I think Lusternia might be better if city channels weren't always being spammed by "Oh sweet baby Jesus, save me!" and the classic "What are you cutting off? Is it my torso? It is! My precious torso!"

Perhaps every city should get a military channel, or "mt". This channel can be used for military stuff in the cities and only those who have been promoted to a military level can hear it and talk on it. Attacked guards and loyals that aren't from the city itself ask for help on this channel as well.

So, thoughts?

For one thing, random Furrikin farmers wouldn't have been promoted to the Serenwilde military. For another, it just makes sense for them to call out where people can hear them.

I'll promote them. Then you can promote Nessa, as she's the only one who appears when I go to play in Estelbar. Aside from Narsrim, but I use over 10 catacombs a day for a good reason - running from him.

I think before we can do something like that, we would have to formalize city military divisions, like in Achaea where the military was actually a coded part of the city, and showed up on honours and all. If it's just a private clan that is used for city military purposes, like the GCA, it wouldn't make sense to give that clan priveledges that other clans don't have.

I'm bumping my old military thread post as I have a bit more to say.

Estarra thinks the rampant pk is why Lusternia's pbase has gone down and that's why karma went in. I'm sure it was the pk, but not the random risk of getting killed so much as the fact that it seems to follow people all the time. There's as many cries for help from mobiles attacked by players that clear out of the area really quickly as there is actual talking on the channel some days. So, I really wish they would put in an 'mt' or military talk for these cries for help and stuff.

Huzzah, go post bumping.

. That was great.

PK wasn't working because too many people found room for complaint, justifiably so. Sometimes people would wait outside a place for people to leave, then jump them or let someone know so they could jump them. Sometimes people would scry all day for targets. Some people slaughtered newbies left and right, which might've been fine -had they stuck around and fought the big brothers and sisters who showed up later-

But they often didn't, so there was no recourse, and at times you couldn't even leave your nexus. The intent was for the world to be naturally dangerous, but not constantly more deadly than astral on the prime itself. The creators stated that they never wanted that much pk.

As far as the military idea, I don't see what's wrong with it, you don't call 1-800-HELPQUICK when you're being robbed, you call the police, and the distinction between military and police isn't really a factor here. I don't know if such a thing would really be necessary, but plausible, sure.

Yes, military structure! It will make disctinction between players oriented on PvP and others more clear, for one. Besides, I bet many of fighters would like to be officially a high ranked officer in their city's army.

I seriously suggest that we just give each commune/city above a certain number army privilegeous.

Like Great House...

ARMY

General can do this but can set privs for other ranks (or whatever rank you wanna call it)
ENLIST TO ARMY
(When the number of enlisted reaches 50 you have:)
ASSIGN TO (eg ASSIGN AEBRIN TO 7; Aebrin has been assigned to the rank of "Sergeant"). May only be used at the beginning

PROMOTE
Anybody 5 ranks and above the person may promote the person one rank. (kinda like GF)
DEMOTE
ditto above but demoting.

RALLY ARMY and UNRALLY ARMY
Anybody in the army online will recieve a message saying, "You have been rallied to defend your city/commune". Maybe every minute or so for 5 minutes. During the time of rallying, soldiers will not gain Pk status from killing anybody within ally grounds.

HONOUR WITH MEDAL OF
Gives the person an honour line which only citizens can see.

sc

bleh bleh
You are a soldier in the Holy Army of New Celest
You have reached the rank of Lord Master of the World in the HANC
You have attained the Medal of Sexual Tension
bleh bleh

honours Aebrin (from a non-citizen point of view)
Aebrin, the sexy merian
He is a soldier in the Holy Army of New Celest.
He has one medal of honour.

Something like this...

Oh linking back to the topic,

the "HElp help I'm being repressed" messages will be sent to only army members.

And they get a channel to talk in

perhaps a bankaccount as well.

Sounds good.

Haha Aether has 69 posts...

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease implement my dear (IC) brother's idea (Aebrin). Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. I want a medal of sexual tension!

(Magnagora): You say, "Awww, ah loves ye too Aym."
2340h, 2575m, 3060e, 10p ex-
(Magnagora): An undead dwarven miner says, "SWEET GOD MY PELVIS, NARSRIM HAS CRUSHED IT AT 'a dusty passage way'!"
2340h, 2575m, 3060e, 10p ex-
(Magnagora): Aym says, "We should get together some time and have tea."
2340h, 2575m, 3060e, 10p ex-
(Magnagora): A dracnari silk farmer says, "Help, help! Ceres came by and showed me a puppy and asked me to get into her car!"

Yes, this is another request to get a military channel put in. Can we just experiment with having one for a week and then see what everyone thinks?

I like it!

You are such a nerd, Jello. Faking logs are you? Better be glad I heart you, or I would PK! or something worse! buahahaha!

*peer* Jello why did you make two threads on the same topic - *points to Military talk thread*

I swear Etain's pic is of Envy from FMA. But that can't be right.

Anyway, yes, soon as I find the old topic of this I'll merge.

Bleh. You KNOW it's Envy.

SWEET GOD MY PELVIS! I'm so going to remember that.

Yes, I thought it was Envy, but A: I didn't think Etain watched FMA, or Bleach actually (Rukia avatar!) and B: I don't get the quote.

That.

And that's it, I'm -so- getting a Naruto avatar.

Anyway, military channel... seems cluttered to me. The denizens are temporary citizens anyway so why not the normal channel? It sure catches everyone's attention.

But then again I haven't been spammed by those messages in some time.
