Pocket D dancers

[Display Name]

Can a few more dancers be added that don't have a partner?  I'm not asking to cover the floor, of course.  Maybe some ATs (Ghost Widow, Manticore, etc) too. That way, after a hard day's work arresting criminals/defeating heroes, I can go dance for a while without having to feel like I'm intruding.

 

Also, could you add at least one more Ring Mistress?  Their outfits are so hot!

The more dancers put in, the less space available for players,

I don't see the harm, especially if the new "single" NPCs come with some snappy brush off text if you click on them.  😁🤣

No one asked to fill the place wall to wall with NPCs so there's no room to move.  Honestly, outside of AE, is Pocket D ever that crowded anymore?

Thank you for again misunderstanding my post. Just moving War Witch was a huge hassle because of the floor space she takes up, and she was already in Pocket D.

Depends on the server I would think.  There seems to always be some people around on Everlasting.

Well sure, there's some people.  Is there so many adding a couple more NPCs will make it that there's no room to move?  No.

I'm not sure actually, I don't have much of an opinion.   Moving WW down I thought wasn't that great, but just because it seemed she liked overseeing the dance floor and now she's on the main floor.   (I think got moved to get the leveling traffic down out of the bar?)    In any case, it's probably not that big of a deal.  Certainly less work than Blarf (though he was an important experiment)

Now what would be interesting is, you start a dance emote (maybe certain ones), you get joined by a random NPC.

You missed my point twice. It's not about moving War Witch. It's not about having space to move around. War Witch was just the example I used for the problem. The problem is that every part of Pocket D is claimed by one group of players or another, and putting NPCs there leads to arguments about players having lost space. I don't really care if a few more dancers are added. All I am saying is that adding those few extra dancers runs up against the concern of players needing available space for themselves and/or their groups. And no, they aren't willing to move to a different space. Either because that space is used by other players or because the space they claimed is what fits their group. And this is along the walls and the dance floor.

There was a huge fight over the spot where she was standing.  Some people wanted to stand there, other people didn't want her moved, names were called, rubber chickens were waved ominously, the usual.  It was hilarious.  Sorry you missed it.

You should've started with that as this makes more sense.  How someone is supposed to glean all that from "the more dancers put in, the less space available for players", I don't know.

Seriously?  Never heard of this before.  Can't say I'm surprised that a handful of people complained about something.  I'm glad I missed it.  Only thing I can say on that note is that nothing in Pocket D or anywhere in the game "their" space to claim in the first place.  If their life is ruined because *gasp* an NPC is standing in "their" favorite spot, oh well.  Get over it.

And why should one person's request to add an NPC to a location other players are already making use of trump those other players' desire to use that space?

 

Edit: You see? This was a huge part of the argument about moving War Witch to where she is now.

I'd like another standard SG Portal in the Tiki Club for Players who want to be out-of-the-way.  Maybe the servers in the Tiki Club also be restored as Inspiration Vendors.

There is no "argument".  No player owns a particular space anywhere in the game nor can they own the space, so laying claim to it as "theirs" doesn't work.

Although I don't care, one way or the other, about adding more NPC's to Pocket D, I agree with this general sentiment.

To the people who complained about this - some famous words of wisdom from a fellow Canadian.

Same here.

Isn't that what the OP is asking for too though? To have a space where his/her/their character can dance with an NPC?

 

Edit: Once those dancers are added to that space, that space is no longer viable for groups of players to make use of for themselves. So the intent is to claim some space in Pocket D for the author to be able to dance with an NPC. Simply because of how much space NPCs take up.

Far as I can tell, the OP didn't ask for any specific location(s) in Pocket D for NPCs to be added, unlike the example you provided where the specific space on the wall WW got moved to that a couple of people ridiculously tried to claim is "theirs".  Again, space in the game doesn't belong to any player.  It belongs to the people running the show, and if they decide that they like the OPs idea and want to add a few single dancing NPCs to the Pocket D map, they'll do it and there's nothing anyone here can do about it.  They've added other NPCs into the game, like Curipira, Ascendant and Luna.  Are they ok where they are or should they get moved/removed?

Pocket D is a big space.  It's not like it's standing room only in there.  There's plenty of room for everyone.  If people are truly that desperate for their own private dance club space, make use of the base editor and build your own club.  They can add as many or as few NPCs to the environment as they want in there and no one but them can move NPCs around.

Doesn't that also apply to the OP? Can't the author just add dancing NPCs to his/her/their base to dance with?

 

Again, I don't care if extra dancers are added. However, every argument you have made for the OP is also an argument against it.

[PeregrineFalcon]

You two seem so determined to argue about everything lately and I'm trying very hard to resist the cliche suggestion of "get a room."

Yes it does and yes, they can.  That doesn't change anything in regard to the stupidity of the excuse of players laying personal claim to space on a game map.  Curupira, Ascendant, Luna, Coyote, Glory Hound, Raine Hartfall, Norsewind, Infurno and other NPCs were all added to areas that are taking up space.  Or is no one claiming the space in ICON or in Steel Canyon or Croatoa they are occupying?  Again, if the people running this server like the OPs idea and want to add a couple of NPCs to Pocket D, they'll do it.  Nothing anyone can do about it.

Same goes for you and I don't really care either.  I just don't see the excuse of a player saying that space on the Pocket D map is "theirs" so a request like this can't be made.  Players can't claim space in game, so that shouldn't be a deterrent at all.  You're of course welcome to disagree.

I AM RIGHT!!

 

Also, you are wrong, which makes me even more right.
