I am currently in the makings of creating a Pern MUX... I have a lot
of ideas which I think will make it vastly different from any Pern MU
I know to exist (Although, I admit I do not keep track of all of
them).
I want to make this game as different and interesting as I can, and
thus, I wanted to get your guy's input, Gamers and non-gamers, as to
what you'd like to see in the game. So far, these are the 'for sures'
that will be happening:
Code-controlled Dragon Impression -Little to no OOC control over who
Impresses. Same with colors (Golds will be manually made as
necessary).
People will also have stats that affect who they are ICly and how good
they are at various things.
Coded Crafts - Clothing and everything will be made objects using the
Code intended - Now, Crafter PCs have a /reason/ to exist and be RPed
with! Energy and an economy will be installed.
'Genetics' Within the dragons - The dragons will have genes
controlling their shades, colors and even how they look. Various
bloodlines can be vastly different. People will have this to a point
too.
Name Generator - All dragon names come from a massive compilation of a
list of names. If you REALLY dont want one, or want a special name, we
can of course change it.
Instariders - Slightly trickier to get, but definitely acceptable.
'Transfers' are welcome though they would have to conform to Theme of
course.
Division of IC/OOC responsibliity - Goldriders are responsible ICly.
They can choose not to have anything to do with the OOC running of the
game if they want to.
IC selection of Weyrwomen/Weyrleaders - Code is being established so
that IC opinions influence the Mating Flights, with a random chance
thrown in. (Rules will be put into place OOCly of course to ensure
that the player will behave accordingly and not be a twink). Similar
code is run for all Mating Flights too.
Politics - This is always a tricky one, but I do intend for some
political happenings to occur. It all depends on the players of
course.
Roster - Characters can be given up or donated to a Roster, to be
played by new players or old players who want to change. I am also
considering having dragons be Playable by others (Although with high
restrictions due to problems with 'death' and other things I hear
about on other games). Rostered character (feature characters) will
also be made available for those who want to try an idea made by
another.
So... what do you guys think? Does it have a chance if made correctly?
What kind of era would you think be interesting? I was thinking the
First Interval, and actually build the Weyr itself now that the
dragonriders dont have Thread to worry about. As Thread dies off, the
Holds become a little rebellious, and without machines, we must dig
and design the Weyr ourselves, the players.
I want ideas, suggestions, critiques - Not all will be taken of
course, but if I can get a good amount of positive ideas and
interests, I can more appeal and make this idea a great one. I was
thinking of Telgar or Igen as the main weyr, and expand out from there
as need be.
PS - anyone who is interested in staff, once we're ready to begin
building (We're currently apprehending the code needed), can contaact
me too ;)
