TMC Ranking Incentives

[Harroghty]

Hi friends: I have some incentives to vote on TMC for Forgotten Kingdoms. If we are able to stay in the top 10 (places 6-10) for one week then I will begin to initiate some quests involving the fabled deck of fate. More cards and quests will follow with a second week in those places and so on.

Feel free to make suggestions about what you want if we are able to get into the top five places. (But remember that these would not be individual rewards; we do not want to bribe people specifically to vote, we just want to reward all players if we make it into a high spot.)

[Gwain]

I'm very pleased to see the deck of fate re-entering the game after all these years.

I'd like to suggest that if we make it to number one status that Bane be introduced as a followable patron in the mud. Ultimate incentive, more or less.

[Ceir]

I'd love to see some of the impossible-to-find spells and skills emerge one way or the other. For example, wandmaking, staffmaking, the level 7~9 spells no one seems to know how to find, would all be neat. I don't know what the other classes have missing from the game right now, but that'd be great for wizards. Ceir's not the only one who mourns the apparent absence of stuff like meteor swarm.

Also, rods of wonder (though you'd have to improvise some replacements for effects not in the game.)

That would be neat.

I think ultimately any rewards that can tie both evil and good characters into story plot to really show new players that our playerbase is active and we work on story and we work together to ultimately have fun! Bane and any world changing events could make roleplay interesting and rewarding!

[Harroghty]

To wit, that might be possible, Ceir, if someone finds Mystra's card.

I'm going to come in here and killjoy this suggestion. I don't understand why we have to do things such as this to get spells that should have been in game already, and available. Some of these spells have been stuff older wizards have been looking over several years now. It's a nice thought, but I think a little tacky based off voting for the game to get new(actually old) spells.

As for my suggestions, I like the idea of unique items. Not ones that are every day, or generic as to general population, and possibly ones that have special meaning behind them.

I agree that we shouldn't have to... but realistically, if this'd get some of the missing spells in the game, I'd vote for that.

[Bellayana]

Getting spells put in the game doesn't really add any story interaction or roleplay to the game it only adds that spells. But to be honest, all spells should be accessible already one way or another quests and the like. I like the idea of unique items that have special meaning, but that would mean that there has to be some plot or story behind them. Overall I'd honestly like to see some world plot and getting characters involved. I'm glad though that something like this can help bring the pbase together!

That's not completely true... "spell research" quests along the lines of the alchemy introduction could bring more roleplay to the game along with the spells, and passing them on from PC to PC automatically entails RP.

[Alitar]

I feel that a big story would be an excellent reward myself. Whether it is the return of Bane or perhaps an "opening ceremony" for the capital city Cormyr is of no matter, just that it is something memorable that will draw in our players and give us all memories to share.

With that said, everyone remember to vote!

[Atraos]

New Member signings appear to be suspended on TMC...I tried

[Theolund]

I'm not worried about the gain we each might individually find. I just want to see more new players. New players equal more people around equal more fun! How often can we vote?

I also noticed this yesterday.

Theo, you can vote once per day! I usually set
my phone alarm and vote before I get ready for
Work!

I'd like to suggest if we can reach our goal and have
the staff, that the Waterdeep Faire makes an appearance.
It would be very enjoyable for all!

[Theolund]

done and done!

[Alitar]

I'm on nights so it's hard to measure for me... is this day two or day three in the top 10? Also, let this message be today's friendly reminder to vote!

This sort of incentive only helps those characters that are spellcasters. What about rangers,thieves,fighters and the like? I agree that the spells could add roleplay for wizards teaching other wizards but it doesn't help the WHOLE only parts. I would like to point out that the spells should be in, and we should be at Rank 6 all the time. It takes the mud working together. Cheers!

Well for everyone else, it would be nice to see a few of the rarer weapon properties used. That cursed runeblade. The vampiric jewelled dagger. Or the vorpal scythe.

I would much rather see a story event than any weapons or feats or spells.

[Harroghty]

We have passed the requirement (five days in the top 10) for me to begin the deck of fate quest. I am heavily rebuilding some stuff in support of that quest and so it will be a couple of days before I get it back up and running, but it will happen.

This will be a semi-live, semi-automated role-play with some out-of-the-ordinary rewards in a couple of the categories that we've talked about.
