez, but is it possible to see what sorts of virtual tribes that players made and how much detail they gone into?
