Delerak, hope your journeys are being good to you.
I'm currently trying to make a character, and I'm stuck! I've gotten through all of the application process, and am at the very end where I've been prompted to SUBMIT the app:
As you can see at the end, when I type in 'submit', I get the 'Type SKILLS...' message back. I did indeed select 3 skills already. Am I missing something?
Thanks.

I submitted a character too, haven't checked to see if it got approved yet, figured I'd get an email or something.

Cool! It'd love to see what Delerak has cooked up.

Well, I at least read through the racial roleplay docs. Elves are one fucking race, thank God, and they're also not as geared to being confined to some kind of hive-minded sociopath role, which really, does not make sense at all when you think about it. Half-elves are explained, as there's no rules about elves and humans getting it on, just that half-elves are an often unwanted byproduct of the union. HGs are not required to be as stupid, or as even-tempered or even good-natured, but they do have some interesting behavioral and thought patterns. I didn't read about humans, but, muls aren't mentioned to randomly fly into rages, empathy is still a natural byproduct of their life living among slaves, and it's mentioned that this is often used as a tool to control a mul, by punishing or killing the very prisoners who help it to escape to "punish" the mul into submission.
All around it's pretty exciting to me as well.

Elves are one fucking race, hahaha this is like delerak's #1 bugaboo. like if someone came up to me and said "tell me something about this 'delerak' person" i would say well he has some very strong opinions on elves being one race.

The c-elf/d-elf divide in Armageddon is such bullshit. I've even got notes about slowly becomming more accustomed to the sands being questionable roleplay at best, does not understand racial roleplay... as if, these traits would simply be inborn?! Really? That's not what we're told by the staff when they clarify on the GDB. All my life, I've had an intense fear of heights. This DID NOT stop me from rock-climbing, zip-lining, rappelling, or climbing up into the steel in Wal-Mart to find a much sought after item for a nice customer... it just made it, jaw-droppingly, agonizingly terrifying, but was quite a rush.
It's like, cats, though highly territorial and fearful outside of what they've come to percieve as their natural habitat, will still adapt, sooner or later, to their new stalking grounds. It's not fucking impossible, and it's not bad RP, provided the motivation is sufficient. However, looking at that note tells me either staff doesn't know what they want, or there's some conflicted ideas there. I can hope for better in the future, but for now, it's kind of a nit-pick of mine.

Well shit. I've seen that happen before and I know it's an easy fix, I just can't fix it right now, soon as I can I will.

It's retarded. Anyone who reads the actual Darksun lore gets what I'm talking about and just realizes that Arm butchered the hell out of the setting. It makes it hard to ever try and play Arm again once you read the source material. Not sure if this link still works but: adnd.denw.ru/files/file/Accessories/DSS/tsr2423%20-%20DSS3%20-%20Elves%20of%20Athas.pdfAlso where did you read up on the docs? I haven't updated the site and I can't remember if chargen allows for you to read my old help files I wrote years ago for it.

Well, while creating the character, also, you can read the docs in the OOC lounge.

I just don't know what state the game is in. It's been through so many different iterations and codebases. Kind of sad really.

It would give you them when you selected each race, but before you had to commit to one. I thought that was a good feature, and at least gives a "Terms of Service"-esque overview.

I haven't solicited anyone yet since I started this entire thread almost a year ago so here goes...
If anyone with C/C++ knowledge wants to help me work on a sweet psionics combat system, Just send me your experience, if you're a student that's cool you can work on the game as part of your college work. That's it!
Preferable email is: delerak@darksunmud.com
thanks, -D
