    Just a few more ideas.
    • The ability to sell things to other players.
    • Trading as a Skill.
    Harsher penalties for killing Peaceful Intenders?

You are Manticore, a native from Rakmogak. 2025-12-07 15:49 You attack the zombified bat with a wooden club for 3 damage. You gain 3 XP. It dies. You gain 4 XP.
They're probably not gonna effect any :Funny_Face_by_pro_amateur: final re/scores?

General Discussion / Re: Shartak Veterans: share your stories!

Alrighty, well, coffee first. :coffee: Okay. Introduced to UrbanDead by a fellow Shade {mmwrpg} player name of YeloSnow. Hung in there for a bit, the much more level playing field, everyone being sitting ducks made room for alot of quid pro kills, you stab my back I stab yours, and it was contentful there. Then er there, I think it was, I saw an ad for Shartak in UD's bottom left side. I was on a late stage nearly dead WebTV at the time so my options for Online Gaming were saaad. Even for back then the time of limited choices anyways lol. :grandpa: I joined on in, from then it was a blur of personas, none of them I could fully settle into, mostly many based on my favorite TV Shows of the times. :motz: You might know a few. I sided with whoever sided with me, not knowing about the "you're not supposed to talk them them or we grief you" rules too well. :mfr_lol: Same everywhere really. Doesn't stop me from being nice to those nice to me. Started with 3, but inner restlessness and unexplored character approaches led me to pretiring alot of otherwise quite tolerable choices of potrayals. Many other times I thought I was just plain done, bored or stressed, otherwise not having alot of gaming fun gaming. :hurr: Game stressure's never worth the blood pressures. Many times I wasn't sure Simon even wanted me in here, hit to miss percentages got suspiciously wonky at times, waking up surrounded by tigers etc, lol like wtf. To this day, still not sure, but I am open to him politely asking me to leave, lol. :Sparta: I also run by the rule if you politely ask me to stop killing you I will, I don't kill peaceful intenders, and I try to save as many friendlies as I do enemies to the cont(r)acts list. I don't totally feel like a veteran, having switched faces and races so much I didn't set down roots, but to the halfhandful of folks that did know most of the me from then to now that was enough for me. :ninja: I've seen the tides of many different colors of outsider surf ebb and flow, the growth and decline of cultures of native flora influence the terrain, it's a great place to log in on the morning routine, do a few action points worth of mischief, and then resume that IRL game called "Life". :kittysleepsmilie: No, not a veteran, but maybe a proficient newbie. :hijack:

The old forums, I wish I could have rescued my stories from there before the :explode: nuke.
As sad as I was to lose the old forum threads, which were truly unmatched in creativity from some remarkable players, I was glad that it also erased the black spots that Cobalt alludes to, RP gone too far, etc
Typed words lose inflection and rely on nuance the silence of print cannot rescue. :coffee:

I was wondering this morning if all the island's mysteries have been found yet when I found another this morning. :sherlock: Sacred space area, around the ruins. :shifty: It reminds me of the cavern system that was there before the ruins there were so thoroughly ruined. :coffee:

You dig a hole with your shovel.
You find 1 rifle and 6 bullets in the hole. You gain 141 XP.
Congratulations! You found the treasure mentioned in map 10955. You crumple the map up and discard it.
I'll never to this day completely understand the magicks of the island.

Well hells,

You examine the treasure map. The creases on the map are well set.
You appear to be at the location marked. Time to start digging for treasure!
and yet when I do, it's

The hole is too deep. If you were to dig any deeper, you wouldn't be able to get out!
so Treasure map #10955 is a bust.  :pirate:
