One of the things to do in the Serenwilde is help Poloma find her colts. I managed to get 3 bundles of sweetgrass, one for each colt (they won't follow you unless you bribe them). I managed to find Kota and Laka pretty easily, but Toma had somehow managed to wander way outside the area the colts usually are. By the time I found him, my last grass had decayed. Usually, when you find the colts, you give them the grass then take them to Poloma, and she does her thing there. But not this time. Here's what happened when I found him (I took out some moving things and most of the prompts to make it easier to read):

With a mischievous grin, a centaur colt gallops in from the north.

You ask a centaur colt, "Toma?"

You say to a centaur colt, "Toma, come here."

Different npcs or course. I always like it when I find Luckie cheating in blackjack and she denying it.
It would make people more immersed in roleplay. I think it would also stop people from humping random npcs biggrin.gif

From: Lord Avasyu, the Creator
To : Everyone
Subj: Docents

We are developing an exciting and new approach to the improvement of
role-play opportunities within Imperian by introducing player run
events.

Certain players will be selected to assume the roles of three docents
that will be responsible for the creation and execution of a variety of
plots throughout Aetherius. When performing as a docent, you will have
the ability to possess s as well as certain commands that will allow you
to function effectively. You will be given approval on plots you
develop, and the support you need to perform them. Release of any
information regarding the docent program will result in termination of
the privilege for you. You will be compensated in-game for your time,
just like the guide system.NPC

As a docent you will have two main functions. First, you will be able
run pre-approved, minor rp plots. These plots will be very simple.
Second, you will be able to possess mobiles for general, free form rp
with mortal across the land.

You will need to include the following in your application for docent.

1. Character name(s)
2. Real name and age
3. Hours of availability and time zone
4. What you think qualifies you for a position as a docent
5. What you consider to be examples of good and bad events/roleplay
6. Sample plot. The events should last no more than 4 hours each, so
please consider that before submitting the sample plot. Do not
submit ideas that involve your own characters, organizations, and
close associates such as family.
7. During the time of your application your own personal roleplay
will be observed.

Exclusion of any of these will result in your application being
rejected. Send your applications to docent@imperian.com.


Penned by my hand on the 17th of Ultio, in the year 498 AD.

Woah. I love that idea. That's so awesome!
Acrune2006-08-09 22:28:38
That is indeed pretty cool.
Unknown2006-08-09 22:36:18
It's been said before just why that wouldn't work in Lusternia.
Unknown2006-08-09 22:42:14
Heh... if it can be done in Imperian, it can be done here. That idea is pure awesomeness.
Vix2006-08-09 22:56:58
Totally beats being a guide in my opinion! That actually looks pretty fun!
