I've got to say I had a fantastic time with this storyline. It was well written and executed so a big thanks go to all that were involved. My only complaint, if I had one, was that it was short!

Greatly looking forward to more storylines on Four Winds.


Kudos to all the NPCs and PCs for great times,

-Jeremy, player of Kronius (who now must face a really pissed off Luukos)

I'm amused by the fact that four GMs worked on it... but you had to get permission from more than that (5) to do it. :)

Then again, I'm easily amused....

>>My only complaint, if I had one, was that it was short!

Yeah, it was only 15 days long. The storyline had a tough time gaining interest. It wasn't until the second time the GameHost's NPCs showed up (in the jungle on the raft) did I see more player activity.

>>I'm still very sad that Vahmyr had to die, though.

Yeah, I'm sad to let him go. He was my second NPC I rolled up (Rawgur was my first). Most my merchants were "conceived" shortly after I cleared training when I started as a GameMaster. And because of that, many of them didn't really vary in personality or services they offered. So I wanted to start fresh for 2012, but I wanted to make sure it was a one-way street.

>>I'm amused by the fact that four GMs worked on it... but you had to get permission from more than that (5) to do it. :)

Oh, it was only me who was active during the storyline. Everyone else was permissions and approvals (I'm lumping QCing into approval, but technically, they are involved in the room building)! That should make you even more amused?

>>Prime and Platinum differences

I was asked what all was different between each instance and what easter eggs might have been missed. First, let me say, I put easter eggs everywhere. If I build an area, chances are I put little hidden things to find. You'll need to LOOK everywhere and try to interact with room objects. Ebon Gate for example had a ton, that I don't think many really found (I should post about it).

The water in the bucket on the Fallen Corsair has some hidden commands you can use on it. The rubble on the Forsaken Isle had a body trapped under it. That body was actually a pirate who was in the jungle the day Jarmonde and Waesta arrived, if anyone explored the jungle to try to find their ship. The peaches, bottles, and rum from the crates leave behind things once they are fully consumed. In the treasure pile at the end, the gold is engraved with two Xs, primitive way to tell how pure it was. The title of the storyline is a zombie reference (Day of the Dead, etc).

One of the big differences between Prime and Platinum was Platinum didn't have any real Luukosian conspiracy going on in the background by players, which in turn changed the climax of the storyline for Prime. For awhile in Prime, several players thought Cidolfhus was working against Vahmyr, when in reality, it was the other way around. In Platinum the mermaid possessed Vahmyr. In both instances, the jewel escaped the isle, which was not something I thought would happen. But in both instances, players gave the jewel up. I thought for sure a Luukosian or evil player would try to keep that! And there were a ton of minor differences that were just character specific things.

All said and done, it was a lot of fun.

>>He has an arrow stuck in his left leg.

I blame Rolfard and his little imp! That bastard stole the jewel as we were offering it to Luukos!

>>"In essence, Spirit is always with me, but Judgement and Revenge will be my weapons in the end."

I had a great time with this event and congrats on your first work of art. I thought it was interesting that the Isle of the Four Winds seemed to be moving at one point and thought several people RP'd that pretty nice. I also enjoyed the near end after we went through the portal and say Vahmyr die. All the speculation on what it meant and whether he was coming back as a winged zombie captain or not.

I only have a couple of points that were on the less than positive side. The swimming to the isle for me was a horrible experience. I could not swim with my armor on and it would not fit in my container(s). Someone dragged me or you actually moved me along. Not really sure which. After that when Cidholfus said to meet at the harbor, many of us were confused and not sure where to go. Many of us spent a long time on the pedal boats thinking that was the way back. After using a society ability to return, Cidolfus was basically saying good bye and I missed that entire last part. Clearer direction there, or Cid taking us back as a group might have been a little better.

Overall, it was an enjoyable time and I thank-you for your efforts. Can you tell us here what happened to the jewel after it killed Vahmyr? Also, anything that Cid might have said back at the harbor that might be continuing the storyline or closing it out?

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick response on that stuff.

I know I don't visit IFW unless there is a merchant. Not in GoS so lack of hunting grounds is the primary reason there.

I gotta get better with my gods so I can better follow some of those storylines such as the Luukosians wanting the gem and such.

Thanks for letting us that missed it know what happened on the ship back at the harbor. Still a memory I will keep for a long time as I don't get to partake in these types of events often. For a brief moment, I had memories of the maiden voyage of the Dhu Gilliwak. But, it was only fleeting.

Thanks again!

It was interesting. And the decision was to the players, which made it neat, I hope.
