Log of OOC Meeting - 12/7/19

Posted: Sat Dec 07, 2019 5:04 pm
by Moonlight
Kinaed states, "A reminder of the OOC Chat Pact: Regardless of what we discuss, we understand and truly believe that everyone on TI does the best they can, given what they know at the time, their skills and abilities, the resources available, and the situation at hand. We will be respectful of this and each other at all times."

Kinaed says, "Today's Agenda is:

   - Staff Updates

   - Player Heartbeat

   - Player Topics

Is there anything anyone would like to add to the agenda to make certain we discuss it today? If you register a topic, please pre-write it so you're ready to present it when called upon."

LemonQuartz is poked. :)

say Of course! No trouble at all :)

Lunette exclaims, "Of course! No trouble at all :)"

Kinaed smiles at Lunette.

Kinaed questions, "Anyone have any topics to register?"

Kinaed states, "Okay, I'll take the grasshopper chirping as not yet. If anyone comes up with one, just send me a tell."

Flower nods at Kinaed.

Kinaed states, "Kicking off today's agenda - Last week I was at a work conference, this week I still have Turf Wars on my desk (sorry!) and I'll probably be away a lot this week too - Christmas is coming, and everything is super busy."

Kinaed has transferred Radiune.  [OOC]

Kinaed has transferred Satoshi.  [OOC]

Temi gives a bright, cherry-red lollipop shaped as a female inquisitor to Radiune.

Temi gives a bright, cherry-red lollipop shaped as a female inquisitor to Satoshi.

Kinaed says to Temi, "You're up :)"

Lans says, "I can scribe."

Francesca claims to Lans, "Lunette's doing it."

Temi claims, "I've been pretty busy with work this week trying to get some stuff done before I'm gone for the holidays"

Lans states, "Oh? Oh."

say I'm already doing it. Sorry!

Lunette exclaims, "I'm already doing it. Sorry!"

Kinaed states to Lans, "Thank you - Lunette is doing it, but a backup wouldn't hurt in case something happens."

Lans nods.

Temi says, "But also doing some plots and requests and such."

Kinaed nods at Temi.

Temi states, "No big updates, though."

Kinaed states to Temi, "Thank you for keeping up with them."

Kinaed claims to Niamh, "You're up :)"

Niamh claims, "This was a clean-up and demony-type week! Went through areas and cleared out vnums that were no longer being used or of any historical significance because I'm weird and area tidiness has become a borderline obsessive need. Ran a couple demon scenes for folks and subsequently got to harangue people on the wherelist as a demon, which is always fun. I'd like to put a reminder out there for folks to do their milestones from the typos board - they're only up for two weeks, and we really like to have something we can add to the game to commemorate you. Lore is completely fine if you can't think of something; there'll almost always be another milestone for something more involved if you can't think of it this time."

Kinaed says to Niamh, "Thank you :)"

Kitty Guilty. Thinking. Sorry.

Niamh salutes.

Kinaed has transferred ToffeeApples.  [OOC]

Temi gives a bright, cherry-red lollipop shaped as a female inquisitor to ToffeeApples.

Kinaed says, "If people don't want to take advantage of the 500 hour milestones, that's also fine."

Niamh comforts Kitty.

Niamh states, "Yes, don't feel guilty about it. Not at all what I mean."

Kinaed states, "We just like to build our players into the history and fabric of the game."

Satoshi queries, "So you can only use nilestones for two weeks after getting them?"

Kitty says, "Totally do! It's just... hard."

Kinaed smiles.

Kinaed nods at Niamh.

ToffeeApples says, "I want to. I've just no idea for one yet"

Kinaed comforts Kitty.

Kinaed comforts ToffeeApples.

Satoshi has had two and no idea what to do with them

Civetta states, "I hit my thousand and I have noooo ideas"

Kinaed states, "Okay I think that may actually be it for staff updates. Anyone have any questions for staff? I'm not seeing anything that's progressed in the programming world beyond bug fix."

LemonQuartz knows what he wants, just has to get to 500 hours >_<

Kinaed comforts Civetta.

Kinaed grins at LemonQuartz.

Kinaed nods at LemonQuartz.

Satoshi says, "I had some idea but i didnt know there was a time limit to use them, my bad"

ToffeeApples says, "There"

Kinaed smiles.

ToffeeApples queries, "Theres a time limit?"

Kinaed claims, "Two weeks, yes"

Niamh says, "They get bumped after one week and removed after two."

Niamh nods.

Lans claims, "An update of some sort on the civil war, even a brief and vague one, would be welcomed."

Kinaed nods at Niamh.

Kinaed nods at Lans.

Niamh claims, "Sometimes I miss the bumping, so I usually time it a week after the bump."

Temi states, "Sorry, yeah, I meant to do one of those."

ToffeeApples says, "Shit I think I'm already done then"

Satoshi asks, "Maybe put that in the helpfile? i didnt know they vanished if you dont use them"

Niamh says, "It's in the note, but we can put it in the helpfile too."

Satoshi says, "It implies theyre sort of a resource and only the NOTE is deleted"

Satoshi states, "Or at least thats how i read it :( "

Kinaed says to ToffeeApples, "We might be nice and let you slip one in. Really, people can submit lore at any time, it's just that we don't really follow up on milestones after the two week period for our own sanity."

Temi claims, "It's just a lot for us to track if people decide to save and stack them up, and we're not able to keep up with that."

Venamelia questions, "Would probably be better. People are probably more likely to look at the helpfile, or am I wrong on that assumption?"

Kinaed says, "Otherwise it starts to feel like we're chasing people, and that's unpleasant all around."

Temi states, "I'm also not happy with us getting into a state of 'you owe me three memorials' and us having no way to track that"

Kinaed nods at Temi.

Kinaed claims, "But people can submit lore anytime they want to on the Typo board from the room they want to put it in, whether it relates to them or not :)"

Temi nods.

Satoshi questions, "That's fair. so i guess if the note's gone you just gotta play another 500 hours?"

Temi says, "Yeah, we're always happy to accept lore for the good of the game, with a different focus than being specifically 'for' commemorating your RP"

Kinaed claims, "And memorials generally take the form of lore. About 95 percent of them unless something really thematic and appropriate is around."

Kitty claims, "They said they might slip it in there, they just don't follow up."

Kinaed nods at Temi.

Kinaed nods at Kitty.

Kinaed states, "Okay, if that's everything for staff updates... firstly, thank you for your efforts this week, Team. Your time is appreciated, and you guys are awesome."

Niamh highfives Kinaed. 

Kinaed grins.

Kinaed hugs Niamh. 

Niamh grins.

Satoshi claps!

Brando nods

Kinaed questions, "Okay, now to where our interest truly lies... Players! Yay! Let's do our heartbeat - how was the game last week for you, everyone?"

Kitty claims, "Buuuuuuusy."

say It felt pretty lively!

Lunette pontificates, "It felt pretty lively!"

Kinaed claims, "We seem to have had a population surge. That's pretty wonderful."

Kinaed nods at Kitty.

LemonQuartz pontificates, "It was good to get back into RP. Looking forward to having more scenes with you all!"

Kalana says, "A little slower for me, but that's more my RL fault.  I've still felt able to get involved with people when I have time"

Kinaed says to Lunette, "Glad to hear it :)"

Metzuzelah states, "Pretty good, really! Loved Sibylle's retirement event, got a chance for my dude to rub shoulders with other folk, and the keyplayers of the city.I, unfortunately did not get harangued by the good Niamh as a demon. "

Kinaed beams at LemonQuartz. 

Kinaed nods at Metzuzelah.

Venamelia says, "Been frustrated on my first char. Too much information that feels obscured and I felt like I was running after people too much. So been taking a break from that and focusing on this one. Been enjoying my time a lot on this one."

Niamh trails off, "Did I throw poop at you via demon y/n, if y week was great?..."

Kinaed comforts Venamelia.

Kitty questions, "The demon tried to throw stuff at me - but it wasn't this week. Does that count?"

Kinaed muses to Venamelia, "Is that something anyone can help with?"

LemonQuartz claims to Niamh, "That one is my favorite. "

Kinaed claims to Kitty, "If you still have a happy glow from it (or an unhappy one), I'm keen to hear :)"

Sparkles states, "I had some good scenes, seeing lots of new people which is always nice."

Temi says, "Some play styles are more fun for some than others.  I know some people enjoy hunting down info"

Kinaed claims to Sparkles, "I'm glad to hear that :)"

Metzuzelah nods at Temi 

Kinaed nods at Temi.

Niamh says to Kitty, "I wanna say yes."

Metzuzelah exclaims, "The library is a great source of 'common' knowledge, and somke somewhat obscure events in the past!"

Kinaed claims, "Yeah, I've made characters that just didn't 'click' with what I wanted out of the experience OOCly, even though they were awesome."

Francesca says, "I've been having a good week myself! I met some new people, had some nice scenes."

Satoshi claims, "Been not feeling the best lately but trying to get back into play"

Kinaed claims to Francesca, "I'm glad to hear that. :)"

Kinaed comforts Satoshi.

Satoshi claims, "Feeling hard to get back into it, everyone is off in their own corner usually"

Kinaed questions to Satoshi, "Anything we can help with, or just horses for courses?"

Brando states, "RP and play was minimal for me. It is Xmass time and I am broke lol sigh. I also have new Dr and new Case manager for my mental health ... and thats not been fun and has taken some of my time this week. :("

Niamh comforts Brando.

Kinaed comforts Brando.

Kinaed states to Brando, "I hope that lets up and you feel better."

Satoshi shakes old man fist. "only come out where i can see you"

Kitty has been in public this week with more than one character.

Kinaed smiles.

Francesca has been a bad girl and hiding in the guildhall again.

Kinaed muses to Kitty, "Was it good, bad or indifferent?"

Mibs says, "I've been doing good the past few days, but really I just find it a bit tricky to find my stride sometimes."

Kinaed comforts Francesca.

Kinaed nods at Mibs.

Satoshi claims, "Or like hint me down on where. last night j wasnt feeling social and was in MAJOR mage places with where on. disappointed the knight didnt swoop in"

Civetta claims, "Things were super great this week. Speaking of hunting down info fell into a fun mystery. Lots of new people giving us lots to do. Haven't had to do much hunting for RP."

Kinaed states to Mibs, "If I'm honest, I've been feeling that way lately too."

Kinaed states, "Just so much going on in my world, I can't juggle everything :)"

Flower states, "I am trying to get back into it.."

Kitty states, "The public RP? It was fine, when I had time. Work was also busy this week."

Niamh cheers at Civetta. 

Kinaed claims, "Balls being dropped everywhere - so if someone is looking for something from me or waiting and I haven't gotten back to you - please accept my apologies in advance."

Satoshi claims, "Its also between US holidays so everyone is busy i think"

ToffeeApples claims, "Pretty meh overall Didn't like how my plot developed, didn't feel had many options with the assignment. Also away from home and not had alot of time to work on it"

Gattara sneezes loudly.

Niamh states to Gattara, "Dav bless."

Radiune says, "And those of us in college are likely prepping for finals."

Kinaed comforts ToffeeApples.

Francesca claims, "RIP to all of our college people. I'm so sorry."

Satoshi pats Toffee

Kinaed wonders to ToffeeApples, "Anything anyone can do to help, or is that just a 'way this cookie crumbled, the next one will be better' kind of thing?"

Kinaed nods at Radiune.

Satoshi states, "Unsure if you mean your RP lately or an sctual plot"

Kinaed claims, "It's good to see our pbase surge again as people find time. :)"

ToffeeApples states, "I don't know"

Kinaed nods at ToffeeApples.

Venamelia states, "Yep. Been finding a lot of people to RP with."

Lans says, "I've been good. Looking forward to catching one of you folks and put you out of your suffering."

Satoshi claims, "I've been meaning to follow up on my end but its hard when my character's reaction is "avoid trouble""

Flower says, "Me, me."

Gattara grins at Niamh.

LemonQuartz states to Lans, "Rude. "

Kinaed nods at Satoshi.

LemonQuartz jests. 

Lans does not.

Kinaed smiles.

Satoshi waves to Lans excitedly from forbidden places

Niamh says, "It's for your own good, guys. The fire is a -kindness.-"

Kinaed questions, "Okay, is anything actively shitting anyone that they want staff to be aware of?"

Metzuzelah states, "Also my guy got threatened to get shanked, hanged, and eviscerated by different folk this week, so I take that asa sign that i'm doing well."

Niamh laughs.

Satoshi declaims, "Nice!"

Temi grins.

Radiune states, "We love a good shanking."

Temi claims, "Always a great sign for causing RP"

Kinaed states to Metzuzelah, "I'm impressed."

Satoshi says, "And poisoned, too, though that only counts to your face, i guess"

Mibs says, "Huh. I must not be doing well enough."

Kinaed states to Metzuzelah, "I hope you enjoy that, and we appreciate your doing things to make the world interesting for others."

Temi pontificates, "There are other signs too, of course!  Some of them may be less 'to your face'"

Kinaed nods at Temi.

Sparkles says, "I'm always happy to threaten to stab more people if people feel they are missing out somehow."

Kinaed grins at Sparkles.

say Me!

Lunette declaims, "Me!"

Kinaed claims to Sparkles, "We appreciate your willingness to sacrifice."

Lans says, "I can cleave someone if they confess to magery. Suicide-by-Knight."

Niamh snickers.

Sparkles says, "It's damascus, only the best quality shanking here."

Kinaed declaims, "If no one has anything specific they want to raise outside of Player Topics - we actually have a player topic this week!"

Kinaed muses to Brando, "Won't you introduce us to your topic?"

Lans says, "I've nothing. You're all lovely meat bags."

LemonQuartz states, "If anyone needs or wants to be beat down, i am always willing :)"

Radiune finishes abruptly, "B-but.. to knowingly cleave a mage would be heresy! They have pyromatic immunity! Gotta send them DTP - direct to pyre"

Brando claims, "I looked at a cooking task 151  ... andf it said i required a knife hi.. wa. on m. .eft ... a. th. t...] .. t... . h.d a ..... f.r. .nd ....d .. ...k th.t ..e. ... t.at ......! I hav. l.g... tha. .n. ..l. ..st .. .. t.. .y.. b.a.. ..."

Radiune asks, "Eh?"

Lans says, "... Oh dear."

Kinaed says to Brando, "Sounds good, thanks :)"

say Stage fright?

Lunette wonders, "Stage fright?"

Satoshi wonders, "Was that a... whisper?"

LemonQuartz says, "Magery."

Kinaed muses to Brando, "Was that the topic?"

Temi questions, "Worn items should work for tools, I think?"

Kinaed claims, "I think he tried to cook his tool."

Kinaed cocks her head and works through that sentence.

Satoshi claims, "That did not go through for most of us, could not hear it"

LemonQuartz claims to Kinaed, "Someone may be into that. "

Brando states, "LOL Kinaed."

Niamh skips off to the funny quotes thread.

Metzuzelah states, "..."

Temi declares, "151 uses the knife as a tool, shouldn't use it up... if it does, that's a problem!"

Kinaed says to LemonQuartz, "Someone is into everything. Fact."

Kinaed nods at Temi.

LemonQuartz asks, "Rule 51 of the internet?"

Sparkles says, "Might want to repost that for the log."

Kinaed claims, "Nestor, if you raise a typo board, we'll resolve it. Thank you for reporting the issue."

Kinaed nods at LemonQuartz.

Brando states, "I looked at a cooking task 151  ... andf it said i required a knife .i.h w.. .n .. .... h.. .t .h. ....] .. ..e. . .a. . b..i. f... a.d ..ied .o c... ..a. i.em ... t... ..r.e.! I ha.e ...... .ha. .nd .i.l p.st .. .o ..e .yp. ..ard ..."

Francesca rolls around.

Kinaed nods at Brando.

Kitty states, "Ok, don't have a bracket and a w, because we can't read anythign after that."

Metzuzelah says, "I see TI also has an appreciation for mumble rappers."

Radiune states, "Especially in Tubor."

Kitty muses, "Well, the imms can, but... the rest of us can't. Great for RP, not so much for OOC meetings, maybe?"

Satoshi claims, "Brando if you have a language tag with a w it whispers man we cant hear you"

Kinaed claims, "To restate: Brando states, "I looked at a cooking task 151  ... andf it said i required a knife hich was on my left hip at the time .. then i had a brain fart and tried to cook that item ... that worked! I have logged that and will post it to the typo board ok.""

Brando says, "I looked at a cooking task 151  ... andf it said i required a knife which was on my left hip at the time .. then i had a brain fart and tried to cook that item ... that worked! I have logged that and will post it to the typo board ok."

Brando states, "Sorry for typos :("

Mibs wonders, "Not sure everything you'd think counts as a knife counts as a knife. Like throwing knives sometimes?"

Kinaed claims, "I said that's good, thanks for the report - we appreciate if he typos the issue and we'll have a look."

Kinaed nods at Mibs.

Venamelia questions, "So.... someone ate a knife?"

say Must have a sharp taste, hmm...

Lunette trails off, "Must have a sharp taste, hmm..."

Satoshi states, "Throwing knives arent always usable as cutting knives irl"

Kinaed states, "Well, it's only about half way through the OOC Chat, and we're through our agenda."

Kinaed questions, "Anything anyone want to talk about?"

Kinaed muses, "Any suggestions for improvement anyone can think of?"

Francesca exclaims, "More demons!"

Kinaed grins at Francesca.

Niamh shuffles.

Niamh claims, "ARM THE POOP QUIVER."

Satoshi claims, "I think someone passed along to Az that safe attack doesnt break hide"

Satoshi states, "But ill re-iterate it here"

Satoshi says, "Havent tested with normal attack"

Flower claims, "Fun."

Kinaed claims, "Oh, we're still looking for and interviewing potential would be staff. And there are a few new roles open on the Announcement Board for people keen to jump straight into something."

Kinaed has transferred Tasker.  [OOC]

Tasker states, "You may begin the meeting I'm here"

Brando says, "Lol"

Francesca claims, "TASKER. Get out."

Kitty pats Tasker. 

Kinaed says to Satoshi, "I got that thing about Safe attack in my notes"

Radiune states, "We were just discussing heresy and magery - I mean, how to praise the Lord best."

Lans kneels by Tasker's feet.

Tasker screeches quietly

Sparkles states, "Oh I have something, but it might be a forum type idea."

LemonQuartz owo?s at Tasker. 

Mibs states, "No, someone was just saying that the best improvement would be more demons."

Kinaed claims to Sparkles, "Happy to hear it here or there, or both"

Kinaed grins at Mibs.

Radiune says, "More demons is always a plus.. *cough*"

Sparkles says, "I was sad to realize when I painted the lovely painting of the Queen that you can't embellish oil paintings with gold leaf to make the frame fancy."

Venamelia states, "A demonic christimas. Santa Claws."

Radiune says, "Krampus."

Mibs states, "Oh man. That sounds like a good time."

Metzuzelah says, "I was sad that you couldn't consign that painting. "

Kinaed nods at Sparkles.

Metzuzelah states, "Jk."

Sparkles states, ":("

Kinaed claims, "Oh, Staff went through the bug board and prioritized things, so the thing we're focused on right now is automating GL promotions."

Sparkles queries, "What does that do?"

Kitty wonders, "Automating GL promotions?"

Kinaed claims, "That is, if a GL role goes empty, making the game choose the next GL instead of staff handling it."

Lans muses, "Would that be a forced promotion?"


Temi states, "The people that want it can put their hands up, if eligible"

ToffeeApples claims, "That sounds dangerous"

Temi states, "It's not forced on anyone"

Metzuzelah muses, "Is it for the two levels of GLs? "

Francesca questions, "What if there are two candidates? Does it go to a Battle Royale?"

Temi nods in agreement with Francesca.

Mibs states, "We throw all the potential Grand Inquisitors into an arena. There are several on grid."

Flower muses, "Like the seneschal bid?"

Satoshi claims, "Seems like just an automated version of what you do with notes, seems legit"

Venamelia queries, "Will their primary weapon be... spoons?"

Kinaed claims to Kitty, "Well, Staff have a pretty strict pattern we use to promote GLs. It works like this - firstly we will promote the next highest ranking person in the guild who wants the role. After that, if no one inside the guild wants the role, then we'll open applications"

Temi states, "I believe it does use a mini system of the seneschal bids when there's ties"

Kinaed muses to Flower, "... um, I can share the spec maybe?"

Kinaed nods at Temi.

Niamh claims to Kinaed, "We could drop it into the specs forum if you're happy with that."

Kitty states, "I.... don't know about automating that. I had one person when I was GL in the past, offered to take the 2nd GL position when I was 1st GL, I went cool. And then, asked them to come in to get some training before I promoted them. They promptly went idle/disappeared from the game - so they wanted a GL position, but... weren't willing to stick around. If anyone can just say, "Yeah, I'll take it!" I have a feeling we'll have a lot of the above."

Tasker questions, "Was this such a big problem it needed automation?"

Niamh claims, "It can be, sometimes."

Kinaed states, "It checks to make sure the player is active, I think... let me share the spec with all of you and you're welcome to comment."

Niamh states, "It's less 'this person is selected by default' and more 'the players of that guild are now selecting their new GL'"

Kitty says, "Oh, the player was active at the time. They went inactive within two weeks of offering."

Kinaed states to Tasker, "Staff are also trying to push stuff off our desk."

Satoshi questions, "We do sort of already have a lot of semi-unreachable GLs right now, wohld that teallt change things from now? seems like it saves staff time"

Kinaed says, "Ebcause we have a 4 person team"

Tasker states, "Fair enuf"

Kinaed has redirected a note, (High) GL Automation (Edited by Kinaed) (Edited by Kinaed), on the Bugs board.

(visnet) Staff Kinaed: Just sharing a spec with the pbase as a result of OOC Chat discussions.

Temi says, "It'll be in your guys hands more than our own now"

Kitty claims, "'Active' means 1 hour a week. That's not enough for a GL, really. (And, I'm just... relaying an issue I had in the past. I mean, maybe it won't be a problem.)"

Kinaed nods at Temi.

Niamh claims, "You could just note vote for them if they're not active enough."

Kinaed states to Kitty, "I'll be honest - staff don't check for activity beyond 'are they active' when people put up their hands right now."

Niamh claims, "*NOT vote, that is."

Kinaed claims, "This automation thing is literally automating what we do because we do it by decision tree."

Venamelia states, "Okay, That is a big file. going through it."

Sparkles states, "The issue when they get the job and then go inactive and it takes serious IC effort (Gambiting) to deal with an OOC issue."

Kinaed nods at Venamelia.

Kitty says, "Well, right... but if there's another GL there, that GL can NOPE it."

Kitty states, "When it's not automated, I mean."

Temi says, "Nothing is changing to make inactivity more likely here, I'd think"

Flower says OOCly, "RL caused my inactivity. Sorry y'all."

Flower says, "Oops."

Kinaed nods at Flower.

Kinaed claims, "RL does that to people, we understand."

Kinaed claims, "Getting booted out of GLing for inactivity is not really a commentary on the the GL and is more a matter of 'the show must go on and it can't afford to get stuck waiting for one person'"

Lans has lost link.

Lans has reconnected.

Kinaed claims, "RL is more important than TI, we are just a game."

Temi finishes abruptly, "We do prefer people step down voluntarily if they know they can't do it, but we've had people go inactive suddenly for reasons they can't do that - computer dies, in the hospital, etc, and we definitely don't think worse of them, we just can't necessarily wait for them"

Venamelia claims, "I read it and I actually think it is a good idea."

Kinaed states, "That said, we'd like guild leadership to be out of staff hands. We're not a value add in the space other than vetting that applications are thematic."

Kinaed states to Venamelia, "Thanks :)"

Flower nods.

Kinaed claims, "If people read it and have suggestions for improvement, we'd be glad to hear it."

Tasker claims, "It does seem like it'll make it easier for staff which is always a good thing."

Kinaed nods at Tasker.

Kinaed states, "Meanwhile, if anyone is interested in taking the pressure off - please Request Board any interest in joining staff."

ToffeeApples muses, "Is it a particular type of position being requested?"

Radiune claims, "Wowie, just realized we have almost 30 people on right now."

Tasker exclaims, "Yeah heck me, awesome!"

Kinaed states, "General assistance - keeping up with requests, phomes, and honestly someone to be online fairly frequently when other staff aren't so that players feel like they're supported."

Satoshi has been transferred out by Kinaed.  [OOC]

Venamelia has lost link.

Civetta has lost link.

Civetta has reconnected.

Venamelia has reconnected.

Kinaed questions, "With fifteen minutes left - anything else people want to discuss?"

Kinaed states, "Oh, I added a new mud listing to a website called Grapevine. No idea how popular it will become."

Metzuzelah claims, "Sorry, distracted. Watching Miss Universe Pageants' re run. "

Kinaed states, "Https://grapevine.haus/manage/games/147"

Radiune says, "Says I have to sign in first. o.O. Hmm. Guess I'll have to register lol"

Brando asks, "I have a question about the shops roster. Can a shops targeted customers ( nobles & gentry  ... OR freemen ) be changed easily?"

Venamelia states, "Yeah, I tried to rec Tl on the  one listed on the page. Tried on two e-mails and they sent me empty e-mails for confirmation mails."

Temi states, "Pretty easy, though I don't think staff would be up for changing back and forth"

Temi states, "But like if you're redoing the shop and want it geared towards the other, that's possible"

Temi states, "If it's an NPC shop, we're not likely to change those"

Brando says, "Thanks Temi. I shall consider my options carefully then. cheers. :)"

Sparkles claims, "ICly looking to get support for voting Metrics or for helping to support projects might be a better long-term goal than switching things to get around Metrics issues."

Brando says OOCly, "I never set my roster when my shop was created. I got freemen as prefered customers by default."

Civetta sneezes loudly.

Brando says, "Oops"

Kinaed states, "Hmm, I think this is correct: https://grapevine.haus/games/TI"

Radiune wonders, "I was kind of surprised that the ore store was set for gentry and nobility rather than gentry and freemen. I can't really see a noble walking into a store, on his own (not sending a delegate) and being like, "yo, I want iron ore". Seems kind of.. 'base' thematically, y'know?"

Venamelia claims, "Not Found  This page cannot be found. >.>"

Sparkles claims, "Works for me, the link."

Temi says, "We don't mix gentry and freeman."

Temi states, "It's either freeman or its gentry"

Radiune claims, "I see."

Kinaed claims, "Heh, weird."

Temi states, "And nobility come along for the ride with gentry"

Brando claims, "Link works but says the page for TI cannot be found."

Kinaed says, "Heh, Brando can you email screen shots to Kinaed.TI@gmail.com"

Sparkles states, "I think there's a few spots it's Freeman and Nobility because of past RP things, like the poor guy in the Queens getting a paddling."

Brando states, "Yes Kinaed i can. :)"

Francesca claims, "But yeah if any merchant (or merchant wannabe) or whoever needs help buying from a gentry flagged store, if I'm on, I think it's safe to assume my character would be willing to help ICly."

LemonQuartz declaims, "You could also probably ask your friendly(ish) neighborhood Reeves!"

Kalana says, "And players will generally sell to anyone, even if their shopkeeper won't"

Brando claims, "Yes Kinaed i can. :) ..oh i just checked ... the linky is missing the capital I from the end... add the I and it works fine."

Kinaed claims to Brando, "Thank you"

Brando trails off, "Try this link https://grapevine.haus/games/TI ..."

Kalana states, "I guess there's more incentive if you're getting the money, than just getting paid a salary that's not enough to deal with freemen."
