Mysterious Stranger
« on: August 27, 2010, 06:05:10 am »

MAD IDEA ALERT!

A GM should take up the role of the Mysterious Stranger.

I think Surf Solar would suit this role, as he seems to be against bombing and theifs and anarchy in general.

What do the wastelanders think?

It is a perk from fallout 1 2 and 3.

Only shows up when u are in an enc. He helps u out.

Mysterious Stranger is like the ultimate western gunslinger.
Think of Roland Deschain from the dark tower books by Stephen King, if u hav read them of course.

I think it is a cool idea.
if a GM can pop into an encounter of course.
And having it happen would be based on real life luck. :)

not if it's proven that the caller has the perk, AND that the gm isn't always rushing to there help, but instead of a GM, maby a Bot that works by the luck system.....?

Well if it was made, Mysterious Stranger has to be strictly anti pk. That why i suggest Surf Solar.

It has to be random, and u could play for 1yr without having it happen to u.
I think this is an acceptable thing in Fonline.
It should be a totally random enc, the GM pops into the enc as the mysterious starnger.

If a GM has the power to pop into any enc a player is in, and be able to tell if wastelander needs help. Then it should work.
Trusted GM by the Devs should hav access to mysterious stanger char.

give me a magic spell "summoning friendly GM" thread :)
GMs should be event organisers, problems solving and such at least in theory, they sometimes participate in game but only with usual player's restrictions.

I prefer the idea that GM is playing the role of the Man in Black. As a symbol of impending wipe-o-calypse, he will appear in the cities, kill, resurrect people do mystical things.he should be dressed in a black robe   :P

This is most dumb ass idea i have ever read. You can take perk, that you could use maybe once/era, that will summon GM (normal life or their supermmans chars) and because of random, he will helps you agains brutal radscorpion attack in random encounter.

 I suggest another idea: summon Cvet developer, he could clean up your tent once a week. That will be Awesome, aaaaah :p

Worse Idea then the one he suggested!

My version - Summon me, I will clean your tent, kill you, loot you and you can do it again once a 3 days. Now thats good!

I still can be reached over e-mail if you somehow need anything from me. Don't see a reason why you would, but if you do, e-mail remains the safest bet, as I do not visit this forum reliably anymore.

How could you possibly think this could actually work with another player being the Stranger? Really?

Maybe, if you implement it as a NPC, it could work, but remember that the majority if things out there are scorpions, as Gizmo said. No one would seriously pick this Perk unless they really have nothing better.

GMs are here to stop cheaters, exploiters, help people out of bugs (since this is a beta), and run events (and this is just a kind extra). Not to help you kill scorpions.

 if i will forget than GM are here from another reason than you cant find real friend to help you,
 30 HP is  1/3 of damage that Avenger can do in one burst against CA BH build. Ehm, even if you will be able to call somebody, you will be death for long time and your "help" will not even overview the situation (who is PK, who is not, who called him, if there will be 2 players with same perk,....)

 But continute with evolving this idea. I suggest that you can take 2 times this perk and you can "summon" 5 minute roleback. ;P
