Memorium NPC Request: Umbra Midnight

[Kistulot]

To read the end result of this line of posts, unfortunately, you'll have to head over to here:

This includes the GM response, and my response to it.

 

If you agree, please respond appropriately.

 

If you don't?

 

I don't think I need to tell you that you're allowed to post whatever you want.

I actually really like the idea of NPC costume clones for bases, at least players actually use bases.

[Kistulot]

It's not a bad idea. 🙂

 

Possibly something that might be good to have discussed as one of those possible alternatives by someone capable of talking for what might be done. 🙂

Grabbed some random screenshots from the vigil through out the day.

 

In game people were coming up, saying they didn't know them, and raising a torch. People came and went from 12:30pm to 5am and were still there when I left.

 

These are the people I posted this for.

Full support.  Thank you for pushing for it.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I am not in favor of any individual memorials.  Especially if it is someone that was pretty much only about in-game things.

There are multiple servers.  People over here probably never heard of people over there, yet there that hero (or villain, or Praetorian) is walking/standing around.
And even if someone might have encountered that player, they may not have encountered whatever character is used as their "memorial avatar".

Make a memorial plaza,  Put it somewhere convenient;  Somewhere visible.  Don't stash it in some far corner of Talos Island.  Either make a single monument and put it in Khalisti Wharf or make two monuments;  One in AP and one in Port Oakes, I think it is?  The main villain zone?  I lean towards the latter as I think that Khalisti Wharf just doesn't have enough going for it right now.  The entire zone feels like an "out of the way place" to me.

My ideal would be three statues.  Think like a triangular pillar with a hero standing with their back to each side, so they form a triangle themselves.
One female, one male, one large male.  Each body type represented.  The female hero would be in tights with a cape and a "domino mask", and then one of the males would be in tights with a cowl-type mask covering his hair (or lack thereof) and the other would be in some sort of armor costume (or give someone else the cape, or give the female the armor.  They could make it a player vote if they wanted to.  Not the point here).  They could make it three lined up in a row if they thought that one or two of the statues wouldn't get enough exposure because of the location or that everyone would just go to click on the plaque so that was the only statue people would see.

They would all be standing, head down, arms down in front of them, clasped hands or possibly if one of them had a sword they could be resting their hands on that as it was point-down into the ground in front of them.  Just going for somber, reflective, and/or respectful.  If they felt that "Sword raised", "Fist in the air" and "hands on hips" would be good to remind people of the living heroes then that's their call.

Then there would be a plaque in front of them with some kind words that memorialized ALL the fallen.

Because some players will pass quietly.  No one will know.  Maybe one or two people might wonder where so-and-so disappeared to and go one about their business.

But they matter, too.

Yeah, don't know why that'd be an unpopular opinion to make specifically in this thread. Also, they already said no, so, it was not only unpopular but unneeded, thank you.

 

Frankly, might as well lock the topic, GMs, we've got the answer.

You felt the need to bump this week old topic, which has already been resolved, why? Necromancers these days, I swear.

Last post before mine was Friday.  I posted Monday.

I didn't realize that two days made up a week, or that a two day gap was some sort of major necro.

I just think that this is/was a contentious subject, and some folks just want to move past it...

Alright so, it's been a week and a half. This is a contentious topic with nothing left to discuss. Hey, Googs, can we get this locked so we can go back to Being Excellent To Eachother over less dour topics?
