"Playlist in a Bottle"

Much better.

Nope, it was splinter. Got it almost right away.

Based on this individual sample case, I suspect game nerds are way better than regular people at riddles.

I stand by my statistical sampling method.

T'was in the forest when I got it,
So I sat me down to find it,
I could not find it no matter how long I looked,
So I took it home with me.

What was it?

Note: Baldur's Gate 2 players keep quiet.

I assume 'swim' is an invalid answer in this scenario?

@esher said in The riddle cave:

So, an (maybe) easy one ^^
Avalon is a squared island (please don't try to find logic !! ) surrounded by a 4 meters wide (or width, don't know ><) river. We have two planks of 3,90 meters long ans some centimeters large.
How coud you reach the island with your two planks ?

Here a little picture to help you (I warn, don't ask if Avalon is really a tiny island ! I can't do a huge island on my workspace )

I'm jumping to some very stereotyped conclusions based on very little information here. I don't really know anything about you or your situation, so I apologize in advance if I've got the wrong idea or have misjudged the situation. If I do get it wrong, I beg forgiveness on grounds that my mistake is grounded in ignorance.

I am assuming that this is a lady that you already know reasonably well, are not in a professional relationship with, and are not currently in a romantic relationship with. But that you would like to be in a romantic relationship with said lady.

If that is the scenario, then I'd go with something like: Hey, I wanted to talk to you about something. I like you. Would you like to go on a date with me sometime?

Embrace the emotional vulnerability of talking about your feelings simply, honestly and directly.

Doing so is actually a win/win scenario. A 'yes' is good, obviously. But even a 'no' is good, because at that point you know to emotionally disinvest and get on with your life, which leaves you smarter and better off than you were before. And I can't think of a single one of my friends-who-are-also-ladies that would respect a man less just because he communicated his feelings clearly and politely.

Hidden messages are for scavenger hunts, not relationships. Stop overthinking things and just do it.

If you ignore this and go with the playlist idea: FFS don't use the transformers reference. I've been a transformers fan since I was a kid in the 80's and even I wouldn't have picked up on what you were getting at.

Again: Apologies if I have misconstrued the situation.

We must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Any thoughts around demon summoning?

For example, an evil human can cast a summoning spell that will teleport in a PC demon. A demon can be mentioned by name, or can be left unnamed and mentioned only by race. The PC can opt in or out. Unnamed will jump around online demon players until someone decides to opt in.

The demon comes in and can fight for or trade with the summoner. If the demon does something illegal while under the 'control' of the human, the human carries all the legal penalties for the action as per normal Sundesian law.

The demon can opt to teleport back to Tartaros whenever they feel like it.

The human has a banish ability to try and force the demon back to Tartaros whenever the human likes it, but the demon has a chance to resist banishment based on stats and abilities.

The summoning ability has a duration, at the end of which the banish effect will automatically trigger. The human has the option to trigger the banish effect early if desired.

So long as the human doesn't banish the demon and the demon stays within proximity of the summoner, the demon gets to remain in Syndesia without the normal penalties. But once banishment happens the summoning effect ends, and if the demon resists then they begin to suffer the normal penalties.

I plan to main a hellfire demon, and a mechanic like this would be really neat. Probably not something that I'd expect to be ready on launch, but something I'd like to see eventually given how many of the pieces of the puzzle are already in play.

Welcome!

I'm also excited for this game.

I may or may not be crazy, but that is an independent correlation with my enthusiasm for the game.

Does 'porting offworld to kill a bunch of people and take all their stuff count?

That's a raider, not a pirate. Pirates needs ships.

Duly noted.

Thanks!

Welcome!

And thanks for planning to provide players like me with content.

::rubs hands together with anticipatory glee::

Thanks.

So weird. I swear I searched the forums for that. Must have typo'd or something.

Is the plan to have one massive server, like EVE Online?

Or is the plan to have lots of realm servers, like WoW?

Or is it too soon to say?

Does 'porting offworld to kill a bunch of people and take all their stuff count?

If so: Yes. Somehow, I predict that might be a thing that at least one unscrupulous and deplorable individual might be considering.

Hey all. Stumbled on this game and site entirely by accident today.

Happy accident too! Looks interesting. I already like player-driven trirealm combat. But the idea of using racial and realm types to split out the PvP, PvE, and mixed players into their own environments is really clever.

Looking forward to this game coming out.

Normally I prefer PvE or mixed. But something about the setting so far is making me very keen to try raiding and pillaging the hairless monkeys and the carebears.

Will see how it goes in implementation. Looking forward to it.

"Some demons are neutral"

I normally tend towards PvE crafting/gathering roles. But for some reason this game has me all eager to go pillage and plunder the hairless monkeys and the carebears.

I usually tend towards PvE, focusing on resource gathering and crafting. But that's normally because I lack the time to grind my way up to being competitive in PvP.

If entry-level players really can be competitive in PvP as advertised, then that means that for Fractured I'll probably give demons a go first. It's completely against the grain of how I normally approach an MMO... I think EVE has possibly toughened me up a bit: I really want to go pillage and plunder the humans and carebears in this setting.

Hmmm. Content.

It will all depend on implementation though. Too soon to say.
