I was thunkin', and talkin' to Tuek, and talking about ways to irritate people. How about a sigil that stops farscout/scry/windows? Maybe upgrade the Eye sigil to do this?
Unknown2005-03-16 15:43:31
Yes please. Eye sigils that stop scry/window/farscout = Yes please.
Or you know... make it a forest only thing... since.. you know... we are the only group of the three without a single scry-type ability. *cough* Kidding, I'm sure everyone would love that.

Shiri2005-03-16 15:47:24
...I don't care if everyone would love that, I want it anyway. Maybe it can be one of those new Moon powers I'm sure are coming!
Unknown2005-03-16 15:54:18
Yes please.
Unknown2005-03-16 16:11:50
No way! I'm not a forestal and i want it too!
Unknown2005-03-16 16:13:49
I meant a forest only thing. Of course everyone wants the eye sigil to do that, but they'd be pissed if it was a forest only ability.
Shiri2005-03-16 16:18:51
Make eye sigil do it, but break after so many scries? You'd have to wield it, rather than drop it, perhaps.

I donno... Lazul has something which makes him unseeable in clans. I have no idea what that is... when I go CLWHO I see a couple people and me. But seeing CW, I know Lazul's online and I know he's in the clan, but he's just not showing up.
I never really tried scrying on him, but maybe he's hidden too.
If there's already an artifact for it, then the Gods aren't gonna give you this either.

It's an artifact, 400 credits, gem of cloaking, that stops them from being seen on QW, WHO, CLWHO, and possibly OWHO, not sure about the last one.
In any case - no, it doesn't in any way stop scrying.

This = good idea.

I knew if I threw them out by the thousands I'd eventually nail ONE!
Unknown2005-03-17 00:03:27
Or perhaps instead, it had a random chance of getting through, like say a 5% chance of a scry succeeding, otherwise it just shows the same message as if you were logged off.
Typhus2005-03-17 00:05:48
Interesting.. Basically call you stupid for trying right? Of course, they would be able to see you on the bwho.. Course, with the artefact... Would those be sackable?
Shiri2005-03-17 00:08:47
I dunno Tuek, I think it should just be "You attempt to scry on Nejii, but your only vision is a stony, staring eye.", with no chance of success. I mean, you can't get lucky and port through a monolith, or wander as a soul through a dropped eye.
Typhus2005-03-17 00:10:55
Hmmm... Sort of negates the skill of scry and all that on it's own though, doesn't it..
Shiri2005-03-17 00:13:47
Like monolith & teleport? Like I say, give it a few, like, "charges", and it should be fine.
EDIT: Or, well, wielding it means a mage/wiccan/guardian doesn't have a shield, and a warrior his second weapon, so that's quite bad to begin with. Or you could even just have it thrown at the person and last a certain period of time?

Hmm.. So combat of knowledge would be search whoring until their eye broke eh?
Unknown2005-03-17 00:19:29
Right, which is why I suggested, while it is wielded, the chance of a scry/window of succeeding is random.
It's sort of like soulmask in Imperian. Rather then it hiding your alignment like Achaea/Aetolia (There is no alignment there), it makes so that farseeing/etc only has a small chance of succeeding, so it is quite difficult to keep an eye on someone who has soulmask up. Oh, and they can soulmask other people.

Okay, not the charges thing then. But a time limit is good. Since scrying is remote, if enough people do it, even with a small chance, they're -still- gonna get through fairly easily. And there's always thirdeye, so stopping it entirely for a short period of time won't harm much.
