Realizing that “Cathedral Weddings” or GM Weddings are a lot of work as a lot goes into that project.... I can understand why they are not currently being offered.

I am petitioning the Gods to offer a package of just the wedding rings and wedding verbs. The wedding verbs and the verbs for the rings are already created. The only part that would require alterations would be the rings. Two items to work with QC.

Who else might be interested in a package with just the wedding verbs and rings?

I'm surprised these don't exist in the Simucoin store by now.

They should really just offer an item that grants the verbs to two people and the rings via the simucoin store. I guess a party tent token too or whatever.

Or offer it as an in game Cleric guild skill that can be trained, transmuted, or whatever. Or Cleric + Alchemy, customizable based on the deity of the cleric.

If we're wishing for stuff, let's start with the wish from a non-microtransaction start point.

No, they wouldn't get money from that and they'd never offer it. They aren't going to go from collecting $180 to $0.

"Full" GM weddings already cost real money, I don't know why a more accessible version wouldn't. And something that requires coding is right out.

If they're not offering it as a service anymore, they're already not collecting it. If it does have to have a microtransaction angle, let the base item required for the alchemist be gotten by simucoin store only. Then you get the item. Take it to your local alchemist. They do their alchemy thing, create a ring. You take it to your local cleric, get it customized based on deity, then you do the wedding.

Everybody wins. Microtransaction still intact. Interactivity between players bolstered. New reasons to invest in existing artisan skills. RP angles expanded.

And I imagine they are "offering" them still, just the schedule is full and there is only one GM that does it. It takes lots of QC and crap for them because you get a crap ton of alters you'll never use again.

No, that is retarded having to have those extra alchemy steps. Just the item from the store.

Make it d100 RNG based, in keeping with the theme of crafting.

I'm just trying to brainstorm ideas to make it at least somewhat interactive with the game in an in character sense. I'm sure there are better ways to tackle it, and I realize it's a system that's historically always been just a "pay us and we'll do it" deal. Nothing wrong with trying to think up ways to make it fit in character too. I don't like the idea of just asking for another microtransaction. It sends a bad message.

I mean, Weddings IRL are a series of microtransactions. It fits in fine.

I wrote to Simutronics events and no, they are not currently offering the big wedding. It is a lot of alters and QC work. I get that. Which is why I think a package of just the wedding rings/verbs would be perfect. Maybe a token for the verbs and a Sadie type scroll for the rings.

I take that to mean all the dates are booked, so, not currently offering. They only ever had so many a year.

It used to be they only did new items and they couldn't be pocketed, so the alters were just garbage, unless you just wanted some outfits I guess.

Many years ago my cleric cast Commune to ask the gods for advice on whether he should divorce or not. "You have suffered enough" was the answer.

And back to the worthless gif? You still never explained why it made any sense, or why it was insulting, or why I am so terrible, or literally anything at all. You just post non sequitur after non sequitur and (I assume) giggle "got em" to yourself each time.

Rep isn't anonymous anymore. There used to be a plug in that automatically did this, but go to setting, right click, view page source, look for a line that looks similar to this: <li class="floatcontainer blockrow summaryinfo pos" id="reputationbit_2201103_6078"> above the rep, then put that last 4 behind this link http://forum.gsplayers.com/member.php? , like http://forum.gsplayers.com/member.php?6078 for the one I posted.

Why not? I know a lot of people who would pay to have the verbs. Its a lot cleaner and easier than ACTing everything. The way Simu is bringing new stuff out, its worth a discussion.

Also, if you dont like the bump, you dont have to read it. You dont have to get upset. Just move on like you do most everything else.
