@Aria : If you log in (angels.mechanipus.com 8000), go to construction zone, and then go to dt, it'll spit you out at the library. From there four rooms have been desc'd. It would /probably/ be best if the grids were uniform-ish-- so informative room descs rather than descriptive ones.

I need desc's for the following places/rooms/neighborhoods:

Downtown Core

• Library (Central/Los Angeles downtown Library) Done
• Bunker Hill Done
• Music Center Done
• Civic Center Done
• Pershing Square Done
• Skid Row Done
• Fashion District Done
• Little Tokyo Done
• Alameda Street Done
• Chinatown Done
• Staples/Convention Center Done
• Westlake Done
• MacArthur Park Done
• Elysian Park Done

Silver Lake

• Echo Park Done
• Silver Lake Done
• Silver Lake Heights Done, potentially to be cut.
• La City College Done

Mid-Wilshire

• Hancock Park Done
• Mid-Wilshire Done
• Melrose Done
• Miracle Mile West Done
• Miracle Mile East Done
• La Cienega Restaurant Cut

Hollywood

• Barnsdale Park Done
• Franklin Ave Done
• Hollywood & Vine Done
• HMP Cemetery Done
• Sunset Blvd Done
• Central Hollywood Done
• La Brea Done
• Runyon Canyon Park Done
• Laurel Canyon and Mulholland Done

Griffith Park

• Los Feliz
• Griffith Observatory
• Hiking Trails
• LA Zoo
• Forest Lawn Memorial Park
• Bronson Caves & Quarry
• Hollywood Sign
• Hollywood Reservoir

Pasadena

• Old Town Pasadena
• Eagle Rock
• Rose Bowl
• CalTech/PCC
• San Marino
• Mount Washington
• South Pasadena

Whatever I can't source out people to @desc, or get desc'd based off of wikipedia and google maps will end up being cut.

@surreality Unless someone is going ot desc Santa Monica, nothing from Santa Monica is going on. Which is where Beverly Hills was put on the game +map I'm basing the grid off of.

I've started writing informative descs based off of Wikipedia, google maps, and google research.

@Thenomain @mvattr has the option to leave a new attr aside with the data.

I reeeeaaaally need someone to Desc LA for me (As in Los Angeles.) Anyone? Please?? Pretty please?

@Scorn Not really. If @Thenomain thinks the game should be copied-- someone should do that. But that wouldn't be me because despite @Chime walking me through it I haven't retained that knowledge.

Best I could do would be to temporarily put the new code in as something like: +sheet2, see how much is broken on PCs. Get that all fixed, and then halt the old code, and put in +sheet2. This, of course, also means doing this with like +xp, and stuff.

Though @skew keeps telling me that +XP in the new code depends on SQL? Which I don't know that reno has?

1. No, I installed the code on Reno. @Thenomain may have helped afterward? But that was me and @tragedyjones. It's why Nekomata basically owns all of the code objects.
2. I offered Wendigo several times to migrate over from the old code to Theno's new code. As I even had it all in text files mostly 100% ready to just c/p in. I probably wouldn't have needed to touch anyone's +sheets. Every time I offered I was met with silence.
3. If I can find my text files I can either give them to you, or try to find time to migrate the code over.

ETA About the only thing I didn't do was muost of what they have for werewolf right now.

@Caryatid Sabine was amazing. She was one of my favorites to ST for. :] (So was @Pyrephox's character. It's been so many years now I'M ALLOWED TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY FAVORITES. Giving Pyrephox's character a magic deck of cards that could so many /awful things/ was one of my favorite things, even if it was disappointing he didn't use them! pout)

Updated to note current alts on Arx, and added Seamair on Fifth Kingdom.

Also, also. Guys.

I've been playing Nikki-- at least enough to not get idle frozen --since /december of 2015/. Someone give me a fucking gold star.

@Caryatid !! I didn't realize you were from Darkwater!!

Also hallo. I am also going to Fifth Kingdom.

I think you might get more interest of people willing to help, if you discussed what it's going to be other than "Smux"?

There was a WORA MU* for a while. It really didn't last all that long.

One small correction-- Emele and Eshken are commoners not minor nobility. Though Kenna-- who is --just went back on the roster (and that is sad ).

@kitteh Re: Combat retainers. Please note raising the retainers level to 5 does nothing but let you raise their stats. The level of the retainer caps their stats. I just spent a month leveling my character's dog to 5. Now I have to take MORE MONTHS to actually buy up her skills and her stats-- which buy the way seem to have the same XP progression as PCs AND cost military/economic/social resources.

@Meg said in Date Thenomain:

Also Theno already said he likes me too much to teach me how to WoD??? I think I am in.

this makes me want to choke him because I don't care about your sanity and we could really use another person skilled nad versed in his particular iteration of CofD MU code.

chopped liver

Also I do not want to date the Theno he's like my brother.

Work is slow because I'm graduating in two weeks and trying to hold myself together with tape and glue, but here's some stuff...

there's probably typos and spelling errors galore because i've had like four hours of sleep.

@Arkandel said in Chronicles of Darkness Game: Seeking help:

That does sound cool. Basically make sure you're not too restrictive in terms of concepts and it'll be fine, I'm sure.

Hi. I'm Cobalt. I give no fucks. Nice to meet you!

@Thenomain My main issue with it is when it tracks cross games. Like, I don't like that very much. I can't really articulate it very well, but it hits my buttons wrong. Like-- I'm ok with the idea of keeping records of what someone is doing on /your game/ to be a jerk to other players. But I don't think anyone has the right to take those records to another game.

Y'all're literally no help!

Maybe I'll do this:

• The Draco Constellation, The Hungry Court, the Court of Greed.
• The Aquarius Constellation, The Quixotic Court, the Court of Hope.
• The Lillium Constellation, The Romantic Court, the Court of Wonder.
• The Orion Constellation, The Inquisitive Court, The Court of Curiosity.
• The Andromeda Court, The Jealous Court, The Court of Envy.

Although I might switch out Greed for Gluttony as @EmmahSue has mentioned that 'hungry' suggests gluttony rather than greed.

I know the conversation has moved on but as a gamerunner, I'm not really down with the idea of setting up a db for problem players. There are people that I know I would know find welcome on my game. Some of them know who they are, and some of them should fucking know. But if they manage to play on the game without me being aware it's them, and without them causing problems-- then whatever.

If they cause problems then I'll ask them to leave.

Keeping a db of people's stuff from /other games/... gives me the willies.
