http://bbs.contrarium.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4859#p25923 I agree that a vendor doesn't fit, but I had an idea about a past npc when I read thus post (link above). The idea is: role play having lost said significant item now. In the future you'll probably be able to "get it back" via f...

I would love to see a fighting room/cage in the gambling house. Maybe just allow unarmed brawling or wooden weapons for person vs. person matches. Possibly allow more serious weapons for person vs. exotic creature fights (because druids need another reason to get mad).

Could we have a dartboard in the Shady Gaff? I feel like it is a rowdy enough place that they'd be into that sort of thing.

Finally had time to log back in and try things out. Generalized abilities are awesome! Mummers kick butt right out of the box now and unguilded characters are enjoying a whooping 18 more abilities than previously available.

Hey, I had an idea a couple days ago for how to fix this maybe. Having not seen the code but dabbled in python, I'd expect that the 'empty' verb probably works very similar to the transfer verb, but perhaps the transfer verb's for each statement has a 'where' clause limiting it. Maybe take another l...

Also, I'd love to hear segments about the vision for various long-term projects. For example, the death system is partially redone, but now on the back burner. What is the vision for how that will work when it is "completed" (I know how programming projects go, there usually isn't really a...

I love a segment on what we could do to help the staff and/or the mud. The patreon is brilliant, but not everyone can contribute monetarily. Are there descriptions that need written, statistical analyses you'd like to see, historical topics you like researched and summarized? (I'm really only good f...

There was a conversation in the IRC recently on the topic of 'what is riln made of?' Various ideas were tossed around, including looking at what real world materials make sense based on the density. Since it is defined in the game, we know the weight of riln, but not very much about the volume of a ...

I think this would really make sense as an automatic feature in mindsense, or be a nice add-on ability with a prereq of mindsense. I don't think it should be able to be cast at all, but rather just become activated anytime mindsense is triggered. Like, add paranoia any time you sense an entity you c...

Looks more like a bug with transfer/empty not updating the container weights appropriately... again, argh. Thought I fixed that. If you cook normally with get/put, do you experience the same issues you described (minus the market stuff). Also, don't be surprised if there's a nerf to skillet capacit...

I had a thought about how to do this this morning. Have mushrooms be cookable in a frying pan (sauted mushrooms, yum!) or able to be sliced into smaller bits and then used as a spice. Just a thought for that cooking overhaul.

I understand completely. I'm excited to hear about the cooking overhaul. Thanks for the update.

Just a quick fyi/reminder, the bugcheck command is awesome. You can use it to track when the ticket gets closed.

how OOC is the ability system going to be? (I assume 100% OOC) The system to pick up the generalized abilities will be done via the ability command and will not necessarily require any IC action like going to an NPC to learn it. I think it'd be neat to have some require being taught the ability by ...

What's with the Bushcraft "Lore" abilities? I think these are pretty neat. It gives your character a chance to show that they really do specialize in that type of environment. In addition to some basic (and boring) bonuses like increased foraging/searching/hiding/combat rolls, they can al...

Haven't tried it out yet, so you may already have these

seaweed (on failure for something cooler? edible and cookable, if you're into that sort of thing)

A live starfish (can be dried as a memento or cut into chunks and cooked in soup)

A sea urchin (ouch!)

So, I know we only had the OOCsay command for a day as part of the april fools joke, but I kind of miss it. Can we have OOCsay back?

If you can find Qinweiqi ICly, he'd be a willing general crewman. He certainly shares your affinity for fishing at least, and he isn't too bad at cooking either.

(1) Cooked fish fillets seem to be much larger than raw fish filets. count filet You have the following items: a filet of bass (in an iron skillet) (x12) a filet of carp (in an iron skillet) (x16) a filet of clawfish (in an intricately-folded silk carryall) (x2) a filet of crappie (in an iron skille...

I've encountered a few types of edible mushrooms in game, but it seems that I cannot cook with any of them using my skillet. Could we have mushrooms be skillet cook-able like herbs? I'm unsure if they can be used in other cooking methods since I really only use the skillet.

It seems to be possible to 'spearfish' and then 'forage ground' while waiting to spot a fish. It is necessary to stop foraging in order to spear an observed fish, but I still think that being able to look for fish and firewood at the same time is unintended. I haven't tried pole fishing, but I suspe...

Meh, it's less about re-gaining energy and more about sitting and enjoying the waves. It's very relaxing.

Can we sit in shallow water? I get that lying in shallow water could probably be a bad idea, even though people can be knocked prone in shallow areas I think without even getting wet. But can we sit, because this is just silly: sit What, in the water? You'd get all wet! swim n You swim north. Roundt...

You can assume that in the CLOK world, eating raw meat is bad for humans. In the Lost Lands, it's especially bad for humans. We could allow it and make people get sick and contract parasites and all sorts of gross stuff ... and have people complain when they accidentally eat that raw piece they hav...
