An Act of the Cantr Gods

Postby Bowser » Sun Aug 15, 2004 10:55 pm

Over the years, my characters have encountered a few strange occurances that can only be attributed to a higher power....

Crag built a boat and set out to explore the lake... however he could not dock anywhere because docking had not been implemented or was currently down. Crag was stranded in a rowboat for years.

Crag stepped out onto a path to chase a thief. He lifted his sabre in the air... but just at that moment, the turn changed and somehow he ended up in the next town. It took one second to get there and 4 days to walk back.

Pete went outside of the Alenz Hills Mining Company one day and found they were now in Seatown, where ever that is. He went back inside to make sure he would not be stranded in this new land if and when the building went back to Alenz Hills.

HJ left to get wood and when he returned, a building called The Q-Inn was now in the middle of the garden. HJ helped a fifty year old man build a back room. He assumed the man built the house while he was gone. HJ left to get more wood and when he returned the Q-Inn was no longer there.

Mr White borrowed a boat, meaning to bring it back in two days. When he went to redock in town, he also got an option to dock on a some Lad Ship. He did that. He found he was unable to undock. He was finally able to undock, but was then stuck in limbo, unable to even speak to the woman on the boat with him. He finally returned to land a few years later.

Any other unexplained phenonima happening out there?

The only one I could think of is the Ghost that travels and makes things at the same time.

I had a character in the AHMC building when it went to..um..Pok, I think. Would have stayed, but they hadn't paid him yet...

Nothing big but here is some things...

During the days Krif was struck by assassins one of the people Silverfoot killed didn't show up as a dead body.
It caused quite a lot of distress to the Krifian soldiers when the body just vanished in thin air...

One of my characters was stuck in the middle of a road for over a week of playing time inside a vehicle that refused to move.
I RPd it as the vehicle tipped over and he got stuck under it. From that experience he met a woman that he later ended up marrying... :)

I also had a character on a ship dock to another ship without the possibility to undock again. They drifted for a long time, but lucky for him the ship he drifted along went towards Blojt...and that was the goal of his journey anyway :)

I forgot that a boat docked in Olipifirovash Forest and the people claimed to come from the island Sring-Sri. The forest borders a lake, not the sea, but Crag believed the boat crew when they said their boat somehow must have crossed from the sea to the lake through a secret buggy tunnel.

It's in Pok Desert (south) which is literally the middle of nowhere. My character has just come across it.

It's in Kirinn, where it hopefully belongs.

Can a man step outside one of those travelling buildings, pick up maps and display them in his home town. Would that be exploiting a bug or enjoying Role Play with bugs?

i think rping off glitches like that should be legal. the events should be rped as some sort of strange phenomena or miracle, not denied. it adds an interesting element to the game. covering it up almost seems to me a cr breach. the characters have no perception of what is a game glitch.

but of course i have no authority on the matter, i'm just trying to influence the decision...
