It would be so cool if you could subdue a person, or have another person subdue them, and then forcibly apply a tattoo.

Although I bet that would lead to fresh tattoo artists that no one wants to risk their literal hides on twinking up their novice tattooing skill in the 'rinth.

Realistically, nothing is stopping you from doing this! You just need some RP, a little staff notification, and a victim whose player is engaged.

I lost karma for training my tattooing skill while sparring.  I don't want to say I disagree with staff's decision. I  understand where they're coming from. At the same time, is the code that realistic?  I can only tattoo unconscious or subdued people against their will?  How else am I supposed to train my skill - not everyone wants to be tattooed by the PC tattoo artist, especially when they're just starting out.  Sometimes they want to use NPCs.  Sometimes there's another tattoo artist PC in the city who is awesome at emoting and gets more business - and then I'm faced with a choice.  Tattoo my unconscious sparring partners (bludgeon weapons ftw), or never raise my skill. Kind of like the problem male whores have now that Nathvaan has implemented the mudsex skill. 

It was in character.  I don't want to give away too much IC information, but my character was a psychopathic dwarf.  He WANTED to tattoo his sparring partners, his focus was to tattoo everyone in the entire world.  So what if he tattooed them more than once? I feel like my voice isn't being heard.  But at the same time I respect staff's decision.

[Patuk]

The subdue skill could use some improving no matter how you look at it. A way to tie people up and the ability to place a knife to the throat of the helpless so interrogation can be possible would be sublime.

[Beethoven]

As far as tattooing people non-codedly, it would help if the necessary equipment was available IG. As far as I know, it isn't, but then again, I don't know very far.

[valeria]

Tattooing people non-codedly and... equipment?  Ever see a person with a prison tattoo?  There's knives and ink available in both city states.  Go to town.  Will the results look pretty?  Again... ever see a person with a prison tattoo?

[Beethoven]

True. I still think it would be nice if there was stuff that was actually designed for tattooing, even if it never gets coded, which it probably won't.

The heavily inked, brutish man says, out-of-character, "Remember to turn nosave tattoo off!"

[James de Monet]

I could be crazy, but I feel like I have seen tattoo tools IG before.

Also, I got the best lol out of this.

I've seen tattoo tools, but they were very specific tools of very specific PCs who can add coded tattoos to other PCs, rather than something for general consumption.  Unless you're thinking of something else, in which case I may be crazy.

- more tamable mounts, and "pets" that would have to be stabled, like gortok or jackals or quirk etc

Half-elf should need to be rented in stables instead of allowed to quit out in taverns.

It would be good to have some sort of storage locker arrangement for folks that have to take breaks from Arm longer than the period for which you can rent an apartment. There are probably not many of us, but it would be nice.

I don't know though. There may be some kind of code issue that prevents the creation of a locker system.

Doesn't Nenyuk do this?

[Norcal]

I think that is more for just a couple items. I was thinking like a chest full of items. But really, I'll have to look IC.

[BadSkeelz]

People accumulate too much crap as it is.

[Voular]

Just put all your valuables in a bag and log off. I know it's sort of meta and whatnot. But if you know you're going away for like a RL year or something and don't wanna store and don't wanna lose your silk pantaloons.. Then that's a way to do it?

[RogueGunslinger]

With how often my PC's die I just really can't care about "storage". I don't even use the bank.

#hardcoremode

If only you could stash your money in your apartment.

It seems like you could just rename bury command 'stash' for indoor rooms.

[Reiloth]

Yeah, it'd be cool if it fed off the 'hide' skill, or some variation of it and palm.

Counter skill would be 'search' (which is under-utilized as it is).

I think I mentioned this somewhere on the GDB, maybe in conjunction with the return of 'trap'. Aha, found it.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but I always thought it would be cool if random NPC gladiators were loaded into the arena for occasional entertainment.

Yeh. This should happen every couple of IC days, along with a plethora of varied messages and stuff. The script could take into account whether there was a PC in of x ranking in x clan in x room, likely the noble stands AND the room you summon the NPCs from, and kill itself, to help keep PC run arena events running smoothly.

This would be pretty great actually. Load two aggro mobs, have them go at each other. Have them (or the room) fire off a few emotes/echoes... I'd watch.

It'd be like the Southern equivalent to the "Tonight's Show is about to start in the Entertainment Hall" ala the Sanctuary.

[Saellyn]

Yeah only way cooler because death is happening.
