[spoon-discuss] On Movement


GridMin recognition of new nweek stuff in progress.
I just wanted to say a short piece on the effects of my Movement prop passing, for those who haven't fully examined what the prop did, or are new to the game.

First, all MO's have the property Movement, which is kind of like Bandwidth, in that you get so much to play around with each nweek. Many MO's have the Stat Speed, and that's what your Movement gets set to each nweek. "Moving" has been replaced with differnt words in most of the text, for clarity. The places I missed will be addressed with a forthcoming prop. The old Move action is now the Walk/Cruise/Fly action, which costs 3 Movement. As players have about 10 Speed depending on race, this means that they can generally move 3 or 4 spaces per nweek. You can now move both in and out of an airspeeder, but there's a new limitation: each object (including players) may only move or be moved by an action that costs Movement once per nday. So it'll take 3 ndays to move 3 spaces. At least you can declare ahead of time, and hope no one interferes. To put it another way, you can Walk one nday, hop in your Speeder the next (it costs a paltry 1 Movement to board it and perform all the preflight tests and such; propose a change if you don't like this bit), and then have it fly you 3 spaces away over the next three ndays. Then you could get out of and do something else with your remaining movement.

Movement is listed on the Statkeeper page.
On a related topic, my hosting: I had a bit of trouble for a bit, got my hosting back, but may lose it at any time. Should such happen, you will be devoid of a Statkeeper page until I find an alternate method of hosting. And on a topic related to that, the Gallery: I only got two submissions for it, other than my own, and I wanted to wait until I got a few more before opening up. I waited... and waited... and everyone, including me, forgot about it. However, should you people send me either links or attachments (please don't kill my Hotmail -- my account size is 2 MB), I'll be happy to open it up.
