#The Grand Auction of 5123 (Part 1)
1 messages ยท Page 6 of 1
I like how there's a new automated auction so less gms need to be involved, but ultimately there will be even MORE there just watching.
fire rolton
You load your urnon shotgun with an angry swarm of BEEEEEEES!.
You take aim and fire an angry swarm of BEEEEEEES! at a rolton!
AS: +2670 vs DS: +5 with AvD: +30 + d100 roll: +97 = +2792
... and hit for 1174 points of damage!
Strike punctures thigh and shatters femur!
The rolton bleats loudly as she collapses to the ground in obvious pain and favors her mangled left hind leg.
The rolton lets out a final agonized bleat and dies.
The BEEEEEEES! sticks in a rolton's left leg!
Roundtime: 2 sec.
Haha
I bid 12 silver
reserve was 13, sorry
i think we found out first integer cap item!
Give me a repeating scorpion I can deploy like Tachanka
Your AS is almost as high as @analog gull
You take aim and fire a boomstick shell at a rolton!
AS: +41601 vs DS: +25 with AvD: +30 + d100 roll: +74 = +41680
... and hit for 17697 points of damage!
Incredible shot to the eye penetrates deep into skull!
The rolton collapses to the ground, emits a final bleat, and dies.
The shell sticks in a rolton's left eye!
Roundtime: 2 sec.
He's dead, Jim.
poor rolton
The resistance to the year of the rolton is here.
it was supposed to be THEIR year - a damn shame
You carefully strap your boomstick to your strap. It rattles against the banhammer strapped to it, and you carefully adjust them.
"locked and loaded"
what about your HMC mallet?
Okay, what am I doing, I'm not even ready for this auction, BYE
he upgraded it to the banhammer
They don't need an auction today, we can put it off to tomorrow.
^
Pre-destressing
This looks very much like a Boom Stick. I like it.
changing the collar to "A golden melody of tinntinnabarum" or whatever tha word was
Okay, yeah, sorry everyone. Auction postponed because Tamuz and I are going to have a gun fight against the rising rolton population.
you heard it! auction's post-poned until 11AM!
As long as it's for a good reason nod
Rolton Uprising
When are you going to start selling the wholesale Rolton meat?
Elanthian pistols confirmed to be in the auction, spread the word
You have hand crossbows!
Wyrom... stop typing and get on with making me a blink bow for the auction.. go man
Has there been any update to the disconnect issue?
Oh, concerning my PIE BOX. The demeanor check is not 100% going into this. Please don't use your power for too much evil before that's resolved.
our PIES will blot out the sun
people with demeanor cold are most deserving of being hit in the face with pies typically
"too much evil"? there's such a thing?
Yes, that was resolved but the sign still has a warning just to not do weird stuff.
I want to win the pie box just to drop it in the well
Don't make this weird.
World saved.
Don't do weird stuff to the pie...I saw a movie about this once
guess i gotta buy it now
Unban Ycelacie for a day so Ordim can throw pies at her
Trust me, yea dun wanna do tha....
I need the pie box to get revenge on Retser for all those pumpkins to the face.
Ordim : Pie Assassin for higher
The Frosting assassin - keep the secret
Pie box is going to make the next GM staff meeting real funny before it gets fixed.
Ordim: Please Place Pie Pummelling Procedure Promptly.
Pie projectile prepped, proceeding promptly - procedure prepared, plotted, positioned, PROCEED
PLOP POW
(you forgot poison)
POOF
SEASONING! (spice)
YOU WILL ALL TREMBLE IN FEAR OF THE GNOMISH PIE-INATOR BEFORE THE DAY IS DONE!
wow even GMs aren't allowed holsters ๐
You put a lor water cannon in your water cannon holster.
Just gotta get a tardis for them alters
You can't afford it if he makes this
if the person who buys the pie box gets banned for abusing it before the safety is added, what happens to the box? is it randomly thrown at one of the victims?
it gets reverted to throwing entire towns at people
Then we consider the pie experiment a failure.
I'm going to buy it and use it to terrorize everyone into rebuilding The Pie Shop: Pie down and rest weary warrior
I know arshwikk. But at least I'd make my fellow ranged friends happy. If it were a crossbow I still couldn't afford it but there would be less competition... maybe??
rolls up alt named Piespotter
For sure on the crossbow. To be clear on the bow, I couldn't afford it either, lol.
That's a lie. You could make ot happen
It canโt be done currently
Nah, I spent over 400m of my silvers during DR and have been too busy with work to even make a strong effort to recover. I'm not worried about it. Maybe there will be something less insane I can afford though.
Itโs not been possible. Probably currently still isnโt.
@desert pilot "and an AUCTION RULES SIGN YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY READ" - they have the technology! your maul is no longer just a dream!
NEED!
but now I only have 9m silvers so I'm not sure they'll even let me in the room.
I would be happy if an 8x bow with an S5 could hit a demon...that doesn't even work, so...
Sanctified needs to be fixed to work on demons for sure
Especially since at S6 you can't bless it anymore
You currently have no open bank accounts.
You currently have 0 inter-town bank transfer options available.```
LETS GO!
Good news is you can bid on stuff with 9m!
just gotta be real fast?
steal sign
You may not steal here.
well....phoo!
Nordreded!
1 hour 9 minutes
do you have to be inside by 7?
Does it make a diff if you bring coins or a note? I donโt want of all over with coins lol
nope - just keep the note in your hand
if you bring a note you won't be encumbered
the boost REALMS SILVER will allow you to use the BANK TRANSFER CONSOLIDATE command. PSAs for you. (It consolidates all your character's bank account into your current local account).
Also turning on your REFUSE SILVER flag is a good idea tonight.
Yeah the realm boost and consolidate was very handy today as I raided my five other characters bank accounts lol.
It's too late for more spoilers, right?
If you give people silvers just to try to disqualify them, I will make you come sit in time out with me
When worn, the [redacted] appears in the wearer's features and permanently enhances their [redacted].
It is set to appear behind the wearer's right ear. Being made of white ora, it represents the moon Liabo.```
You know you can just have us bid on private time to feature creep stuff, right?
about to say, that promise could backfire horribly
I assumed so, and I'd also prefer not to risk it at all.
negative
Isn't that just discord
Yeah but in game you are closer to the code
Will the door open early for the neurotic among us? Asking for a clearly increasing number of people.
You whisper to your pie box and sense that the magic in the box was successful. Canofwyroms was hit in the face with a lemon custard pie dusted with arathiel butterflies near the Lower Dragonsclaw or somewhere close to it.
Roundtime: 1 sec.
You see Canofwyroms.
He appears to be a Human.
He is short. He appears to be very young. He has ale-brown eyes and alabaster skin. He has a bald head. He has smudges of a lemon custard pie dusted with arathiel butterflies streaked across his face.
see, now I can leave the auction satisfied even if I don't win anything
lol
Why are YOU in timeout?
The pie box radiates a brilliant glow. It has a lemon custard pie dusted with arathiel butterflies loaded within. You need to wait 3,541 seconds before whispering to your pie box again. The last name whispered was Canofwyroms. It has been successfully whispered to 6 times.
teleporting pies. That's brilliant.
if I win the box, i promise to shenanigans
this makes me want a makeup gun ala the simpsons
hit me up, we can make some fun pies
my basketifier is ready
This is a magical pie box that can be loaded with almost any pie. You can then WHISPER to the box a name of someone in Elanthia and send a pie to hit them right in the face! There are certain factors that will make it so the person you're aiming for can't be targeted. If the person is far away, it will be a little more messy and come with an hour cooldown. If they are there with you in the room, it won't be as messy, but no cooldown!
To load a pie, simply PUT [a pie] IN box. You can LOOK at the box to check the status.
There are some pending updates to add demeanor checks and messaging to this pie box, please use it responsibly!
Homer, women won't like being shot in the face.
I added the pending updates to the ANALYZE
"He has smudges of lemon pie tasting vaguely of disappointment and parental letdown..."
what does "responsibly" mean?
wait until you can top pies with ice cream
Oh I know. I've been hoping for that for years now though.
Probably "don't use this to harass people."
it means outbid Ordim
Ready to fill in 7 cells of the auction spreadsheet?
YAS
As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the faenor ivy vine charm in your hand...
The charm resonates with your voice, indicating that it enhances its owner in the following ways:
It provides a boost to Ranger Spell Circle.
there it is
...well thas no fun
Ooooh spellbook pinworns?
+5?
oh, well, that...um. yeah, very nice item for someone not me.
Unpresence scrolls and imbeddibles shoot up in price 500x
just use on a warrior alt with KS
Once it's worn, can it be taken off again? I spy the word "permanently"
o_O
Also it looks like it's bugged. It says redacted instead of where it should say the spoiler
Scarab = bugged
then you wear it and become bugged
||[Redacted]||
Every time
Never trust the box
the formatting didn't seem to work in the block quote, but maybe i'm challenged
Does it take up an inventory slot?
Unless it's Casils redacted box, he has proven trustworthy of proper spoileries
it is pinworn
bless you for doing work
I appreciate that the teleporting pies have an implied velocity determined by distance
are there gonna be any freebies?
You can smell the silver for free.
Wyrom may award free test pies, to ensure the item is working properly!
the real freebies are the friends we made along the way
sometimes there's spins and stuff
when the weight of everyone's silver causes a sinkhole, there may be opportunities for free silvers
Once they get all the coins in one place.... BOOM
I'd much rather free stuff be in a giftbox to prevent the entire game population from trying to cram in a room
sadly, structural engineers haven't been invented yet
1mil silver worth $100per
a pie so large it could destroy the world
Or fire marshals
98%, I believe is the last I heard.
This is a mostly complete list with a great deal of speculation:
https://gswiki.play.net/Grand_Auction_of_5123/lists
It might be missing a thing or two
Pending updates in analyze should actually be a thingโฆlike if something has a bug that a fix is being worked on, etc.
We are actively working on a fix. Itโs coming RSN
I wonder if it is a list that is known to be missing 2% of the items which will show up or a list that is known with 98% accuracy to be complete. Because those are very different things!
what is Tamuz' 7 set?
Spellbook enhancives
interesting.. the full +50?
Oh boy, here come the silver.
Dunno
what's the sitch wade
I turned all my silvers into lichcoins, will they be accepted?
Suddenly there was a rush on bank withdrawls, hah
"Heals the user based on movement, cat-themed fluff" ?
Fortunately, the Elanthian banking system is structurally sound.
Your silver is perfectly safe in Elanthian banking establishments.
Is the Elanthian banking institution safe from a mass withdrawl situation?
Yes!
too big to fail
Your silver is held on a 1:1 basis and not reinvested in any way, shape, or form.
FDIC insurance up to 2,147,483,647
....i'm still waiting for my interest
I tried to get my several billion out earlier and they were like "sorry the best we can do is 2,147,483,647"
that would explain the terrible state of the infrastructure
with all these properties going out, mortgages would be huge
The Auction Rules Sign should have a look of "YOU SHOULD REALLY READ THIS SIGN!"
All they asked was a small fee for issuing notes, but alas.
We're going SVB, everyone. We're starting the IOUs.
pie on yous
to soon, probably
Can I use my FRC stock to buy items? It's likely the only value I'm going to get out of it at this point.
forums are gluten-free. i mean gif-free
I will offer 1 pie for the stock.
Auchand promoting RMT!?
what we up to?
does the note exchanger still charge a fee?
-1,374,375,002, thanks to integer limits, Elanthia is saved.
lol
just to be sure, the notes can be any bank, right?
Yes
yeah, the uber wealthy will just open coin hands
it's wrapped around probably multiple times
Bidding won't count what's in coin hands. Has to be on you in silvers or notes.
We had a huge auction at work (boarding school) over the weekend, so I ended up talking about this with a colleague who was only half-listening and she was really confused why we would be selling magical items to parents.
"What do you mean a cat bell that heals you as you walk? I don't think the parents would approve of putting a collar on their children."
LOL.
Heck that, leash the children
39 minutes!
how does that cat bell work? is it only blood healing or does it reduce wounds and scars too?
Is the warehouse there/open?
does it matter where your note is from
we just hanging outside right now, playing with the SIGN
Wait, do we need to travel to WL for this?
Yar
No it doesn't matter where it's from.
Yes, you do.
it's in the middle of that island in fwi. gotta row your way there!
GET RUNNING
Does nobody read the PINS
Yes
Whales have poor eyesight, you're exc...
I'm waiting for the auction on the flotilla
Only when im searching for information lost to the abyss of 1000 posts
I love the flotilla I just don't love getting there
Especially since it seems to just go east
Location/directions to auction warehouse are now on the main page for the auction, since some people don't use Discord, so don't know how to get there.
I was under the impression there would be teleporting involved but I am not an event organizer
it's rare that people even read the game
this is a game !?
Discord never had a chance
--- Lich: could not find script 'whereami' in directory C:/Users/Suprimacy/OneDrive/Desktop/Lich5/scripts Welp idk where we are either
I think there was supposed to be, but things changed.
As long as I wasn't completely wrong the entire time
i cant even read - thats why i only buy items with ascii show descriptions
some people do, but i've found if you have a person on ignore, you may not see their comments in the pins. ๐
is Naamit saying something? I can't see
and in all honesty - ive been checking the pins everyday for updates, so thank you for adding things to then ๐
Naamit blink twice if you can read this
also, why is WL covered in tightly bound acantha, what is the city council doing about it? (as a visitor i am unimpressed)
[Announcement: The Grand Auction of 5123 Part 1 starts in roughly 30 minutes. Please make sure you have your silver (in either coin or note form) on you before entering. The entry is located in the Wedding Glade outside Wehnimer's Landing. There is an OOC sign there you should read. The warehouse to get in will be closed shortly after 7pm ET. It will open periodically throughout the night. Passing silvers in any form will disqualify you from the auction. Good luck, have fun!]
get excited!
Giving Ordim power of edit on a Pin, i forsee pie
Open the warehouse!
Someone emptied their herb kit and it's gone EVERYWHERE
@wyrom just checking, but everything passed today will go into the RoL auction?
As funny as that would be, I have a weird thing about not doing stuff like that. I may be a volatile, annoying, etc etc, but I stand by my reputation of providing somewhat reliable information and backing all business deals.
Yeah.
are we over 60 people with >100m yet? how about 100? hah
Yes, but the real question is--dangit Vaemyr
lol
Same reason why it's not safe to auto track this on login is now upon us. So it's not easy to look.
Can you tell how many silverlydoos are in the land right now?!
>go ware
Where are you trying to go?
Nope, it's rolled over too many times.
what about just how many notes?
he probably can't due to it going negative/positive and back like 10-20-30 times
wealth list all
Any notes work, correct? If there is a pinned answer, I missed it
yes
Yes, any notes work. Not, yes, there is a pinned answer that you missed. ๐
Just clarifying.
set refusesilver on
You will now automatically refuse any silvers offered directly to you.
Did plat silvers roll over the integer limit? ๐
lol
so... everybody is here with our silvers... is the part where everybody dies and we get our silvers stolen in this grand scheme setup? ๐
not if it's in note form!
the doors are open
Every time!
The floor creaks under your feet.
Haliste was able to help me ensure that the T5 Thaumaturge Tome will be going out today.
You can't drag an AUCTION RULES SIGN YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY READ!
It's probably safe.
awww, no mystery item opener? that was the best
Different auction methods!
``` who kidnapped Doenay
how many people on in prime?
783
in the room? uhhh a lot
not too bad
How 'bout Plat?
More than during DR, I think!
76 in plat
Its a new record!
lol
8 minutes!
[Announcement: This is the last announcement about passing silver off and making sure you have it for the auction! Anything done after 7pm ET cannot be at the auction! The warehouse will close just after 7pm ET as well. No late entries until we periodically open it up.]
are we supposed to be able to inspect the slug
Ew.
im inspecting it - a lot
Auction time is nigh!
sooooooon
rsn
7pm!
this is the perfect time for a game crash that makes everyone lose what's in their hands
suddenly registers promissory note
HERE WE GO
the lights dim
gird self
snack in hand, drinks by my side, lets do this
How long til you tell us how much silver is present in the room?
80 logged in on plat. 0.0
Still less than 60 with 100+ mil?
it was over 100 a while ago
We're closing up!

it'll be interesting to see how people decided to split their money across alts but trhey probably don't have that info
If you guys can dismiss your pets and turn off noisy ambients, that would be helpful :)
I think I have 12 right now. Gonna pay attention to the discord and updates lists instead of attending.
dismiss.....my......pet...... ๐ข
315 souls in the warehouse? that cant be right
did it close already?
Yep, 315.
fire hazard
alright, light it on fire 2 second decay timers, go
Lol, all 80 peeps in plat are in the warehouse
slug is gone!
Poor test slug
!J>raze
!J>
As much as you'd like to, you realize that razing this place isn't a viable option.
where we live streaming this
first up is an herb tome
Herblore tome, MB 1m...
here we goooooo
Give us just a moment. ๐
and we screwed it up already
1b to Giantphang! (But, really, what Whayle said. Heh.)
This is the slug's fault!
I didn't type that much
Do you own a cat
That broke fast.
bid 1000000 block is what I typed ๐
Paste what you typed
i love how you trolled us right out the gate Giantphang lol
Vanah your books are solid gold!
also I only have 9m silvers
They can permanently take fingers to account for the rest, I bet.
I like how the next bid needed to be 0 silvers
Do they take legs? I don't need 'em
can I get a room number for the auction?
it's closed currently
limbs would be a terrible currency in a world where you can regrow them with foraged herbs.
I said permanently!
- The auction will be located just outside the Landing. From North Gate go NW S GO PATH GO ARCH GO WAREHOUSE.
Fair
they gonna have to garnish his wages!
Active Players: 785
Currently in the room: 316
Auction 3:16 says I just took your silvers!
aha here it is
The auctioneer exclaims, "The reserve price has been met for a salt-stained driftwood brown tome with a stylized kraken on its cover!"
Doenay Wollborg says, "A bid of 1,111,111 silvers has been registered to Trevic! The next bid must be at least 1,166,666 silvers."
bid 1000000 block
You don't have 1,000,000,000 silvers to register a BID on a salt-stained driftwood brown tome with a stylized kraken on its cover. You have 9,090,878 silver between notes and in-pocket wealth.
Doenay Wollborg says, "You sure are hangin' tough, Giantphang, especially with a bid of 1,000,000,000 silvers! The next bid must be at least 0 silvers."
is it because you did bid block not just bid maybe?
maybe
best way to test new code is during live auction
๐
I don't know how to gemstone, I just got here!
Okay, we're going to call a mulligan. We're not sure if it was the slug or what. But we're fixing it. We're going to open up and start at 7:30pm ET. We'll open the warehouse up until then.
ok
Would be nice if players would stop trying to make things more difficult or busy by not doing stuff like setting "another" table down on the ground.
goes to sneak dinner in
okay- so sory
ok nice I have time to get another 1b silvers
can we transfer stuff until 7:30?
oh man, excited for the RPA awards!
I mean, people....
The auctioneer exclaims, "The reserve price has been met for a salt-stained driftwood brown tome with a stylized kraken on its cover!"
Doenay Wollborg says, "A bid of 1,111,111 silvers has been registered to Trevic! The next bid must be at least 1,166,666 silvers."

You absorb 69 experience points. 50%

Doenay Wollborg says, "You sure are hangin' tough, Giantphang, especially with a bid of 1,000,000,000 silvers! The next bid must be at least 0 silvers."```
BID alone worked for me...I think.
I'm grilling a steak at my PC right now
Think bigger. Giftbox!
ZOMG!
quick go hunt and return fried
Possible to silence the room when we start up again? ๐
That would be nice.
This is exactly what I'm doing.
Well, you folks want a teaser for NEXT MONTH?
yeah!
LOL
the answer is always YES
next month I'll have a billion silvers to bid with!
Nope, don't you dare tell us one thing! we like to be surprised!
sure!
Blame Mel
THIS TEASER IS FOR NEXT MONTH
Mel would never
THIS ITEM IS NOT IN THE AUCTION TONIGHT
Mel's innocent.
ENJOY THIS EXTRA TEASER
Haliste is the one you should be apologizing to
Your careful inspection of a swirled deep cobalt and violet duskjewel brooch allows you to conclude that it is miscellaneous armor that protects the wearer in general.
DB brooch?
DB!
Regyy gets another shot to sell DB for 4x his winning bid!
ooo
Looksl ike a nice brooch that we'll get tonight due to the delay!
I Bid 1B on the tonight's DB Brooch
You don't have 1b!
it doesn't count as naked if you are wearing a brooch
cancels all plans to buy anything at this auction to save for the DB
(not really, it's OB or bust for me ๐ )
TD Brooch!
not anymore i just bought a book
TD brooch, now there's a seller
Tinkle Brooch
That's the most expensive book ever...
Yeah, who needs DS. More pewpew power
That +5 AS flesh is gonna sell for the integer limit
Dying makes you look bad.
after those mailboxes i honestly thought the 1b bid was legit, cause GS people are like that
not if you have a pocket cleric and death announcements turned off
a + 5 CS one would too but we're not getting one ๐ฆ
Yeah but I'm a ranger, I don't die ๐
8 minutes till restart!
nerf rangers
And a forest gnome, I mean it's not even fair really
Tonight is a Baroqe auction
This room is like a rainbow of colors...
So much hax in one character
when all of the combat scripts go off
Delay of game. 5 item penalty, repeat start of auction.
2 minute warning!
I had an open roll that basically lead to an open roll crit earlier...it can happen!
This auction going until 4am at this rate
Kenstrom must be running it
an optimist i see
It won't. This is just a minor hiccup.
More time to set up highlights for the items you want!
Instead of ending at 12, it will end at 1
Might be a good idea to make the room a sanctuary so people can't kill other people. Or just remove the rabble rousers.
I still don't know what any of the things are, much less if I want them
Wait wait wait
We are moving as quickly as we can.
Thanks for the update
Take your time. We are not in a rush.
Anything that comes on the block can be ANALYZED and INSPECTED.
I am groot.
I wonder how empty the rest of the lands are right now..
@desert pilot I tossed you a FR, just wanted to confirm nothing else showed weird on your end.
does it still have the spell rank enhancive restrictions of needing to know 30 spells in the circle?
There's 777 people on as of a second ago. Perfect time to start!
Yes, why wouldn't it?
Only INSPECTED, but that seems to show the analyze, which is helpful.
335 in room!
half the people logged in are at the auction, the other half are those who don't open their giftboxes
FR? Free Runeblade?
yes! haha
just checking
Friend Request
The only way to Wyrom's friend list is to break something
Never would have guessed.
That explains much.
Don't worry, he doesn't keep them long.
that SHOULD make a person worry
So just keep breaking things, got it!
True, Wyrom once friended me when I broke the simucoin deliver thing somehow, now I can't message him anymore. Sad.
Ok Wyrom thanks for the free DB brooch.
np
need to gma more
oh shoot wrong channel sorry
lol
Yakushi is a permanent friend due to bugs.
DB is DB
you got a free dough box !?
It's perm too. Player attuned, spreads to all connected characters
now I just need 27 enchant certs to get it back to zero and then we're in business!
-27 DB brooch is what you stack with zelnorn ones so you can negate the DB part and max out +50 AS I think
"free" is really starting to sound like "-2.7m bloodscrip"
yakushi is going to buy me a pony
fine I bid -2.7m bloodscrip on the next item!
Give all players a free +1 DB item in a giftbox. Profit at Duskruin.
rush on the auction house
Figure I'll just crash the game and go to bed at this point.
i think up to about +20 DB, I would rather wear an enhancive in the slot
He's giving everyone an RPA!
Can't crash platinum though
we can just move the auction to next months and run a combined one then, unlimited
one twelve hour auction, it's fine
where are the spoilers from plat? did they break too?
yes
Of course we broke, lol
i think they said yeah the same there
Damn GP, ...
wow game crash
Uh.
delete GP in both instances...
boom goes the ydnamite
smooth
Problem solved.
Ohhh, crash
LOL
game crash!
There it went
LOL
Lol
He did it. The crazy sonuvagun did it
lol
crashed! whines!
oh he was serious!
all items in hand have been DELETED
Hey, he actually crashed it for once!
i saw brute passing out silvers
I didn't have this on my bingo card

๐ฅ
Good night Wyrom!
Uh oh.

classic ๐
;foreach in room;give 10 silver
I don't actually remember any past ones honestly crashing it, heh.
that's our first real crash in a while
๐ค
Okay, the testing didn't crash it as the testing was happening in Dev. This was totally Wyrom's fault.
Booo, was enjoying an empty HW, now probaby dead in HW ๐
too much silvers in game
game crashed???
good night sweet prince
game crashed
Uh...
can't log back in
crashed hard!
Who killed the hamster?
But my disk was carrying my 2b note...
yeah game crashed..
but.. did we get the RPA?
First one in wins the game!
this is all par for the course for an epic and memorable night lol
Lunatick crashed the game.
Well, that was silly, Jimmie!
probs!
this is why i like GS tbh, this is more fun than the actual auction would've been
so 400ish RPAs does still break the game
next 500 people logging in at same time
woot new 1st in line
Did the game crash?
Let me know when itโs back up. Hahaโฆ had to let my son play Lego marvel avengers for a bitโฆ
Giftbox for the crash? ๐
Boooom
maybe we just get a giftbox for the delay next time?
is this all because I put a muffin in the podium ?
yes Ordim
No! I got it Giantphang's -DB item did it.
Does that count as my third time getting in trouble?
eventbox drain those silvers!
Mel crashed the game
haha this is a fun first experience!
yeah giftbox with an orb instead of the roomwide RPA is probably safer lol
Oh man, I hope my little isn't dead when we get back LOL
Warflies hate auctions
oh its like really crashed lol
It's true he gets really bored, he just wants to kill stuff
So he killed the game
how bad did we kill the game? lol
That's why I'm a doodyfly. We love auctions
tell me where she is so i could go check on her
It's crashed crashed
sorry i jinxed it
you said it didn't you Rolfard
Giftbox attuned orbs would be easier, yeah
Yes, crashed is crashed.
someone was about to take a pillow to the face too!
Can we just bid here?
As opposed to lightly crashed.
Roelon is sending me DMs harassing me for breaking gemstone. I'd like to speak with the manager.
so we bid here?
bid 150000
Can we continue the auction the PC?
fender bender
Yakushi never crashes.
just some mild crashing
plat's still up...for now.
Free homes for everyone in every town
like how crashed are we?
I just hope you didn't lose your code fixes that you all were working on
Yakushi has an item that makes him persist through crashes
Looking to be financially dominated online. I thought GS was going to be my fix....PST
We didn't make them live yet.
yeah well telling plat everyone gets an RPA just means like 4 more accounts log in it's fine
We were still testing them.
I haven't seen the game crash in so long... that's kinda awesome
got it!
it's kind of like that stephen king langoliers thing...he's like, before time or something
all are notes are doubles now
(is not involved in the troubleshooting & fixing but is listening to it)
so when we come up do you think we have the RPA or no? lol
time to put my note in my locker and pray
I am having so many GEnie and Early Days AOL flashbacks right now.
Prodigy flashback! lol
my mom answered the phone, sorry guys
anyone back on? I still can't login
Are they saying my name a lot? I'd like to know how "my fault" this really is. I'm aiming for like 70%
I actually first tried GS because the AOL pipeline to Dragonrealms went down.
Was soo funny, we'd be moving around from the GEnie end of things and all those AOL portal folks just frozen.
its not your fault at all id say
Ugh feeling really bad for the staff right now
For a moment, I felt 17 again with that game crash.
and it's up
you merely exposed the issue
Now it feels like a real auction
i hope it was my fault somehow
It was not your fault.
Why? People pay more for this than most streaming services
Definitely your fault....
Yeah, I mean, who gould have perdicted someone bidding over what they had, chuckle.
I told my wife I broke the auction and she just rolled her eyes and took the baby into the other room.
I blame @rustic swallow
It was the slug.
i am glad nobody has arrived to be grumpy about this tbh
unit for the win
RonBurgundyDontBelieveYou.gif
Makes sense... one less thing to break!
There was a slug?
It really wasn't his fault.
we'll be right back ditty plays
It wasn't that ๐
Baby phang doesnโt get to watch?
Yes, someone put a slug gem on the table.
at least it happened at the beginning instead of the middle
Should probably silence the room
So we don't recrash
it's alive!
Cant bid then
recrash meh can't even get back in
It wasn't the room making the noise that killed it.
How about so I don't have to hear/see other people
oh I'm sure it was the selecting 400 targets to RPA
its not your fault Phang
And we're up
The crash gave me time to make more bacon. Now I have steak covered in bacon
oooh thanks for getting that up so fast
GALD in room order, GO
I pulled out my pillow, and was going to throw it. But I had to anal it first... and then it went dark.
that's what you said!
... phrasing
hahaha
....
i get blamed for everything..
have half go outside and RPA outside + inside separately
the weather is bad, my faults
there's truth behind every legend
some one dies by accident hunting.. i get blamed to
Honestly, I thought this last auction I went to. That the room should be silenced. Only allowing the bid command to go through and the command once you've won would free you to take the item on the table. Oh and also the Inspect (object) command. Otherwise this many folks in the same location all doing things jus makes for problems.
gnomes.. i've been accused that's my fault to
Celtar speaks truth
the game crash was just a master plan to get them more time to test the fix
open the door!
so did the rpas go out?
it hadn't really started yet to need a silence
somebody get those damn kids of Celtar's lawn!
The game crash was actually a teaser of one of the auction items
Can we push this out to like 9 pm maybe? I want to go play some overwatch while we wait.
How much would you pay
It feels like people get a captive audience and feel the need to act out.
"But muh participation pointz"
I feel like you all get... FREE HUGS!
yeah, buy a pie throwing box and do it alone like ME
No good deed goes unpunished
there goes the RPA
mychar thinks that Alastir isn't as cool of an RPer as I am. Look at my deep thoughts!
can the next crash take us back like 2 days ago? I um, had more silvers then.
Okay Jack Handy
That was my nickname in high sch--oh I get it now.
These RPAs are great. The one from mania was the last I needed for my ASC milestone
So when does the manual version start?
Roleplay nominate auchand hasnโt talked in a while must be doing some really good mychars
If we have to go manual, it won't be until April.
he means it won't end until april
Would it be easier to rollback the comma addition
Because someone earlier in the game said "Take the L'. I'm stuck humming Martha and the Motels "take the L out of Lover" and it's over song. Thanks for that.
nobody else is old enough to know that song sir.
Salt the slug, works like a charm
I'll voluneer to do QA if you need to test auction blocks beforehand
This is what happens when you donโt support French commas
but everyone planned around THIS date a lot of people won't be able to make it
Mwahaha.
french commas are periods
Oui
just relax, they looking into it ๐
Right now I think all the French commas are covered in refuse
They are almost done testing.
Okay but how about the oxford comma
l
Btw while i've got a captive audience. Anyone know about this really cool armor script I saw earlier today. This paladin took his armor off and there was this whole four line description which was pretty cool. I'd post it but don't want to spam here.
I took tomorrow off, so I'm good to go hah
We're working on it, just saying, if things have to switch, it won't be in March. Unfortunately, a series of events happens that caused the break. Everyone has been awarded an RPA. A GIFTBOX will go out too at some point not tonight as well.
Trying to figure out if it was a one off special item or a script you could get.
post in mechanics? someone will probably know
Silvers dont expire, appreciate the effort
wow there are a lot more commas than I thought:
The regular comma (",") is the most common comma character used in English and many other languages.
The Arabic comma (ุ) is used in Arabic and Persian texts. It is a small diagonal stroke that appears above the baseline.
The Chinese comma (ใ) is used in Chinese texts to separate items in a list. It is a small vertical line.
The Greek ano teleia (ฮ) is used in Greek to indicate the stress accent of a word. It looks like an apostrophe or a single quotation mark and is placed above the vowel that is stressed.
The Georgian comma (แซ) is used in the Georgian language. It is a small horizontal line that appears above the baseline.
The Hebrew geresh (ืณ) is used in Hebrew to indicate a sound change or to abbreviate a word. It looks like an apostrophe or a single quotation mark and is placed above the letter.
The Japanese comma (ใ) is used in Japanese texts to separate items in a list. It is a small circle.
The Korean comma (๏ผ) is used in Korean texts to separate items in a list. It is a small dot.
The Thai comma (ุ) is used in Thai texts to separate items in a list. It is a small horizontal line.```
Sounds like animalistic.
That sounds like animal spirit, Celtar
I'll do that thanks Vaemyr.
Y'all are doing your best - that's plenty for me ๐ Thank you - I know you GMs have worked so hard on this and want it to go smoothly more than anyone.
I like that for the "full" armors it references the helm, vambraces, etc
uh didbt know the game was up. wanna hit that rpa button afain please?
Posted it over on mechanics. It was really cool.
gift box!
bid 1ใ000ใ000
I remember when I was getting my CS degree, I was complaining "When will being able to code something from memory in 45 minutes ever be necessary. No one is ever going to hold a gun to my head like in Swordfish or something"
Now I know
if things have to be switched how?
The show must go on.
I'd just like to take a moment to remind everyone that Thadiwe said I didn't do it.
You know how you ship a thoroughly tested piece of software to a big customer and it suddenly crashes holding up their production and they call you at like 9:30 pm on Friday
but seriously- you all can only do so much
and she knows all sorts of things!
We are going to be starting back up soon.
yay
Wait! I have to go pee!
we're back up in plat.. making sure it works as expected ๐ temporal blade is up
"no way dude, stack overflow will always be there for u"
if the automation doesn't work there isn't going to be an auction tonight, he means switching from automation to manual.
I'm a late arrival. Has there been anything auctioned so far?
a book
Sort of.
Kinda
but not really
RSN
can I have a button that says I broke the 5123 auction and all I got was a ThePonzzz in my DMs?
I feel bad for all the players that were just minding their own business hunting hobgoblins blissfully ignorant of the auction and GP ruined it for them
Heh
I said I was sorry already GEEZE!
How could you! My disk is GONE.
one sanity. It did not go for much
It was the roomba...
100 people did not log back in
Afk.
my plan is working
Found the afk scripters
tea kettle up in plat ๐
nice
smooth so far
Don't make us send Giantphang over there
Glad Plat is up and running
Let me put on my platsuit
do it
Deets on the kettle? ๐๏ธ
Also here: A large crowd.
Also here: A large crowd.
temporal warblade sold for 16m
I'm like that cannon guy at the circus.
this was just a trick to audit silvers
not sure if anybody is tracking plat costs
It is a small item, under a pound.
It is estimated to be worth about 100,000 silvers.
It is magic resistant.
It is predominantly crafted of gemstone.```
Little short on info
how did it take so long for somebody to come up with that?
We are getting ready to issue the 5 minute warning for returning
It's a warning about the warning!
[Announcement: The auction is back on the menu. Really sorry about that delay. We'll be starting up within 5 minutes.]```
Anybody else picturing the "5 minutes" guy from All That?
Meat's back on the menu!
I'm almost out of amaretto....it was supposed to last me a lot longer than this
(boys)
๐คฃ You've got time to run to the store for more
you've been to in game events before, that's all on you
oo amaretto
you weren't supposed to crack it open till after the first item sells
What... you people don't have wet bars in your house?
I mean, it's just downstairs....but I'm locked and loaded here!
Some of us hit the packy earlier knowing what kind of night it could be
fyi, cant give silvers in the whole game.. not just the auction room
intended I'm pretty sure
I'm gonna bid 1b on whatever the first item is
This is intended.
you really want that KF herb tome huh ๐
I got disconnected and now locked out?
So, about those 5 minutes ๐๐
Two-person benches situated equidistant from each other to form half-circle rows begin at a long mahogany table and expand outward from one end of the hall to the other, leaving only a tiny standing area for late arrivals. Gold-trimmed mahogany buckets hang from each bench's armrest, and overly stuffed cushions line each seat to provide substantial comfort during long sessions. Standing behind a mahogany podium, an auctioneer keeps watch over the area with a keen eye. You also see a really big note.
Obvious exits: out```
I don't see that ๐
Do you have people in the room suppressed?
you can suppress people?
no idea? lol
yes but then they revolt
I just meant can't you do it with Lich?
(does not know or understand the powers of Lich as she's never used it)
You could.
it wouldn't impact in that way
what's lich?
When is the warehouse opening back up?
it is open?
We just closed it and had given a five minute warning before closing it.
is it like Psinet? I was wondering why the only person I can talk to is Jamus...
I'm just over here practicing my aerial gunlance combos in MH rise
@fossil basalt We opened the warehouse back up.
You're not trapped in here with him. He's trapped in here with you.
I'll break it soon anyway
@novel falcon this is for you.
People are why we can't have nice things...
what is that from?
That movie with the big naked blue guy
The simpsons
watchmen
Watchmen
Meant for the arachnophile, the bracer is hollow and has an openworked design. The interior has been magically enhanced, allowing it to contain an enormous nest packed with innumerable spiders. The spiders have a special relationship with their owner and are willing to serve as a utility in combat.
The bracer will respond to the following verbs: WHISTLE (self-UnWeb), WAVE [at] (Devour Web), POINT [at] (Web Flinger), POKE (Arachnophobia), RAISE [at] (Creepy Crawlies), CLEAN, COVER (THROWable fluff web), FEED, PEER, TOUCH, WAGGLE, PROD (toggle ambients).
WHISTLE: Call your spiders to free you from a web. Cooldown: 10 min
WAVE [AT]: Devour a web in the area or on another person. Cooldown: 2 min
POINT [AT]: Direct your spiders to launch webs at a target. Cooldown: 3 min
POKE: Frighten eligible targets with your spidery ways, staggering and slowing them. Cooldown: 5 min
RAISE [AT]: Send the spiders to your target, staggering them and causing creatures to drop any held items. Cooldown: 5 min
The description of the residents of the bracer may be customized by a merchant, but must remain a small, web-spinning spider. No tarantulas, goliath spiders, huntsman spiders, large garden spiders, etc. Currently set to: crimson-veined mirror spider"```
Did we ever get that RPA?
It is an enhancive item:
It provides a boost of 15 to Perception Ranks.
It provides a boost of 15 to Climbing Ranks.
It seems to have almost innumerable enhancive charges remaining.
It will persist after its last enhancive charge has been expended.
It appears to weigh about 2 pounds.
It is estimated to be worth about 36,000,000 silvers.
It is predominantly crafted of eahnor.
It is a tricky project (401 difficulty) for an adventurer to modify.
The bracer is miscellaneous armor that covers the arms.
The bracer can be worn around the arms. The bracer appears to serve some purpose.```
Yes
nice
Was it a flat exp?
Where are you seeing that?
Plat
Platinum, there were a few questions on it
Full
Thank you for sharing from Plat while we wait ๐
I didnt get one
That's a really neat bracer
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1URbqQ34PQaW8K6XfPjchhVYiRfRuFc-MaZ22pvzQCgE/edit?usp=sharing
Plat sheet, has more details as we go
I bet it will start right back up as soon as my Chinese food gets delivered....
I got one in the tent, and my alt outside the tent got one, dunno what to tell you.
were you roleplaying
I have been roleplaying a stone statue for 1 hour, just like they told me to! I am a GOOD boy
I guess I will assist about it later
i think this room should pulse RPA every 30 min
RPA pulse grenade
thanks!
That's a cool idea, but here's the counteroffer: mandatory aggressive hugs.
My body, my choice...
Like, those uncomfortably long hugs where you're thinking, "Is this person going to stop? Did I really agree to this?"
big thanks again to the GMs working hard on this. I can't imagine how frustrating it is to work so hard on putting an event together just to have it blow up on you at the beginning
and they rub a weird part of the back of your arm that makes it even more uncomfortable?
Reason for the delay is Platinum found an issue as well, they don't know they found an issue.
No that was another issue.
That was a different issue. Heh
how many issues
SO MANY
Giantphang has a plat account too?
Yes
No, to be safe, we banned him--- oh.. yes.
Wyrom is draining silvers right now by pickpocketing people while they wait
๐คฃ
airlifts vodka to the staff
Itโs the long con
Mmmh vooodka
Refilled amaretto. All is well.
i feel like it's a good moment not to be a GM
Right before the updates to pickpocket are rolled out so we can't get revenge
are those still rolling out? i stopped paying attention 300 pages in
Eh, it's not too bad, you all are showing patience, we appreciate it.
I feel like tonight was just the curse, cause Feb DR's automated auction went so flawlessly
Honestly I would rather wait another hour than wait til not March.
warehouse got closed again?
I'm just waiting for wyrom to say screw it and do it manually
if it has to be manual it won't be tonight
Yeah, I don't have any days off for like the next month, it may as well still be tonight.
we don't like closed doors
meanwhile Plat- please keep filling in that doc!
which would suck, because lots of people made plans for a long night tonight, even if it's a late start
Closed doors = 5 min?
I mean, why even leave.....
get those last minute hunts in
People addicted to maintaining a constant saturation
Where is the doc?
Have some exp
thanks for keeping our minds full!
gaze fond
what about my poor disk sniffles
Oooh the property has a working forging workshop
forgery shop eh?
yep zul logoth property with forge, gonna be hot when that Kiramon Hive opens up
I hope it's only 9m
Wyrom knows love can be bought
gimme a property with it's own independent shop
white background, heresy!
it's google docs
dark mode yo!
it's in Logoth it needs more perks thena forge
My eyes...
I have to log in to save dark mode and then I won't be anon <.<
I always wanted to live in Zul
Someone occasionally posts a Wrayth screenshot and their background is a bright purple and it blows my mind every time
You know what would really make it up to people? A temporal mace. Now they're going to be too shy to admit it, but we all voted- and that's what people wanted
Grimmace has logged on
When I played on AOL, it was a white/maybe light grey background with dark lettering. And I don't know how I did it because just thinking about it now gives me a headache.
omg I forgot how bad it was
I still use white background, it's the best
the set of 7 items, look like they are 5 enhancive ranks to the spell list. Similar to the spellbook trinkets (probably identical?) at DR
i missed the meeting and voted temporal cudgel
You just stare at lightbulbs for fun too?
but...it had built in macros before wizard
yes
purple isn't real
I misread the vote and put in for a temporal whip.
Dark modes have only been a thing for like 5-6 years!
hush!
Ya name in here is Pyurple Phang yer not real
somehow black text on white background, I can read faster than inversed
happens when ya get old Brute
My eyes just burn if it's light mode stuff
I voted temporal cudgel deliberately for my own entertainment
maybe that's it
I would have bought that
Me in light mode
my office has no windows since a remodel, I like the dark hell with that evil light mode stuff
Even with +100 enchant, I think cudgels still do negative damage
Black background IG is more immersive. It FEELS like you are surrounded by more open space.
black background makes me think I'm in the 1980s staring at a CRT monitor
Someone DM me when they restart the auction, Imma tap a nap ๐ด
if you use green letters
where's my Goldschlager?
I sifted out the gold, so now it's just schlager
SO DEMANDING
if we're not running by 9 I'm fully emptying my bank account and chugging back to back irish car bombs
You know, for what it's worth I'd rather have a shortened auction tonight than wait until April. (if those are the choices)
It's not...we stay up till 5 am
I am all for just giving me alla loot to distribute to the needy and calling it a day
Yes. Finish it.
I say just move to tomorrow night. Or next Sunday.
Museums are not the needy
We are working on it.
They are doing another round of testing on the issue we found.
I'm a very needy person
Scheduling is sacrosanct! I am not upset nor impatient. I will sit here and busy myself until you are ready. ๐
Your call is important to us, you are number <104> in the queue.
does plat have the same list of items as us?
The smell of cinnamon schnapps. Blagh. Just gimme a few pints, Im good
Yes.
After you fix it can you tell us what the bug was, thatโs always the best part
at least we'll know what's what
Noooo
im going to end up going to bed and missing the pie box aren't I?
You'll stay up til the end and you'll like it.
just make a script where you bid when peole poke you and we'll help you out
no and no, i gotta work to keep spending as much as I do at the events
You know with these RPAs I'm happy to just keep hanging out here
gluttonous minds. I like it!
Seriously, let's start it at dawn, I'm fine.
lol
I'm good until 3:30 PM est
right?
I don't need to sleep
Tamuz are you sure the spell rank enhancive is set up correctly?
cause even Plat's doesn't show any indication of restrictions
What kind of restrictions should there be?
No restriction would send the price of those to the moon ๐
simply being profession restricted doesn't matter
there are professions who don't have the TPs to learn the spells
so it's different from the DR spell rank enhancive
Maybe an empath needs 5 ranger ranks!
I would legit try and build a 319 warrior
see
I don't know what 319 is but I want it!
Nothing you want is allowed to be cheap @mental pier
is that like a i'm going to bid you up cause you pointed something out kind of comment?
No, I am too poor to bid people up. You are safe.
Hey I broke the whole auction with just 9m silvers
two instances
don't be so hard on yourself!
make him pay the billion for the herb tome and split it with the rest of us
I know the first thing I'm doing with my pie box when I get it....
go on - you will be judged on your answer
I plan a ritual burning of the pie box
Woah, harsh.
honestly, that would give me ptsd
everyone knows Brownies are where it's at
record for most fun things burned down: Ordim
I just hope Giantphang likes rhubarb pie....
Isn't burning the pie box just... baking?
That just makes it baked Alaska.
brownies are good
I had a pie catapult once
I'll join the crowdfund for this
but I gave it to plumbley and now it's gone forever
at least people aren't singing
You're clearly not tuned in to my karaoke stream then
@mental pier Yes, they require 30 ranks of that spell circle to grant their bonus. This is something done at a level beyond restrictions on an individual enhancive, it's hard coded into other systems.
if only we had a Rendena karaoke situation going on right now
Nah I'm listening to music in the RYSK group! I'm only here for the cookies
k thanks for clarifying
