Re: Blog questions and topic suggestions Reply to this Post Reply with Quote For a (whole other) blog post, I'm going to do a list of favorites. If you have any suggestions for favorite things I could list, please PM me or post here! They could be game-related things or real-life related things.

Re: Blog questions and topic suggestions Reply to this Post Reply with Quote     I would love a little background on the decision process. :P Heehee ok visual puns aside, I still would like some insight into how something gets into the game. The two puzzles that were chosen for round two of the GCPP are not necessarily what I would have chosen* (though I can honestly say I wouldn't have chosen mine either - it was a bit complex) even though I can see how they would appeal to a group of people. I also can see how they are a good balance with the puzzles we already have in place, but I can see how some of the others would be as well. It would be interesting to hear what element caught the developer's attention. *PLEASE NOTE: This in no way is meant as a complaint about the chosen games. Without giving away secrets, I'd be curious to know some of the long term goals (For example, after the crafting puzzles what other areas might need attention?) I made a suggestion months ago about classifying ships and giving each class a unique puzzle to break up some of the monotony a bit. Obviously that would be a huge change, I'm just curious whether anything like that might be a long term goal or if the current setup is considered to be enough. (I understand it can be hard to discuss long term goals since people who don't understand tend to get impatient.) Anyway, I always enjoy glimpses behind the scenes (I'm a theatre techie - can't help myself) so I've enjoyed all the posts that do that. ---------------------------------------- Pletoo of Sage

Re: G is for... (Or: It's all Greek to me!) Reply to this Post Reply with Quote     Actually, the natural progression of letters reminds me...where DID the Greek theme come from, anyway? Greece. I had heard that Cleaver was responsible, myself, which leads me to question your lot's taste in nicknames. Is there a country theme? Is Cleaver Greece, which would perhaps render Eurydice as Zimbabwe, or Demeter as Italy? Things you learn. If I knew that being dubbed Mexico or Brazil was a fringe benefit of being hired, I'd have put in a ton of work on an OM application. ---------------------------------------- Cassis, Sage Evil Mastermind A quick wit's best accompanied by quick reflexes.

Re: G is for... (Or: It's all Greek to me!) Reply to this Post Reply with Quote   If we're lucky, we may even find something else to blame for ruining the game!! Heh, there's one. What would the OMs currently consider to be "ruining the Game", if they were nothing more than Players, as opposed to what they would consider to be ruining it as OMs? (My vote from the OM perspective would be "ZOMG the damn PLAYERS are ruining the Game!!111!")

Re: Blog questions and topic suggestions Reply to this Post Reply with Quote hey hey hey I have kind of a doozy Do you remember shipwrightery? I don't mean the one that made it to production, I mean the shipwrightery that was almost in the game and ready to be put on the oceans until someone decided it was awful. So, I'm kind of wondering what was Shipwrightery like when it wasn't fun and anything related to that. ---------------------------------------- His Holiness, The Dope

Re: Blog questions and topic suggestions Reply to this Post Reply with Quote Just dawned on me that there hasn't been a blog post in a while... I figured I'd suggest having some thoughts from the new ocean masters and how they are adjusting to the new life of an OM (with plenty of humor included). Even a post from the blog usuals (Hypnos or Apollo) talking about their adjusting to having new pledges into their society of awesomeness.

Re: Blog questions and topic suggestions Reply to this Post Reply with Quote Recalling older blog posts, I remembered one that was quite interesting. I'd love to see another blog entry that showed off more statistics that the average pirate wouldn't know. /me pokes Cephalopod, c'mon, you know you want to pull some more numbers!   Ship count Feb 6, 2007 by Hypnos Yarr! Cephalopod was kind enough to pull the numbers for vessels for all of our oceans, and here they are: cobalt: 19282 hunter: 8490 ice: 2485 midnight: 47629 opal: 1387 sage: 17224 viridian: 25539 Opal certainly got vessels fast! And I was surprised at Hunter's numbers being so much lower than Sage and Viridian's, even given that it started later. ---------------------------------------- Stevensam -Cobalt Native, founder and host of The PoE is Right.
