The best manse idea

So, I have a large manse. Go me. I also have multiple organizations using it, or that will be using it. Now, I have to make sure doors are kept shut so that only certain people can get into certain places. Normal people aren't allowed past the waiting room. Merchants are allowed in the common room. Carthans are allowed upstairs. Deepnight donators are allowed in the community. The guardians can get into the guardian room, and there are private apartments.

*huff*

Gaudiguch Sanctum.
A statue of Karrah stands here, memorializing his noble spirit. Lying flat on
the ground is a key-shaped sigil.
You see a single exit leading up (closed door).
2500h, 2020m, 2500e, 10p, 11400en, 11400w ex-u

There is a pine door in the way.
2500h, 2020m, 2500e, 10p, 11400en, 11400w ex-open door u

You open the pine door to the up.
2500h, 2020m, 2500e, 10p, 11398en, 11400w ex-u

The door to the down slams shut.
Grand Plaza of Deepnight.
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. Lying flat on the
ground is a key-shaped sigil.
You see exits leading north (open door), south, southwest, up (open door), down
(closed door), and in (closed door).
2500h, 2020m, 2500e, 10p, 11396en, 11400w ex-in

There is an iron door in the way.
2500h, 2020m, 2500e, 10p, 11396en, 11400w ex-mutter

You mutter discontentedly.
2500h, 2020m, 2500e, 10p, 11400en, 11400w ex-open door in

You open the iron door to the in.
2500h, 2020m, 2500e, 10p, 11398en, 11400w ex-in

The door to the out slams shut.
A small waiting room.
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. A statue of Richter
stands here, memorializing his noble spirit.
You see exits leading north, northeast, and out (closed door).

So.

Please.

For the love of Buho.

This "door" is always closed, so I don't have to use key sigils. And those with privs can walk right through it. Makes it so that I can restrict whomever I want without pissing off... oh... everyone with the doors open and closed stuff. I mean, I can bend the manse to my will anyway, let's get a door that doesn't suck.

Maybe?

Your manse is bigger than mine?
Richter2005-02-08 05:44:33
No hijacking.

And yes, Buho said we were tied, and then I added the box I had in my inventory.

Comment on the idea, eh?
Ialie2005-02-08 05:46:42
Ah well.. mine is way prettier though tongue.gif
Elryn2005-02-08 05:49:32
Yes, wonderful idea. But wouldn't it cost at least 100,000 gold? As its an unbreakable door that people can't break through, it doesn't require a sigil to close, they can't attempt to sneak through when you open it, and it looks funky. But if they make those... lets hope they replace the doors to shop stockrooms. smile.gif
Elryn2005-02-08 05:50:19
And yes, Ialie's is beautiful from what I've seen. All us manse owners are jealous tongue.gif
Richter2005-02-08 05:55:01
No. Please.

Look, manses already cost me an arm, a leg, and two fingers. Why make it so that non-sucky doors cost a LOT?

What are you going to do anyway? Break into my manse? haha

No point in it, and manses are made so that you can restrict anyone anyway.

And, if you'd all take notice of Deepnight plaza, and the new rooms I'm making, you'll all drool.
Elryn2005-02-08 06:09:51
Why not just restrict Deepnight to those who are part of your city? Then you don't need a lot of doors. I think the problem with having a magic portal and door cost about the same is basically, who would choose the door?

And I know what you mean about them being expensive, I'm waiting until the credit market settles down again (or up, hopefully) before I continue with my own plans.
Richter2005-02-08 06:15:58
Because I have several private rooms. Part of the appeal is that no one else can get into your room.

And let's see. I have 12 rooms, one was 350k, the others were 150k, room descriptions and titles cost 2k together, and that's if you never change them. Doors cost at least 1000gp.

You do the math.
Ialie2005-02-08 06:18:21
*ponders buying credits just so that she would have 13 rooms*
Elryn2005-02-08 06:20:22
I have a manse, Richter. I know how much they cost tongue.gif

And you're both evil ... everyone knows its quality that is more important than quantity. unsure.gif crying.gif
Ialie2005-02-08 06:25:05
Hey.. I seriously spent lots of time and effort planning what it would look like.. the lay out.. the descriptions everything.

You can ask Dlanod who I bothered to no end trying to make everything the best I could
Richter2005-02-08 06:30:47
Mine have time and effort put into them too!

And I just hit 13. *twiddle*
Ialie2005-02-08 06:32:17
Well yours is a city Mine is just my home. I stopped buying boxes when I stopped comming up for ideas for new rooms.
Richter2005-02-08 06:35:47
Community! You'll scare the tree huggers away!

Comment on the door idea. >_<
Elryn2005-02-08 06:39:39
The tree-huggers can come live with me. *hum*
Richter2005-02-08 06:40:41
Noooooooo
Daganev2005-02-08 09:25:59
I understand your desire, but I think it really makes the whole door idea silly.

Why do you need a key sigil if only certain people can open the door anyways?
Shamarah2005-02-08 11:32:09
So that the door closes, making it so that the people have to have the permission to open it and then walk through. The permissions only apply to actually opening the door.
Daganev2005-02-08 11:53:22
Where you raised in a barn? Can't close a door behind you?
