@icanbeyourmuse No the thing it does goes into a matching attribute named CRON_JOB_xxx that is triggered when the time in CRON_TIME_xxx matches. I forget what args is for.

An alternative to getting into rp on a political game, what I tend to do.

Recognize the politics. Make a char not directly involved; one that won't make a roll to determine some outcome for house or home or hearth. Those are fine, but what I do is different.

Take that character not directly involved, party sibling, one that just wants to raise crops, the one that is opposed to the meta conflict(s). Watch the politics and form a strong opinion for or against what is actually happening in news posts and gossip. Find someone and express your political views, argue if your opposed. Befriend if you agree, plot what to do about opposition. Try to have the non political type live in the face of the crazy politics going on, complain about the politics.

You'd be surprised where this can lead.

Not a future based one. that was just conversation that others were throwing around.

@Ominous said in A new game?:

Everybody has been having dumb questions and some of those dumb questions lead the wizzes to go 'Well, that's dumb. We should change that.'

Or even realizing things aren't working the way they are intended to.

Alpha is the time for dumb questions. 🙂

@Packrat Karl was a Marquis though. I mean.

Okay! My coder has RL and I am just seeing if anyone wants to give a hand to me. I am on Rhost, by my coder's request. I don't really know how to do any sort of coding on that. I am checking if anyone is willing to help me out with the coding.

I've a very loose start to my plans here:

and

https://sites.google.com/site/destinymush/home/code-systems

I am not set on the stuff I got, I never am until everything starts going live. So, I am happy to negotiate.

If I can't find anyone who can do Rhost code things I'll probably switch back to TinyMUX. I can, more or less, code in that.

@Bobotron Looks like it is not on Crunchyroll. I just did a search.

Paradox games are super cheap on Humble Bundle right now!

Get Europa Universalis 4 for ten dollars! TEN DORRAH!

All the DLC are like 66% off too!

Seriously its so gud! Buy buy buy!

@Jennkryst said in Kinds of Mu*s Wanted:

Let me rephrase. I will be your Time TS-slut.

It's still not 5 PM, so I don't have time to reciprocate.

Go make me a sammich.

Not at all. As a design for a game that develops coherent story, narrower focus is so very much better. I think GoB (before I took it over, and continuingly) did have some elements of being an answer to other GoT games being draconically narrow in their list of playable concepts, so it's rather wide open.

Though the practical (rather than "this is just the way we chose to do it") issue I'd see with focus on a single family is how incompatible that can be with player turnover. I see that as a major flaw of GoT as a MUSH setting in general -- bugger playing pre-made roster characters, I think most people want to make an original character. But in spite of the source material's habit of having people die practically at random, characters wandering off the game because of players having other shit to do leaves PC families in weird places. Also that thing where some people really hate it when they just suddenly have a brother who was never mentioned before.

@somasatori totally made magic for me on my wiki for my mu*. He is the best ❤ He made it pretty toooo. I'm so happy ❤

So all my broken is fixed due to his awesome skills.

@Rook There are ways to advance characters without giving XP in particular. For example STs can be offered in-game benefits (gain the Prince's favor, a spot on the Primogen council, be deputized by the Sheriff), be offered tokens for game functions (instead of receiving 50% of your XP when your PC dies for next character get reimbursed of X% instead), etc.

But any social perks are very hard to regulate because it's so easy to discriminate despite the best of intentions ('PrP of the Week' always seems to go to staff's friends, because that's whose PrPs staff usually see in the first place) and because it takes so much work.

Handing a ST a Beat for a 3-hour long scene is easy; reading that 3-hour long's scene to determine its worth then coming up with a unique way to say thanks is a bitch of a task over time.

@Thenomain I know, right?! I need local friends who game. OMG.

@Bennie
I wondered if this type of thing would be a good use of places; makes me glad I decided to write a workable version for PennMUSH for my game.

@Rook You totally are and you'll enjoy it. I deem it so.

Set operations are useful for combining (or separating) groups of things you are interested (or not interested) in operating upon.

Consider use-case: What friends of mine are online now? (set-intersection of lwho and your private list of friends)

tl;dr:

union of (a b c d) (c e f g) -> (a b c d e f g)
intersection of (a b c d) (c e f g) -> (c)

Often you'll see mushcode like setunion(%va,) or similar. What this is doing is saying "perform a simple (lexicographical) sort on the elements of %va, remove any duplicates, and return it."
