OOC: Some bits have been omitted for the sake of some of those mentioned. And yes, this may be confusing, but, there is a lot of ideas being thrown around here... this is relatively unedited.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
it sucks when most of the peeps on mugen aren't aware of THE GODDAMNED BATMAN's rep
Shikamaru says:
Aye...
Shikamaru says:
..Neh, actually, I was meaning to talk to you.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
ah
Shikamaru says:
I've had some ideas... and, since you're in charge of Mugen Hall, I kinda wanted to bounce them off you, if you want to tweak for them MH, while I'm thinking about 259.. (hope you don't mind.. you can decline, if you're busy, or rather want to talk about something else).
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
sure, i'm all ears
Shikamaru says:
Alright.. 3 things, really.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
ok
Shikamaru says:
Pets, Gangs system, & a new item customization choice, for 'lesser' customizations.
Shikamaru says:
In other words, mass production, and the possibility of having 'stocks' in such things.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
ok
Shikamaru says:
Let's say, under the item-types of 259.. a person were to construct customized cell phones.
Shikamaru says:
1/4 lb miscellanious electronics, 1/4 sheet metal, 1/8 rubber... that sort of thing.
Shikamaru says:
Oh, and 1/4 gallon of gasoline (or however much is needed to make a decent explosion).
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i see
Shikamaru says:
Anyways...
Shikamaru says:
You pay $250 for the customization of this, to permit it to 'call people', to be 'untrackable', to 'explode on command', with different types of 'self-destruct sequences', such as instant to delayed countdown or something.
Shikamaru says:
...Then, if anyone else wants to make the exact same type of cheap item, all they have to pay is $15 or $50.
Shikamaru says:
But, that actually goes to the person who first originally paid the full amount for its customization---brb
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
ok
Shikamaru says:
Back..
Shikamaru says:
Anyways... before I continue on, does this already sound a bit complicated?
Shikamaru says:
And perhaps not worth it?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
mass produce cellphones for one time use?
Shikamaru says:
Well...
Shikamaru says:
More rather, only one person has to pay the full $250 so that it has such functions
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i juss don't want players abusing the explosion part
Shikamaru says:
Aye. Probably, at most, it'd work only as a 'flash bang'
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
flash bangs don't require gasoline
Shikamaru says:
... mm. Well, this was only an example, though
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
ah
Shikamaru says:
..The mentality thought-process of all of this is completely 'add-on', so, it can be deleted easily with no harm done, if this doesn't end up the way it was intended.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
ah
Shikamaru says:
And also, for those who love to create items, like a simple baseball bat, or something... the initial customization cost of making the baseball bat out of 3-5 lbs of wood...
Shikamaru says:
(..Though, this may mean that the $250 first initial customization price would become mandatory for the 'putting together' of all materials...)
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
ah
Shikamaru says:
Er.. yeah. Not ex-post facto, of course, but.. its a way to get people to sorta 'pay off their items' by itself, by having other people try and buy it, or something..
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i see
Shikamaru says:
Neh.. what're your thoughts?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
seems interesting enough, we should get how the item abilities work first before getting into mass producing stuff
Shikamaru says:
Aye. I'll finish the 'customization' rules before I go through with this next project
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
oh, transfer rules should be up and finalized by sat
Shikamaru says:
Alright.
Shikamaru says:
Are they as relaxed as 259's, or a bit stricter?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
at the same time it's relaxed yet at the same time strict, b/c i'm working a system that accomodates 552, 259, and Hircine
Shikamaru says:
Aye.. I see.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
it's good for me b/c i'll have ppl that are familiar with THE GODDAMNED BATMAN's rep
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
so far, the fucker's managed to raise hell by taking advantage of the fact that not many know his rep
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
all of the complaints i've gotten so far regarding players such as fights came from THE GODDAMNED BATMAN, yet it had nothing to do with him
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
he also personally attacked 'A BIG DADDY' and saying he's abusing his powers
Shikamaru says:
...Yeah....
Shikamaru says:
I'm sad to see that Mugen Hall has a lot 'tenser' atmosphere, and has a community more willing for arguing.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i've said many times they can come to me
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
instead, they go to THE GODDAMNED BATMAN
Shikamaru says:
THE GODDAMNED BATMAN, is of course, one of the aligning issues of why that is.--->_>
Shikamaru says:
Mm.
Shikamaru says:
Then, maybe you need to reach out to them.
Shikamaru says:
It's worked for me on 259.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i got that handled, THE JOKER transferred his char from 552 to mugen
Shikamaru says:
Aye? Good then.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
so far
Shikamaru says:
Mm...
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
it was something we were unprepared for
Shikamaru says:
I'm sorry that I'm unable to be as efficent a moderator for ya.---?
Shikamaru says:
Eh?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
it's cool, remember, real life comes first
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
sadly, ppl like THE GODDAMNED BATMAN don't realize that shit
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
SAILOR MOON's been telling me that it's been pissing her off on how THE GODDAMNED BATMAN's ignorant to that fact
Shikamaru says:
Its possible that he's one of those people.. who have no life.
Shikamaru says:
Much like myself.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
big reason THE GODDAMNED BATMAN never tried that shit on 259 is b/c the staff old and new perfectly know about him
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
THE JUGGERNAUT referred to THE GODDAMNED BATMAN as a closet whiner
Shikamaru says:
XD
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
POISON IVY referred to THE GODDAMNED BATMAN as a bitch ho
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
THE JOKER called him a virus
Shikamaru says:
Hahahahahahaha... Unfortunetely, his tactics are effective, no?
Shikamaru says:
For now, anyways
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
THE GODDAMNED BATMAN's also been cited as one of the reasons 552 went to hell
Shikamaru says:
..Seriously?
Shikamaru says:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
ALDARIS and FENIX told me for a brief while when THE GODDAMNED BATMAN left 552, the atmosphere has been kinder
Shikamaru says:
... 'Tis a pity. I'm amazed at the fact that I was alerted to this guy as early on as Arcane Academy.. and I'm sad to hear that it was.. 'temporary', aye?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
but 552's been having a lot of problems
Shikamaru says:
Aye?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
whole time, THE GODDAMNED BATMAN just added to it
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
though i am slightly ticked at BARNEY THE DINOSAUR for giving THE GODDAMNED BATMAN my msn
Shikamaru says:
XD
Shikamaru says:
It cannot be helped.
Shikamaru says:
With problems, you can only ignore them, and let them fester, or take them on, head-on
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i didn't need to listen to THE GODDAMNED BATMAN
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
sota wasn't that familiar with THE GODDAMNED BATMAN's rep either
Shikamaru says:
..Neh, it can't be helped, though.
Shikamaru says:
If you need me for anything, give me an alert on 259.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
will do
Shikamaru says:
Mm. I know its rude, though, but, would you mind if I bounced the last 2 ideas on you?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
go for it
Shikamaru says:
Or, would you rather discuss something about MH? I understand you have priorities, after all, more then I do.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
go ahead
Shikamaru says:
Alright... well... I was thinking about how to make Charisma/Intelligence more useful.
Shikamaru says:
Gangs came to mind.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
ok
Shikamaru says:
And... the thought of 'buying' territories and 'having' about 10 starting-off NPC's for that territory
Shikamaru says:
Such as a 'dock', a 'junkyard', a specific 'district', an 'alley'
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
eh, not too keen on that one, i rather have ppl fight for it
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
or find some other ways of taking over w/out resorting to money earned by post count, etc
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
when i was in nocturne, i was in charge of the gang's recruitment and cash flow
Shikamaru says:
Aye?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i got irl political, business, and journalistic exp
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i applied it
Shikamaru says:
Go on.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
instead of using nocturne's funds, we used other ppl money which is an important business rule
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
IC, bought up property etc such and turned them into fight clubs
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
karel got pissed b/c he don't know shit about american let alone nyc
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
in america, money talks
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
what u know is important, but it's more of who you know
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
sadly, america is no meritocracy
Shikamaru says:
*nods*...
Shikamaru says:
Neh, but, the idea I had in mind is more like... 'to get better training facilities', and that sort of thing.
Shikamaru says:
Or, I dunno.
Shikamaru says:
Mm.. if I had it planned out... and all typed down, yeah.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
philadelphia's large, make them find their own damn territory
Shikamaru says:
XD
Shikamaru says:
Well, the initial 'purchase' so to speak, would be to 'raise reputation' in afore-said, territory
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
eh, it would make things too easy
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i rather have them do their research
Shikamaru says:
Alright.
Shikamaru says:
But, let's say we're talking about 259 here.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
SoCal is large too
Shikamaru says:
I know.
Shikamaru says:
I live there.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
IC, i already know who to reach
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
depending on the gang ideas and who u want to reach out depends on your ethics
Shikamaru says:
Mm.. alright then.
Shikamaru says:
I agree, it does make it easier, however...
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
depends on who u target
Shikamaru says:
..But that's part of the reason why I want to do it. But, admittedly, that may be 'too' easy, as you say.. I may just bounce it around a bit more, though.
Shikamaru says:
Aye.
Shikamaru says:
My last idea.. has to do with pets, though.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
pets can be treated in the same manner as npcs
Shikamaru says:
*nods*
Shikamaru says:
But, depending on how much you pay and/or 'customize' it, I originally thought of the possibility of having it possible to help you in attacking things, when not on school grounds, but, with a strict limitation on its statistics, from 5-10 each.
Shikamaru says:
And/or, just purchased for flair/NPCing, or whatnot, though, you can negate this by starting out with such a pet.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
eh, not to keen on that
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
b/c celeste used her dog to metagame a lot
Shikamaru says:
Aye, I've heard of that too.
Shikamaru says:
Hence...
Shikamaru says:
But, then, it had 'fucking amazing' statistics.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
plus players would possibly abuse that possible loophole
Shikamaru says:
Which loophole?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
npcs
Shikamaru says:
Ah.
Shikamaru says:
Neh...
Shikamaru says:
I'm going to return to a previous idea.
Shikamaru says:
The gangs
Shikamaru says:
Forget what I mentioned about the territories.
Shikamaru says:
Let's say we were to stick strictly to 'gang NPC's', 'cash', 'intelligence', & 'charisma'.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i don't want ppl buying gang npcs
Shikamaru says:
Such as... every gang starts out with 10 people.. but, you need to have a certain amount of statistics
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
that led to a major problem on 552
Shikamaru says:
--no, I'm not talking about 'buying' NPC's. Just the starting ones.
Shikamaru says:
The first 10.
Shikamaru says:
The only way to add to this would be to increase your own statistics to add your own statistical NPC's naturally from your own character growth.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
how i have it, the combined char constitutes to allocution of npcs
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
players part of a gang have the choice to allocute their NPCs to the leader
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
if and when that player leaves, the gang loses those NPCs
Shikamaru says:
I see... that's not too bad.
Shikamaru says:
Mm.. pending on NPC rank, is it possible for them to grow in statistics? If only by 'rank'?
Shikamaru says:
Lemme give an example
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
nah, don't want them doing that
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
soke and i talked, each npc gets 95 points
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
that can be allocuted to stats, etc
Shikamaru says:
Leader (PC), Secondary Leader(s) (PC), Third Rank (NPC/PC), Fourth Rank (NPC/PC), Fifth Rank (NPC/PC).
Shikamaru says:
Ahh...
Shikamaru says:
Mm... you want me to go on, or you're already firm with your idea? (plz, keep in mind, I'm not talking about JUST MH here.. I'm also talking about 259).
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
keep going
Shikamaru says:
Well, so to speak, with 259's current rules, characters can only attain up to 2 NPC's in their entire time there (Leon's fear of 552 incidents occuring on 259.. hence my modified version that he adopted on 259, that I worked with him on)
Shikamaru says:
But, with the 'obtaining/purchasing 5-10' NPC's, and maybe an adoption of the 'allocating other character NPC's' to a gang..
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
up to the player if s/he wants to allocute them or not
Shikamaru says:
As well as adopting 552's 'badge/mark/symbol' statistic booster, which SHOULD be different for each gang, pending on their orientation..
Shikamaru says:
*nods aye to that*
Shikamaru says:
Well... my run-on thoughts aside, I was thinking of perhaps, for $1000, all Gang NPC's could have their statistics increased by 1
Shikamaru says:
And..
Shikamaru says:
The badge/symbol/mark benefits would apply to all the NPC's thar
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
could work, but what happens when the player leaves the gang
Shikamaru says:
(keep in mind, all NPC's may only have 10 in all of their statistics on 259)
Shikamaru says:
@question: Obviously, those NPC's would lose those benefits, or may have a reduced amount.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
pointless waste of money
Shikamaru says:
But aye.. one more thing...
Shikamaru says:
For every 5 NPC's that are in a lower rank...
Shikamaru says:
You can have 1 NPC in the rank above that.
Shikamaru says:
And therefore, that NPC, in that increased rank, would have increased statistics by, +5 or something.
Shikamaru says:
This is just a motivation to help get gangs started on 259, you see.
Shikamaru says:
The 'mass-production' item thing.. is also to help towards that goal, to help 'arm' these NPC's.
Shikamaru says:
And to perhaps have people interested in forming gangs.
Shikamaru says:
Because, honestly, right now, 259 is very dependent on its moderators.
Shikamaru says:
'Trying to create a system for them to be able to easily understand, and be able to work on with, to push them towards something.
Shikamaru says:
Namely, whatever they themselves desire.. but I digress.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
ah
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
so far everything works, main concern is keeping players from abusing NPCs
Shikamaru says:
*nods*
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
one of the reasons 552 was in the shitter was because RoB had purchased all of these NPCs
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
and could sick them out on other players at any given time
Shikamaru says:
... but then, they didn't have the 'Enforcers' like 259 or Mugen Hall..
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
enforcers are limited to campus
Shikamaru says:
Aye. But therefore, the campus is a bit of an 'anti-gang' place.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
right
Shikamaru says:
Tazers, batons, and the soon-to-be developed drugs... from all the sites..
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
yup
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
remember we need winklewood for the first major quest
Shikamaru says:
*nods* Aye, sir.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
especially when activating miss hurricane's qi
Shikamaru says:
<_<...
Shikamaru says:
Speaking of which, I need to develop his Qi..
Shikamaru says:
Er, carry on.
Shikamaru says:
*was just speaking aloud own thoughts randomly*
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
u remember what her qi is right?
Shikamaru says:
..>_>...
Shikamaru says:
Yessur.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
good
Shikamaru says:
<_<
Shikamaru says:
I hope to have my 'special drug' customized and created for Winklewood, by that time.
Shikamaru says:
..FOR Miss Hurricane's Qi.
Shikamaru says:
And Winklewood's own fighting style. ^_~
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
^_^
Shikamaru says:
Mm... when is this going to occur?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
first quest starts next wk
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i juss gotta finish the bios for my quest chars
Shikamaru says:
Gotcha.
Shikamaru says:
Alright, well, thank you for your time.
Shikamaru says:
I'll be signing off soon.. so, aye. I hope you don't mind if I post this up in the 'ideas' thread on 259.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
go for it
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
it sucks when most of the peeps on mugen aren't aware of THE GODDAMNED BATMAN's rep
Shikamaru says:
Aye...
Shikamaru says:
..Neh, actually, I was meaning to talk to you.

Shikamaru says:
Oh, and 1/4 gallon of gasoline (or however much is needed to make a decent explosion).
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i see
Shikamaru says:
Anyways...
Shikamaru says:
You pay $250 for the customization of this, to permit it to 'call people', to be 'untrackable', to 'explode on command', with different types of 'self-destruct sequences', such as instant to delayed countdown or something.
Shikamaru says:
...Then, if anyone else wants to make the exact same type of cheap item, all they have to pay is $15 or $50.
Shikamaru says:

Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
so far
Shikamaru says:
Mm...
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
it was something we were unprepared for
Shikamaru says:
I'm sorry that I'm unable to be as efficent a moderator for ya.---?
Shikamaru says:
Eh?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
it's cool, remember, real life comes first
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
sadly, ppl like THE GODDAMNED BATMAN don't realize that shit
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
SAILOR MOON's been telling me that it's been pissing her off on how THE GODDAMNED BATMAN's ignorant to that fact
Shikamaru says:
Its possible that he's one of those people.. who have no life.
Shikamaru says:
Much like myself.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
big reason THE GODDAMNED BATMAN never tried that shit on 259 is b/c the staff old and new perfectly know about him
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
THE JUGGERNAUT referred to THE GODDAMNED BATMAN as a closet whiner
Shikamaru says:
XD
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
POISON IVY referred to THE GODDAMNED BATMAN as a bitch ho
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
THE JOKER called him a virus
Shikamaru says:
Hahahahahahaha... Unfortunetely, his tactics are effective, no?
Shikamaru says:
For now, anyways
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
THE GODDAMNED BATMAN's also been cited as one of the reasons 552 went to hell
Shikamaru says:
..Seriously?
Shikamaru says:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
ALDARIS and FENIX told me for a brief while when THE GODDAMNED BATMAN left 552, the atmosphere has been kinder
Shikamaru says:
... 'Tis a pity. I'm amazed at the fact that I was alerted to this guy as early on as Arcane Academy.. and I'm sad to hear that it was.. 'temporary', aye?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
but 552's been having a lot of problems
Shikamaru says:
Aye?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
whole time, THE GODDAMNED BATMAN just added to it
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
though i am slightly ticked at BARNEY THE DINOSAUR for giving THE GODDAMNED BATMAN my msn
Shikamaru says:
XD
Shikamaru says:
It cannot be helped.
Shikamaru says:
With problems, you can only ignore them, and let them fester, or take them on, head-on
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i didn't need to listen to THE GODDAMNED BATMAN
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
sota wasn't that familiar with THE GODDAMNED BATMAN's rep either
Shikamaru says:
..Neh, it can't be helped, though.
Shikamaru says:
If you need me for anything, give me an alert on 259.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
will do
Shikamaru says:
Mm. I know its rude, though, but, would you mind if I bounced the last 2 ideas on you?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
go for it
Shikamaru says:
Or, would you rather discuss something about MH? I understand you have priorities, after all, more then I do.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
go ahead
Shikamaru says:
Alright... well... I was thinking about how to make Charisma/Intelligence more useful.
Shikamaru says:
Gangs came to mind.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
ok
Shikamaru says:
And... the thought of 'buying' territories and 'having' about 10 starting-off NPC's for that territory
Shikamaru says:
Such as a 'dock', a 'junkyard', a specific 'district', an 'alley'
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
eh, not too keen on that one, i rather have ppl fight for it
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
or find some other ways of taking over w/out resorting to money earned by post count, etc
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
when i was in nocturne, i was in charge of the gang's recruitment and cash flow
Shikamaru says:
Aye?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i got irl political, business, and journalistic exp
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i applied it
Shikamaru says:
Go on.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
instead of using nocturne's funds, we used other ppl money which is an important business rule
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
IC, bought up property etc such and turned them into fight clubs
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
karel got pissed b/c he don't know shit about american let alone nyc
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
in america, money talks
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
what u know is important, but it's more of who you know
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
sadly, america is no meritocracy
Shikamaru says:
*nods*...
Shikamaru says:
Neh, but, the idea I had in mind is more like... 'to get better training facilities', and that sort of thing.
Shikamaru says:
Or, I dunno.
Shikamaru says:
Mm.. if I had it planned out... and all typed down, yeah.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
philadelphia's large, make them find their own damn territory
Shikamaru says:
XD
Shikamaru says:
Well, the initial 'purchase' so to speak, would be to 'raise reputation' in afore-said, territory
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
eh, it would make things too easy
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i rather have them do their research
Shikamaru says:
Alright.
Shikamaru says:
But, let's say we're talking about 259 here.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
SoCal is large too
Shikamaru says:
I know.
Shikamaru says:
I live there.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
IC, i already know who to reach
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
depending on the gang ideas and who u want to reach out depends on your ethics
Shikamaru says:
Mm.. alright then.
Shikamaru says:
I agree, it does make it easier, however...
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
depends on who u target
Shikamaru says:
..But that's part of the reason why I want to do it. But, admittedly, that may be 'too' easy, as you say.. I may just bounce it around a bit more, though.
Shikamaru says:
Aye.
Shikamaru says:
My last idea.. has to do with pets, though.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
pets can be treated in the same manner as npcs
Shikamaru says:
*nods*
Shikamaru says:
But, depending on how much you pay and/or 'customize' it, I originally thought of the possibility of having it possible to help you in attacking things, when not on school grounds, but, with a strict limitation on its statistics, from 5-10 each.
Shikamaru says:
And/or, just purchased for flair/NPCing, or whatnot, though, you can negate this by starting out with such a pet.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
eh, not to keen on that
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
b/c celeste used her dog to metagame a lot
Shikamaru says:
Aye, I've heard of that too.
Shikamaru says:
Hence...
Shikamaru says:
But, then, it had 'fucking amazing' statistics.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
plus players would possibly abuse that possible loophole
Shikamaru says:
Which loophole?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
npcs
Shikamaru says:
Ah.
Shikamaru says:
Neh...
Shikamaru says:
I'm going to return to a previous idea.
Shikamaru says:
The gangs
Shikamaru says:
Forget what I mentioned about the territories.
Shikamaru says:
Let's say we were to stick strictly to 'gang NPC's', 'cash', 'intelligence', & 'charisma'.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i don't want ppl buying gang npcs
Shikamaru says:
Such as... every gang starts out with 10 people.. but, you need to have a certain amount of statistics
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
that led to a major problem on 552
Shikamaru says:
--no, I'm not talking about 'buying' NPC's. Just the starting ones.
Shikamaru says:
The first 10.
Shikamaru says:
The only way to add to this would be to increase your own statistics to add your own statistical NPC's naturally from your own character growth.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
how i have it, the combined char constitutes to allocution of npcs
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
players part of a gang have the choice to allocute their NPCs to the leader
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
if and when that player leaves, the gang loses those NPCs
Shikamaru says:
I see... that's not too bad.
Shikamaru says:
Mm.. pending on NPC rank, is it possible for them to grow in statistics? If only by 'rank'?
Shikamaru says:
Lemme give an example
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
nah, don't want them doing that
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
soke and i talked, each npc gets 95 points
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
that can be allocuted to stats, etc
Shikamaru says:
Leader (PC), Secondary Leader(s) (PC), Third Rank (NPC/PC), Fourth Rank (NPC/PC), Fifth Rank (NPC/PC).
Shikamaru says:
Ahh...
Shikamaru says:
Mm... you want me to go on, or you're already firm with your idea? (plz, keep in mind, I'm not talking about JUST MH here.. I'm also talking about 259).
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
keep going
Shikamaru says:
Well, so to speak, with 259's current rules, characters can only attain up to 2 NPC's in their entire time there (Leon's fear of 552 incidents occuring on 259.. hence my modified version that he adopted on 259, that I worked with him on)
Shikamaru says:
But, with the 'obtaining/purchasing 5-10' NPC's, and maybe an adoption of the 'allocating other character NPC's' to a gang..
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
up to the player if s/he wants to allocute them or not
Shikamaru says:
As well as adopting 552's 'badge/mark/symbol' statistic booster, which SHOULD be different for each gang, pending on their orientation..
Shikamaru says:
*nods aye to that*
Shikamaru says:
Well... my run-on thoughts aside, I was thinking of perhaps, for $1000, all Gang NPC's could have their statistics increased by 1
Shikamaru says:
And..
Shikamaru says:
The badge/symbol/mark benefits would apply to all the NPC's thar
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
could work, but what happens when the player leaves the gang
Shikamaru says:
(keep in mind, all NPC's may only have 10 in all of their statistics on 259)
Shikamaru says:
@question: Obviously, those NPC's would lose those benefits, or may have a reduced amount.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
pointless waste of money
Shikamaru says:
But aye.. one more thing...
Shikamaru says:
For every 5 NPC's that are in a lower rank...
Shikamaru says:
You can have 1 NPC in the rank above that.
Shikamaru says:
And therefore, that NPC, in that increased rank, would have increased statistics by, +5 or something.
Shikamaru says:
This is just a motivation to help get gangs started on 259, you see.
Shikamaru says:
The 'mass-production' item thing.. is also to help towards that goal, to help 'arm' these NPC's.
Shikamaru says:
And to perhaps have people interested in forming gangs.
Shikamaru says:
Because, honestly, right now, 259 is very dependent on its moderators.
Shikamaru says:
'Trying to create a system for them to be able to easily understand, and be able to work on with, to push them towards something.
Shikamaru says:
Namely, whatever they themselves desire.. but I digress.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
ah
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
so far everything works, main concern is keeping players from abusing NPCs
Shikamaru says:
*nods*
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
one of the reasons 552 was in the shitter was because RoB had purchased all of these NPCs
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
and could sick them out on other players at any given time
Shikamaru says:
... but then, they didn't have the 'Enforcers' like 259 or Mugen Hall..
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
enforcers are limited to campus
Shikamaru says:
Aye. But therefore, the campus is a bit of an 'anti-gang' place.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
right
Shikamaru says:
Tazers, batons, and the soon-to-be developed drugs... from all the sites..
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
yup
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
remember we need winklewood for the first major quest
Shikamaru says:
*nods* Aye, sir.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
especially when activating miss hurricane's qi
Shikamaru says:
<_<...
Shikamaru says:
Speaking of which, I need to develop his Qi..
Shikamaru says:
Er, carry on.
Shikamaru says:
*was just speaking aloud own thoughts randomly*
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
u remember what her qi is right?
Shikamaru says:
..>_>...
Shikamaru says:
Yessur.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
good
Shikamaru says:
<_<
Shikamaru says:
I hope to have my 'special drug' customized and created for Winklewood, by that time.
Shikamaru says:
..FOR Miss Hurricane's Qi.
Shikamaru says:
And Winklewood's own fighting style. ^_~
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
^_^
Shikamaru says:
Mm... when is this going to occur?
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
first quest starts next wk
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
i juss gotta finish the bios for my quest chars
Shikamaru says:
Gotcha.
Shikamaru says:
Alright, well, thank you for your time.
Shikamaru says:
I'll be signing off soon.. so, aye. I hope you don't mind if I post this up in the 'ideas' thread on 259.
Once You Go Asian, You'll Never Go Caucasian ^_~ says:
go for it
