Discussion

Sacrificing gold rewards w/randomization has been scrapped and a new proposal is being drafted by Maratsade. Next week a list of all currently listed 'old' in the discussion forum will be brought to "handle" in some manner, so they can be either moved along, re-written or archived.

August 14, 2006
Conducted a brainstorming session which will result in several new proposals.

VC update
Gold yield decrease through buffer - Although this solution is viable and was appreciated for its relevance and practicality, there is already a solution in the works. VC would like to extend it's appreciation for a well thought out and well presented proposal.

August 21, 2006

Discussion
======================
Discussion with Kali about process and the chain of bureaucracy in the current
system "What works or does not work for you?"

Future Agenda Topics
======================
Topic - How we handle ideas and their interpretation

Future Agenda Topics with Kali
======================
Topic - Public Awareness

Next Meeting (September 11)
======================
VC/CoE feedback portion of proposal process discussion with Kali

Denied by VC
============
Have the "You Failed." message include what it was that failed - The response is in direct relation to your last typed command and thus does not reap benefits in relation to the amount of cusomization required.
Gold distribution based on buffer - New economy stuff coming.

Passed VC and sent to CoE
=========================
Augurer skill - Discern
Enchanted status to be shown on identify
Forested arena returning heals
Blood to be given on kill blow for vampires

Sept 11, 2006
Denied by TS
===========
Remove pkill - A radical decision to remove an integral part of our game was seen as detrimental to players who enjoy the pursuit and abandoning the foundations of the MUD.
Give Rangers Fifth Attack - Rangers are not warriors and giving them this would simply remove the differentiation of the classes for no thematic benefit.
Amemendment to right/left wearlocs - Making items go to a specific slot would be realistic however it provides nothing but aesthetic appeal with high development costs.
Give apartments vaults - Apartments are not houses and this is one of the defining characteristics of them by original design.
Give paladins flurry - Again, this is simply giving a class a more warrior-like performance for no themeatic benefit.
Setrecall commmand for hometowns - It is easy to use Tage to get to hometowns.
As far as opening up recall to user-specified locations, this seems unnecessary in light of a few commands. Orders and guilds already have this ability.

For rework by TS
===============
Modifications to Wasp Talon - Mechanics of poison to melee damage need to be worked on further.

Passed by CoE and on Project List
=================================
Isscyl lag and duration modifications

October 9, 2006
Today's meeting was canceled due to the Canadian Holiday and lack of overall numbers to perform any necessary buisness.
back to top

October 16 2006
Passes:
========
Bloodhunt for vampires - A limited form of tracking dependent on blood.
Elemental weapon flags - Adding elemental damage to weapons as flags in lieu of simple spell additions

Fails:
======
Ranger long blade skill increase - This was seen as not capable of creating much difference and would be thematically inconsistent with Realm's concept of rangers.
Fathomers regaining mana from a drunken state - While quite thematically interesting, fathomers on Realms are not strictly drunken pirates of common lore.

Passes/Fails

*Forums are getting an overhaul and reorganization (See note 17)

*VC council has been eliminated and tasked directly to TS and the Liasons. Cappadocius will be responsible for the immortal contribution to the proposal process along side the liasons.

Discussion
======================
*Moving Wasp Talon back to forum or just removing entirely because of the addition of the Gash skill to rangers.

October 30, 2006
Special Guest: Tonitrus

Passes
======================
*New Paladin Spell: Guardian Angel - would summon a mob for 2 rounds that would rescue the paladin from combat to allow the paladin an "escape".

Moved back to forum
======================
*Moving Wasp Talon back to forum or just removing entirely because of the addition of the Gash skill to rangers.

Tonitrus's Proposal
======================
*Weapons, Armor and Item Crafting - Crafting stuff using items all over the realms.
back to top

November 6, 2006
Failed
======
Guarding position for Rangers - Rangers would get a new position that would allow them to use missile weapons while in a room with a mob without being initially drawn into the fight.

This was perceived as too powerful by allowing rangers to sit in a room and not being drawn into combat. It was expressed that if there were an issue with missile weapons, it would be preferable to adjust the skill and not create work arounds.
