An Idea
« on: April 12, 2008, 04:53:33 pm »
NPC client was down and there didn't seem to be much going on. So I ended up wondering something about an idea i'd had.
Would for example a group Xiosia fanatic healers who absorb everyone (or almost everyone) they heal into a hive mind of sorts be a violation of anything?

Hm.. perhaps the npcclient should be down more often?

Seconding Earl: Give some details, for a start sounds interesting!

O.K. I'll elaborate. This Xiosia fanatic believes that the way for everyone to live in harmony would be for everyone to have the same mind. So this one begins adding new people to their collective mind and basically tries to keep spreading.

Interesting idea, I say go with it, since it would be possible in the current settings. It depends really on how you plan to have the fanatic "absorb" others, I'm sure there must be a glyph for it somewhere ;)

Anyway, good luck with it if you do decide to give it a go.

Hmm, maybe absorb is the wrong word.
But thanks for the feedback. :)

Sounds extremely similar to some Duraza slavery plots we all know. It could be interesting but personally I've seen too many magical roleplays like this. I hope you'll re-evaluate your story, tone down on the magic and boost your originality.

Of course that's just my opinion and I'm probably alone with it so feel free to ignore this post. :P

Zan has a point though, but bare in mind, some RPers haven't seen such magical world enslaving rps before. But the originality thing goes without saying  ;)

Brain washing, assimilating, etc... for the purpose of peace in yliakum under one mind.


Interesting, be sure to give it a lot of thought and brainstorming, as well as making sure nothing collides with the settings.

I can only second this... :)
For me, is magic good way to have interesting RPs, but I'm not the kind who likes magic (the 'improvised' kind) to be extremely powerfull.

So feel free to ignore two posts... :P

Just suggestion: Perhaps a Xiosia follower who was doing research on tloke has ingested royal jelly of the queen/been infected with a sickness and from there the rp extends?

Once again thanks for all the feedback. It is really helping me. All the suggestions are really giving me new thoughts.
Just suggestion: Perhaps a Xiosia follower who was doing research on tloke has ingested royal jelly of the queen/been infected with a sickness and from there the rp extends?
This in particular gave me an idea of maybe less magic (casting at least) involved and more sorta biological additions.
Any more feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Oh and by the way any additional information on tloke would be appreciated.(Addtional meaning what isn't found in the library.)

Live for the swarm! Sorry couldn't help myself

Ah well here goes

I think it would be interesting if there was some sort of conspiracy element involved. Perhaps one or more characters are involved in poisoning other chars with this infected stuff... You would have to wonder if your mana potions were spiked ! And if so, by who?

Firstly: Thanks for all the feedback it seriously helps my train of thought along to have other people respond to ideas.

So for better or worse giving it a try in 5,4,




Wait never mind. Found something inconsistent with settings. Correcting.

I keep hearing these voices... thoughts... not mine... or maybe they are... I don't know... its not... like it matters... reassuring... why not?

Not really voices... or bothering... just... accept... it's the way... of... world will be...  better.

Hmmm?  Oh... was I daydreaming? Don't know what came over me.

Well, better finish this bowl of night mushroom soup.
