To Be Saved |

My name is ██████. I'm eight years old starting today. Mother has decided that we'll be doing a very special test for my birthday! She said she'd even get me a little cake if I did well...
I'm super excited! I don't want to mess up. So- So wish me luck, okay?
...
"What did I say about reading those silly books? Must I throw them away? Burn them, even? You have to focus on your studies and your training."
No... I don't want Mama's books to be taken away. So I guess I should hide them inside the pillow case again.
...
"Try again."
But... But it hurts.
"Try again."
I've been at this for a long time, Mother.
"Again."
Please... I can't move my body. It's crushing me...!
"You're truly worth nothing. Fine, go back to your room. Spirits be... I have no idea what your Parents saw in you."
...
Mama and Papa loved to read me books when I was little. About a shining knight and his partner, a grand wyvern that saved princesses and kings.
They told me that I could grow up to be like that one day. They even said they'd help.
So then... Why is it that they're gone? Where did they go? Why did they leave me with Mother? I'll be a good, strong student. Please just praise me like Mama did. A-at least... At least...
At least make me feel like I've done something right!
...
"On the ground, count the grains of rice."
They're digging into my knees...
"Each grain is for your failure to commit to the promise you made."
I-I can feel them getting stuck there. Mother...?
"You are not to stand up until you have counted every single grain."
But there's over a hundred of- but...
"Are you really going against my word? Must I remind you who you're disappointing?"
No! I just- it hurts so much, Mother.
"Maybe you'll learn to obey and do as you're told, next time. Enjoy your dinner."
...
'Aren't you tired, ██████?'
'Why do you let someone like her hurt you so much?'
'... You're too scared, you're in pain. I understand.'
'Let me be your savior, okay?'
'I'll protect you with my life, ██████. Let me take care of you until you're ready.'

Katana Dork Special (Sheath Sword + Voltiger) |
Posted by: Miller - 10-26-2023, 11:37 AM - Forum: Balance Fu

Simple change, can we have sheath sword grant Voltiger or a Voltiger-like buff that only affects Kensei Skills for 1 round at the start of the next round? This could be attached to Zen Blade or Sheath Sword itself. (The former is so it can have a cooldown.)
There's currently no sources of 'Voltiger' outside of Flottement which is tied entirely to dodging and Kensei honestly feels a lot better by having some source of Voltiger to make up for mobility.
And honestly?
It'd be cool.

Charging Strike and Charge: A Tale of Loss |

Make Charge not end when you don't move 3 tiles next to an enemy, BUT keep the CD on it. So Charging Strike can be used again.
The reason charge was nerfed long long ago was because people were able to kite with it, but it unfortunately demolished a few charging strike interactions (roundtrip, shinken, retreating swipe to an extent).
Or just make Charge not a status and make a condition check or something if Charge was used during the turn (+ movement).
You told me to make a thread and you'll consider it Dev so here I am!!!

Making Reactive Armor Reactive Again |
Posted by: SpaceShibe - 10-25-2023, 05:17 PM - Forum: Balance Fu

It's been a really long time since Reactive Armor got nerfed, I think we're all in agreement that it's basically a nonexistent armor mostly used for rare metal fodder, at this point.
I want to argue for it to be reverted to its original state, mostly because it's a 10 star, and 10 stars SHOULD have that sort of unique quality to it. If not that, at the very least let it us be able to trigger it on our own via burning bracers or skyburn- which requires one hand or accessory slot as is, mind you.
But shibe the retaliation damage is too stron- Armor of Nails exists and has existed for a long time. Armor of Nails' unique armor effect is as follows...
On Attacked: Deals 25% of your level as unresistable Pierce physical damage to the attacker. (Min. 5)
This triggers from anywhere on the map if, say, you use expanding ice and they get hit. That's 15 damage max. It's pierce damage, which is far less easily resistable compared to fire.
Reactive Armor's retaliatory damage is UL/2, so that's 8f ire damage per tick. But Shibe! The explosion damage! Is 3 range from the user, is CURRENTLY 10+UL(max 16, 26 total) damage. Previously 2+UL(so 18) fire damage in its original version.
Edit: Quick edit, but I'd like to mention that the fire retaliation damage can ONLY TRIGGER IF YOU RECEIVED FIRE DAMAGE AND ACTIVATED FIERY ARMOR. If you don't get hit by fire damage, Fiery Armor/the fire retaliation damage simply does NOT exist, even if you get crit.
I would like Reactive Armor to either be self triggerable via self fire damage(which you already have to sacrifice item slots for to begin with), or reverted to its original version, OR have it be its original version + a cap on how many times you can trigger the explosion.
The current conditions for it is just ass and is hardly worth using over Armor of Nails. Note that this isn't an Armor of Nails nerf thread but a plea for Reactive Armor to be usable again.

Minna Belpater - Character Chimera Appearance |
Posted by: Hekmatyar - 10-24-2023, 02:11 AM - Forum: Character Applications
- Replies (1)

Applicable BYOND Key - GenGenesis
Character Name - Minna Belpater
Request Type - Chimera appearance, extra limbs, extra set of eyes
Request Details - Would like to know if it's ok to have a chimera, with a set of spider legs that can grow from it's back. Mechanically, it would not add anything, is mainly just an IC fluff. Same for the extra set of eyes, other than the regular pair of eyes, would have two more under each eye. Like a spider. Once more, it would be just for IC fluff, the eyes would also not add anything mechanical.
Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - Honestly? Just found art of the character, and loved the design. (Despite my heavy arachnophobia.) I never RPed as a homunculi, and thought with the chance I got with joining a group for RP, might as well give it a chance. Also spooky times.
Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - Not that long ago, an event ran in the crypt, a fight against the Watcher. Among the large entity, there was a large army of spiders. The creator would use one of these many spiders remains, to make Minna. An attempt to make a chimera, from the remains of a monster, that was allied to the Watcher.
Then, she would be adopted by Lionel Belpater. Her current father. Since he found her, took care of her, and gave her a family. She got a lot of siblings now.

Memory Shards |

Can we have a toggle in preferences to see shards regardless of whether we've collected them or not?
This would be helpful for partying with players who've not gathered all the shards to help them with their collection, or to be mindful of where shards are in a map when putting down sandbox objects.
Shards could be entirely visible if a member of the party has not claimed it, and be slightly transparent if all members in the current party (or you if you're alone) have obtained that shard for some distinction to avoid confusion in the latter case of helping others who've not finished shard bingo.

CLOSED - A Spooktacular Game of Mafia |

Tis the season of frights, dreadful schemes, and/or pure delights. So what better way to celebrate Halloween than a game of betrayal, deception, and triumph? I propose to run a modified forum game of mafia/werewolf/etc with SL2 inspired roles flavored as a masquerade at a spooky manor.
Possible failure to launch.
If this isn’t the place for such a game, if there is no or not enough interest, or if Dev/admins forbid or hate such an idea; I will ask the thread to be closed/deleted and provide my work by request. Needless to say there are many reasons why the game may fail before it begins. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
General Game Outline
Setup
If there are enough signups by the deadline, I will make a post here and privately pm everyone their role/ability/team. If you have any questions or need clarification do not hesitate to pm me. Roles will be based on the various subclasses of SL2!
Members of the mafia will know who each other are, but members of the town will only know that they are town. For every 4 people one of them will be a member of the mafia making the ratio 3:1.
Players may pm me at any time should they need any clarification on their role/abilities.
Basic Guidelines
First and foremost follow forum guidelines.
Only 1 slot per player not per account.
Do not discuss your roles/abilities to other players outside the game without prior consent.
While you are encouraged to deceive your fellow players please remain respectful of each other.
Stay active! You don’t need to lead discussions or make a million posts, but please post at least once during each day phase.
Gameplay
The game has two alternating phases Day and Night. Each phase will have a timer / end date so players will know when they need to post / pm me by. Each phase length will largely depend on # of alive players / player activity. 24 - 72 hrs is roughly what I'm thinking until I get a better feel for participation. At the end of every phase I will post a minor fluff piece of events that took place and reveal the identity of eliminated players.
Day
The day phase will open after I post a fluff piece of the events during the night. (Roles may be hinted at, but players will not be named unless they are eliminated.) Once the thread is open, alive players may post to RP, vote, discuss, speculate, point fingers, cast doubt, or cast suspicion on their fellow players.
During the day players may vote for individuals they want to see eliminated. If you wish to vote someone please annotate it as clear as possible; see below.
Quote:"You will not apply my precept," he said, shaking his head. "How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth? We know that he did not come through the door, the window, or the chimney. We also know that he could not have been concealed in the room, as there is no concealment possible. When, then, did he come?"
Vote: STrouble
The player who receives the simple majority of the votes of alive players may be eliminated at the end of the phase. Players may opt not to vote. In the event of a tie no one will be eliminated and the next phase of the game will begin.
Night
During the Night Phase: no one may post in the forum; barring any unforeseen circumstances. Players with active abilities may pm me to use their abilities. Abilities may be as simple as choosing players to damage, protect, or heal.
Elimination
Players who are eliminated will have their role/ability/team revealed at the end of the current day/night cycle. Players may be eliminated by taking damage from abilities or be eliminated by vote during the day. Players who have been eliminated may no longer post until the end of the game.
Winning The Game
Town wins when they successfully eliminate all members of the mafia.
The mafia wins when they make up at least half of the alive players.
FAQ
Q: How many players can play?
A: At minimum I am looking for 10 players, at most 16.
Q: How do I sign up?
A: Simply make a post below saying you'd like to sign up.
Q: I’ve never done this before. What do I do?
A: If you are town, try to determine who mafia is and try to eliminate them. If you are Mafia try to eliminate everyone else.
Q: Can I change my vote during the day or target during the night?
A: Yes, as long as you do so before the end of the day/night.
Q: Is Roleplay required?
A: No, while it is encouraged feel free to keep your posts on the game rather than the flavor.
Q: Who can I roleplay as?
A: Almost anyone. You can use one of your characters, yourself, or you can invent a new identity altogether. Want to RP as Flourence de Byrde based loosely on a single image of a bird masquerade mask? Go nuts!
Q: Can I roleplay one of my characters that has died (not during the game)?
A: Yes, the game takes place in a non-canonical space/time
Q: Is the game taking place in Korvana or G6?
A: Neither, the game takes place in a non-canonical space/time
Q: Can I use someone else’s character?
A: No. Though It really isn’t my place to say.
Q: Why doesn’t my ability perfectly match the abilities in game?
A: While writing abilities, I realized it was better to simplify them than trying to meticulously translate them into this style of game.
Q: Why didn’t my ability / vote work?
A: Certain abilities may affect your ability to vote or may interact with your ability. You may be notified that your ability has failed, but never why until the end of the game.
Q: Why? Just Why?
A: Because I wanted to try, and I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I didn't.
Have a question? Feel free to ask.
