Denied Raising

[jilliana]

Please correct me if I'm wrong as I don't recall having any experience with this ICly.

As far as I understand it, if a person is not accepted in a town but happens to somehow, by some fluke, end up in said town and dies, there isn't a message anywhere stating that they can't be raised.

If there isn't a message, would it be possible that this be implemented? I don't know how it'd look for the church to deny it, but I'm sure the GMs would come up with something. It's just a little bit frustrating trying to figure things out completely in character because nothing is being said and when I check the 'who' list, the person is still logged in. Not only that, but it'd help some of us who have characters that choose/can't wait around for the acolyte.

"Unfortunately, this person is known to be banished from this town on pain of death. If I brought them back, they'd just be killed again in short order, and that would do far more harm than good."

When a player dragged Akila to Shadgard, they were told at the gate she wasn't welcome there, but I don't know if that was a GM controlled action or not.

Could this also be implemented for those who are tainted? There have been a few times I've known tainted dragged to a soul beacon and left, only then to stare at the bell repeatedly until someone realizes they're in the wrong place or they have to depart. (Unless this has already been put in in my brief absence in which case please ignore me)

I thought I added some sort of message, but looks like I didn't. I'll see what we can do.

Done!

Code: Select all

            startTimer = False
            pcorpse = None
            unraisable = None
            for corpse in place['contents']:
                if 'player_corpse' in corpse['tags']:
                    if 'permadeath' in corpse['tags'] or corpse['something_secret'] <= (non-arbitrary number) or corpse['factions'][place_faction] <= (other non-arbitrary number):
                        unraisable = corpse
                        break
                    else:
                        for client in factory.clientProtocols:
                            if client.loggedin == 'yes':
                                if client.character['id'] == corpse['id']:
                                    startTimer = True
                                    pcorpse = corpse
                                    break
                if unraisable:
                    for char in place['occupants']:
                        send(char,2,"A nearby acolyte looks at "+fulli(unraisable)+" and shakes his head sadly.")

Code: Select all

if corpse['name'] == 'Bryce':
                    for char in place['occupants']:
                        send(char,2,"A nearby acolyte giggles and comments quite favorably on the amazing hair of Bryce's corpse.")

Thanks J for working on this!

Someone remind me ICly to snip Bryce's hair should he ever pass...

Good thing Clok hasn't invented scissors :P Poor Bryce.
