CNR Suggestions/Discussion / Firebomb detonation
« on: February 06, 2007, 05:05:28 am »
Your rogue, laden with a couple fire or acid bombs sneaks into the middle of the group of ogres. Carefully he sets the bombs in their midst (drops them from inventory and stays in stealth). Once the rogue makes his way back to the group, he notches a flint-tipped arrow and lets it fly. Flames erupt from the first bomb as it is triggered. Another arrow, another eruption. The ogres, seeing where the arrow came from, charge and the battle is on!
  Suggestion is to make fire and acid bombs triggerable by attack from a flint arrow. The new CNR item, oak flint arrow with raven feathers, would be level 9 to use (same as the bombs). If further limits needed to be placed, make it only usable by rogues and rangers. The bombs would go off with any amount of damage. (I beg of you not to make it like fish where there is damage reduction; some of us rogues are weak.)
  This is kind of the poor man's trap. The ingredients for acid bombs are easily acquirable by rogues. Fire bombs require coal which takes a bit more effort to get.

Just for Fun / Player behind the Character
« on: November 13, 2006, 05:54:14 pm »
Is anyone else ever curious to learn more about the player BEHIND the character?

I find it fascinating to learn about people's RL and maybe the causal link to their character's behaviour.
As such, I thought i'd throw on a questionnaire into this forum that people might (or might not) like to fill in to let the other people of the layo community know a little more about themselves. Some basic info is in people's profile page I know . . . I suppose if no-one else finds it interesting this thread will die a lonely death!
 
Feel free when you copy and paste to delete any question you don't wish to answer or add something too! I've put some details about myself to get it started.

Just for Fun / Can you tell i'm bored at work?
« on: October 11, 2006, 11:36:48 pm »
This is interesting. And, If you're like me, you will keep trying at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot!

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.
 
Your foot will change direction.

I told you so ... And there's nothing you can do about it!

*sighs, goes back to work*

Just for Fun / Arkolio's guide to wooing the women PCs of Layo
« on: October 09, 2006, 10:33:49 pm »
1. When she asks how she looks, shrug and say "could be better" this will keep her on her toes, and girls love that.

2. Never hold her hand. This can be interpreted as a sign of weakness.

3. Send her a LORE bird her in the middle of the night to ask if she's sleeping. If she is, say "you better be" , repeat this 4 or 5 times until morning. This will show her you care.

4. When she is upset about something, suggest to her that it might be her fault. This will pave the way for her own personal improvement.

5. Recognize the small things, they usually mean the most. Then when she's sleeping, steal all her small things and break them. Because jewellery is for wussies.

6. If you're talking to another girl, make sure she's looking. When she is, stare into her eyes ... and then turn back to the conversation at hand. Girls love competition.

7. Introduce her to your PC friends as "what’s-her-name". Women love those special nicknames.

8. Make her laugh. A good way to do this is when you pass the badgers near Hlint. Kick them. I always find stuff like that funny. Why shouldn't girls?

9. Let her fall asleep in your arms. When she's fast asleep, wait 10 minutes then JUMP UP AND SCREAM IN HER EAR! Repeat until she goes home and you can use your arms for far more important things. Like looting.

10. Spit often. I hear girls like guys that spit.

11. Take her out to dinner at the Wild Surge or the Leilon Arms. Right when she's about to order interrupt and say "No, she's not hungry". Girls love a guy that speak for her.

12. Remember her birthday but don't get her something. Teach her material objects aren't important. The only thing that's important is that she keeps me happy. And my happiness is the greatest present she can ever get.

Development Related Topics (DRT) / Left handed players
« on: April 29, 2006, 10:31:50 am »
I am not sure if it would be practical or how hard it would be, but I am left handed in r/l and think it would be cool if I could create a left handed character.  The swords would be switched and there would be minimal bonus/penalties to attack and defend based on the strong hand being switched.  Just a thought since 25% of the population is actually left handed in r/l.
