First Part : A statement of intent
The Empire will make a conference on territorial issues of the Dome at noon, 250th day, 5th year of the 2nd cycle after Timekeeping [30/12/17, 20h UTC], on the garden of the Laanx Temple.


[This event is the first one in the series of the Imperial Territorial Administration. It will evolve according to people reactions.]

Organizations/People registered :
- The Dark Empire (Jilerel)
- The Bounty Hunters
-
-
-

-

The first meeting will be about general issues and the structure of this organization aswell.

The /do command. This is a really useful command, in the same state as the /me command.

For the people not used to it, it's used to make a description of the environment, without playing your character, and can be used in a multitude of places, where it could be a simple /me, or an OOC /tell, or... Nothing.


Case 1 : Fight scene
    A - /me tries to punch B in the face.
    B - /do B takes the punch right in the nose. He's now lying on the ground, stunned.
    A - /me chuckles as B falls.
    A - /do Can A see the blade in B's belt ?
    B - /do A can't, it's hidden by his jacket.
Printed :
    A tries to punch B in the face.
    B takes the punch right in the nose, He's now lying on the ground, stunned. The fist of A is now bloody from the punch [ B ]
    A chuckles as B falls.
    Can A see the blade in B's belt ? [ A ]
    A can't it's hidden by his jacket. [ B ]
Usefulness in this scene :
    First /do : There is not much usefulness here, but it allows for a more precise description of the scene.
    Second /do : Allow for precise details and knowing the boundaries of your RP, while keeping it IC, and not coming into OOC.



Case 2 : NPC RP
     A - /me asks Allelia a beer.
     A - /do Allelia smiles and hands A a beer mug.
     A - /me takes the mug, and hands it to B.
Printed :
     A asks Allelia a beer.
     A llelia smiles and hands A a beer mug. [ A ]
     A takes the mug, and hands it to B.
Usefulness in this scene :
     It allows for to describe the behaviour of NPCs, and can be done to a multitude of situations ! Your guildhouse has a guard, and you want to make a RP with him, but sadly, you can't have someone to RP it ? Fake it !



Case 3 : Environment description
     A - /me looks around for any traces of infraction.
     B - /do There are a few scratches on the tree. Maybe a sword has done that.
     A - /me inspects the scratch.
     B - /do The scratch was done by a sabre. This can be seen by the orientation of the scratch ((I have no idea of what I'm writing.))
Printed :
     A looks around for any traces of infraction.
     There are a few scratches on the tree. Maybe a sword has done that. [ B ]
     A inspects the scratch.
     The scratch was done by a sabre. This can be seen by the orientation of the scratch [ B ]
Usefulness in this scene :
     There is currently no way to describe the environment without getting OOC, or using books. Books can be fun, but if you are in a spontaneous RP, you can't always prepare that with books, and OOC informations isn't immersive at all, and can't be see by other players.



Case 4 : Detail telling.
     A - /me is lying on the operation table.
     A - /do His arms have been ripped off, and you can see, upon closer inspection, a small shard of wood inside his torso.
     B - /me doesn't notice the shard of wood and presses A's torso, pushing the shard inside him.
Printed :
     A is lying on the operation table.
     His arms have been ripped off, and you can see, upon closer inspection, a small shard of wood inside his torso.
     B doesn't notice the shard of wood and presses A's torso, pushing the shard inside him.
Usefulness in this scene :
     Could be replaced by a /me, but the /do allows much more precise descriptions and allows more interactivity.




Anyway, leave your opinion !

In celebration of the new cycle, the Empire decided to open a festival the 24/01/16 from 22H00 CEST to 02H00 CEST.

The main event ? A ball, animated by Jilerel and the songs played by Grindulf and Elhorien !
Food and drinks offered by Glorgal

And... Thanks for coming everyone ! [Post your screens plz]

EDIT : I almost forgot to thank the GM team for setting the place up !

I think some players would like to express many small ideas, developing them or not, asking for opinion or not... And not all of them are familiar with flyspray.

This would a thread where everyone can post their ideas, good or not, small or big, so that maybe, this will inspire people to develop them nto a great one !
I'll try to make an index of ideas here, so that they're available for everyone. Also, you're encouraged, if you've developed the idea much enough, to make a separate thread and discuss of this.

List :

• Fix bugs instead of adding unimportant features
• Confections : Tarts, custards, pudding, candied nuts like honey-glazed walnuts, and the ability to boil syrups into fudge, caramel, nougats, or toffee to make various sweets or coatings for sweets like toffee apples.
• Make fighting a harder enemy more rewarding than dummies by giving a small modifier to practice points for combat actions against the enemy.
• Just a small wish, but in the future, better models for food. So foods like fish delight could be served on a platter on the table for roleplaying. Currently, it shares the same model as fish.
• A flanking / rearing mechanism: since the game already checks whether a character faces another one, it would be possible to see massive mali to defensive rolls against attacks from the flank or back. Maybe even a malus against grouped enemies. That way characters fighting together would make a lot more sense.
• More potions, especially for things like magic resistance.

When Jilerel was studying magic for advanced uses, I realized I didn't know what mana was. So I asked in gossip, and it happens that it's not fully defined. So here are the questions that came into my head :

- What is "mana" ?
    - Is it an IC concept ?
    - How casting spells work then ?
        - Why can some race cast spells without glyphs and others can't ?
    - Is it a ressource, like blood for the physical part ?
    - How can someone gather/regenerate it ?
         - From where can someone gather it ?

Anyway, I hope this will help defining better the notion of magic into PS !

Some people are reporting suspicious behaviour in Hydlaa from a couple of people. Prudence is advised.



People are now searching for the thug. Is he alone ? Why ? How ?
Diagmar has been caught and is now held in jail.


[You can join the RP by different ways : Being a victim, fighting the thug(s), being a rival thug, helping them... Your choice !
This post will be edited as the search makes progress and as things are revealed.
You can post your discoveries on this thread, post screens... It's yours now =D]
