I've just signed up for a free online RPG, Cthulhu Nation. I don't know what it's going to be like or what I'm doing other than wondering around an island, but I would appreciate it if Barbelith would come and join in and we could form a secret society and do sacrifices and stuff.

I've signed up, because I'm a sucker for such things.

I'll come back when I have more of an idea of what's going on.

Dr. Sax I presume.
Currently wandering around England touching rocks and waving a compass.
 
 
Blake Head

Yes, ok, sacrifices, yes. Though Mr Blake is still trying to escape the island for the moment.

This looks pretty cool. Edward Arkedeyevich is currently looking for lighthouses, but sacrifices sound more interesting...

I'm in. Sir Hubert Godfrey Ashcroft—Soulis was too long, so find me by my "field moniker," Godfrey Soulis.

Jeremy Stoates has just arrived on the island.

This looks fun.

Thanks to judicious, repetetive and slightly exploiting gambling, I now have a chain mail shirt ( may leave rust stains on clothing!) and a pump action shotgun, both of which make very little difference against the bigger monsters, but they make me feel better.

How's anyone else doing?
 
 
The Strobe
19:42 / 16.03.06
Phineas Carter seems to have turned up, too.

As has Lord Kube. What the hell am I doing? I already spend half my life in Cities. [Rolls against SAN, fails]

And Elias Wurm has fought his way of Lighthouse Island in little under an hour- stirling work, if I say so myself.

This is a stupid question but
HOW DO I EQUIP ANYTHING?
 
 
Feverfew
08:27 / 18.03.06
No no, not a silly question. The information screens are a little unhelpful.

Click the "Inventory" Tab in the top-right-hand corner (below "Play mode") - this takes you to the Inventory screen, where there are a series of tabs for the different types of items.

Most pertinently, Armour is equipped under the "Equip" tab, and weapons are equipped under... Well, I'm sure you can get that.

May I propose a meeting of Most Esteemed Barbelites at the Safe Zone (13, 17)? I hope to see you there.
 
 
GogMickGog
11:20 / 18.03.06
Ok, question..

I've completed a few mini-quests over in merry England but still haven't sorted a profession.

Am I missing something really simple?

15:06 / 18.03.06
Yeah, you have to visit someone at 17,16 and he'll send you on a short quest at the end of which you gt to choose one.
 
 
Feverfew

And having a career grants you a hat which can only, really, be described as "Spiffy".

Really. "Spiffy".
 
 
Bubblegum Death
19:27 / 18.03.06
Feverfew, thank you very much. I found out what my problem is.
I think it's my browser. Because on the computer I normally use; I can't see those tabs at ALL(no matter how much I scroll). But I just tried on a different computer using Internet Explorer and I saw them just fine.
 
 
Bubblegum Death
19:53 / 18.03.06
I'm off the island! Lalalalala!

Finally.
 
 
Feverfew
20:13 / 18.03.06
No problem, UT. Glad to be of service.

Am I the only one to have discovered the magic of the Casino, by the way? I've just spent ten minutes working my way from £1 2s 2d to £100. Sad but true.

But now, I have a Tommy Gun! Yay! Look out Egypt...

04:04 / 21.03.06
I'm both George Formby-Smythe and Tracey Coolum, I've seen a few of you around. Currently exploring darkest peru, but have not met any bears in mackintoshes.


I have also discovered the casino, and how to make it even easier to Win Big Money, all the time! By cheating, which is mean, but profitable.

Now, all I need to do is find the base for these diamonds to go in... and locate the president of Peru... hmm.

Must...not...click...link... cube help me resist!
 
 
Feverfew
18:20 / 21.03.06
I want a Maxim gun. Any ideas on how to earn a cheeky £1000, considering the casino's house limit is £1 (except with cheekiness)?

Otherwise, hey, addicted.
 
 
Quantum
18:22 / 21.03.06
Shit it, I've accidentally started playing as Darwin Studebaker, my favourite tabletop character... damn you Lovecraft!
 
 
Quantum
18:33 / 21.03.06
...and now I'm at a lighthouse with Ghadis trying to find a battery. It's cities all over again! AAAGH!
 
 
Feverfew

Just relax, breathe deeply, and...

Join us... JOIN US!

21:51 / 21.03.06
Hmm. I like it, I like the ammount of work that's gone into it...it's just a bit slow. Which I can see is mostly my problem, it's just frustrating because there's so many cool things you could be doing...
 
 
All Acting Regiment
21:58 / 21.03.06
*shudder*

My previous post brings back memories.
 
 
lekvar
01:45 / 22.03.06
I have absolutely no interest in learning how to cheat at cards.

Even at MMORPG gambling.

If someone were to post explaining, or even obliquely hinting at, how to make fabulous wealth at the Cthulhu Nation Casino I wouln't read it.

Not even a little bit.

*wink*

L. Byron has arrived. This looks so cool. Like UD but better.

05:35 / 22.03.06
I'm guessing, although I'm of a similar mind as you, lekvar, that it has something to do with pressing quit after you've bid, if the hand looks unfavorable— something which in real card games is probably looked upon as a temper tantrum.

Not that I would do this.
 
 
Triumvir
05:40 / 22.03.06
I'm officially addicted

It would certainly take the worst kind of man to spread the secrets of casino cheatery along the wild internets, but, since I know many of us here harbour ambitions to run casinos, one day, here are some things to watch out for:

make sure that your bid system is not coded so that bidding nearly the entire maximum bid (say 19s 11d), then bidding the remainder of the maximum bid (in this case, 1d), results in the mathematically improbable result of 1# 19s 11d. This means that should the bidder win, they'll receive three pounds something, which is far in excess of what they should rightfully receive!

Also, ensure that if unscrupulous players reload the frame in which the cards are held, after pressing the play button, you don't deal them another set of cards. A mischevious player could continue to deal themselves new cards until they struck blackjack, or a number they find to their liking (such as 20).

If you fail to account for these problems, players will be unable to lose, at these, your future casinos.


So, uh, yeah.

Watch out for that.
