There is no escape from their judgement, so judge yourself kindly and fairly. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/980 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────── you should only open doors for cats and dogs if they're using their outside leg to try and open it. if the dog or cat is pointed at the door at a 90 degree angle such that their apparent directions are approximately orthogonal (50% one way and 50% the other) ... yeah that, if they use their outter leg as opposed to the inner half of the body - inner of course being the leg (left or right) that is closest to the doorhingeframe if you open it for them when they use the external arm, aka the one that is closest to the latch it encourages them to and teaches them how to utilize momentum to open doors. you must apply leverage, and to do so you must "swing and a miss" (that last part I think is undirected?)

The stuff that you find does, when you give it to a merchant to be appraised / identified. some stuff you know the worth of, like rope or barrels or hammered-iron-rings. but other stuff, like the value of this bracelet, is harder to know if it glass. so.... take it to the guy whose seen real diamonds, and he'll tell ya how much you learned when you found it last. item A is found on a monsters body item is sold to a vendor for 50 copper item A is found on a monsters body player has learned 25 deca-levels since last selling to vendor. therefore item is worth 75 copper. player earns 75 extra material points. item is worth 75 experience points. level up every thousand or twelve. slow down the attack speed. make characters gain bonuses for movement positiony. start from always and work down to fewer. talent points can be generic if your character is built with abilities. players don't need to press buttons to be engaged. They can just guide and see. I love auto-battlers like Dominions 6 and Legion TD 2 which is based on WC3 mod! monsters should just... wander the world. Don't spawn them randomly, well, instead of a radius around the player, do a radius around the map. then, they walk through a random point, when they leave the circle they angle- -reflect back in, DVD logo style. if there's deadly monsters, there's deadly players, and PVP is always on. low levels should get bonuses to stealth (an ability everyone has) there should be civilians walking around. They can be armed or in caravans... follow roads, or not... monster hordes should spawn as a flock - when an elite enemy is drawn, let the game create several of their minions which follow around. Whenever a monster meets the swarm, they will join it, growing bigger and bigger... hopefully, attracting players who want to fight and slay them. greater rewards are more enticing...! more power is it's own reward. I think that weapons should have like, 3 durability? and armor like 5. then, it's broken, and your character has to abandon it to survive. or, sell it to a vendor, or just... whoever comes along. if 5 people open the chest and don't take the item, then the item disappears... every time a player opens a chest, a bit of wealth appears. every time they spend it? they get stronger, and it disappears. life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds the life of wowchat is the life of continual strife, but it doesn't have to be so. The land itself is alive, and the monsters are eternally of woe. you must free them, so that their souls may return to the land, and be born of peace and plenty rather than horror and -- stack overflow -- to do this, you slay them, finish their morthly remains, and let them break down and decompose into dust. Pleants eat dust. dust becomes what we eat and breathe. we, eventually, purify karma. this is our duty. vial of woe behind us. flower of renewal ahead. what we bear is savage sanctity. every time a monster kills a player they gain one of their abilities each time they're spawned. The player can keep the ability too, it's just... the monster will learn. Then, whenever a player levels up by slaying one of them, the spell or ability is unlearned. Symbolizing the players struggle to defeat them, and finally learning a way to overcome. when your character dies, you have no opportunity to release - instead, you just jump to the nearest NPC character which is an adventurer agent smith style. [I don't know about that one...] the players can pick any race, but if they pick undead, they can turn into a ghost when they die. The ghost can wander around and respawn wherever they want. Night Elves can wander around as a whisp (not in spirit world, real world) and do a beam attack like in Legion TD 2. Not enough to kill monsters, but enough to help another player survive. They can also cast rejuvenation, which heals about as much as one monster's damage input. if they get the killing blow on a monster they can level up and deal two monsters worth of damage and heal for two monster damage input. on the third time they don't get more damage or healing but they give a buff to all other whisps in the area that increases their attack speed by 50% and increases the tick rate of their rejuvenation by 50% - fourth time they level up they're free, and they get kicked out to the login screen. what if... vehicles that looked like characters and that you could jump between with the right-click of an item?

There should be two beefy armored skeletons, three rabid hack/slash, and one necromancer or lich, depending on if they've died since you last cast the summon spell. You should be able to move them around with keyboard commands. They should be your primary action type, aside from dark purple bolts that sap health, often targeting the nearest ally in need of health to the target. How much health? Doesn't matter, it'll target them just the same. So long as they have at least some missing. Could also cast dark hexes or boons. Boom, three talent trees: dark volts, support spells (never healing), or curses (never damage dealing) But remember, most of what you do is targeting your allies. Drag, drop, now a target gets [inspirationed, but pronounced "healed"] Alternatively, move "attack my target" to the minion type and they'll do as you move. "go-to". "circle this target and attack intruders". "go man the nethermines". "yes... YES! More monsters i know how to raise. They're all accessible at level 10 but they cost more each than a level whatever adventurer could afford. You can definitely get all of them by like, level 30 or so. After that its learning ranks to raise higher level ones, and boom free undead army risen from the bones of your ally's slain." ... Anyway, could be fun to briefly possess one of your bones. Could let you see what the flag carrier is up to in WSG. Could let you know when enough minerals have been mined that you can operate the forgets and build metal armor for your boned ones. Or to equip nearby recruits, anything you'd like. This is wow-chat after all, any things possible. Anything at all. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/deniss ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────── one day, deniss was walking on the pathway from the beach to the store. there was a mysterious turning point that waxzn't remembered, and through it there was a new storee. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/988 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────── https://www.bandlab.com/revisions/77c38263-c77e-f011-b480-000d3aa44c65?sharedKey =MbWyEOor60mZazLoFIohyg ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/wow-chat-raids ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────── wowchat would make a great game for raids. have the monsters spawn at specific spots that you go through and identify on the geometry tell them to run and attack the nearest of foes give the players the goal of bringing themselves through to the end... or, later on, in building an internal expedition. wow-chat, where monsters spawn in a circle around your character and walk to ward them. you can meet characters who'll follow and protect you, and you can meet monsters to fight. also vendors to take your junk and give you cool things, and trainers to teach you and quest-givers to guide you and treasure for you to find. in raids, there are more things for you. monsters spawn at specified locations, and only the nearest few in a radius. then, they attack over the landscape-of- -imagination, and as they do they show you where is the most powerful loot. if you raid a monster's den/hiding/spawning choice, then you have to defeat the boss. this boss is larger, mostly. has more hitpoints... monstly. or maybe it's just the most respected, who can say. anyway, you get treasure if you do. the monster spawns for you when you find it. and you have to sense it by searching for whichever monsters spawn at higher and higher levels and in different types. different monster type, different boss that way. when the boss is slain, that type goes away. at least, until the raid resets next week. or maybe... until enough resources have been gathered to make another attempt. death knights should be able to command the minions to work in the haunted mill. it should be reasonable for a fighter to hire a peasant host. mages should have golems or spirits or enchanted objects or elementals or wizard hats warlocks should have covenants with dark hosts darkness is not evil unless you use it for evil... paladins should have retainers and disciples elves should sing to the woods clerics and charmers should be well understood. celebrants and diviners are two of the same, and pillars of plunder [warrior or rogue class] and rough and ripe [from the stoner] oops gotta go, sprung a leak ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/majesty-in-ravnica ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────── that's it, that's the whole thing, the title of the thing - majesty in ravnica ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/jane-the-keyboarder ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────── "okay let's see, we need a new CREATURE and let's name it TERRY and let's give it a title: .TITLE = "The Acrobat" " "cool, let me just go show my friends."
