Plot integration and continuation remains a constant pain in any MUX-type game. It's so hard to run meaningful, long-run plots and still allow them to be accessible to most players, especially in a game where there's such a disproportionate amount of player availability. We are trying, though!
And I do think the slow burn theme we've started with is rather conducive to this. Hopefully the excitement continues!
Also, punk lesbian Acanthus are canon. The picture's right there in the book!

... Goddammit, do I have to do everything around here?
Yes.
@icanbeyourmuse After a careful assessment of the current MU culture we decided in a very well thought out move that we'd prefer not to use guests, instead preferring people to log in as characters, so that they might interact with us as equals! (aka I don't know how to turn guests on, and forgot about it until now.)
@Zyrus They have always been. It's intentional.

Just an FYI... I've shut down FW to do some backups and other maintenance stuff. Anyone is trying to connect, they won't be able to. Should be done in a few minutes.
And we're back.
sigh of relief

@surreality When you gonna share?
@Pyrephox I'm slowly attempting to app in Benedict. Would love a tie-in. 
Short answer: It'd be a little tricky, or a lot sloppy, but is doable.
Long answer: The data is not stored "in" the template. The database is stored exactly as you see it when you edit your page. It's when you call that page that the wiki renders all of that information, and calls whatever templates are in use. This means there's no table that holds all the people using all the templates, all the data they've entered, etc.
How I'd do it is essentially specify the variable, then trim everything before the variable. Then look for the next pipe, and trim everything after it. I'd have to do a little more studying on SQLing to get that going, but it think the concept is sound.
As for +events, I could see a few ways of easily doing it. Output the data from the MU into an SQL table, then have MediaWiki query the table on demand. It looks like there's a few options ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SQL2Wiki ) but they are all flagged as dangerous, or a security risk, because you are meddling with the database. I'm not sure if it's possible to lock an extension down in a way that it only functions when an admin type is the one to first use it.
All in all, it looks possible. Personally, I wouldn't have time to think any harder about this for at least a week.
I just found this over at the Onyx Path forums. It's a spell casting calculator of Mage 2E. Just a simple .exe you can run and plug in values, and it'll output how many dice you need, how much paradox you have, etc.

@Arkandel So, a lot of people who are very high level and have very high level and rare pokemon use GPS spoofers. Some people even load an android rom on their computer, then sit at their desk and walk around a very popular area (say, Santa Barbara) and just scoop everything up. You can then control your GPS location via keyboard, and just forwards backwards left right and move around town.
In my area, there are a few gyms, but most seem to be held by pretty weak pokemon and pretty weak teams. So, even if you have a CP 1000+, my team of six weaklings will still win. Then the gym loses prestige or whatever, and then no one can stock it up with a full team, and no one can hold it.
@Cobaltasaurus It's open the whole time, strapped to my warm.
In other news...
Level 12. I almost exclusively hit the same pokestops on my run, then hatch eggs, as I run. Though the game seems intent on making me hate it.
I ran 3.4km. I had an egg at 4.3/5.0 km. It is now at 4.9/5.0km.
@SG said in Pokemon Go:
I've been playing on and off, but get frustrated by how arbitrary the capturing is. Like, now that I'm level 9, most of them get away, or the pokeball just flies through the pokemon and I 'miss'. Or some stupid zubat keeps breaking out and I have to try again.
Then I'll but it down for a week or so, and remember that I have it and then just get annoyed again. Is there actually any rhyme or reason to how you capture those things? It seems like some RNG in the background just seems to randomize what happens.
UG!
I used 3 regular, and 3 master balls on a pidgey today. Think most of the throws were 'nice'. It ran away.
Definitely don't get it.
Update out today. Mostly just minor fixes. But supposedly they're testing a new tracking feature on iPhone - limited to a few users for now.
I don't see it linked so... http://theonyxpath.com/now-available-onyx-path-2016-2017-publishing-brochure/
The 2016/2017 publishing brochure. And yes, you have to go through drivethru RPG to DL a PDF of marketing material...
@Misadventure This is not about Pokemon!
Start making rules for a Pokemon CofD game.
@Arkandel I'll gladly pay like $3-4 for a fancy cup of coffee, which I drink in all of half an hour. But paying $3-4 for an app I'll regularly for the next year seems insane to me.
It's weird.
