    There is a marked difference between asking for more information about a proposal, especially when the proposal has already been pointed out as lacking justification, and trolling a thread. This thread has not been trolled by anyone.

     

    Edit: There is also a difference between pointing out flaws and trolling. This thread still has not been trolled.

     

    Ok, np. But it was simple suggestion. I know the devs would need to make an entire background for this new GM and so on. And I would prefer to get new powers and stuff like these. But I though, if was made right, a scary big ghost would bring a bit more adventure to that map.

    Why does a GM-level super need a disguise?  What, Batman died and gained as much power as Thanos with his gauntlet, went ape-shit and started... terrorizing a farming community?

    You guys are just trolling me now, right?

     

    But ok, he need the disguise while he was alive, and since the ghosts of Croatoa have cloth it make sense that he died with his costume. But other idea could be... he is a spirit o vengance, like Ghost Rider.

     

    Anyway, the devs will judge if they like my idea... Peace!

    First question: Why would a super hero need to disguise himself/herself as a citizen of Croatoa? They aren't enemy agents attempting to infiltrate hostile territory.

     

    Second question: Since all the ghosts in Croatoa are happy to leave Croatoa once the Red Cap influence keeping them bound there is lifted, why would the ghosts even have a giant monster presence? They don't want to be there. At all.

     

    Croatoa already has Eochai and Jack in Irons. And if I remember correctly, the war is a separate event from the giant monsters themselves spawning. So I think there can be multiple instances of them in the zone, the pair fighting when they reach the north, and individually at their non-war spawn points. And that isn't even counting when their seasonal event duplicates appear during Halloween. Croatoa is full. The ghosts don't even want to be involved in anything going on there. They say as much in the missions where they actually thank you for enabling them to leave.

     

    Edit: And unlike Scrapyard who died fighting Mako while fighting for his fellow Scrapyarders' freedom and is summoned routinely by the Scrapyarders to help keep fighting Cage and Arachnos for their freedom, the Salamanca/Croatoa ghosts don't have a focus to keep them there. They are trapped souls trying to leave, not willing combatants ready and waiting to be called back to take up a fight they have no interest in.

     

    no need to overcomplicated, some superheroes need disguise, others don't

    So here's why -

     

    Ghosts: Former citizens of Salmanca. They're only there because Salmanca is being drawn into "Croatoa," the spirit world, and any anger (etc) is mostly a side effect of Red Cap shenanigans.

     

    Tuatha de Danaan - one side trapped in an "eternal war." They're mostly forced into it by the Red Caps.

     

    fir Bolg - The ones "eternally fighting" the Tuatha. They have an alliance (or at least understanding) with the Cabal. (Their "Champion" - Eochai)

     

    (The Tuatha and fir Bolg use the names of groups in Irish mythology.)

     

    Red Caps - Nasty imps who just exist to cause pain and suffering. The ones *doing* the trapping of the Tuatha and fir Bolg, where they die and resurrect to just fight again. (Their "champion" - Jack in Irons, who's helping them willingly.) (Red Caps are more English/Scottish myth IIRC, the caps being red because they're dipped in the blood of their victims.) 

     

    Cabal - the "witches." I'm slightly rusty here, but IIRC the Red Caps were responsible for the death of their husbands/sons/etc. - they've been fighting for a long time.)

     

    When they spawn independently, you'll see the only ones accompanying Eo and Jack are fir Bolg and Red Caps. The Cabal get into the war up north because they're there. The ghosts are just in the way (and targets of both the Cabal and - indirectly, or at least kept as future targets by - the Red Caps.)

     

     

    Ok, so maybe this new GM could be a ghost of supervillain, or superhero, disguised as a citizen of Croatoa before they got all dead.

    @Greycat has a point - including a pitch for a ghost GM would help give more to latch on for the suggestion.

     

    Off the top of my head though, if it were to be implemented... Well, there are the Ghost mobs already in Croatoa that could easily connect to any spectral GM. The spirit of some famous local hero could be a neat take. A deceased super, corrupted or connected to the invading spirit world like the other Ghosts, forced to join the Eternal War. Have a really powerful Cabal witch spirit run amok somewhere, seeking revenge for her slain/captive coven sisters. Heck, maybe the will-o'-the-wisps can Voltron themselves into a giant one that actually attacks people.

     

    Alternately, tuck some Circle mages off somewhere and have them empower an archmage into a giant wizard ghost via tapping through the thin veil between worlds. The inhabitants of Orange Bagel having absolutely no presence in Croatoa always seemed odd to me (I understand it keeps a tight focus on the Celtic mythology theme of the zone, but come on - if they were willing to use the Faultline dam, they'd absolutely want to get in on Salamanca's shenanigans for their own gain somehow).

     

    yeah, I thought it might be something like the Statesman's spirit too. And for those who asked me the "why" of this suggestion, because I like new features in a game that I like. Is that simple.

    Dark Demon, you need to go to the "plot" button on the entry room popup, or type /editbase 3 to get the upgrade plot prompt; go into that and look to see the total number of items placed. You have not chosen whether your base should be in the under or over 7k items, and the pic is so we know how you got that total. I'm guessing from the total here, that  your whole base is not over 7k, but you do need to specify which category you are entering. Thanks!

    k, changed now. Tks
