Hell (Death Realm) has a librarian
« on: December 15, 2005, 10:54:49 pm »
I have appointed myself as Hell\'s Librarian.  I will linger in the library, organizing books and helping those souls that are stuck in this realm.  Please occasionally bring me some food and supplies from \"up top\".

Congratulations for getting the job! ;)
It could be nice to post a little story in the Roleplaying forum, maybe to explain how you got the job and also let people know what a librarian who lives in the DR does all day long. :)

I bet 50 tria that he\'s playing Yatsy...

Ah finally someone to help me get the right books for my studies whenever I\'m down there. I hope you brought a ladder with you to reach those high shelves ...

... wonder what\'s on them.

The funniest thing, all the pages of the books have been glued shut.  How ironic that I hang out in a library all day and have nothing to read.
I guess that\'s hell for you.


Note:  I am also offering safe-keeping services.  You can leave items with me (like a bank) for a small fee of 50 trias.

Hey, if you need some books on dark gods and whatnot, I\'d be happy to write them!

Mabey you should recruit some librarian assistants...I mean its a big library and someone might try and steal from you...Or use them to do the cleaning sorting or getting you items...That and it could get lonely down there...

I seem to already be picking up helpers.  Didn\'t even ask for any.. they just come.

I\'ve heard from some of my minions that there are some people who do not agree with DR having a librarian helping people escape.  Well, let me say that, yes, I\'ve been helping a TON of people get started on the right path out... but almost all of them had lighting issues... meaning they couldn\'t see anything.  I had the same problem when I first started and I couldn\'t escape DR until I used the --fullbright param, at which point it became easy.  So, why are people with dark monitors or crappy gfx cards penalized?  That should not be part of the game!  So, I devote myself to staying down here helping whoever I can. Luckily the hardest part is the darkness just after the library, so my place is a good one from which to direct people.  I guess if the game lords find out about me and do not like me, then there isn\'t much I can do if they decide to kill me off.  Until then, I am there to help the newbs.

Helping people in-game, in-character is perfectly fine. It\'s when things go out-of-character or you get specific help on the boards that there are issues.

Feel free to post a [RP] thread on the in-game roleplay forum detailing any adventures, etc you have as librarian. :)

Well, I do stay IC when I first meet people down here in the library.  I ask them if I may of assistance.  If they ask me how to escape, I point them in the right direction... if they come back soon after, still lost, I go OOC and ask them if they can see anything, at which point I will tell them about --fullbright or adjusting gamma.  So, I am mostly IC, and sometimes OOC when helping with technical issues.

Oh, and as far as posting RP stories, I have to say that the library is a most boring place most of the time.  Except for helping people, nothing  really happens... well, sometimes I get the odd strange event in the dark flame room across the way.

Well, feel free to keep a diary or somesuch--I\'m sure you can find ways to keep it interesting; just keep it IC. As for OOC stuff, if you could keep that to tells, it\'d be great. :)

Well, I don\'t know what your character is like, but it would be fun to see a sadistic librarian who gets his kicks out of leading people the wrong direction. Everybody helps everybody these days. Why can\'t somebody ruin things for others (IC of course)? :P
And why would a good guy want to live in DR library anyway...you gotta be a little sadistic for that ;)

Heck, I\'d live there -- just imagine the sorts of things you could learn from browsing through the stacks.  The Death Realm library is where books go when they\'re destroyed, right?   :D

Also, it\'s fun to stand motionless behind the desk and have people assume you\'re a new NPC.  Especially if they ask for a quest.   ;)
