Arena/Otherland ooc event.

Err, my planning post for the ooc event was in news discussion initially, whoops apologies >.>

Of the current responses, the only window of time is this upcoming saturday the 10th at 10 pm. A countdown is linked here https://a.chronus.eu/1C1A6B4

Feel free to toss out any ideas. I was thinking arena goofing around and as a window of time for any how to questions or test stuff without the pressure/horror of messing up an emote mid rp. (Though if we get four people I still wanna test if one can ride another character into combat)

I posted the arena commands below, which can be useful for setting skills or stats. Specificallyto test visually how stuff like tellmotes show up http://songofavaria.com:8080/mediawiki/index.php?title=Tells 

    From the account logged-in screen, you can enter the ARENA command to enter the
    play-testing arena. When you do this, you'll have a randomly-generated PC. These
    PCs will come with certain special commands that are available only to them.

    You can set a skill, or a stat, to be at a certain value. You can fully heal
    yourself. You can even load general items or animals.

    Usage:
        arena set <skill or stat> to <number>
        arena fullheal
        arena load
        arena scrub

    If a room is full of junk, you can use ARENA SCRUB to get rid of everything in
    the room that is dead, arena loaded, or marked as an easily-junkable trash item.

    Note: please don't clutter up the arena with a ton of unnecessary stuff. If you
    see things lying around that you could use, get those first before loading new
    things.

Thank you for setting this up! I've had some disastrous attempts to engage in combat today so I appreciate the chance to try out commands with help and support.

Looking forward to this tonight! Might be a little late due to some errands throughout the day but will see y'all there!

Hullo, another arena night if any are interested. No firm ideas for testing, but if there is a want to just test rp stuff/ask questions feel free to repond with that and most votes win to then consider it a faq kinda night. Feel free to toss any other ideas as well.

Going by whenisgood replies, April the 7th at 9 pm EST

A bump of just under two hours from now (chronus above with the countdown)

Thank you all for joining! Feel free to mention if there was anything else we tried.

Things we tried:

• Putting animals and people in a backpack, some success with an eel going on top. (maybe fish work being fish?)
• Riding someone riding another person: Does work. Additionally if the person riding gets ridden by the mountee, it turns into a recursive bug where you can't dismount. Buck or flop (couldn't tell which helped) was one of the two to get free.
• Pilgrim rescued someone stuck hugging themselves very tightly: grappling themselves. Don't grapple one's self lol.
• Being tackled takes into account their weight and your strength.
• Struggle rolls: Being carried or choked rolls strength/unarmed against strength/unarmed. That could really suck for low strength characters unable to escape without other stats/skills being utilized.
• Some of the other testing involved stuff I'm not going to write but will bug report, as those could be a bit exploitive without tweaks.
• If you are riding a mounted animal and trample others, it makes your animal start combat with *you* and not them.
• Massage boosts grace/finess but seems to be random between gentle/firm despite what is chosen.
• Bruise palm being crafted didn't seem to work (I didn't try but saw attempts)

-Not tested, but discussed commands some were not aware of, of cobitation and pemit. I don't see pemit on the wiki but 'help pemit' will show in game

    Private emits can be sent to you by staff members, and usually
    contain information that only you would see. When you see them,
    they will start with 'You notice:' and be colored bright yellow.

    However, once you have developed a relationship with another
    character, you can use the pemit command with them specifically.
    It will be tagged with your name, and you can use it to relay
    information that only they would know due to the manner of
    the relationship.
 

• And the cohabitation helpfile http://songofavaria.com:8080/mediawiki/index.php?title=Cohabitation

Has information on sharing rooms, and how it can be a tool to help tell stories as plot notes can be used to other characters within.

• Up to six characters can be considered cohabitants. If you cohabit with someone, you are also cohabiting with everyone else in the habitation. You can consider this an inner circle (though potentially without the implied trust).
• Cohabiting does not in itself grant privileges such as the ability to share rent on a lodging, or to receive separate keys for a room shared by the cohabitants. In order to receive specifically lodging-based benefits, a character will need to be set as a roomate
