Radio Madbrahmin suggestions
« on: February 09, 2010, 10:07:59 pm »

 Hello devs, GM, event makers.

 I am Lordus ingame (and his family) and maybe some of you GMs knows me or my roleplaying projects (Wipe church, Radio Madbrahmin). I need help from you. Your current anti alts and anti dual log  measures ruined  my current RP project, Radio Madbrahmin.

 The purpose of Radio Madbrahmin is to broadcast lyrics from famous or fallout related songs, broadcast wasteland news and announcements about VSB or NA events and fights, commercials and feedback from listeners.

 Because of the system does not support any other way how to realize this project, i used my own scripts to broadcast. Thats means, that i must have second computer with second installation of fonline which is dual loged with my main computer. My scripts cannot be paused. I can only play or stop them. So if i want to respond to some listeners (yes, i have listeners, f.e. Vedaras, the King of the Wasteland, no they are not bots :) ) and i dont want to stop all program, i must use my main computer, with my main fonline instalation, my radio tunned on same channel. So i need dual log. If you can remember, i started this project at time, when emphasis on prohibition of this behaviour was not so heavy. So i did not made this project to evade the rules.

 My two chars. were jailed because of this bot. With help of one good GM we made little compromise. I can broadcast, but only with my new char and only from prison. That looks ok on first sign, BUT with compartion with my previous LIVE broadcast from NCR i have some difficulties now.

 I can broadcast only to radio.. So i cant make announncment to players located near me (in NCR). I have no feedback with listeners. I cant add new advertisement from other players. I cant report news. I cant make competitions (kill tent thief Dremor, First Aid radio help,...). The result is that i cant no longer continue with this role play project. (Imagination + motivation) *  effort / regulation = innovation.

 So i need to make some new compromise. I want to move this project to another point with new role play ideas and i cant now.

 Thx for response, Lordus.

Actually, it seems like Lordus missed the point. He was told he can dual log (it's extraordinary exception from the general rule), as long as it will be 1 main character + his jailed radio broadcasting alt. So he can use his main character to interact with listeners in NCR, while the jailed alt is broadcasting. If he will be caught dual logging alts OTHER than the broadcasting alt, he will be banned and his radio station will be gone forever, but as long as it's 1 main char + radiostation jailed alt dual log, everything is OK.

 I fully understand to our agreement Jovanka, but i want to play like regular player too. Regular play needs to spent a lot of time in non Human Player enviroment. I want to PvP together with my teamates. So i must level up (xxx of hours) my combat char (no Humans there). I must craft (xx hours) to supply my combat char (no humans there). I must gather (x hours) resources (no humans there). So i spent a lot of time in non human player enviroment. Even if my char is in contact with real humans in previous described situations, it is almost my teamates so i can report the news related only to my teamates and this is not purpose of public radio broadcasting.

 I cant spent more time ingame. So it looks that i have to make a choice and leave gang or leave this project. And i want to not leave nothing.

 If you think ,that my "radio station" is getting any advantage, you are wrong. The char is most of the time occupied by the script and i cant level up (level 8 from wipe is not too much), he cant craft because he is in the city and he is not crafter, he cant fight and he cant loot (low ST).

Your 3rd "NCR radio" alt could be a high level trader for example, it's just not possible to allow your dual logs to run freely. We would have to watch you all the time.
Or maybe it is possible, but it's not up to me for sure.

jup jovanka, how can lordulin anounce the news and etc with the main character if the character is in fight with faction in gecko for example?

And in past times, lordulin announced us all news in ncr, helped us sell our stuff and etc. I think you should let it be the previous way :>

Look at this formula:  (Imagination + motivation) *  effort / regulation = innovation 

 I have more projects in my head which are aimed to add more player interaction and which requires!! dual logs, but when the status is not green, i cant continue with this. As i said, innovation is not red coloured only because you Jovanka, so i thank you, but i need this result: innovation.
