Traveling events - odd things AGAIN.

Postby Revanael » Fri Jul 23, 2004 1:29 am

This time, it's a woman in her twenties dropping some small bones. All my traveling chars (5) on various islands saw her.

Heh, Pharap also saw her.. Now what would happen if we attacked her? Some person in Sjo dropped dead? I remember one of the hammermakers could be attacked and it ended up in quite bad shape though I didn't have enough travelling characters to finish him off.. or was it her?

@ everyone:Please do not attack chars who are the victims of bugs because you as a player may be curious about the results. Rather, report the bug as has been done (thanks), and let the bug be taken care of by staff.

@Seko: I don't believe it would be in league with the CR for all of your travelling chars to randomly decide to attack a char that none of them likely have had any interactions with, and therefore likely have no reasons to decide to strike the person. Using all of your chars to exert your will as a player isn't fair, which I mention because you said you "didn't have enough travelling chars to finish him off..."

I can imagine that you'd be quite upset if one of your chars was suddenly dead at the hands of chars who weren't even actually near your char, because you were the victim of a bug.

Yeah sorry. People just hit strange things because they don't keep them as humans if they don't obey the laws of nature - no working on the roads. So they must be ghosts. ...And, come to think of it, only one of my chars attacked the hammermaker though another one considered it, since it was so strange.

Edit: I mean, they don't attack a strange character because they have found a mystical way of co-operating from a distance, but see "Oh, seems like somebody has managed to hurt that dude since it's wounded so I might just as well try my luck". I cannot free myself totally from OOC thinking though, no one can.

there could be new cult of women droping small bones on roads ;)
and about atacking... think about it like astral projection or bi location or multi location, or something, some character can mentaly fell that some danger from that character and hit her mentaly making her hurt in phisical plane... nice thing, that there some weird kind of astral projection in game :>

also there will be interesting if some person who recognize this character will see her and tell her about that, and.... if they will be unharmed and survive they should be famous ;)

well, i sometime belive that astral projection is possible, so maybe in furure there should be added thing to astral project to other places, and something like that bug should be considered as uncontroled astral projection or bi(multi)location.

Bugs should be dealt with as bugs.

Making bugs into SCI FI games, is not and does not feel like Cantr.

That should go under suggestions, I apologize for responding to the chit with chat.

When these bugs happen, your characters should not be hitting the character involved.

It is a basis to become contacted by the Players Department for abusing a bug if you do happen to allow your characters to hit the travelling character.

Just some FYI.

Yes. I agree and I understand what bugs are. But some newbie players can have no idea that this is bug and they can hit by mistake.

891-2: You see a man in his twenties take a note.

I just saw that with my road travelers, it seems to be more and more common.

I saw that too. Except I think it was a woman with one char. Which did confuse me...

I might be mistaken there though.

what if someone hit that person? can it make bug after bug? so there will be visible more characters on the road or on location where this character realy is?... This is question for Staff, and better noone would check it in practice in my opinion. I hope that will not corupting database.. or it is ok for database to chcnge description of that visible character?

Both of my characters who were traveling at the time also saw it.
