Off Topic / How much do you connect anger and frustration with malice?

« on: February 25, 2016, 03:34:59 AM »

Just wondering. My fiancée is going through some tough times. She has reason to be upset be people that really threw her under the bus and are really just unpleasant people—what's more, she has to live with them. I know that she has the capacity to be a very loving and caring person, but she gets angry sometimes (as we all do) and often connects this with wanting to do harm to those that cause her pain.

So I ask, as the question is stated in the title. If you feel the need to express it numerically, use a 1-10 scale, 1 being almost abstractly disassociated, and 10 being directly correlated, if not excessively involved.

Off Topic / Dynamic Image Hosting

« on: February 02, 2016, 01:51:09 AM »

Hey, so I'm working to update the map on this forum game here and I want to make it so there is a place where I (and other image editors) can simply upload the new map, and it overwrites the image file linked by the url. This way, retrieving the URL and me having to edit the OP every time the map edits does not have to happen.

Does anyone know of any services that provide this?

Thanks.

R U L E S
I want this game to be fun for everyone. So please don't be that person who ruins it for everyone.

1. No Omnipotence No powergaming or fabricating ludicrous numbers and statistics out of nowhere. Remain scientifically relevant to the time.
2. No Omniscience No metagaming. Usually I am lenient on this, but this is the traditional style so it just goes.
3. Substitution No substitute roleplaying as anyone else unless authorized.
- A. Owner Sovereignty The owner of a nation is always more sovereign than any substitute.
- B. Substitution & Stasis A player may not go inactive for more than 7 days without declaring a stasis. Stasis will automatically be declared after the 7^th day. Any player substituting for the owner is then ejected from control of that nation until the owner returns.
- C. Disciplinary Restriction If any player is undergoing or has undergone any disciplinary action, they may not be allowed to substitute or authorize a substitution.
- D. Exchange Limit Substitution is strictly a two-way exchange. Each player can either substitute or be substituted. One player can't control a conglomerate of multiple nations.
- E. Inactivity Declaration Substitution and stasis must be declared publicly, and must last at minimum of three days. Continual usage of this for convenience in order to dodge Rule 9 will result in disciplinary action.
4. Loss & Resignation If you lose or resign, you may start a new nation as long as you were not involved in any serious disciplinary issues.
5. Inheritance Limit For the sake of fairness, if players want to hand off assets to a player when resigning, the max that can be gained is 10%.
- A. Frequency Limit Players can only donate their assets upon resignation twice. Once the player loses or resigns, they lose an opportunity to pass their assets on.
- B. Disciplinary Restriction Players under disciplinary measures cannot donate land.
- C. Neighbor Rule Territory can only be gained if the land is either adjacent or can be connected over sea routes.
6. Be Original Please be creative and name your nation, its concepts (religions/ideas), and its constituents(people) originally.
7. Map Limit No expansion beyond the map borders. I may have external powers out there in the future, but for now, it's just a small-scale project.
8. Quiet, Please! Do not OOCly argue in the thread. Take it to any external source. Just don't litter the thread with an unpleasant argument.
9. Mergers & Acquisitions Do not try to merge nations. Nations can be vassalized. Any form of a supra-sovereign organization that can be used to bypass rules 3, 5 and 9 is prohibited.
10. No Infallibility A player's rule is not absolute to decide the events that occur within the nation. For instance, raising taxes to fill government coffers and saying that the people are okay with it will be viewed critically.
- A. Secret Actions Secret actions, with any holes in their design, are not immune to leaks.
- B. Government/People Control Actions in general are subject to critical review. You act as the de jure government. The greater your influence over the people, the more you can

Off Topic / What do the seemingly arbitrary emotes mean?

Help / Authentication Dropping

« on: December 18, 2015, 01:21:40 PM »

Today it has seemed to happen, but my Blockland is dropping authentication a lot. I don't know what it is, but it ranges from every few minutes to every few seconds. It's doing the same thing on multiple keys.

Suggestions & Requests / [EVENT] :: "" » Vehicle » addRelativeVelocity/Rotation

« on: December 16, 2015, 12:14:20 PM »

We have it for players, so perhaps there could be one for vehicles, hm?

addRelativeVelocity :: Adds defined forces to current forces acting on the vehicle. (Basically what we have for players & bots)
Output parameters [X] [Y] [Z]

addRelativeRotation :: Adds defined rotation to current rotation of a vehicle, measured in degrees. For instance, if the roll was 60°, then if you add 10°, it makes 70°.
Output parameters [roll] [pitch] [yaw] (re-order the Euler angles to fit roll-pitch-yaw to x-y-z ordering within Blockland)

I'm wondering because this could make the possibility of drones easier, and also make more interactive target practice.

Add-Ons / Theía Dóry — The Divine Spear

Greek for "Divine Spear"

An edit for the spear. You throw the spear and it produces a large electrical explosion at the point of contact.

Off Topic / Why do some names have italics in the player list when most don't?

« on: December 01, 2015, 12:03:38 AM »

Title

Aaaand here are the pictures:

Here's one I took a few minutes ago. I know that SMF allows for users that have different positions or permissions on the forums to have different formatting in the player list. This one contains both Rotondo and tails for comparison.

Here's the second one that I took earlier today that has the user Gaz in it with the italics name. Any ideas, guys? Is it happenstance or is there some illumnati bullstuff going on here?

Forum Games / Tributary — Afternoon, Day 7

WHAT IS TRIBUTARY?

Tributary is hybrid RP(G) where every person plays as their own character, competing or cooperating with other players at the dawn of the Bronze Age and some millennia after an ice age. A number of people have recently migrated through thick, icy mountains to arrive at a glacial rift valley, an oasis of life created by receding glaciers. Characters are permitted freely to create their own tribes and factions and settle down where they want, however, only if dangerous wildlife or hostile people allow you to.

THE MAP
The longest stretch of space from one end of the valley to another is about 13 miles.

TIME & WEATHER

Day 6, Early Summer

This early summer night, the sky contains only a few sparse clouds and dancing lights. The weather is warm, and today is the Summer Solstice.

3 irl day = 1 sim day, where the cycle is Morning, Afternoon, Night, and repeat.
but also
2 irl weeks = 1 sim season

(Simulated days are mandated so that RP would not be over-accelerated, but seasons are kept moving so that it wouldn't take literally 6 months to change seasons.)

During the middle of each season:
Spring — Sunrise: 6am, Sunset: 6pm
Summer — Sunrise: 2am, Sunset: 10pm
Autumn — Sunrise: 6am, Sunset: 6pm
Winter — Sunrise: 10am, Sunset: 2pm

HOW DO YOU PLAY ?

1.	Fill out the following application (Areas with an asterisk* are required. You may deviate from this application or format it how you wish so long as the required information is listed. If you are accepted, you may alter this freely to your preferred format.):
	Code: [Select] `Name: [name] love: [male/female] Skills: (assign 5 points) • Gathering: [split skill 1] • Crafting: [split skill 2] • Harvesting: [split skill 3] • Fighting (Hunting/Combat): [split skill 4*] Personality: [personality] Group: [faction/tribe] Physical Appearance: [physical appearance (picture and/or description)]`
2.	If/when accepted, choose where you start. If your highest stat is Gathering, you get a Stone Axe. If your highest stat is Crafting, you get a Wooden Mallet. If your highest stat is Harvesting, you get a Flint Scythe. If your highest stat is Fighting, you get a Flint Knife. If you have evenly-matched stats, choose ONE tool or weapon from among those four. Other than the geography of the land, you know nothing else except for what you discover yourselves. You will discover all kinds of plants or animals that could either help you or kill you. I (or anyone who may join to moderate, if it comes to that point) will be sworn not to participate as competitive players since this would give us an unfair advantage.
3.	Survive. Only time will tell what is the best method for doing this. A tested and true method is generally "the more the merrier."

RULES

Do not powergame, ass-pull or metagame.
You can form tribes if you wish, though the tribe has a system in which the players decide who leads, who does what, etc. Moderators are not permitted to intervene.
Rules can be added or removed, and you will be notified when a change is made.
Do not leave the area via the impassible mountains, glaciers, or the rivers. It will be RP'd that you die in a hostile environment if you do. (Added 11/23 @ 11:48 PM, PST)
If given the opportunity to name something, name it appropriately, please. Do not name something after something in real life, such as "Americaland" or "Blocklanders." (Added 11/23 @ 11:50 PM, PST)
You can only play as a human. (Added 11/24 @ 5:00 PM PST)
If you do not act as your player, your player will act as if idling about. If you wish to go on a hiatus, you must have a tent pitched in a safe location and you must rest there. (Added 11/26 @ 10:45 PM PST)
Stasis must be requested in advance, and will not be retroactively applied as of any incident occurring before the time this rule was created at December 1, 2015, at 12:26 am PST. Do not use stasis as a means to simply escape danger. This will incur a harsh karmic penalty or a ban.
If you go inactive, you will continue your current task for one time segment, then go idle. (Added 12/07)

THE SYSTEM

Death: When you die, it's not permanent, but you will be put out of commission for 3 days irl. After this time expires, you will respawn back at your tribe's main tent (if you are a part of a tribe that has one) or at a random point in the wilderness.
Character Conditions: If your character has some kind of condition, such as bleeding, poisoning, sickness, etc., the conditions and the ailments will be described.
Hunger & Thirst: Your hunger will naturally drop by 50 every day Your thirst will naturally drop by 100 every day.
Skill Levels: Your skills will be raised based on the amount of work that you do. Once you get to level 5 in a skill, you can specialize, allowing you to add an additional free skill point in an area of your choice. Max level is 25. If you die, and your karma strips you of skill points, you will be more likely to retain your last area of specialization, and level points in this area will have a higher chance of being spared. As you get better at your skill, you will be capable of more things. To see the full specialization tree, click HERE. The center, unspecialized line requires you to meet the level requirements in all of the skill categories.
Karma: Okay, this part is important. Everyone starts with 0 karma with every life. This ranges from -100 to 100. If you conduct yourself well, your karma will raise; if you conduct yourself with disgrace and dishonor, your karma will suffer. Once you die, karma decides how much you will be able to retain when you respawn. Spawnkilling will destroy your karma; do not do it.
Flora & Fauna: The flora and fauna of this valley are not known yet. As you discover things, you will learn how to identify things and find out what they do.
Political: You as the player are free to create whatever system you want in the game. Players may or may not agree with you, but that's the fun of it. Create alliances, conduct trade, make enemies and go to war, all of this is up to the player to choose.
Culture: In your societies, developing a culture may help to aid your group in solidifying it, as well as potentially manipulating the group's karma.
Reproduction: I have not thought this one out yet entirely, but perhaps you would like to suggest something?
