  1. I'd be up for some kind of option for "custom unique" items. Say, you create a fantastic sword. Not imping, not boning, just straight out "create". Even then I'd suggest only a list of items, like weapons or tools. Definitely not for fantastic string of cloth. And even then I'd be okay if the game itself selects the name from some list, like we get for horses. Event spawned items and critters are unique and should remain so. They carry a story and history from that event. I managed to take home a Holy Cow from the Shrimpalong and damn I'm happy! There's a Holy Cow in my yard. Holy Cow!
  2. Download them all, easier to use and gives better zoom than viewing from the drive.
  3. Proves me right once again, you don't care what other players do or what plans other players have. If not a GM, then you don't care. There was no existing highway. We didn't need GM approval to build a new highway. We had not asked for heritage site. It was work in progress. Information was on the signs and clearly visible. (gahhhh, feels like beating a dead horse again, I hope this to be last time) You came, you didn't care, you stopped our work, you didn't care to help us recover. This is same if someone puts houses on your perimeter "by accident" and you cannot expand (just an example, I have no intention to do it). Anyway. If you have no personal agenda and your true goal is to improve the local business and community, may I ask, how's it been going so far? Your Newspring outpost is now two years old, how many merchants are there this day? Not asking for financial data or anything, just some public knowledge.
  4. Ayes, you've actually hit the nail on the head. You get along well because you have shared, or share, a common interest in improving the local area. Obviously, if one wants a road and other wants a road in the same place, then what's there to fight about? However, the drama around Newspring (and other starter deeds) has begun with difference of opinion, how the local area should or could be developed. People who have lived in the area for many seasons and who have developed that said area, who have local alliance and shared interests - one day they find an outsider, all the way from other map edge, come and start "improving" the infrastructure in their backyards. Without really any feedback from the locals. With no intention to permanently reside there himself; only to make a trading outpost. Takes no social scientist to figure out how explosive that formula is. Ehh, might as well... my "sob" story, whoever cares... Personally I am not against his market empire. No, let him build, let him develop. Wurm needs visionaries. The problem is how he's doing it. Jumping to an orchard, chopping down all trees, building a big tower, declaring "this is better!" and then forcing all the peasants to praise your work is not how you make people smile (orchard, tower and peasants are here as a figurative illustration and not a reference to any specific incident in Wurm). Sila himself keeps repeating "for the better of community". If we read all the feedback from Newspring people in this thread - which community is now feeling better? "Deed it or leave it" "There is nothing to discuss." "We know what is best for Newspring island" (I sense sarcasm there, but who knows) -Sila, 2019
  5. So.. Someone is mean to you.. and the conclusion you make is - this is totally OK and this is how the game should be played and you should do the same to others? W o w . . . I am confused. Isn't this what people are trying to do here, and your reponse is "deed it or shut up"?
  6. Please remove: Fo's light Principium Tranquil Coast
  7. Sila, dear Sila. The issue I've personally experienced with you is that you like to "improve" everything as you want and don't really take into consideration what other people in that area may think. You love to bulldoze in, do your thing, and then declare "I have made it better!" but somehow everyone in that area gets into fights with you. And you do that everywhere. Have you never thought there's something wrong in that picture? Talk to the local public. Ask for thoughts and input. Negotiate. Trust me, people will even want to help you! Yes, it's a sandbox. Yes, the land is free for all. But it is also a MULTIplayer. This means there are other people. This means there are social interactions. We're not just pixels on the screen. We have plans too, we want to improve our home areas too. We even put up signs saying "work in progress, please contact [playername] with questions". But you don't care, you do what you think is best and destroy the plans and work of other people. You even do it miles away from your deeds. Just because you can, does not always mean you should. Happy New Year, wurmians!
  8. I attached a silver Fo rune ("Okay glow", 5% skill level bonus) to a supreme mountain lion statue, which was previously painted. The glow rune didn't show effect at first, I had to turn/move the statue. Then it started glowing, but paint effect disappeared (even though it still showed custom dye on examine) After removing the dye and painting again, it stopped glowing and showed the paint. On the right, no rune: Colors: R=228, G=130, B=24. Ql: 37.613968, Dam: 0.0. On the left, runed: This is a supreme example of the item, with fine details and slick design. Colors: R=228, G=130, B=24. Ql: 99.0, Dam: 0.0. A silver rune of Fo has been attached, so it will have an okay glow and increase skill level on skill checks (5%)
  9. I am not going to let the year end without bumping this again! Maps! Rabble rabble rabble!
  10. Hi. Could you please reserve the rest (4300) to Fireriders, he will be able to pick up in about 18-20 hours. If the 5k becomes available, then instead of 4300 please reserve 5000 to him. In game Fireriders, forum @FireRider
  11. Umm, I only got the thing from it when I picked it up... where else should I see it?
  12. A small request or suggestion to the devs - could you make the snowman "openable" without having to pick it up? Please? Happy ho-ho-holidays!
  13. I've always been telling people - seals are evil. They roam our lands as if they owned it. They kill our cattle. They grief the weak. But this night they brought a bloodshed as never before. Mercenary army! Combined with heavy infantry and ranged tacklers they launched an attack we had not foreseen and tried to capture a tactical position on our island to secure their beachhead. Many heroes died this night. But when the Sol rose and laid the warm light over the battlefield, there was silence. We had won.
  14. I've been thinking it's my mouse somehow acting up, because it's happening to me as well. For example, I embark a ship and in event window it gives me the "Examine" results.
  15. Looks like in 18 hours and 30 minutes I will have to build me a nice supreme Vynora statue. Nefer will not be happy about!
  16. Nobody has to like you. You don't have to like everyone. Everyone likes what you do. Learn to accept and let go. ?
  17. Rift - 5 December

    /me runs to investigate the mysterious blue dot Can't ignore it!!
  18. Either way, someone had to know, but they didn't say anything or were overruled for reasons we're not told (maybe that's why they left the group, or were made to leave?) Even if you, Hailene, had no part and are really a blue eye'd justice seeker for your "rules" (unfortunate for you), I stand to my judgement - greed. *pokes the horse one more time* I only see one other person kind of siding with Hailene. *yup, dead as dead*
  19. People still do nice things. Impalongs, newbie recruiters, public infrastructure projects. Those are selfless, nice things for community. But come on, you're talking about "helping the community" when there's a group of people who take it up to themselves to decide, who gets to take part in slaying the dragon and who is not welcome. Once someone is "in", they're not allowed to attend public or other out-of-group slayings (in P&R) anymore. That's not helping the community; that's dictating. If your group really wanted to help the community, all slaying were public and all loot was always rolled to everyone on the kill list. I find it hard to believe not a single person in your group knew of OR's origin. Someone must've known it was "against the rules", he hasn't exactly been living quietly under a rock. But he was allowed to join and several people left (your words) due to that. You haven't explained that part, I guess there's dirt you don't want to reveal. You should start shaming those that didn't say "Wait, doesn't he live in Independence?"
  20. Can close, auction ended, I'll have to build it myself! Drats!
  21. Just curious, isn't OR mostly Indie habitant? What made you accept him to the PR group? It just has "greed" written all over it. You let OR join you, because him being a rival was not good for "business". You let him join, even if it meant losing several of your current members. Loyalty and group friendship was sold for more uniques. Shame on you. Wouldn't expect much sympathy.
