  • (Quote) Bard ticks are every 9s. Wicca pull off more difficult timing.

    Although ... if we're going to get into a big discussion of dramaturgy + symphonium, might it be time to move it to its own thread?
  • Lust takes ~4.5s eq to 'cure'. Most people will not automatically reject, and if they do their offense is normally ruined. Anyway....

    Not a lock, but a potential kill method. Would need testing and refinement, but it's a pl…
  • Perfect timing:

  • Dramaturgy lust probably doesn't give an affmessage even without subtext, as it's not an aff.
  • (Quote) You only wake up when you're at full endurance (which is why some sleep attacks drain a miniscule amount of endurance too). SM ADD REPEAT TUMBLE E|TUMBLE W, wait a few minutes, SM CLEAR, then sleep.
  • I'm pretty sure eating Morgfyre would result in YouAreWhatYouEat. After all, isn't that what screwed over the Traitors in the first place?

    So giant Morgfyre-Eventru, who would subsequently omnomnom the rest of the Basin. Startin…
  • Flare would be easier to deal with if you didn't already have to chase blanknote:

    You have to blanknote every 6-8s, if you don't blank fast enough they'll break pfifth (and you may need to chase them, breaking octave) and cure a…
  • I didn't get that one in the few times I spun my wheel. I did get the following lucidian one, though.
  • Given the visions, I'm pretty sure geochem is cyborgs. Clockwork cyborgs.

    Half-viscanti, all awesome.

    EDIT: For those without wheels, the most relevant vision:
  • Oh, so they do. Yes, I think it can. Not very reliable. 
  • (Quote) Worms doesn't actually cause hunger, it just makes eating food not increase satiation. 
  • Clearly, there needs to be a FOOTSTOP <door> command.

    "You try to close the door to the south, but Akyaevin's foot is in the way!"
  • Depending on what you're targetting, it may not be highlighting due to trying to compare something like "ssaliss" to "Ssaliss", which doesn't actually match due to case differences.

    Easiest way is probably to look into making a …
  • Looks like you can outr 1, combine all, inr 1 to reset the decay time too, as it takes the greater of the two decay times when combining.

    Although that's now irrelevant. Yay change.
  • I'm not sure I understand the purpose of them decaying in stockrooms on the justification of database bloat - wouldn't any other item in a stockroom take up the same amount of space in the database? Isn't this why we have stockroom limits?
  • (Quote) Nope. Still 160 characters for a standard illusion, and a 2p power cost per newline (which means you can't fake an affmessage in a normal illusion without paying 2p and having a short original line). Systems just don't tend to use affmessag…
  • Not looking forward to fighting my first Dramaturgic Cantor. Oh dear.
  • In the meantime, get yourself appointed aide to the Ambassador. But I agree you shouldn't have to.
  • "We were bashing together, and I mistargetted, and next thing I know Avechna was yelling at me. I don't know what happened!"
  • That's what you get for exalt wrath-ing without checking everyone is unenemied.

    Hey, at least I got a full deathaura from it!
  • There's a quest in the Southern Mountains about trying to contact Old Man Rock. As I recall (it's been real-life years!), when the Taint hit Earth (or perhaps just 'hit' in general, but pretty sure it was pre-Glomdoring) he ran off and hasn't been p…
  • As noted, the failure for forceforest/taint when the other is applicable takes no balance, so you can stack forcetaint/defoliate or forceforest/infest.

  • (Quote) Because suddenly a new org is experiencing it.

    Speaking from prior experience, yes, reality can be horrendous. It's also the best one-button smob raid breaker, and hey, you can drop it in rooms ahead of time…
  • (Quote) Look for the man laughing madly in the middle of a forest of crucified corpses. That's him.
  • It's been a long time since I've had to worry about willpower for bashing, but it seems to be the only concern outside of "we don't like combat attrition" and (more meaningfully) "we don't like the cost of scribing tarot/runes". Bashing and scribing…
  • Let's be honest. Half of you just want Envoywho.
  • 'sedated'?

    Pretty sure they don't respawn while it's up. And additionally, you lose everything that requires the syntax NEXUS on an outer plane - including discretionary powers and guards! You also lose the protection on element…

  • Snya has gasped one final,ragged breath under the onslaught of The soul of Entrias's cloudkill catalyst.
    You see the death occur at the blue dunes.
    From your knowledge, that is v5043 in Astrosphere of Leo.
  • I think GET <item> FROM <container> HERE doesn't respect it: I remember having to drop my curio skull to get things for the Throne.
  • (Quote) As a dwarf brewmeister with charm I can get 40 dmp to all just from racial without moving past sober. Add in amber and it's a total of 60, add in dark and it's 60 DMP and 20 DAM. 

    Cut out the brewmeister and…
