Sometime during the event, I'll be putting out a cart with a contract to place a standing clock in your private property. This will not work in premium homes, tents, or any other location except in a private property you are the owner of. The clock will chime on the hour and it will be audible throughout your property. Once the clock is placed you can TURN the clock to toggle it on and off. There are also a few fluff verbs you can use to interact with the clock once placed, CLEAN, LISTEN, LOOK, OPEN, PINCH, STARE and UNLATCH.

The clock is a script first coded by GM Kynlee. I've made some updates to add more ring flavors and a few other small improvements under the hood. You will be able to take the contract to any willing GALD merchant and have its appearance customized. The noun must remain clock, but it cannot be a grandfather clock. It will support long descriptions but not shows. Once placed, you cannot change any of the custom settings, so be sure you have it how you want it before raising your contract!

You analyze your clock contract and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This clock contract is used to place a standing floor clock in a private property that you own.
TURN the contract to choose between one of six different hourly ring messages.

Current ring setting:  Striker

The appearance of the clock may be altered by any willing merchant with a long description but show descriptions are not allowed.  The noun will always remain "clock".

Current article setting:  a timeworn
Current adjective setting:  mahogany
Current long description setting:  a timeworn mahogany clock with a nacre-inlaid face
Current clock hands metal setting:  faenor

You should RAISE your contract while standing in the room where you want to install a standing floor clock.

Your clock ring is now set to:  Clockwork Bird

Yayyy more clocks

ruby nexus

It's funny because I finished this project even before we discussed the Year of the Clockwerke Devices so it was just serendipity.

Haha, great timing! I'm definitely going to snag one or two!!

Any way we can see the messaging for the different rings so we can see what we are deciding before committing?

To be clear, this works in the auction private properties like Emberthorn Refuge correct?

rocky galleon
#

So no putting Fash symbols on it? (Grandfather clock... )

Yes it says it is a private property, I just wanted to be sure. Thank you.

I'm very excited to see this debut, I remember Kynlee talking about her progress on it before she passed. Thank you for finishing (and improving on) her script and making this possible.

I’ve loved this script in my PP since Kynlee wrote it. She was pretty amazing. Question Tivvy, will the new fluff verbs work on my already existing? (Not at home to check until way late)

Kynlee was a beautiful person, Im so happy to see her script finished. This is lovely.

For each of these, the first message is what you see in the room with the clock, the second is what you see in the other rooms of your property.

** Striker**

A small door on the top of the clock opens, and two silver figures emerge, flanking a tiny bell. Taking turns, they strike the bell several times with miniature hammers to mark the top of the hour before disappearing back inside the clock.

  The faint sound of tiny, metal hammers striking a bell several times marks the top of the hour.

Gong

The deep sound of a gong reverberates from the clock, marking the top of the hour.

  The faint, deep sound of a gong marks the top of the hour.

** Chime**

The clear sound of chimes emanates from the clock, marking the top of the hour.

  The faint sound of chimes marks the top of the hour.

Clockwork bird

A small door above the clock's face opens and a gilded birdcage appears. A clockwork chaffinch with wings of rainbow jade trills a sunny melody, marking the top of the hour, before sliding back into the clock.

  The faint trill of birdsong marks the top of the hour.

Dirge

Fingers of mist seep from the door in the top of the clock as it opens to reveal a miniature silver-gilt dirge. It marks the top of the hour by wailing an eerie song before gliding back into the workings of the clock.

  A faint, mournful dirge marks the top of the hour.

Banshee

Rising from the top of the clock, a patina-darkened ivory banshee opens its cleverly hinged mouth and looses a keening wail to mark the top of the hour. It sinks slowly back into the clock.

  A distant, keening wail marks the top of the hour.

Guillotine

A tiny guillotine rises atop the clock, a porcelain figurine kneeling before it. The blade descends with a swift chop, the figurine's head separating from its shoulders and rolling into a small chute before colliding with a gleaming silver bell to sound a clear tocsin, marking the top of the hour. The guillotine retracts back into the clock with a whirring sound.

  A faint tocsin marks the top of the hour.

I see that these are "standing floor clocks" in the analyze. If we have a furniture mover request from RW, would it be possible to put the clock ON something? Like a table or mantle or... whatever?

ruby nexus
#

No.

#

Are any of the details like the description of the bird or the figurines in the striker messaging alterable? Or is that all baked in?

ruby nexus
#

That's all baked in

ember furnace
#

Good to know, that'll definitely help me pick which one in the end.

ebon galleon
#

Very lovely ❤️

clever saffron
#

One other random question, will the chimes (or whatever sound you picked) echo through ALL rooms in the property? Or just indoor ones?

That's likely how it was set up

#

The way the contracts work, it should grab your entire property

solar nova
#

What is the cost going to be?

#

:sobs: >point my tic at stove
You point your flame-painted ticket at a claw-foot cast iron stove.

#

nothing happened :sniff:

opaque pulsar
#

Is that a tea stove?

#

What is the ticket?

clear palm
# opaque pulsar What is the ticket?

It’s the portable stove you installed for me at the beach place. The ticket unlocks additional hot plates on it.. it’s in DR with the meat grinder shop. Vanah commented that pointing at the stove .. pointing ticket should work but sadly it does not. The stove is the EG one to be clear.

opaque pulsar
#

I mean, it shouldn't matter, but it sounds like you need it bug it so that Vanah can take a look at it.

#

To clarify..

clear palm
#

Ok I’ll do that tomorrow..thanks.. I’m half asleep tbh lol

opaque pulsar
#

By it shouldn't matter, I mean, it shouldn't if you bought it at EG if it is a tea stove it will work.

clear palm
#

Yeah I cook the pies the teas and frying pan stuff on it.. it’s neat .. I love it lol

spare shuttle
#

I want a thing that will let me install my stove in my existing property. Yes, it's on my wish list. I figure it won't likely happen but I can wish. LOL

Oh man, I wish those worked on stoves in CHE grounds. I'd love to expand the one in Cairnfang Manor to have more than one burner on it. (Have tried raise at, saw the restriction it requires a private property you own. Yes, I'm an officer.)

#

Oooookay, so back on topic. The clocks are going to be 25K. I'll be throwing them on the cart sometime midweek.

Hi where are these for sale?

cross-post for those who didn't see the announcement,

[Duskruin] - Private Property Upgrades Cart
A cart with three certificates for private property upgrades (standing clock additions, permanent ownership licenses, and teleportation key upgrades) has been placed in Gloam Pike (u8214519).```

Thanks! What does permanent ownership do? I don't see information on the wiki except if you have fees. I don't.... think i do?

Thank you again Alastir.

ebon warren
#

does the transportation key upgrade work for alt keys or only the owner?

ember furnace
#

Only the owner.

ebon warren
#

thanks

warm jungle
#

as i am planning on how to alter this, is it possible to get an example of how the "Current clock hands metal setting" appears? is it in a show, or does is appear in some of the verb traps? also do they have to be metal, or could they be wood? thanks!

ruby nexus
#

They need to be metal.


>look clock
Beautifully scripted numbers encircle the inner face of the mahogany clock.  Expertly crafted hands made of faenor make their way slowly around, marking the time.  The small hand currently rests on the 3, while the larger hand indicates it is about 40 minutes past the hour.```

thanks so much!

Hey Tivvy. For these, is it for sure required that they need to be placed in a +indoor room only, or was that just something with the original script? I ask because most of our rooms are actually outdoors (a terrace, a veranda, etc.) and our indoor rooms are really cluttered, so Elysia got hers altered in such a way that it would work best outdoors (I forget the text, but something like a bronze wrought garden clock...).

If it's intended to be for sure +indoor, can you add some GM notes so the person doing the alter knows? And if it doesn't HAVE to be +indoor can you remove the restriction? 😇
