The main time when I think Kurac might want to rent lockers out in Luirs is during their events like Luirsfest.  I've certainly wished for somewhere to stick my armor while wearing my party duds.  It's certainly an opportunity for them to make some extra coin.





That I can get behind.

Store your shit in your damn apartments or join a clan and store it there. This isn't supposed to be Accomodageddon, this is Armageddon. And in Armageddon, you don't get tons of places to store your lockers.

You know what'll happen if they add five lockers to Luirs? Players will probably bitch and moan that there aren't enough lockers. Nobody will be happy.

I could give a shit about wholesome.

Kurac should have lockers that the agents can give people access to for a price but only allow people who are USEFUL to Kurac to use them. Informants, spys etc, Or if you buy citizenship from that one guy then you should be able to buy a locker *cough*.

That one guy who sells citizenship in Luir's Outpost no longer sells citizenship in Luir's Outpost.

My point was that during these events people come to Luirs that need their armor there, and that might need to strip for a turn in the ginka pit or want to wear clothing instead of armor for some of the celebrations.  I've always maintained apartments and/or been in clans. 

You know, whenever I read rude replies on the GDB I quit voting for a few days until I feel better about the game and its players again.


Vote anyway. For me.
And I like the idea of this not as a fixture, but as a service. For Luirs Fest.

I'd rather see a guy in front of a row of ... let's do it in game terms.

A Brick Lean-To [N]
This hovel is constructed of dun-colored, black-mortared bricks. The northern side of
the structure is open to the yard. Against the other three walls are massive shelves,
floor to ceiling, and these are crowded with literally thousands of small chests, each
uniquely marked with a picture or symbol.
The monstrous half-giant looms here, scowling at everyone.
The boulder-shouldered dwarf guards the place, eyes keen.
The lanky, war-braided elf stands here, swords to hand.
The fat quartermaster sits at a desk, eying the line before it.

>list
The fat quartermaster says to you, in sirihish:
  "You can -BUY- one of my chests, and stow a few things in it."

>buy
The fat quartermaster sells you a small, stone chest.

>put leaf chest
You put a pink leaf in a small, stone chest.

>rent chest
The fat quartermaster takes your small, stone chest and gives you a granite tag.
The fat quartermaster says to you, in sirihish:
  "Bring me this tag and forty obsidian coins to retrieve your chest."


I sure wish banking worked this way. (That's right Nyr, I slipped it in! BWHAHAHAHAHAH)

Seriously though, I like it. It is exactly my idea for the banking code, more or less, but for items instead of coins, though I guess you COULD put coins in your chest.

FTFY.

Also, don't worry about evilcabbage... I mean, he admits to being a cabbage. I dunno about you, but the last time I got pissed at my cabbage was around age 5 or so.  :P

Having run a few characters who ran with a character of Refugee's, I have to say I respect his opinion and love what he brings to the game.. I've been meaning to write up kudos for some time, just haven't gotten around to it.

Rude replies are kind of annoying, but, that's life. Sometimes, might just not be reading the text properly, or that's what I tell myself.

No, he just dug his heels in the way people do on the GDB without fully reading or thinking through the arguments.  You'll never get through to him, and he'll post as often as he can to disagree.  It's just the way the GDB works, sadly.

To be constructive, I really like the lockers idea.  There's no logical reason that Nenyuk or Kurac can't do that, even if it was limited to a few lockers for useful non-Kuraci employees dished out by the Agent.

I used to be in a clan with that guy, all the life got sucked out of it when he left, Refugee is a fucking badass, is what I'm saying. I'm still having fun, but I'm missing him all the same.

One day, *title not included because I don't want to be a shitwad*, one day... Just, um, not right now, it seems. Wow! IC only info is fun!

I quoted the wrong one.  I was referring to cabbage.

If you're in Luirs, why are you even an Independent? Join Kurac, it's literally the only reason to be there, forever.

(Unsure if joke was already made; didn't read boring thread on account of not enough jokes on page 1).

I think Refugee has a good point with the storage during events. You may need multiple changes of clothes if you are participating in several events (eg - pitfighting, drinking contest, ginka wrestling, boxing), and it is jarring and annoying to have to change clothes 'under your cloak' and get your friend to hold the bag.

It would be great if Kurac rented out rooms in the tavern for short terms (maybe 4 IG weeks)  so that you could privately change your clothes and store your weapons when you're not fighting. Also to mudsex and murder peope, too, of course.

Being able to mudsex inside a locker would be grand indeed.
"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

(with a nod) Please, enter this locker... Actually, Luirs has two rooms where you can do dirty shit, more if your "friend" has some kind of wagon... And the Fist isn't supposed to be particularly interested in what assholes are getting paid, otherwise they would pay better themselves... I hope that wasn't too IC. Maybe they could get some from blackmail.

Instead of storage lockers, how about a Post Office?

PC rents a container, gets a ticket, and the office holds it for a set period of time.  The length of time determines the price.

Now would-be traders can leave bulk goods in a portable format.  It's magick for the masses!

Anything that remains after the deadline turns up in a nearby shop as, "new merchandise."

Simple and fun.

You can thank me later.

Sounds to me like something you could start IC yourself, build up a transport empire between the cities, and then after a long while of hard IC work with staff help, get something more permanent worked on.

:/ Your sarcasm is what makes it impossible. Yes, if you put enough time and effort into things, you can get staff support to do them. No, it's not easy. No, it's not simple. Yes, it requires effort.

Also: I am like 90% sure you can build a wagon if you are working for an organization with the proper tools, funding, and materials to build a wagon.
