HRPT

[Tamarin]

What is this Sunday school business?  Do you mean Detal school?  I sure hope you're learning about Nessalin...not some some crazy deist christian being...

[flurry]

I'll preface this by saying I have no clue what's happening...but Venomz, if you do, and have a really bad pokerface, please stop.

Duuuude, I'm just playing!

Gods!

Sorry  :oops:  I guess I'm being a little sensitive because I want to be surprised.

Ugh! 2pm est? On Sunday?!  :x  That would be 11am for the west coasters. On Sunday!! I'm at church.

say (muttering bitterly) Bunch of heathens and their Satanic, pagan mud HRPTs...
emote bursts into tears, all the while turning green with envy.

:cry:

Considering how long these things have run in the past, I think that's just about right.

IIRC the Tuluk thing started at 4pm EST after an abbreviated immday and lasted well into the next morning.

[Whispering Shadow]

At least that's what we Tuluki want you to think.
Muahahaaahaaa! :twisted:
The ground trembling and shaking, most of Allanak returns to the sands, leaving only the part known as the 'rinth on top for all to see.

There, there.  Just log in right when you get home and you'll still have a good six hours (at least) of HRPT excitement.

[Dan]

I am very excited about what might happen with this HRPT. Very excited.


Not in a sexual way.

[sarahjc]

I wish my Character wasn’t such a weakling.. I want burn and pillage Allanak too..

Which is of course what is going to happen..

[Dakkon Black]

I just hope some people randomly explode. That'd be so fun

[Armaddict]

I nominate your character for first and only explosion.  The rest of us just go deaf and our clothing becomes uncleanable.

[FiveDisgruntledMonkeysWit]

With all this talk of invasions, I bet you're all wishing you'd paid more attention to my idea... *shameless self-promotion*

Anyways, if Allanak falls, I'd be heartbroken, and would henceforth make all my characters dwarves with the focus of murdering Muk Utep in the most painful way conceivable.

Of course, if Allanak were to fall, it would have some good along with it. Maybe those Northern barbarians would burn that damn evil defiler tree along with the city, and rid us off it's dark, soul-sucking presence.

[Kankman]

Speaking as a player that had a character die in the last HRPT, all I can say is, holy fuck, I hope I can book that day off work.

[sarahjc]

I wonder if the staff bulks itself up for the day after application process, You know, like department stores the day after christmas?

Might be a good time to try and sneak in that Robot App I heard about once..

[Sandlord]

Now Im no gambling man, but if i had to bet on what this event is going to be , id put my money on a army of steel-blade wieldling zombies rising from the ruins of Steinal and ravaging both Tuluk and Nak.
I cant wait to join the hordes

[Dan]

Is this topic screwing up for anyone else technically? The posts dont show up, but it shows new posts have been posted...

[Stroker]

Whatever will happen, I doubt it will be an invasion from the north or from the south.

[drunkendwarf]

It's an army of blowgun toting, tree-hugging halflings! No one's going to die..but from the knees down, we'll all be a bloody mess...unless you're a dwarf..then it's probably the waist down. Tuluk is going to get filthy rich selling crutches. Run for the hills...their stubby legs can't climb up them!

[Ueda]

Alot of people have said its going to be an attack on the south from the north I just don't see that happening. I think Tek' is too powerful for Muk but I could see some other Magiker doing it? :wink:

[Echo]

I'm all for glorious conflict.. A strong Tuluk and a strong Allanak offers the world beautiful bookends of drama. So whatever happens, I hope it only serves to further the conflict.

Having said that... For the love of the GITH MESA please... please... PLEASE do something that shortens the roads in Tuluk. You want to express length and grandness? Fine, make people take a stamina loss while walking through THREE rooms.. Not make someone walk 10 rooms of absolutely identical description only to hit a bend that forces them another 10 rooms and then another.  

Seriously, Tuluk is cool... The tribal bazaar... Freil's.. The Sanct... All cool.. Even that little garden area north of Freil's.. and the bard area... but... I beg you... CONSOLIDATE.  

So, wherever Naephet's bomb is going to be dropped I beseech you to have some shrapnel hit the roads in Tuluk.

:shock:

[Sandlord]

I agree, some parts of tuluk are just so huge. The western part is okay but the eastern part is so  vast. the worst is when your  a thief or criminal and you get caught and arrested outside the sanct or the western scaien wall and the guard drags you to the prison that takes like 15 minutes to get to.

Also even though I realy want this event to be a massive war with hundreds of casulties, something deep inside me says it involves another arrival of The Dragon. Did this thought cross anyone elses mind?

[Teleri]

I actually like the vast qualities of Tuluk, for it gives the city an entirely different atmosphere from any of the others.  Allanak has a lot of side streets and alleys, as well as plenty of crowded main roads, creating a sense of being penned in and repressed overtly.  Luir's Outpost is just very small, as it should be, giving it much the same feel only a little bit more mysterious.  Tuluk, on the other hand, has a very unique, roomy feel to it that I like.  The length and breadth of a lot of the roads leads one into a false sense of freedom of motion, before one realizes that there are plenty of high walls dividing different sections of the city, and the Scaien Wall subtly encloses everyone deep within the city.  So, I like it how it is.

As for the HRPT in about a week, the thought of another arrival of The Dragon had crossed my mind, but I think it's unlikely because every other hyped-up RPT I've been to had nothing to do with The Dragon.  Of course, I didn't go to the last HRPT (don't want to know what happened, either), so I don't know.  Dragon or no, though, I'm going to be doing exactly what I've been doing for the others, and that's defending.  Defending...the few feet of space beneath a table...shivering uncontrollably from the booze and spice in my character's system.  And by booze and spice, yes, I do mean fear and cowardice.

[sacac]

I'm gonna see how much armor I can steal off all your dead bodies.. and smuggle tons of 'Shiny sand' into storage into the city and then get killed leaving me stash to a lanky youngster and his gang.

[Koala]

Nakki citizens, be prepared...

Tuluk will hit from inside, they are already within the walls  

(what a conspiracy  :wink: )

[gfair]

In light of the huge nature of this RPT on Sunday, can I kindly request a command to quickly change allegiance?

A suggestion for 5DMW - bodies could serve as blocade material, and they very well may...   :shock:


Off-topic:  Did anyone catch the England vs Samoa Rugby game?  Absolutely brilliant Samoan effort, definitely worth staying up late for.

[RaynerApe]

A newbie here - what's HRPT?
A private message would be helpful, in order not to spam the board.

[DrunkenSalarr]

I'll just be leaving for work when the HRPT is scheduled to start.  Starting work about the time it actually starts.  And by the time I get home and can log in, it will either be over, or I'll have no clue what's going on.
