sounds interesting. to bring this discussion back to games, i listened to the RadioLab episode on That Dragon, Cancer. loving heart wrenching but definitely made me consider picking up the game if it's in the next steam sale. :unsmith:

Things All Players and Especially New Players Should Know
time

General
- To sign up to a game, sign up to the Goon Game Service here. Yes Steam profile link over Desura is fine. Once registered & verified, you can claim a nation of a game in signup phase (read the Message from host in case there are special rules). Also good to check the PGS thread for more info.
- To connect to the game, go to Network in Dom4, and connect to the ip address and port listed on the page. Please note the Goon Game Service is just a tracker site. It does NOT interact with the Dominions 4 server for you.
- To make a pretender for multiplayer: First, make sure the right mods are active. The easiest way is to connect to the server then disconnect. Then go to Game Tools -> Create a Pretender God. Once the pretender is finished, reconnect to the server and pick the nation. If you have only one pretender it'll upload automatically.
- Remember to give your god a password for multiplayer network games, or else some rear end in a top hat could log in and teleport all your mages into the ocean and rename all your commanders "Dongs".
- DO NOT PRESS START. All you'll do is delay the game and extract an idiot tax from the host who was stupid enough to keep this option enabled.
- If your menus are disappearing or you're having regular crashes generating turns, this is the game's copy protection in action. You may have entered your serial key incorrectly, in which case edit or delete the "key" file in the main directory. I'm sure you can imagine the other reason why you'd trigger the copy protection.
- To host a game, you'll need a computer that can be on 24/7 and a stable internet connection. Use a script or a specialized shortcut to run the game in text-only mode.
- Here is a server script by brainwrinkle, scripts make hosting easier by helping you do game settings and backing up turn files.
- To have someone else host a game for you, so long as you're willing to take care of the fussy people details (announcing the game, signing folks up, switching folks to AI, finding replacements, etc), one of forums members TenjouUtena or gp1628 will be willing to host the game for you. Drop a message for one of them by PM or on IRC. Guide by TenjouUtena. Check out gp1628's instructions here.

Multiplayer Etiquette
- A game of Dominions can last for 3+ months. When signing up for a new game, make sure you can commit for the whole run.
- Take it easy joining more than two or three games at once, and space out your signups by at least a week. Turns take 5 minutes to do at first, but towards endgame they can take from 30 minutes to 2 hours. You don’t want to be in three games that are all in endgame at the same time.
- A silent neighbor is more threatening than a friendly one. Talk to your neighbors.
- Make all timer requests either to the host directly or in the PGS thread.
- If you have to drop out, please let the PGS thread or host know. You might find a substitute or the host might delay the game for you. AI control is permanent and fighting AIs is no fun for the other players.
- If you’ve been knocked down so hard that you cannot realistically get back up it is ok to set your nation to computer control. It's a learning experience to fight to the bitter end if you want to.

I'm still down but that is an absolutely ridiculous amount of work for them to expect their players to do something that probably requires just passing some moves to a server and then the server resolving the turns

Fabricated posted:

Bloodborne was my 2015 goty but the one thing about its storytelling thats kinda annoying is that it doesn't really explain anything about the player character

like, you gotta read a lot of flavor text to get the whole picture in bloodborne but you can get a pretty accurate picture of the entire story/history of the world in general doing that- without having to guess at too much

but in exact opposite to the Souls series your character's motivation is like the only thing that's not really explicitly made clear and that's weird

Like Demons'/Dark Souls pretty explicitly explains your character's quest (in Demon's Souls you're literally just an adventurer looking to stop the fog- either for person glory/fame or because it's the right thing to do. The Undead in DS1/2 have pretty specific destinies), and kinda leaves aspects of the world for you to guess at.

If you look hard enough in Bloodborne you get a rough timeline for the whole debacle that happened in Yharnam (and before it), and largely explained backstories for almost all notable NPCs and figures. But what exactly IS Paleblood and why are you looking for it? i dunno

my take (stolen largely from paleblood hunt) is this

the PC has a disease and comes to yharnam in search of a cure. the minister, working in conjunction with iosefka and gehrman, gives you a transfusion and turns you into a hunter of the dream. the note you find, "seek paleblood to transcend the hunt", is not directed to you but rather to gehrman. only hunters with paleblood can become hunters of the dream and stand a chance against the great ones. ultimately it turns out that the rest of the game is the moon presence manipulating you to hunt mergo, and the third ending is you resisting the will of the moon presence and killing it as well.

as for wtf paleblood is, no idea lol

Cnidaria: Apr 10, 2009; It's all politics, Mike.

Paleblood is probably just the state of the world caused by the mensis ritual. The notes that mention paleblood in yahar'gul and the lecture building both relate to the sky and blood moon caused by the ritual.

it's the moon presence
