I am looking for people to give me ideas for things to add... and soon alpha testers. This game is going to be a RPG... STRICT ROLEPLAY. I still have a lot to add into my game.... Icons, mobs, skills, towns, ect. If you would like to be a GM... 10 randomly selected Alpha testers will become GM's when it goes Beta. So I hope you people will join up and help me out.

Ohhh, I have an idea, Get rid of GM's. Make youself the only gm, and only give host options (3 or 4) to hosts. Removes the [censored] attitude that most people get when they get their "I'm special because i'm a GM" sticker.

Check that out for some very interesting points on GM. It's a must read article for anyone making a game with GM's. Anyway, as for the game. I advise you read some gamedev.net articles on game creation. BYONDscape has a lot of good BYOND based articles. | |
I just read silk's gm thingy... and I will still be have 10 GM's... trust me... they wont be having GREAT powers.... they will only have verbs to fix players.... teleport... and summon.... thats about it
| |
Which are the exact annoying skills i'm talking about. Someone teleporting in an RPG is about the worst thing you can do, and i've seen some pretty bad things.
| |
Teleporting is only to help players who are seriously stuck... and it will be explained to them.... trust me... I dont like the teleporting idea either... and the summon is for tournies if I decide to have em
| |
I agree that you SHOULD have more GM's than just yourself and the hosts. However, I think 10 may be a bit too much, and choosing them by random, as you said, is just plain stupidity. You need some because you can't live on there the whole time so you need some under-studies, but you should only choose very trusted people or close friends to be GM.
~Ease~ | |
I'll gladly alpha test for and I can't really give any Ideas because I haven't seen what's in the game yet. Some general ideas I can gave is the option of having and contolling computer allies. Allow an option for 1 on 1 duels between players. that's all I can really say.

I would make a good GM because I said so. JK. If any of you knew me way back when I hosted for others or my games I never missused my GM powers to me it can take the fun out of the game. Just had to add me Piece :P
| |
Well code... you just might get your shot at my game... cuz I do remember you... and yes you are a good GM... but this game is STRICT RP... everyone will abide by it... even GM's. Also... I have limited the GM's power down to not have teleport or summon.

SilentFoe Why do people suddenly feel that they are able to spontaneously create a corporation? A corporation is a legal entity, and there are some legal actions that you must perform in order to create one. While there's nothing wrong with creating a team name for yourself(ves), you should tread a bit more lightly when suddenly calling yourself a corporation. | |
You might want to add an OOC command for all players so they can use that for Out Of Char or IRL conversation.. and then they should be able to configurethemselves so if they want, they can see the ooc.. that way they can be compleatly immersed in the game. Bah...
I is builder/coder on MUD.. MUD good.. GM bad.. FQO good.. LexiMUD bad... | |
make like a /stuck camand that will make you go to the noob city or the okace you whant then to go but make it so she can only use its like 2 times a day so they will not abuse it
| |
Been a while since I posted... and I have cut GM's of most all power... besides "FIX", "INFO", "ANNOUNCE", and a few other commands. I will be adding the OOC on and off command soon. And when I said randomly picking GM's... it was actually meant for my friends... but seems not many of them read MY MESSAGES!!!!!!!!!! >_< This game will be getting a bit better... but dont expect to see it anytime soon... (having computer problems)

The only powers a GM should ever have are:
Announce Ban Boot Warn *GM_Sleep *This is a special GM Idea I had a couple of months ago. GM characters should be independent of players, if the GM wants to play the game, make him create a normal player. This cuts back a little bit on the ability to abuse his powers. It also makes the players a bit more nervous, because any normal player can be a GM awaiting in disguise... Better be good just in case... | |
