Briele walked outside of the Guild Library only to see people running around screaming something about slimes.

A small mob was practically attacking the stall that belonged a poor trader who came from Fuyu Machi.

"Toilet paper!!!!!! Give us toilet paper!!!! We need toilet paper!!!!!!!"

Briele wondered why all these silly individuals were so desperate to hoard toilet paper during a slime attack.

He shrugged.

Personally, Briele didn't think it was a big deal. Like, they were just slimes, right? One of the weakest monsters?

Honestly Briele thought that somebody should go on the city walls and try singing at the slimes.

The Trader reacts: "What in Sora's name is Toilet Paper!?"

There was a freestyle post where Okarin threatened Sora in a bathroom by ripping up toilet paper! :blob_happy:

April Announcements​

Happy April everyone! Here's a handful of announcements to toss around!

New Moderation Team
I'm very happy to announce that @Generic.Archdemon and @Nahrenne will be new moderators for Adventurer's Guild! Both of them are extremely dedicated, active, and friendly members of our player base, and I hope we'll be able to see the game continue to grow in fantastic ways! Like I previously mentioned, we are forming a moderation team (with @AliceShiki as an advisor) so we have greater consensus on how to deal with community issues. Specifically, the moderation team is focused on addressing:
  1. Overpowered characters
  2. Disagreements and disputes between players
  3. Monitoring the Reception Desk / other threads for concerning content
  4. Addressing complaints / suggestions about rules
For those of you were not picked, I really want to thank you for filling out the form and applying! I'm really happy that you care about the game so much to want to help out — although at the current time I'm mostly looking for players who are especially active.

Slime Raid
The slime horde raid is open! You can participate in it here!

It gives quite a lot of EXP as a reward, so check it out for sure!

Town Hall
In the next few days/weeks or so, I'd like to hold a Town Hall specifically on community issues. This PM will probably occur on a mega-PM.

Specifically, I'd like to address the power level system and solicit peoples' feelings about the current system. I'd like to hear how people think the system can be more fair / improved for everyone. I've gotten a few stray comments about X user(s) thinking Y user(s) characters are too OP — so I'd like to use this opportunity to come up with more clear-cut standards as a community.

In the meantime, you may end up receiving a PM from me (or another staff member) asking you to clarify an ability that your character has. If you receive a PM, you're not in trouble! We just to understand how you view the power-level system, and hopefully we can figure out some standards that fit the community as a whole.

There is also some opportunity to address any topics you feel are important, so tell me if you feel something extra should be on the agenda.

Meanwhile, tag me @ohko if you're interested in participating in the Town Hall so I know to include you in the PM!

Alrighty, update on Lizardmen Region

First, I've done a review of all posts that make a reference to the southern swamp / marshes / lakes / lizards.

There's been tons of stuff mentioned, including:
  • In general, this biome is a waterfall / lake / swamp / marsh / floodplain / wetland (a ridiculous ton of stuff)
  • Lots of oversized creatures (dangerous)
    • Giant Dragon-like Alligators
    • Giant Dragonflies
    • Giant Serpent
    • Giant Crocodiles
    • Giant Mantis
    • Giant Lizard Mounts
    • Giant Worm-like creature
  • There's also been other things
    • Swamp slimes or strangely-shaped slimes
    • Carnivorous vine plants (camoflodged)
    • Dangerous birds
  • There's been things mentioned about lizards
    • Human-eating lizards
    • Lizards who hunt fish
    • Lizards who are good at killing slimes using a soap substance called Burza
  • There's a human outpost that Felicia was stationed at
  • There's been mention of ravines, cliffs, sinking sand, sulfur-smelling pits...
In either case, there's an enormous amount of content available for subjugation quests, which can run in parallel with a greater plot of Western Lizards vs. Anti-Human Lizards.

I've used my creative interpretation to synthesize as much as possible to put together a map:



The general takeaways here are as follows:
  • Dozens of lizard tribes, not named - a handful of famous ones marked.
  • The western faction of tribes (Searocks + Salt Marshes + Southern Marshes) is the Sea Lizard Council, which is pro-human (and pro-trade) and allied with Scribel City. They are also the seat of the Lizardmen Adventurer's Guild. They have one main fortress called Albatross on the lake, which serves as the place where the council meets -- and also as a place where the allied tribes can take refuge in.
  • The eastern faction of tribes in the Swamplands are generally anti-human and more militaristic. They have several fortresses hidden in the swamps, which are both difficult to find and difficult to attack.
  • The Greater Marshlands and the Yellow Tree Wildlands are intended to be mostly wilderness. This is where all the giant oversized beasts will probably be placed (although the Swamplands will probably also get oversized beasts).
Planning a Rank E exam for this region (not rank D).

Level range will probably span level 3 - Level 10 ish

The quest board will be organized by location rather than by levels.

Content will involve lizard-lizard warfare in various different settings (lake battle :blob_aww: :blob_aww: :blob_aww: ), infiltration, espionage, among other things.

I am currently thinking that the villages will not all be ubiquitous. For example, there will be some Western Villages who are anti-human (secretly), and some Eastern Villages who are pro-human (secretly). There will be political plots about attempting to elevate the standing of those tribes higher on their respective councils so they have more power. Basically, backstabby diplomacy stuff.

As for the purpose of the factional war. Nominally, it's about trade with humans -- but frankly the true motives are that both factions are greedy, and the human issue is sort of a spark that lit the fire. They wish to conquer the entire lizardlands and unite it under a single flag so that the lizard lands can be great and powerful empire. :blob_paint::blob_paint::blob_paint::blob_paint:

Also would like to have something like a Lizard Olympics, just for the heck of it. Clearly, it should be called "Olyziard Competition".

Anyhow -- definitely hoping to solicit more content and ideas -- particularly players who visited the swamp in the past and would like to see something in the lizardland region! :blob_happy::blob_happy::blob_happy: Feed me more things that you want!

Some Updates / Announcements

Thank you to everyone who sent me feedback today! It's really helpful and valuable for me to hear people's thoughts about how the game can be improved so it's fun (and not stressful) for everyone. Please don't be shy to send me feedback, and it helps me a lot! :blob_hug:

First, I'm going to start with a review of recent news and rule changes in the past few weeks that you may have missed if you haven't been following the OOC thread:

+ + +

A. I'm recruiting a moderation team applications
I'm looking for players to help out with moderating the game. Fill out applications here!


B. Maximum of one A+ rank NPC per player
To avoid runaway numbers of powerful NPCs, there was a restriction so now every player can only have one A+ rank NPC.

If you made a powerful NPC and want to make another one, talk to @GM -- and we can make exceptions.


C. You can deduct EXP from your old characters when making new characters.
If you're making a new character and want them to be higher than level 1, you can deduct EXP from your existing characters and add 50% of that to your new character. For example, if you decide to trash your level 7 character (4200 EXP), you can create a new character who starts with 2100 EXP (Level 5). New characters still need to take Rank Promotion Exams to rank up.

You can also partially deduct EXP. For example, you can remove 1200 EXP From your level 7 character (4200 EX) and add 600 EXP to your new character to make a level 3 newbie. When deducting EXP from an old character, you should write something IC that indicates they got weaker (e.g. caught a disease, stabbed with a wound, lost an arm).


D. You need 3 players to open a new region
You can open a new region if you get references from 3 different players for a location.

There is a new change today - once you have three player references, PM @GM along with the 3 players who made the references -- and we'll talk about what the quest board looks like totally in advance. There won't be this annoying back-and-forth about what the in-character GM wants (or doesn't want), and instead we'll settle it all entirely OOC.

The planning for the new region will be done completely over PM with the players who did the initial region discovery.

Note: If it's for an emergency purpose (e.g. no higher rank regions available), @GM can waive the 3 player requirement to something like a 2 player requirement, but ideally 3 sources is best for diversity of ideas in the region.

E. Don't start big Scribel City events without community approval
Basically, don't throw a dragon attack at Scribel City unless you've talked about it OOC and the idea seems to be liked

A good rule-of-thumb to operate by is that you shouldn't pursue an event unless it looks like you have at least three players willing to participate in it. However, for particularly drastic events, @GM may veto a nuclear bomb falling on Scribel City. :blob_happy::blob_happy::blob_happy:

+ + +

Anyhow, that's it! Thank you everyone!

Yeah at first I was shy about making too many threads, but I feel like I'm starting to give up about keeping the number of threads small :sweating_profusely:

That said, we're running out of space on that hotlink header to include all the threads...

I feel like the announcement will be buried through things and if we go through an attempt to find it again :sweating_profusely:
Also most forums have a dedicated announcement thread~

Been around a month since I last shared the top records, so let's share them again~

For those that weren't around before, those are the scores keeping track of the longest reports people in this game made so far. It's not really a competition, but more of something I keep track of just for fun~ Though I may or may not have a secret goal of incentivizing people to make a 6 digit words report~

I added a bunch of stuff since the last time I shared the top records, and I also changed some stuff, so uhn...

Change log:
I increased the cap from top 3 to top 5~
I also added a part for Party Side Stories.

Things that I'd like to improve upon:
Some big side stories weren't included because there was no post compiling all the Freestyle stuff into one nice post, and I didn't feel like linking to something that didn't have a single link to it... So, if somebody wanna compile some old party Freestyle stuff into a single post, I'll gladly add it to the records~
I don't remember any other long appraisals aside from my own, if anyone can think of any, please do share! I wanted a minimum of 300 words though~
Zoey didn't update his exp in a while, so his exp count in the records is wrong... T.T

Stuff worth note:
I made an exception to the party quests and linked a 900ish words quest because we seriously lack party quests! >.<
For the exp%, I just wrote the number when it was at the lowest recorded % for that player, not their current exp. You also need at least 1000 exp to be listed. I wanted at least 70% to list someone.
I don't intend to list anyone else's shortest records unless they beat "Silent".

Ooooooooooookay, with this out of the way, onwards to the records~

Quests
Solo Quests:
Party Quests:
Side Stories:
Solo:
Party:
Bonus Records:
Lowest exp% earned from quests:
  1. Zoey - 9.4% (215/2296)
  2. AliceShiki - 35% (635/1815)
Smallest Reports:
  1. Epsil - 6 Characters (Silent)
  2. FenrIIrz - 8 Characters (Peaceful)
Longest Appraisals:
  1. AliceShiki - 504 Words ( https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/adventurers-guild-reception-desk.1640/post-41770 )
