  [Event] Traversing the Transmundane
Posted by: Hanzo - 10-10-2020, 09:52 PM - Forum: Sigrogana - No Replies

⊙ GLOBAL EVENT ⊙
"Get the lights out-!"

[Image: Empty-Space-Copy.png]
Traversing the Transmundane
Inspired by Dr. Who S7E13; S. Moffat -

Do you hear The Whisper Man?
The Whisper Man is near!
If you hear The Whisper Man-
Then turn away your ear.
-
Do not seek The Whisper Man.
Whatever else you do!
Once you've heard The Whisper Man-
He'll come to look for you~
-
If you hear The Whisper Man-
Then you are in his sight!
The presence of The Whisper Man-
Will take away your Light!
[Image: Empty-Space-Copy.png]
Event Summary:
Hey hey bois-! Going along with the general spooky theme of October, throughout the month
(and further if it is well received), I will be hosting a series of mini-events, that will all tie into
one another, and belong to the same greater narrative. Speaking of tying things down, that is
in fact the main goal here! Bringing characters together, that would not usually meet, same for
players as well. How this will be done, I will keep as a surprise for now~
[Image: Empty-Space-Copy.png]
Signing Up:
Now, the only thing that you need to do to sign up, is shoot me a message over Discord! Once you
hear if there is room or not, you will provide me with the character you wish to play - as well as
answer any question(s) that I might have about them. This is important, given that the content of 
the event will be tailored to those participating in it. The last thing that you need to keep in mind, is
that the general tone of the event is serious. Consider a character that you will enjoy, given the fact.

  Narrative Buttons & Teleporters
Posted by: Dystopia - 10-10-2020, 07:21 PM - Forum: Suggestions - Replies (7)

So I had some ideas while prepping for an event.

Narration Button
A placeable item you purchase much like the lighting changers, but when you step on it, it instead spits out an automatic narration at you.
This narration would ideally be set and edit-able much like a sign.


I think this would be tremendously helpful for event-runners, particularly when trying to herd many players at once, or even a small group of players that spread out during an event- and would enable players to do so with more relative ease and less distress to the person running it.


Teleporters
Buy-able, placeable portals to different spots on one floor. Much like in spatial dungeons, these would be interactable placeables for house owners that teleport someone from point A to point B on the same plane.


This would honestly just be fun, I think.

Could the Mask of the Night's Lord be able to get appearances from deployable units like Engineer's bots?

  [Halloween Event] The Forest of Fears
Posted by: WaifuApple - 10-08-2020, 03:05 PM - Forum: The Great Six - Replies (5)

"Everything was fine, until that... thing showed up. It was the true essence of terror, those piercing red eyes in the darkness... and the sounds it made, too..
..and then everything went to hell. Whole place went dark, aside from the eerie glow of the trees, and those damn eyes!
We've lost so many people trying to rout whatever beast's in there... won't anyone hear our plea?"
 

 
Something is amiss in a forest in Kysei.
 
You've been tasked with hunting down an elusive creature in the darkness of this forest - under a spell the likes of which the requestor has never seen. The grass has gone black and it's nigh impossible to find your way along the atmosphere of a land almost out of a dream - or a nightmare... guided only by the purple lights of the flowers and trees around you. Many have gone missing since the creature you're hunting took control, and those who were heard from again were paralysed by fear, their memories clouded by the horrors they'd witnessed.
 
But you're not scared, right? After all... what could possibly be so horrifying? Well, you're about to find out...
 

 
Hello, Appo here!
 
I know there hasn't been anything public announced for a while, but I promise there's stuff on the horizon! I won't lie to any of you - a lot of the lack of events on my part, at least, has been because I've been enjoying playing the game again - as an RPer, not just an event provider. So I've been taking the time to focus on my characters, develop them out the best I can - and to just enjoy myself. To those of you I've seen around and RPed with - Thank you, it's been fun! But... for the spooky season, it's time to get back on track. So I present to you all an event! You don't have to be a part of any existing group or anything to take part - it's open participation! Now, of course... here's some information I should give you all to make sure anyone who signs up knows what they're getting into.
 
There WILL be PVE - This is not everyone's cup of tea, and I know not everyone will be interested in such. Please do not join if you're not okay with that - I will try to do my best to accomodate for anyone either underleveled, or who may have concerns about how well they'll get along with my mobs (they can be difficult, I will admit-) through any way I can with my tools. Bare with me on that, though.
 
With that in mind... I recommend potions / items for everyone. For those of you who have plenty, I would be very grateful if you're willing to - on the day - share with those who don't have any. But for those who have none, if you can manage to obtain your own - please do. If you can't... I'll personally see if any of my non-event key characters have any for you, or buy them out of pocket if need be. I trust the community will be accomodating - but if all else fails, please let me know. I'm not saying you'll NEED them - but I'm saying... well, they give you the best shot. It's nice to be prepared after all!
 
For the sake of IC, I will be trying to take a more serious stance in memeing in the event. Please don't try to ruin this for others by not taking it at all seriously - a little bit of joking around is fine, and in cases where something funny happens - yeah, feel free to chuckle and meme about it a bit - but don't spend the entire event trying to be a clown - keep that to costume only.
 
There is a limit on sign-ups... mainly just to keep quality up. The off chance that the entire community shows up is a disaster to accomodate for, so I can't just do things as "just show up on the day" because that will be horrible for everyone involved. The sign up limit will be 4 full parties - so 16 players at most. That's still a lot, since I want to make sure plenty of people get the opportunity to participate if they want to.
 
I will be keeping track of sign-ups with a counter in #event-announcements on the official discord, so it's advised to check there to see how many slots are left. It would be extremely awkward for both me and you if I have to turn someone down because the quest is full (if that somehow happens) so please try not to get yourself left in that situation. When the quest is full I will give everyone who signed up a discord link to co-ordinate things.
 
Encounters will be appropriately spooky and based on common fears (and other stuff if that's not enough) for the season, so look forward to stuff like that.
Thank you for joining me on this wild ride! I'll try not to let you all down!
 
[Date and Time Not Final]
I'm thinking of hosting this on either the 15th or 16th of this month, or failing that, the 22nd or 23rd. Time will be somewhere around 3-5PM EST, or 8-10PM GMT in terms of starting time. This is to attempt to accomodate both europeans and americans alike, because I know the poor people in my timezone have been feeling the neglect. Unfortunately it's still a very late time by their standards, I know... but this is the best I can do for now. Event duration... well, I can't give an accurate estimate but I'd liken it to probably around 3 hours at least.

  [2.31B] MOUNTAIN DEW GREEN MODELS.
Posted by: Balor - 10-08-2020, 10:38 AM - Forum: Bug Reports - Replies (1)

Tarnada/Tarnada passive seems to be turning character models green after combat encounters, and has been doing so for a while now. It also encompasses the users chat bubble and such.  No idea what is causing it but all I know is that I go into a battle with a Tarnada, and come out neon green.

Information [Law's End] White Iahsus
Posted by: LiefDeltora - 10-06-2020, 08:59 PM - Forum: Gold - No Replies

[ White Iahsus ]


[Image: 88yFVU0.png]



"Heard about it? Some Corrupted folk kicked out an entire gang from their hideout, a front assault nonetheless."
"Corrupted? All of them? Since when do those guys work together?"
"I don't know, but day by day, more of them go to that house. Something is up."



There has been word of an increasing number of those known as Corrupted in the streets of Law's End. Rather than joining other groups, they have been working together and helping their own kind when in need, even those not under their banner.

Offering short prayers towards the skies as the Iahsus changes its color, they seem to be some sort of cult, or at the very least connected together by similar ideals tied to a religion.
While they seem friendly at first glance, one is advised to approach with caution to them if they are not one of the 'Starborn', as the White Iahsus likes to call themselves.


For the Corrupted in need, desperate and shunned from the Empire, White Iahsus is willing to provide refuge and a guiding light to follow.


May the Iahsus bless your path.

  Lore Answers: September 2020
Posted by: Neus - 10-06-2020, 02:17 AM - Forum: Lore Questions - No Replies

This is a compiled list of lore questions asked and answered in the Discord channel for the month of September. Thank you all for your questions and for helping me slowly fill in the details.


Quote:Can Omina turn off their 'Luck Vaccum', or do they simply continue to suck luck at a constant rate?

To a degree, although it is an intristic quality that is taking effect regardless of the Omina's will.

Quote:What exactly are the economic systems of the various regions of the world of Sigrogana. By economic systems I mean things like, Feudalism, Capitalism, Communism, Distributism, feel free to even dig into comparisons with some ancient civilizations and their economic systems if you had them in mind as a model although I would like to ask for a few specifics regarding that if that is the case.

I'm not particularly well versed on all the forms of economic systems there are, but generally for Sigrogana, Gold, and Alstalsia, feudalism is what goes. Lordwain and Egwyn could probably be viewed as communistic.

Quote:Can element's if I suppose scaled high enough or concentrated enough evolve in form? For example Fire heating up to something like plasma.

I don't think this is likely.

Quote:How obviously divine is the Voice? When channeling Mercala, is there some display of radiance so overt that it could not possibly be replicated by a mortal spellcaster? Or do people typically have to take the church's word for it that she is Mercala at all?

Gods in general have a certain presence to them that is very unlike anything else. The radiant part would be the halo that the Voice gains when channelling Mercala. A spellcaster could probably replicate a similar looking effect, but it wouldn't carry the same weight.

Quote:Always been curious but.. Since a Phenex can revive from ‘death’ in combat, does that theoretically mean in a fight with someone else where they get ‘killed’ could they bring themselves back due/thanks to their revival ability :o? Or is that strictly mechanical and icly they’d still get killed.

More then that, what exactly are the affects of mechanical abilities into IC? Like Omnia’s and their luck drain, etc? Is it all merely mechanical or are there actual ic implications to all these abilities that can be rp’d out?

From the Lore Compendium: (Can they revive from actual death via From The Ashes?) From actual death? Tough one. Maybe, but it depends on what killed them. If you lost your head, then there's no coming back. Squashed into a pancake? Yeah, not happening. Otherwise, yeah, you could probably be revived. Of course, it's rather immediate after your 'death', so your attacker will still be near you, and so on. Also, it isn't guaranteed, so don't try and use this as a parlor trick.

You are free to RP them out if you wish.

Quote:I am curious what was House Hetter's Sigil and did they have their own relic, if so where did it end up?

House Hetter's sigil would have been a pair of horn-like white pillars. Their heirloom was, like many of the artisan houses, not really a 'relic' and more a piece of art. In this case, a person-sized marble statue of Zera, with the little burnt remnants of his cloak around its shoulders. Not quite as large as the real thing, but of magnificient detail with the high quality marble they were known for. House Suran has since restored the cloak to resemble the real thing, but kept the statue for themselves, along with everything else.

Quote:With the profound use of magic and otherwise portable black holes that increase storage ect, jammer genes that mutate things, fallenharn ect that all have transformative properties from seemingly nothing, is it possible, or rather has karaten developed a way, to more or wear portable armors of a sort, say like wrist bands or neck bands with guards ect that when activated can otherwise become an overlaying armor of sorts, like you press the button or infuse the arcane or what have you and say the arm guard extends its plates to form a gauntlet, but to a wider scale- given the existance of metal magic gauntlet it appears like technology and alchemy work together in a rather transformative way so, I was hoping to discover more about such possibility.

No such technology exists, no.

Quote:A question about apertaurus physiology:

Do apertaurus furry legs start:
A - At their waist?
B - Below the waist but above the knees (implying that they don't have humanoid knees and just bovine legs for the rest)?
C - Below the knees with everything above roughly humanoid?

Somewhere between B and C depending on the Apertaurus.

Quote:Question regarding 'Blue' magic;

We can see that mechanically spells such as Graft/Sanctuary are able to be 'stolen' the same as any other magic, but are there any further implications to this? Basically, does a stolen Mercalan spell work as one would expect?

Somewhat, though stolen spells don't function as they do forever. They gradually fade as they are used. Also, the Church won't like it, so it puts a target on your back.

Quote:If the crucifix is the symbol of the blade of Vajistra, then what does an inverted one symbolize?

Well, it's inverted when you hold it in your hand, so probably nothing.

Quote:Is there a lore reason for why Acid and Sound aren't resisted by high levels of Sanctity, when other elements are?

Not really.

Quote:Are there any forms of hair coloring?

There are hair dyes, yes.

Quote:Would it be possible to inscribe runes onto materials in order to create a 'magic tool'? Like a box that keeps things cold, a light, or something that turns on like a match so that someone can make tools for another person that they don't necessarily need to have a deep understanding of magic to use.

Runes are not self sufficient - they have a certain store of focus that they draw upon. You wouldn't be able to use them and they aren't really suited for things like matches or long term cold storage. These types of enchantments do exist (in the case of the first two), but they aren't rune based.

Quote:I remember there being a mention in the past that youkai can move roughly the length of a football field away from their summoner, and they can't move much further due to not having a way to receive focus from their summoner at that point, at least if I'm not mistaken. If there were some way to provide additional focus to the youkai (giving items that grant focus to hold on to, or giving them the status effect from Mystic Grow Appendage so that Wild Mana Crystals appear near them, probably alongside an enchant spell to let them move faster), would they be able to move past that limit? Or are there additional reasons that would prevent such?

Generally no. While the focus constraints are one issue, the other is that Youkai in general can't maintain their form when they're too far away from their summoner and are 'chained' to them.

Quote:Do elves and/or wild elves have their own language?

Elves do, which would be elven. Wild elves generally speak common as is the normal on Egwyn. Note that Elves are aware of and can know common, even on Mersales.

Quote:If a lich were to take the talent that makes it so NPCs can’t tell what race they are, could a lich walk freely in Karaten

As long as they were disguised as the trait describes. Still, they would have to be careful due to their abnormal arcane presence.

Quote:Hi !

The wiki said the story questline is unrelated to the current timeline of Sigrogana

But does the story happens after or before the current timeline ?

It happens concurrently to the timeline.

Quote:Ahem, as an edit of my previous question: if you can answer, what would you say are some of the common experiences you can have in Mersales?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'experiences', so I can't really provide a useful answer, sorry.

Quote:Am I allowed to make a Shaitan with non-functional wings? Since they just forget their memory, this implies that a few races can go in and become Shaitan right?

Only humans can become Corrupted.

Quote:Is it okay if I said my naga is hindi-like because she is from the southern tip of oniga? Are there alt-asian cultures available in Oniga for that matter? If so to what extent?

Answered by Slydria:
Just to make this clear, everywhere in the real world isn't going to necessarily have a parallel in SL2, nor does every place in SL2 have a parallel in reality.

I cannot give you an answer on what does and doesn't have an equivalent.

As for if your Naga can have inspiration from Hindu culture, sure, just make sure it's inspired and not basically identical.

While I don't imagine the culture having roots on the continent of Gold, it's really not a big deal since you can simply say that your character's family originates from elsewhere.

Quote:As a sense of scale, how many Earths can fit in this world, or how many of this world can fit on Earth?

The Great Six probably covers a much smaller region of 'Earth' than you'd expect, so it's not really something I can give a relevant answer to, I feel.

Quote:What types of demons exist and what can each do? How much common or uncommon are they? How do they affect the world?

The existence of demons is only something that is speculated - there is no conclusive proof that they exist.

Quote:So a lot of the cities have a style that can be compared to IRL human cultures. What kind of IRL culture would best describe the names, fashion and architecture of Reapers/Apertaurus? Do they even live together? What does Darkside look like, aside from being a city in a wall?

Edit: Sorry about the multi-question question. There's just not enough information regarding Lazarus in general even though we have races originating from there and I'd like to be as loyal as I can to the lore with my own character.

There's really no real life comparison I can think of. Name wise, I would say something like Celtic. Their fashion is generally things in black and mourning garb. Their city is more like a rather depressing mausoleum, honestly, with dim blue lights.

Quote:Is polygamy legal in the Empire, and by extension, what do the other political powers think of polygamy?

Walrus answered:
Yes, but it's definitely not viewed on good terms by most. Egwyn tribes are probably less inclined to care, but the Church definitely views it in ill light.

Dev answered:
Generally true, but especially because polygamy leads to political strife when nobles do it.

  OOC Corner Survey
Posted by: Dystopia - 10-03-2020, 08:15 PM - Forum: General Discussion - No Replies

Hi everyone.


Before we start this off, I would like to be completely clear of the intention of this thread and why it is being made to begin with.


This thread is not to argue whether or not the OOC corner is problematic in any way.


This thread is made with the hopes of reaching a compromise within the community about how to handle the OOC Corner moving forward, in a way that benefits as many people as possible.

While it's impossible to please absolutely everyone, hopefully we can come to a conclusion that will be better for the game overall without stepping on anyone's toes.



With that said and hopefully established, on to the suggested proposal that the GM team discussed:


We intend to draft up a small OOC-intended map to be added to the (existing or improved) Arena map where players can partake in OOC PvP and general discussion in a place that's apart from the main IC area of the map, but still easily accessible from the Arena itself.

The reason for this suggestion is that it was a better means and more of a compromise than simply ruling out OOC gatherings anywhere but in a house, away from general RP spots.


Before anything is done, we the team wanted to get opinions on whether or not this solution is acceptable, or whether a better solution can be found that the players would prefer.



After recent events elsewhere on the forum, I'd like to ask that everyone keep the conversation constructive and on track so that we can better find a solution for everyone.

So, for tool belt, the game shows 1 to 10 (one could assume it would be 0) but actually uses f1-f10. The in-fight bar shows f1-f10 but actually uses keys 1 to 0 
This is mildly infuriating, please fix

  FaceIcon Selector
Posted by: Putit - 10-03-2020, 04:43 AM - Forum: Suggestions - Replies (5)

Remembering the names of your faceicons and which weird facial expression it's linked to is a hassle, and it gets harder for every emote you put in the .dmi, so I figured that I'd suggest a feature that has already been implemented on somewhere else. If you ever come across this autistic Russian spyware glorified chat client under the guise of a lawyer sim called Ace Attorney Online, you know what I'm talking about. Below's an example of how it'd probably look.

[Image: unknown.png]

Simply put, you choose your faceicon state from the assortment of mini faceicons called 'buttons', sectioned into multiple pages if you have way too many more than it fits the page, which you can navigate between using the last and next buttons. The chosen faceicon will then either light up, or dim, to indicate which one you chose. Although I said 'it's been implemented on somewhere else', I can't say I have any idea if it'll translate well to BYOND code, and I'd hope it does.
