An idea.

I've been sitting on this idea for quite some time, because i'm a lazy bastard.

Idea = The following.

A Furrikin character (Because they're cool) whose job is that of a news reporter. Basically, he would roam the Basin, collecting information for articles and interviewing famous and/or important Lusternians. There could be sections in his reports on other things, such as cooking, combat tips, ect. He could even get a whole crew together to scour the world for juicy gossip, and such things.

Every few days, more or less depending upon how much is going on, he'll post all of his writings on the public board. This would generate many roleplaying opportunities, as well as help people stay more informed on what's happening. Not to mention that it would be entertaining.

Any comments? Also, if you're interested in perhaps creating a Furrikin to act as assistant or something along those lines, please PM me.

Good idea, of course, some will just end up trying to kill him because of where ever he was from. Good luck to ya.

I intend on being a rogue. That way there will be less reason to mistrust me prying into things.
Shiri2005-03-16 23:22:10
Eh, Akraasiel tried this on a small scale, it kinda fell through. Worth trying, perhaps. (I wouldn't mind helping, being a Furrikin, but I'm Seren. sleep.gif)
Typhus2005-03-16 23:25:15
Shiri.. You don't care about Guido, you sadistic little robot. You simply want to reach 5000 posts. Anyways, good luck again Guido. Welcome, again, to the rogue family.
Torak2005-03-16 23:27:31
Psh giving information to Guido is like signing a dotted line that say *Blank* " has given you permisson to backstab!" But for real I think Guido is a bit too shady, it might work tho. Sounds pretty neat and you could make up a really good story line to go with it smile.gif

It wouldn't be Guido, it would be a new character.

Why Furrikin?
Unknown2005-03-16 23:31:53
Because in the histories, Lolly Pringle was a Furrikin. I might try and have my character be a descendant of his.
Torak2005-03-16 23:32:46
Descendant or reincarnation!
Unknown2005-03-16 23:34:09
Reincarnation would be |_@/\\/\\3. Anyway, the name 'Lolly' isn't allowed.
Shiri2005-03-16 23:35:44
Shh Typhus. It'd be fun. But I'm Seren, and I don't plan on quitting or making an alt until Hallifax arrives, in a couple RL years, sooo. Don't know if that's good enough.
Shamarah2005-03-16 23:35:59
You've tried?

Anyway, it would be cool. I was thinking you meant an NPC at first, but that'd take way too much of the Divine's time to do.
Typhus2005-03-16 23:36:15
Oh, those smart Admins.. They aren't suppose to ban all the historic characters before someone gets a chance to steal one and run around, acting crazy.
Unknown2005-03-16 23:40:35
Bah, make a Mugwump!

Heck, I'd be willing to make a Mugwumpi assistant for ya. Send me a PM or something or other. Yay reporters!
Unknown2005-03-16 23:41:07
Oh, not everyone who works for me has to be rogue. In fact, it is better if you're not. It's important to have people on the inside, y'know?
Typhus2005-03-16 23:43:56
And good P.R., until the cities forbid socialization with you because they *magically* found out your the man behind Guido playing the reporter...
Richter2005-03-16 23:47:57
I was thinking about this this morning, when President Bush was having a news conference.

It appears you can read my mind, Guido.

I'd support this 100%, especially if you could get a feel like the histories.

I can see something like, Akraasiel setting Rexali's robes on fire at a big event, and you covering it, and... wait... they did that in the history. tongue.gif
Unknown2005-03-16 23:51:53
Nice, Richter.

So that means I have 100% of 50% of the entire world's gold backing me. What could go wrong?

And yes, it's a great idea Guido.
