Good ideas - back in the days, Recoba and I wrote up a lot of up ideas, emotes etc for a Black Num. guild.
A hard coded war system would be neat too.
In the meantime - tax Edoras and the Shire.

Pitiful. A few words… orc. Leadership is not passed on; it is taken, and it is lost, and while the priesthood might be so quaint as to deal in resignations, the Dark Lord does not - He only grants: service, absolute and eternal. You will report to the pits of Barad-dûr. Hail Melkor, Lord of All, Giv...

Dude, honestly? What do you expect me to answer to that: "it's that x-mas time; I do it for the kids?" There's a flame section, innit - and this thread, which seemed to me to invite discussion on where the game should be heading, and on the place (actual, ideal and hypothetical) of role-pl...

No need. Your initial note was not hijackish in the least.

We've all thrown more than our fair share of tantrums (my own were both many and gross), and I don't envy G. for having had to deal with them. More than a blame game, however, we are talking directions here. What type of game do you/we really want, and what are you/we prepared to do to reach that st...

Given that, or rather if… if the game is in a state of crisis and decline, I think it is fundamentally wrong to discard daring suggestions on the sole ground that they might be difficult to get right "across the board". Could you mention anything at all in Genesis, which is perceived to be...

To begin with, a possessed NPCs would keep its movement patterns as coded, allowing the possessor only to speak and emote on its behalf. Possessor player class would be actors, finally giving meaning to that wretched club. Boundaries would obviously have to be strict. Even the slightest player contr...

Fascinating stuff, Gorboth. Your personal commitment to role-playing was always evident and indeed an inspiration, but even so, I ultimately left the game at least partly because I felt that it was catering almost exclusively to the grinder type of player, leaving both the incentives for and the qua...

Mmmmm ... Necromancer!
