TOWN COUNCILLOR POOKIA HEEL TURN THREAD

yes, this game is fascinating. it has bubonic plague attacks?? was that like a scripted mini-event???

my guess is someone else attacked it and it ran away from them and died at me? that gross ass spell seems like something a sorcerer would do

there are like scripted events that happen in certain rooms or like when two npcs are with eachother because its just 30 years of adding and adding to this game and they barely ever take anything out like, unless its breaking something. i see something new EVERY DAY

i just remembered there was a thing at an RP event a few weeks ago where someone did a spell wrong trying to like, open some ancient seal it doesnt matter and it gave everyone the plague and they were just all scrollign the screen with their skin falling off and pustules bursting

oh man its gonna be so weird to play a game with graphics tomorrow

oh fuck i forgot to screenshot, theres a pitfighting event going on where its just text hoarde mode for a month and you can cheer people on, which i do, because i can harass anyone i want and they cant reach me

You stop watching Googly and begin watching Kayse in the arena, and see… *(the log didnt catch this because all the arena action i WATCH is in a different window)

yell tell em about yer campaign!
You belt out, “Tell em about yer campaign!”
cheer kay
You cheer on Kayse down in the arena!
An announcer shouts, “Our next combatant, Myharl, has entered the arena!”
Innez just arrived.
Innez just went southwest.
An announcer shouts, “Our next combatant, Daphren, has entered the arena!”
An announcer shouts, “Our next combatant, Mosco, has entered the arena!”
You hear Kayse call out from the dueling sands, “Tell me about yours!”
You hear Asben call out from the dueling sands, “Pookia for Town Council!”
Innez just arrived.
Innez cackles!
scream
You scream!

so now everyone in the arena knows im running even though i have not said out loud that im running yet

my friend gave me a bunch of free paid currency and i got a tube that catches sea animals and turns them into paper, gems, or candy so im going to make a bunch of sea-themed edibles so everyones zooted and thinks voting for me is a good idea

ive already got zooted like, being accepted as in-character slang (if you push a silly non swear hard enough it can become in world as its intrinsic to your character. and pookia is TOUCHED BY THE MOON so its half of my character to just, say and do weird shit all the time. zooted is canon)

anyway its a new system so its a LITTLE BIT BROKEN, not my perspective because i was too excited about my broken candy to screencap anything, thandiwe is one of the like, four people who actually get paid to work on this game

i apologized and said sometimes i have to do something again to remember what i did

uhoh

anyway NOW I GOTTA GO ON PEOPLES BOATS AND CATCH BUGS

SO FAR I GOT other : a pink-tipped condy anemone, some leathery blue gooseneck barnacles, an ebon-banded assassin snail-shaped candy chew, a spotted pale teal sea slug, a verdigris trapdoor snail

I’m too lazy to edit a wiki so I made a playlist instead. one adult contemporary song that I’ve never heard of to appeal to the retirees

oh also, because of my big mouth in game innez made me:

I get to design BUTTONS and a slogan for my campaign. I have handed out around 40 edibles so far which is like 1/5 of the player base. I’M GONNA GET THOSE VOTES

i get to design TWO SIGNS for TWO LOCATIONS and i get to design a crap ton of buttons to hand out during my campaign

well what are the rules for creating custom items in game?

BASICALLY you follow the 15/15/15 rule and add a long. that means three sections of 15 characters each for your base description, and then a long (60 characters) after

heres the site that i use to make sure my alters will pass quality check. what ive noticed so far in gemstone is you can get away with ridiculous custom concepts as long as they’re grammatically correct and stick with the 15/15/15 rule

so i have my two signs which are
a prominent pink placard that reads 'Professionalism. Progress. Puerility. POOKIA!

and

a pastel pink posted proclamation that reads "lifes a tree, lets jump together!" pookia for council 5122

now i have to make buttons

here are some past buttons

a vertebra bone button that reads, "Team Crux: Wrought from Sin, Born to Win!"

a small campaign button etched with a fiery meteor crushing a krolvin and the words, "Hapenlok for Mayor!"

an asymmetrically winged campaign button that reads, "Team Leafi: Embrace the Chaos!"

did you know??? bards in gemstone iv can sing to items to understand their magical properties and stats (you cant see stats on items unless they’ve been sung to by a bard) and when they sing songs to things, the verses have to rhyme! also if you rhyme land and hand your magic will fizzle, its been deemed TOO LAZY to rhyme hand and land
