    The bloodcoins worked for some people because both timequakes and the promotion were a novelty. I for one don't need "stuff" as a reason to show up, I just want to feel like my being there will matter.

  • (Quote) And really, I wish certain people would stop pretending that non-PK focused players are the problem here. I have no complaints about the number of "non-comms" who have been willing to try, and been impressed by some of the ones that a…

  • At least, not a problem of motivating people to come when there is a reasonable chance of success. The problem is there's usually not - so why come?

  • (Quote) Yes, other cities offer credits for showing up. But getting a couple credits from something when I could have been doing literally anything else for daily credits, just to be outnumbered - again - is not really incentive. At this poin…

  • Well, one possibility that might make timequakes more interesting and fights more fair is if there was a counter on how many people of any given org had already entered. And until there was six people total (one from each org), no one else from the …

  • (Quote) Still not true. Yes, sometimes people are online, but can't/don't want to show up, for whatever reason. That's never going to not be true, and is not what you imply when you claim some people are strict rpers. The goloth coins were no…

  • (Quote) This isn't really true anymore. I can think of very, very few "strict RP" people in any org. Every single person I can recall seeing online, ever, in Mag - excepting some recent newbies - have participated in timequakes at some point,…

  • I'm gonna be gone for a week or so. If there's actually a reason to log in, I can be found on discord.
  • Update: Changed 'initial' to be a list, with elements like "combat", "hunting", "all". All means basic defenses that should be up... well, always. Defup alias by itself assumes that the basic defenses are wanted, but arguments like 'combat' and 'hun…

    Or...was.
  • (Quote) Yes, I can do that, too. What I meant is that it can tell when you get afflictions you wouldn't otherwise be able to know about, without using diagnose.

    Ok, here's exactly what I mean:  in Future Report: Celestine Comment by Nyana July 2019
  • (Quote) Ah, ok. Honestly I don't have an opinion about it, I don't know enough about Sacraments. I do think SSC needs to be better about curing (or rather, not curing) hidden afflictions, unless you use diagnose. But anyway, I'll stop distrac…
  • (Quote) I meant, was it OP, in Sacraments? The fact that it was put in glamours doesn't mean it wasn't. I was just wondering what the reasoning was.  
  • (Quote) Was it though, in sacraments? Cause glamours is not that great a skillset for bards. Depends on what the other skills are and how it fits together.
  • Update: Added many defenses(with trigger lines) for things like origami, teas, genies, wonderitems, missing enchantments, tarot, and others. Added an "initial" condition to avoid setting that pesky truehearing, and to be able to track defenses that …
  • (Quote) Numbers/Artifacts is what I said, actually. IMO, tactics opportunities are reduced the more you mirror skills. The purpose of having different skills is to be able to use them in different - but theoretically equally damaging - ways. This e…
  • (Quote) Yeah, this is the biggest issue with not doing mirrored skillsets, to be sure. I'm just more in favor of dealing with the specifics of how certain combinations are broken, and adjust skills for that. Maybe that means there's a penalty…
  • (Quote) Pros: Makes combat easier to balance. Reduces the need for people to understand the classes of other orgs in order to git gud at pk.
    Cons: Reduces combat to a numbers/artifacts game primarily, with less need to work out combinati…

  • (Quote) Ah, it's the end of an era...
  • (Quote) Oh, that's right. Did it used to do something different before? I forgot about that one because I didn't understand the bit on the wiki about it.

  • (Quote) Sometimes, sure, I have this debate with myself all the time. At that particular timequake, the fact that we split up meant that I got a tick the first time I entered, which is typically rare in those circumstances. A lot of times, th…
