It's a desert, deserts are barren, that's the point.

Yes you can "spruce up" a desert a bit, and I'm not saying we shouldn't, but the original authors of those areas fully intended for it to be barren to represent a desert wasteland.

Quote from: eska on Today at 09:50:45 AMActually this OOC consent is meant to be asked when you want to RP the mutilation or torture scene. This is only meant to play the scene in case the other party agrees to it. Their disagreement doesn't change the outcome of the scene. They will be tortured, scarred or mutilated even if they don't give OOC consent.

That's true, you wouldn't really rp out mutilation from a fight anyway, so I can see where people are coming from. I'm convinced, I don't think you'd use ooc in this situation.

Quote from: Kavrick on Today at 09:26:01 AMAfter reading other people's replies to this, I feel like my original interpretation might have been off. I was reading this as a similar practice to what's put in the consent rules about mutiliation: https://www.armageddon.org/help/view/Consent, I thought the concept was to make sure the other person is ok with potential mutilation from losing the duel. Otherwise I agree that actually organizing the duel should be done ICly, not with the OOC command.

Actually this OOC consent is meant to be asked when you want to RP the mutilation or torture scene. This is only meant to play the scene in case the other party agrees to it.

Exactly as above would be immersion breaking for me, and ooc. OOC agreements do not align with IC deception.

I really only like OOC used for syntax, or clarifications as needed.

ICly say you want to hurt them but not kill them, OOC say mercy on please, if it fits your character actions. My character is appearing to have mercy on, etc

And remember, you can still accidentally kill someone even with mercy on.

Quote from: Dresan on Today at 09:12:00 AMThe area between luirs and allanak is huge and always felt needlessly barren. This might be my own perception but the pah itself always seemed to have ic constraints on going there as well, where if you went there you almost felt like an ooc twink.

I personally think that the Vrun and the Red Desert seem particularly undeveloped when compared to places like Gol Krathu, The Grey Forest, The Tablelands and The Grasslands. This is a problem that's compounded by the Vrun being absolutely MASSIVE, without exaggeration it's something silly like 600+ rooms, and when that's 600+ rooms of mostly nothing, it feels extremely barren. Hopefully with the next season being focused on the south, that'll be seen to?

Armageddon - The Highlord's Shadow
Armageddon - Loyalty, Corruption, Betrayal
Armageddon - Empire of Shadows
Armageddon - Forged in Darkness

I am glad this happened.

A bit sad about sun runners, I hope the waterless lands just means redstorm east or something. As for the sun spire...while this game is inspired heavily by dark sun i hope it continues to take steps to remove certain dark sun specific elements as it becomes its own unique thing. Some the sunspire reminds me a bit of the pristine tower from dark sun where the sun wizard was born within the campaign.

Overall a good story, but just a small note that without the darksun and armageddon background some of the words and terms would go right over my head. I feel like some addition links to lore and terms definitions may be needed for a random bloke to fully grasp the story. Great the less for those invested in the game.

This sort of ooc stuff is more common in a Mush. And over the years people habe kept to add these sort of elements to this game.

However, this isn't a Mush, its a Mud. Specifically a game where your polital, financial or coded power determine the outcome of conflicts or disagreements.
