TriadCity Message of the Day
2004-07-20

Players are now able to reward Reporters -- characters who contribute articles to the City's "Adventurer" newspaper -- based on the quality of their work. Like Builder, this makes Reporter a potentially valuable Role, as rewards for completed work can continue to be granted by new players as long as the City continues to exist.

Here's how it works.

Every player -- that's player, not character -- has a pool of 1000 points per article which they're free to award, or not award, as they choose. Points can be awarded as either experience or dinars. Players can award the full 1000 points, or less, any time they like. Simply enter the points you wish to reward into the text boxes at the bottom of the left-hand column of each Adventurer page, and click the button.

Note that your rewards do not subtract from your own experience or dinars. They simply express your appreciation and evaluation of Reporters' contributions to the City.

We'll replace the hideously ugly button real soon now.

Note that the Reporter Role itself is not yet officially available within the game world. But you're strongly encouraged anyway to submit material for the newspaper. Just send it via email to TelGar. If accepted it'll be available for the spiff as soon as it's published.

Occam thanks you all in advance!

"Characters inside fictional worlds are also capable of sustaining propositional attitudes and projecting possible worlds. Eco calls these possible-worlds-within-possible-worlds subworlds; Pavel prefers the term narrative domains. It is the tension and disparity among various characters' subworlds, and between their subworlds and the fictional "real" world, that formed the basis of modernist and, before that, realist epistemological poetics."
