The Enchanted Lands OOC (Old)

[Taria]

just had an idea for the timer system. I could give everyone a limited number of action points each day and then switch the days by posts.
Also, throw any questions you got at me. It'll help me think.

[MiscChaos]

Action points? How would that work out? If a male and a spirit were working together and both exhausted their Action Points (AP from now on), they'd be stuck until everyone else changed day? Or would they advance a day and leave everyone else behind? Wouldn't the second option be limiting to the really active RPers since the non-active ones would kinda drag the day on? Since you're encouraging me to ask questions

[BlueLight]

So basically since i'm the one that stay online 8 hours a day i am limited on how much i can post but other post once once a week don't every get punished for slowing down the story?

Is there a way you can encourage interactions though PM?

[Thaedael]

Wouldn't the point of an ap system make it so we are all on an even foot, so that those of us who have other obligations can still rp? Wouldn't pming make it uneven, and lead to situations like Bruiserdemon/kylcorn x ladyfox/bitchyface in which they both got to develop their character for many hours, during the span of everyone else getting one post?

[Taria]

alright:
1. AP only applies to the males.
2. It's used for jobs and stat training so that people can't just spam, I went to so and so to train while people aren't on.

[MiscChaos]

OK. That makes sense, preventing stat abuse and such. So how would the males using AP affect the passage of time for spirits who aren't around them?

[Taria]

EDIT: actually, visiting an area should cost AP too, since it should be a limited action. So visiting an area and successfully finding a girl should place her in that area until you creep her off or get done talking to her.

Much better.

[MiscChaos]

So if a male uses AP and finds a spirit, what happens when other males use AP as well? Do the spirit and the male just spend the time talking? Are they in a pocket of frozen space?

[BlueLight]

So is this going to be like one of those Sim dating games for flash where you go to random locations and random girls might be there?

[Taria]

@kazuma other guys who explore the same area as you bump into the both of you.
@blue it's not going to be random but there is an element of randomness

[MiscChaos]

Not what I meant, but that is good to know. What I meant was, for example, Blue uses AP to find a spirit in the mountains and finds Lilia. Then Thaedeal uses AP to train in a town somewhere or search a lake for a spirit. Would time for Blue and Lilia move on like they were simply talking for the amount of time Thaedeal used? Or would Blue and Lilia be in a time freeze?

[Taria]

they would be there chatting it up.
Here's how I think it should work:
You use AP accomplish something that would take energy (work, travel, training). You can spend as much time rping about it as you like, but by tomorrow you have all your energy back, so any that you didn't use is basically wasted.

[BlueLight]

AP is the task that can be done, not the time it take to finish them. Is that the basic gist?

[Taria]

Update on the map locations:
Home base- where all the males start and live
Mountains, volcano, and canyon- high altitude locations
Beach, lake, hotsprings- watery locations
Forest, jungle, village- wooded locations
The burning sands- scary badass place

@blue yes, AP is the energy you have left to do something, not how much time is left in the day.

[Thaedael]

Seems good to me. Too bad Blue turned me off, him eating my manboob and all =(. Worst part is... nothing will stop him from doing htat as a male human either will it?

[Taria]

Training update: Each location has a different training you can do. Training costs 20 AP and increases a stat by 1-5
Mountains: Push rocks- Power + chance of extra power
Volcano: Break stone- Power + chance of spirit
Canyon: Clear ruble- Power + chance of charisma

Beach: Endurance swimming- Spirit + chance of agility
Lake: Withstand waterfall- Spirit + chance of extra spirit
Hotsprings: Meditate- Spirit + chance of charisma

Forest: Climbing- Agility + chance of extra power
Jungle: Running- Agility + chance of extra agility
Village: Parkour- Agility + chance of charisma

oh great just forgot I had an Intelligence stat... I'll have to figure something else out fo that one or just remove it. Hmm...

[Taria]

perhaps you can just simply STUDY anywhere you are for the same AP cost as other training.

[BlueLight]

Let the players intellect serve as this stat. We already know mine is in the gutter.

Back to Thae comment... Na, female breast are to easy to bite and they'll hit you. Men on the other hand can't hit a lady even if she's biting his man boobs of fatty boobyness.
