It likely will not matter for this particular game, but more a general question for future down this storyline-

What are your thoughts on Signature Abilities?

I think they're really cool, so I'd want to tackle the idea of how to work them in. Of course, I don't see them as being a big thing for this game just yet so I've not really looked too much into them yet.

I very much look forward to looking into it thoroughly though and hope I can see them being made to work well in the structure of the forum!

Two things! :D

Firstly, could we have the post-count for each page increased? 10 posts per page seems a little small to me.

Secondly, could Descriptions in forums get stickied so that they won't disappear to the bottom of the page as more threads are created?

For the first, definitely!

For the second, I shall do so! I meant for that to be a thing but with the only one thread when I was making them I hadn't realized I didn't, thanks!

For the last, I'd have to deliberate with Jaxom on that one.

I'm not quite sure where off-worlders can find places to stay, or if there's any cost to it? Or just handwave it?

For now, hand-waive it. I'll probably make a thing of it later but at least for pre-game to Day 3 you have nothing to worry about as far as lodging. Just pick something that seems wallet-appropriate for any references for now.

Edit: Quick examples would be like, motels in the lower-residences, hotels in Sapphire district, bumming it with a friend.

Edit Edit: Suppose if you wanted to go the extra mile there's also the homeless shelter xD

In the D1 event - We don't all have to use a different skill in the event right? We could all use charm for example?

Do we need timeslots to travel to some of the non-city places such as Dalkirk Karolrini, Llasa bo ji Sorka, Alask or Rumdera?

I was thinking of making it so, but no, the only place it takes time to get to is the summit of Llasa bo ji Sorka. Due to the altitude and general difficulty of the journey it is to get up there.

I'm new to this style of play, so this may be an elementary question, but what is the protocol for posting new threads? I want to be more active (although it's difficult with a full-time job) but also don't want to step on any toes. Just trying to get comfortable with this style of play and it's proper decorum.

Thanks.

There is this guide for general bits and bobs:

viewtopic.php?f=58&t=196

Beyond that, no more than 1 thread per timeslots in a specific location. While there may be more than one in a general location.

No more than 1 thread per timeslots for each player, as well.

Those should cover the quick basics. If you have any more specific questions do let me know!

I would like to take advantage of my talent "good cop". Do I post and the next person gets the 2 success?

Also a boost for native son?

Boost for native son so long as you're using an appropriate Social Skill for the event.

For the Good Cop talent, for now I will say no for this event. However, there will surely be times when you can use it later!

I have a question here:

viewtopic.php?f=90&t=150&p=1690#p1690

And then, a question about questions!

When we have a question in our PF, should we just post in our PF, or should we link to it here (like this)?

Just posting it in your PF should be fine. However, if I don't get back to you quickly feel free to post here just to be sure.

Where would you like me to start the thread for investigating The Bounty? Alask in general?

Feel free to start it in Alask, you'll be able to get there simple enough. I'll make a special forum and move your thread in there in a bit.
