GMs want me to scale back Dreavenings

[malmuddy]

Out of curiosity, how big are the HOTA groups that run into Reim?

[Astray]

The Back Down, starring Wyrom and Estild.

Two equally useless, completely out of touch people with a modicum of power attempting to remove what is basically wholesome, helpful interaction because their shit is broken and they'd rather funnel cocaine up their assholes than fix anything. The cock suckers.

[Gelston]

Yeah, some Windcaller guy just showed up in IMT giving out armbands for flowers. Not exactly my thing, but damn I wish they did more stuff like this. It's always refreshing to see GM interaction like that.

That is actually a yearly event.

On most nights, maybe 20.

On farm nights, up to 30.

Honestly Wyrom is a dullard who had a chance to really make something of this genre. There’s so much you can do with the written word rather than graphics. How about co-op dungeons with more puzzles/storyline, or character factions that gets settled ina PvP town/castle.

So much shit you cando with the game and he turned it into a casino. The way gaming is going there’s going to be a massive backlash against the whole microtrans/lootbox structure. They are going to want to hire a creator and not a pitboss at the Bellagio.

Those things all are in game. It's just the 15-40 dollars a month for mud isn't QUITE enough to unlock them so you have to pay another 10 dollars to do a quest one time.

ROFL I think he expected that to be a taunting reveal of his covert alts.

if macguyver's alts were Spider-Man:

I have to get rid of every service that relies on a prompt from another player. So I could cast consecrate + bless at everyone at the table, but I can't dispel a weapon because that would require you giving the weapon to Najash which is a prompt.

I mean I COULD still do that, it's just I have to manually start a script to do all of that every time someone taps Najash, which would be a lot of work.

I'm pretty sure you could make it work within the botting rules by:

• Taps or whatever queue up the names (edit: ids, not names, ofc) of people to dispel/adjust/etc. Script does nothing else at this time, just sits in a holding pattern.
• Script has a command to dequeue whomever is next in line to get dispelled/adjust/etc., and does the entire process for that person once you manually hit the dequeue command.
• Set the command to a stormfront macro or something.

Alt-tab to Najash, Shift-F3, alt-tab to whichever alt is next.

Without seeing your code, i'd guess the easiest way to retrofit this in would be having the queuing on its own thread (part of a downstream hook?) and and the script just pauses itself before each new person in line.

It'd obviously be more annoying than the current process, but it would probably be doable.

Yeah this botting rule is silly because it's so easy to circumvent while still not breaking the rule. That's why I've asked Wyrom to just redo the policy to save myself some coding which will end up having the same end result as before.

The rule could simply be afk botting is not allowed, I think everyone can agree with this. Also put a time limit on how long one can run a "bot" script, like only for 15 minutes every 4 hours. Otherwise the GMs are going to have to just assume or guess that someone is botting with no real way to prove it. Putting a time limit on it gives them an easy way to track and punish people who abuse botting.

Their only other real option is to start cracking down heavily on scripts altogether, and something tells me that's not a road they want to go down.

Everyone will get banned at every DR if they did that.

[Taernath]

I don't see them changing or clarifying policy.

Also, there is a time limit in place for how long you script, it's like 25% of your time in game or 10 minutes, whichever comes first, and it's entirely up to GM discretion. It's on the website.
