Work and travel have kept me away for the last week or so. Sorry to those that are waiting for a CDQ. I will be back in full swing soon.

General Discussion / Rescue mission quest POSTPONED
« on: February 03, 2008, 10:12:31 pm »
Due to too much going on today for both GMs we will not be able to run this quest tonight. I did not have the time needed to set up. I will be in Spain next Sunday so I am not sure if I can run it then. If I have network access I will know by Saturday. More then likely we will have to wait until the following Sunday. Sorry folks. I will be able to play later so if you see me IG and have questions feel free to send me a tell.

My four year old son is sitting next to me playing his first PC game :) I go to help him and he says "no daddy I can do it myself" then he takes the mouse and starts playing :) HE ROCKS!

He will be out for a bit as his internet connection is off during his move. He said he will be back on Monday or so.

Roleplaying / When you dont want a PC in your group
« on: October 15, 2007, 01:17:42 pm »
This came up the other day and IMO was handled in the worst possible way it could have been. Without any names I will give what happened and how it should have been done.

What happened:
Group A encounters Player B at a gathering point, Player B has traveled many times with the members of Group A. Player B is still in reflection mode so says to Group A I will join you after I rest a bit. Group A goes on its way. A little while later Group A comes back to the gathering point Player B has recovered so he follows Group A onto their next task. He goes up to them and RPs for a while about feeling better and resting and finding them easy from the screams of battle. They talk for a bit Player B assuming he was going to go with them. So player B sends a Tell to one of Group A's members. The response he gets was this is Player C's group (leader of Group A) so I will ask him. The reply all done by tells was no he does not want you here. So Player B leaves. Later Player C sends a tell to Player B saying sorry but your PC was mean to my PC once so he does not want to run with you (mind you he was in a group with Player B earlier that same day).

Ok it is all fine if one PC does not want to run with another PC. But in the above situation you REALLY should RP it out. Otherwise you leave a PC wondering why his friends dont want him there. It does not matter how awful or great you are at RP, this is a RP server and the ABOVE situation should have been done through RP.

Here is how it could have gone:
All the same as above but when it came time for Player B to join Group A then Player C should have said something like one of the following:

"I am running this hunt and I dont want you to come along"

"This is my hunt and I think we have enough folks for it"

"We are on a mission that I cant talk about but I am sorry you cant come with us" (this one is the nice one)

or any number of other things besides doing it by tell.

NOTE: The above situation is VERY different then when you are forming a party by Tell.

General Discussion / Mac question
« on: August 20, 2007, 03:53:33 pm »
First I want to say the new areas that I have seen a just freaking wild cool!

Now onto a not so great point. On my Mac (2 GHz intel core duo, 2 gigs ram, ATI Radeon X1600 256) the areas west and north of Thunder Valley crossroads are unplayable. I have every setting in layo down to the lowest they can be and all I get is a big green screen where I can see a bit on the outline of the things in the area and I can hardly move. Anyone else on a mac seeing this?

Luckily I have a PC desktop as well but if I have to rely on that my play time will be reduced to about 15% of what it is now :(

General Discussion / dead ox stuff in folians vale
« on: April 15, 2007, 08:18:12 pm »
I found the remains of a ox in folians vale. It was most likely killed by a big bad monster that was after me (Cam Cutter). Let me know who you are and I will bring you your stuff and pay for your ox.
