Okay, as far as I can tell from code... Cooldowns will show it if you have the artifact, but otherwise, it's cleared every new year and doesn't really have a cooldown to check.

I bet the artifacts will be added later today or tomorrow. I am away for a memorial and can't really hop on and fix it.

Heh. Not trying to be annoying .. But I do have the artifact, and it still doesn't show on cooldowns

Qendyl · September 2017

Pretty simple idea. Could there be a cooldown placed on public posting after 2+ public posts within a 24 hour time period? I'd say nice low cooldown of 1 rl year. Maybe reduced to a 1/2 year if you have the post office contract coin artifact.

Edit: Oooor, a way to vote-ban someone from making public posts for a while? For example:

VOTEBAN PUBLIC SHACHALAI 1 YEAR: For being annoying as fuck.

It might be "annoying" but a few things to keep in mind:

1) Shachalai's responses are 100% IC as far as I can tell, having interacted with her character a little bit.

2) If needed/desired, the discussion could be ended by the other side of the argument just as easily as she could, and this hasn't happened. I can only assume that the people still posting are enjoying the written battle.

3) Instituting a cooldown or penalty means that things basically end up going like this, Shachalai posts -> Response -> Shachalai posts and gets cooldown/penalty -> 10 thousand people can now post without chance for rebuttal/defence/response, etc.

There are other reasons, too. But it's early, and my brain isn't working yet.

If one finds it annoying, there are also a few commands to use. NLIST PUBLIC would list the last number of posts, who wrote them and the topic. If you'd rather not read said word battle, just opt to READNEWS PUBLIC # and let that number be the last on the list. This way they can still post without necessarily bothering you. There are other nifty commands too!

Rhyot · September 2017

Or you could write a public post telling them all to shut up and quit bickering like adolescent children and to take their incessant debate to more private channels because the vast majority of the game doesn't give two fucks about elemancy or these theories.

Kodaza · September 2017

It costs zero cents to not-read something in a public space you do not want to read.

Aishia · September 2017

Just close ur eyes and spam RN.

NSTAT CATCHUP

Tiur approves of IC posts, even if they aren't great fun for people uninvolved.

Sibatti · September 2017

I'd rather have posts to ignore than zero posts. The former at least implies intrigue, even if it doesn't directly affect you. I like knowing others have things going on! Makes the game feel more like a living world.

PATH FIND MINOR can we have this to go to them minors ALREADY opened by people who died/ran away from the big creatures? It's semi annoying we have to go search an area for a minor someone opened, which could be a hour or two before) or, have the minors which have been open close after 1/2 hours?

You have to use 20 reserves to use this ability in first place, Personally I dont see any issue with it taking 2/5 reserves from you to travel to a minor which has been ALREADY opened.

or, making a new command similar to path find minor like, path find minoropen and that takes the reserves from you (if thats easier to code in)

pwetty pwease

Doesn't nodesense already track to opened minors? It did last time I checked.

Tekias · September 2017

Nah. Last I checked (admittedly it's been a while since I've come across one), an open minor shows up in LEYLINES, but is not a find/trackable location for nodesense.

No, I got it down to 1 earlier before making the post and somwhow the one in Dun fortress I couldn't find.

It's never tracked to opened ones or I wouldn't have made the post

Xenia · September 2017

Gambling. I love it. Playing roulette in Aetolia is among my top five favorite pass times. It's what keeps me interested in the game when everything else seems to be at a lull. I dream about hosting casino nights but then feel discouraged at the logistical nightmare of 4+ people at the same table.

I'd love the ability to rent casino tables for a short period of time. Not so much to save on spending -- I'd probably pay more for it in the long run-- but instead to not have something permanent set up in my personal space.

Could something like this be possible, would anyone else use this?

Tiur · September 2017

Org owned roulette and blackjack will likely follow racetracks, which are proving mildly profitable. We could maybe work out a temp system for renting ones.

Remember that all the cities own blackjack and roulette tables already!

Tiur · September 2017

No, they -have- them. If they owned them, they'd get some sort of kickback. Instead they give up rent-free space

Xavin · September 2017

Well that's different.

Jaeger · September 2017

On the topic of gambling can we get a command that shows your total amount won or lost at various games of chance and in total. Maybe you could even add a Ranking category for it!

Blackjack tells you how much you've won/lost when you leave the table. Don't think roulette does though, since you don't actually sit at the table like you do with blackjack

Jaeger · September 2017

Yeah, but that only does it for that round of gambling. It'd be great to see whether you come out in front or behind over the long run.

Tiur · September 2017

I'll look at that. It might be possible to retroactively catch some of it too.

Tekias · September 2017

Plz don't make it retroactive. I don't need that shame before my eyes >.>

Jaeger · September 2017

Is it possible to revisit the actions that are allowable while sleeping?

Things like org help files being readable while sleeping would give novices something to do while they are sleeping to keep them engaged with the game, rather than flipping over to a different tab.

CONFIG AUTOSWIM ON/OFF

I get that because swimming does damage until you get fluidswim that you would have this default to off so you don't have a whole bunch of drowning novices, but cn we please have the option?

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure that you can eliminate this damage with a waterbreathing pill. Alternatively you can get yourself a waterwalking enchantment!

Zaila · September 2017

I don't think the request for the feature is for sake of not wanting to die, but rather for that it is annoying to be manually walking from A to B and having to actually type out "SWIM W" "SWIM E" etc. instead of just "W" "E" and having it automatically swim for you. Much like how autodoors saves us from having to "UNLOCK N DOOR; OPEN N DOOR; N; CLOSE S DOOR; LOCK S DOOR" and letting us just "N"

Erzsebet · September 2017

Wait. Autodoors are a thing? HOW DO YOU AUTODOORS.

...gah. Now I feel like a newbie.

ETA: NEVERMIND, I SPAMMED ALL THE COMMANDS UNTIL I FOUND IT. ^.^

for making me aware that that is a thing, @Zaila.

Jaeger · September 2017

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the SECRETS skill in vision seems pretty useless as it is. It uses up 2.5 seconds of equilibrium, has a chance to fail and (from what I've been told) only shows you if there is a secret exit on a cardinal direction. In the time it takes me to use secrets I could have spammed all of the cardinal exits and seen if there was a secret exit.

What about instead when you use secrets in a room with an actual secret exit (like a special action exit DIVE in the pool in Scidve that sort of thing) it either simply tells you that there is a possibility of there being a secret exit in the room (You feel as if there is a hidden passageway here for example) or gives you a hint as to how to activate the secret exit (The rocks of this waterfall look like they offer good handholds).

Jaeger · September 2017

Not mine, but can everyone please go and express support for this idea!!
