So i'm going to be keeping this as a log of what's going on in our session. There'll also be a who's-who and stuff like that.
PLAYERS:
Mike Mantle, unreflectingKaleidoscope, Heir of Mind
Rinny Abordo, radiantArtist, Sylph of Heart
Jen Taylor, smilingMaterialist, Guard of Breath
Elvin Serket, eraseClicks, Knight of Dreams
Kaiko Thraen, destructiveCompanion, Prince of Time
Houksan <redacted>, pouncingCatastrophe, Rogue of Flow
Hannah <TBD>, eionEtcetera, <Sylph> of <Breath> (Hacked in, part of the backstory.)
PRE-ENTRY BACKSTORY:
Basically, a group of six friends on the internet were planning on playing this game that Mike found, which sort of got forgotten about over time. By the time they remembered, a seventh (Hannah) had joined the group. Mike took it upon himself to try and reconfigure the six-player ~ATH code to allow a seventh, transferring large parts of code from other players (Sylph from Rinny, Breath from Jen, etc.) and using online advice and FAQs to fill in the gaps. Surprisingly enough, it worked, but an inexperienced coder changing the code for a game already riddled with glitches and coding errors? Yeah, that's not going to end well.
(More to come. Also prone to edits as I need to run this by my coplayers.)
ENTRY:
(server==>client)
In order of connection:
sM==>uK==>rA==>eE==>dC==>eC==>pC==>sM
This means that once the payer enters (and presumably gets through the first gate), they then immediately become the server for the next player, and so forth. Someone didn't think this through too well.
ISSUES:
- Shared Denizen for Breath players despite separate lands.
- More frequent/serious glitches due to poor editing.
- Anything else you'd expect from an odd-playered session or a duplicate-titled/aspected session. (Any tips?)
- Genesis Frog-related issues due to lack of Space player and/or 'Frogs' Land descriptor.
So yeah. I'll see if the other six players want to join the forums or no. If not, i'll happily provide text updates if anyone's interested. Also, i'm going to need a lot of advice on this, so any you can give is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Thanks to extropianDreamer for moving this over to the correct thread!
