New subcategory in Announcements and Notices
« on: March 11, 2009, 04:02:46 PM »
I propose the creation of a new "folder" under:

(Fixed)
+  Ravenloft: Prisoners of the Mist
|-+  Within the swirling Mist (IC)
| |-+  Announcements and Notices (Moderators: Garison, Delphinidae)
| | |-+ Lady's Rest  <---New Folder here

I think it'd be useful if we had at least this exclusive area for announcements left onto the Lady's Rest. Most the times I ask that any letters to my PCs shall be delivered there, or if I ever wish to announce something, 90% the times I use the Lady's Rest, and, come to think, there are a bunch of posts there, a sub area exclusive to the Lady's Rest would let us go straight ahead there.
What about a Exclusive "Market" area(Market District).

I don't know, perhaps I'm online, and my character goes inside the Lady's Rest, there isn't much going on in there, at that current time, few players online, I could alt+tab my game onto the forums and start to RP that I'm reading the Notices and Announcementes on the Lady's walls.

Too bad few people post such visions, most people come here, read it then leave, few are the ones who share any visions about the subject or ways to expand it, into something perhaps, completly different but very useful into the RPing experience. Wished more people would share their opnions more often.

I believe she could charge for such thing. Like in City of Arabel (Another server) they own in game signs with tons of notices, announcements, calls, and such, all you have to do is, get to the NPC in charge of the signs around the city, then, I'm not sure now, but I guess you can chose where and for how long it'd be displayed there, and again, not sure, you probably pay for this service.

How it works? You take your PC to that big wooden sign on the market(City of Arabel) then you intereact with it, like a normal NPC, can you picture it? It gives you a list of many posts from PCs, you chose one, it's shown like a dialog window, you can browse through pages or go back to the main menu and chose another topic(Remember that menu to chose your character homeworld?). Very useful, we wouldn't need to come here and post it outside the game, everything could be handled in-game, and for Better RP, you'd actually see that it's there, not like you pretend that there's a stick scroll somewhere around the market.

How'd it work in our server? Place a sign like that inside or outside the Lady's Rest, and one at the Market. These would be good spots for a start.

Of course, the forum could still be used, for things more personal. Like the famous scrolls slipped under the Red Vardos door.

Please, don't just read, share your opnion, even if you dislike the idea.

Hmm, I understand the need, but not the proposed category. Shouldn't it be under the IC section, or am I getting this wrong?

No you're right, its in the wrong section, it should be under the swirling mist but we got distracted into talking about if Bianca truly DOES give around messages to everyone.

Close.  Ahriman's the alternate name for Angra Mainyu, the Satan of Zoroastrianism.

Yeah, I sent him a Tell asking if he knew who Ahriman was way back when I first saw that name pop up on the player list, but I think my Tell got ignored or buried in his chat box or something.  :P

I know this is getting way off-topic, but I watched this movie, and that's why I think that name is from a fallen.

Movie name: Gabriel

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_(film)


Look at this particular piece.

"Gabriel fights and kills the Fallen Ahriman (Kevin Copeland), then returns to Michael's apartment where he sketches a picture of Amitiel."
(From wikipedia)


Edited: On the same page, I found a reference  to "Angra Mainyu" linked to Ahriman's movie character, this only means that they do are the same person, but Angra Mainyu is a fallen or the movie makers just picked random demons?

Just stay on topic, the moderator isn't in the obligation to share an opinion on the matter, but guide the discussion back on topic when it strays off.

I will though; the idea has its merits for buildings such as The Ladies, The Blue Water, or else. I don't feel passionate about it since I think we're fine as we are.
