A Possible Third Group (Faction ?)

[tigrus]

Alrighty. Its ok.
We can create a third faction.



The Wu Faction.
You get faction points for pleasing the sexiest beast in the game.
The highlight of the server.
The immortal and Divine God of atys.
The PvP sex bomb.

Sun Ce.

OR, you can cater to his 2 sidekicks and undefeatable friends.
Nightblade of the Night Crew.
Or Pelian, Of the Dragons of Shadow.

Bribes also work.
This is a CONSTANT TAGGED FACTION.
No need for weaklings and pie eaters (disclaimer, that was a JOKE)
We eat carebears and teletubbies for dinner and breakfast. (that was ALSO a joke).
And we start each morning chanting:

"Napalm, Napalm

Sticks Like Glue

Sticks to women and babies too"

Up now I've seen a few very good points I'll summarize; this is only the points I see good, and I think could be easily implemented:

-Teleportes resellers, this is, NPC who could resell tickets to anyone at high price; a way for the neutrals to take tickets that usually can't (And a money sink, not so bad )

-PvP tag that could be chosen. So a neutral could make good PvP. But I think that, as a idea not much thinked, this could be conducted more by the tribes; this is, a non-aligned player could tag for a tribe. I think this could give more protagonism to tribes... that could be a good think, but I haven't think much about it.

I'd like to point out that they are not tickets, though we often call them that, they are pacts. That is, an agreement between two parties, not something material like a slip of paper. I'd say this is exactly why they are not tradeable and have no substance ingame. Resellers have nothing to sell but false promises.

Tryton has established TP technology, the rainbow bridges, implying deeper knowledge of Kami and Karavan tech/magic or his own techniques. The Trytonist 'hackers' was simply suggested as a method of implementation, justified, but simpler than the coding required for new TPs.

Wouldn't want to disappoint your warped mind

Heaven forfend you should contribute something useful or thoughtful.

If Tryton were to return and provide his faithful supporters with rainbow bridges or something similar to the Ks teleporters, that would seem to fit nicely with the lore. "Hacking" agreements with the Ks seems rather incongruous.

Back to the teleports: I'm opposed to weakening, bending, stretching or mashing the lore to accommodate player convenience. I'm in favour of giving homins choices that make a difference to their lives, and empowering homins with the means to find and make their own solutions and alternatives.

When the Ks decided to start imposing restrictions on their teleporters, I saw no problem with that, I looked for alternatives and saw my mekkies. They're limited by the fact that mekkie fodder is only available from stables, stables are only in towns, and by our ownership restrictions; we can only own 4, only one can be a mount, and we cannot trade a mektoub which is carrying something in its bags. These limitations aren't governed by lore, they are purely mechanical. If only we could gather food for them in the wilds they would be a far more viable alternative to the evil K teleports. If there were stables at tribe settlements (which there are already) where we could buy fresh ones, or if we could catch and tame wild mektoubs, then so much the better.

The Ks aren't responsible for homin ability to respawn, as evidenced by the portal spawns; the nanoseed is purportedly a gift from Jena to all of us. Tribes people are able to respawn in their settlements and they have no teleporters Perhaps they would allow us to share their spawn points if we win their favour? I'd like to see that, and neutrals would then have a wider choice of available spawns than factioned players because of their Fame caps.

I like the point you make here (thus highlighted )

Now the suggestions for Mehktoubs are especially good ideas that ought to be taken up for consideration! Being neutral shouldnt be the same as being dedicated to one of the factions... but at least consider implementing some of this.

Also: trekking around Atys is fun. Neutral caravans (notice the c) of Mehktoubs crisscrossing the landscape would be something to liven up the game. I wouldnt mind having to spend that extra time travelling - loosing teleporter opportunities for increased Mehktoub fun.

Keeping at least one teleporter opportunity for the capital cities and opening up for more respawn points based on tribe fame would be a great thing though.

You "make a pact" to get a ticket (nominal ticket, but ticket anyway) who even has some bulk in your inv. If it wasn't material, then it hasn't any bulk.

Isn't so incongruous that a matis renegade scientist (Or a Zora renegade mage) has found a way to modify the vital signature to fit anyone's, and not only the "pacter" signature.

Oh I'd of posted plenty before now but my fellow Karavan brothers have been doing such a wonderful job of making ya look a tit without my help and it doesn't matter if I add 'real content' or not as logic is ofcourse no use.

Psst, take off the glasses. It isn't REALLY an Emerald City.
