Should I up my account for pms? How does the Friendly speciality work and how revealing is it? Is effort required per month to use it?

Hello hi I have never played a forums game before, should I play this one or would it be better for people who already know what they're doing? If yes to the first please consider this my sign up owl.

Podima posted:Professors would be better, yeah. What does ##detention do? Sending a Student to detention means they cannot do anything except Study that Professor's classes, or Rest. I'll update the Teacher's actions in the OP to be more specific. MinutePirateBug posted:Should I up my account for pms? How does the Friendly speciality work and how revealing is it? Is effort required per month to use it? Hmm it possibly isn't necessary for this game as i have created a Discord server for the game, and i can PM people on that if they prefer. If you've got plat then might as well activate it, but don't bother buying it specifically. As for specialties... I've intentionally left the specifics of the role vague for now. My initial thought is only players that choose that specialty will know exactly how the role works. Depending on how the Sorting goes, it could be a benefit or a drawback if say an opposing house doesn't have anyone Friendly and know what they are capable of. Generally, if i am talking about an action it will cost Effort to use. But if people would prefer a more open setup, i can make all roles completely described.

Quidthulhu posted:busb are we going to have house specific discord chats to hang out with where people who want to follow the game can idle and watch us hang out, are we, are we, are we??? I'm not sure what you're asking. Each House has its own secret discord chat. I haven't considered spectators, i don't know if anyone would even want to, seeing as there are no deaths/eliminated students people that are invested in the game will still be in the game. The forums thread will have the results of everything and public actions etc so that is easily followed. i might create a separate spectator chat on Discord if people want it, but probably wouldn't give them access to the House chats.

Nyaa posted:Can I use other class skill if I can make it work for the situation/task? Hmm i don't quite get what you're asking here sorry Event requirements will be RNGed, so any skill could theoretically come up for an event, with class specific events (which will be the majority) aligning along the reference table i supplied. If i roll really lucky/unlucky the event could require weird and whacky skills. Whenever i announce an Event i will specify exactly which skills will benefit it, and will generally follow the formula in the example in the OP (Effort x Base Attribute) + class skill + speciality bonus peramene posted:FIFTEEN M--- I dont get the 15 minutes joke sorry Bif+pera I don't know if this will get spectators, but i will keep that in mind! I'm just nervous about strategies leaking from spectators to players

I originally expected very low engagement from the Myst crew. I specced the game such that you could have a quick conversation, decide what you were going to do with your alliance or on your own, shoot me your orders and be done. 15 minutes a dayTM. Instead, many people ended up putting in 7 hour days (and myself 14) and are now so attached to their characters that the Myst Crew very frequently just calls each other by those names or does so as a reminder of kinship. so the joke is a combination of "lol pera" and also a reminder that no matter what you do this will consume our entire lives which reminds me: you're gonna run all seven years over the course of time - at least if this does well - yeah?
