You absolutely did *not* come from that direction, little rockeater. THERE ARE NO SW/SE/NW/NE directions in the tunnels!

I have my hands full RP'ing myself, let alone a second character at the same time... I'm forever in awe at that skill lol

I'll be the first to admit that it isn't easy when first trying it. I messed up so much when I initially started doing it with Thaldorn. It's much easier now and I've found ways to quickly cover up mistakes, as you and a few others have seen on occasion. xD

I can’t stop thinking about how Emlyn said her head canon voice for my character is Carl Wheezer

Re: Announce Post #3110: Year In Review 2020

While 2020 personally sucked for me IRL as I am certain it did for everyone else, the stuff you all came up with in-game more than made up for it, especially when it reached the point where I wouldn't set foot out of my house unless I absolutely needed to. Kudos for the wonderful work you all put into making Lusternia enjoyable for us players and I look forward to seeing what you have planned for us in 2021!!

Re: Simple Ideas

Can we have something, anything, that prevents ingredients in an alembic from reducing to sugar? It's cute and all, but I'm not enthused about losing 100 sparkleberry and 100 goldtint for a handful of sugar. Alchemy is already enough of a pain, this is just...fffffhhhhh.

To add to the player groups questions.

Guilds. There's not much of a reason to really join them or rank up?
Obviously there's the lore, but if that alone isn't enough of a selling point then, given some stuff targets guilds (such as domoth blessings), it actually seems potentially more effective for an org to consolidate their population into one and then just make sure there is at least one active person in each of the others to maintain research and sit on the council.
Could we see improving this as a project and potentially also generally considered in projects moving forward? (for example, can there be an interaction between guilds and the economy)

Seconding the great house system, these can be significant aspects of a character's identity so it'd be nice to see them looked at.

Re: Mudlet Code Snippets - post any useful ones you might have here!

Echo room vnums after each room title. Put this in any script.

function echoRoomNums()
  local vnum = gmcp.Room.Info.num
  local name = gmcp.Room.Info.name:split(" %(")[1]
  
  tempPromptTrigger([[killTrigger(]]..tempBeginOfLineTrigger(name, function()
    selectCurrentLine()
    local colour = string.format("<%s,%s,%s>", getFgColor())
    local text = string.format("<%s>v%s", mmp.settings.echocolour, vnum)
    local cmd = string.format([[mmp.gotoRoom("%s")]], vnum)
    local hint = "Go to "..vnum
    decho(" "..colour.."(")
    cechoLink(text, cmd, hint, true)
    decho(colour..")")
  end)..[[)]], 1)
end

echoRoomNumsHandler = echoRoomNumsHandler or registerAnonymousEventHandler("gmcp.Room.Info", echoRoomNums)

Re: Should Your Custom Beast Be Included Into Your Character's RP?

Everything can be incorporated into your character's RP - pets, artifacts, clothing, curios, skills. They're all available as hooks or platforms to develop your narrative. I love interacting with people's pets, personally, and by default I consider them separate entities from their owners with their own personalities and histories. Even pets that are played as extensions of their owners' psyches, like Luce's Kaiyo and Tikki's Kosuke, can have distinct voices, and it's a lot of fun to see how they differ from their owners.

My custom beasts have always had sentience, but I've never had them speak. I've enjoyed the challenge of conveying their personalities through emotes alone, and it also saves me the trouble of having to verbally articulate their world views.

Re: Should Your Custom Beast Be Included Into Your Character's RP?

I sometimes forget that Euterpe and Polyhymnia exist, but they have personalities. They've even done stuff while I'm offline (I think old!Mysrai would send them to people? I've always been cool with that as long as they're both nice. No rude muses.) Although Euterpe can be brusk at time. Get to work! Polyhymnia is more relaxed.

I also talk to my beast, even if it's not a custom beast. They also are unique!
