They should be. This is a bug we are trying to pin down as to why they are currently not working as intended.

You were correct.  I had forgotten about the infobar command.  Problem solved. Thanks.

Looks like you turned on your infobar. I beleive you can just toggle it off, or type help infobar to read up on it.

I have my regular prompt using w%/W%, etc, etc. and it works fine.  Recently a second prompt has appeared on the bottom of the page.  Can someone please tell me how to rid my myself of the second prompt? Is it the game produced prompt?  I use CMUD.

      Health:  100(100)        Mana: 100(100)        Stamina: 100(100)      Stun: 100(100)      Focus: 100(100) 

Real stats were hidden to protect the innocent.

So, I believe Sim Raiders (human and gith) should be able to be shot and or thrown at, they are just like any creature in game, why are they special vs anything else? Plus they can shoot you.. so why not level the playing field.

By not being able to shoot them back, players might feel frustrated or disadvantaged, which can diminish their enjoyment of the game. Allowing all players to have access to similar ranged options can create a more level playing field, fostering a fairer competitive environment where skill and strategy take precedence over inherent character advantages. This could lead to a more engaging and satisfying experience for all players involved. Just my opinion.

The taverns are buzzing with fresh rumors, blood's been spilled in the streets and happenings at the King's Age Festival has the city on edge. Opportunities are out there for those brave, the bold or the foolish enough to take them. But keep your ears sharp (not that sharp) and your back covered. It only takes one wrong move.

Turmoil and Transformation
The Magefall movement has entered a new phase of turmoil following the massacre of Syrah's followers outside the T'zai Byn Compound, forcing the once-public group underground. Rolana's whereabouts are unknown, with rumors suggesting she's in exile for cowardice. Clandestine meetings now take place in hidden dens, as whispers of a new leader, known only as Commoner, spread. His influence grows among those opposing the Gemmed's elevated status. Prominent figures from the T'zai Byn and possibly even the Arm of the Dragon and Nobility are rumored to be involved, advocating for the return of Allanak's traditional social order, with the Gemmed tightly controlled by the Templarate.

Show Your Allegiance

For those wishing to display their stance on this divisive issue, two new tattoo artists have set up shop in the city:

Lyvix: Located near Stonecarver's Road, Lyvix offers designs for supporters of the Magefall movement. Lyra: Found close to the Shady Oasis Tavern, Lyra specializes in tattoos for those who stand with the Gemmed.

As tensions simmer and alliances shift, the future of Allanak hangs in the balance. Which side will you choose?

A Gladiator Freed
Nikki the Highlady of Hate and Menosax the Farmer met each other on the sands in the thrilling conclusion of the tournament where one slave would be elevated to commoner status and granted a boon by the Great Lady Sath. Ten gladiators had been hand picked for the tournament, with eight were now dead, and the bloodsport fans divided into two factions. Nikki represented Allanaki irreverence, taunting opponents and crowd members alike. Menosax was a man where you got what you saw - a simple man with a straightforward respect for his betters.

When they clashed, Menosax bore the armor of Borsail in stark comparison to Nikki who continued to defy decency and death by wearing as little as possible. It became evident that the Highlady held a speed advantage and pressured Menosax into positional mistakes as she ducked under the powerful swings from the farmhand. The Highlord must have blessed Nikki - for she cut down Menosax in quick form with only minor injury - and claimed her victory.

The Gaj Who Got Away

Much to the frustration of His Templarate: the words of Great Lady Adaren Sath have been disproven, as rumors of the gaj she claimed to have smote in the Arena continue to circulate. The hushed whispers of speculation in taverns have caused a panic as it has become increasingly clear something unnatural is amiss - and no one is safe. Long-time respected merchants, soldiers, mercenaries, and everyone in between are vanishing by the dozens, only to reappear weeks later as shadows of their former selves. Grieving families overcome with joy to rediscover their loved ones are crushed that they no longer seem to be whole. Crazed and often detached victims of psionic attack are routinely being tackled and dragged away by the militia, never to be seen again. Nightly festivities at taverns are being disturbed by those shouting about 'She Who Consumes', that the Templarate is nothing but defiler tyrants, and the proclaiming a new hierarchy in Allanak.

Many fear they will be next, with no end to the chaos in sight. She escaped the wrath of a Great Lady - who can possibly stop the gaj?


Tavern Under New Management

The Shady Oasis is once again under new management, this time by Dzeda, a highly charismatic tribal trader and storyteller. Rumors suggest a Magefaller curse could be to blame for the constant turnover. In a bold move, Dzeda has halved food and beverage prices, sparking a rush of patrons. It's unclear if this is a temporary promotion or a long-term strategy. Additionally, the tavern is now buying raw ingredients, making it an attractive destination for hunters and grebbers looking to sell their raw foods to Oblitha.

Quote from: Big Red on October 14, 2024, 06:47:30 PMAgree that this ought to be done away with. It's more immersion-breaking than immersion-making in my experience (shops closing on you while you're RPing extended shopping scenes etc.)

Right. And it's not like they leave to go home while it's 'closed' or even keep you from getting in. And that leaves aside the npcs that are improperly displaying as tending their closed stores when the stores are not closed. Like it's hurting immersion more than it's helping. Angus refusing to sell you meat while refusing to leave behind the counter of the butcher shop doesn't make the butcher shop feel more real, it makes it feel nonsensical. I would contend that it's less unrealistic for them to be open all the time than it is for them to say they're closed and refuse business while staying inside the still accessible business /the entire time/.
