[Audyssey] New member

2012-05-01 Thread Shannon Dyer
Hi, all.

I'm Shannon from New York. Some of you probably know me from other lists.

I enjoy games of all kinds, but my current passion is RPG's and strategy games. 
I've played the Storm8 games for IOS devices, and have recently discovered Uken 
Games, also for IOS. King of Dragon Pass is also quite awesome, although I've 
only managed to win it once. (Smile)

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any other IOS or Mac-based games that I 
might enjoy.

Happy gaming, all.

Shannon

Hi, Dennis.

I was looking at your Mud, and it seems to only work on PC's. Is there any way 
of getting it to work on a Mac?

[Audyssey] fairly basic mudding question

2012-05-01 Thread Shannon Dyer
Hi, all.

I'm sorry to post what might seem like a really silly question, but it's really 
baffling me.

I know that I can type inventory to see what I'm carrying, and look to find out 
what it's around me, but how can I find out what I'm wearing? I'm playing Alter 
Aeon, if that makes a difference.

Re: [Audyssey] GMA Games was Times Ashes Collection

Another good thing to note about GMA games is that they've developed an 
absolutely wonderful and fully accessible mud client for windows. It's called 
VIPMud. You can buy it for $30, but you get a free 30-day trial.

 Hi, all.
 
 I thought while we were on the discussion of MUDS I'd get some opinions.
 Recently I've read about a MUD called Achaea.  I am wondering if anyone on
 the list plays it or who has played it.  I've heard the combat is quite
 complex, especially during PVP and I'm wondering if its doable with a reader
 and maybe some sound triggers?  I am seriously thinking about creating a
 character on the game so if anyone has any tips on how to play using JAWS
 and vip mud it would be great to know about them and also any in game tips
 that might make things easier.  I am not sure how to script using VIP MUD
 but I'm willing to try if scripts are needed to make gameplay easier.

 Lindsay,
 
 I feel your pain.  Your characters are in one of the level ranges that
 we know is weak, and while we're working to add more areas around that
 level, it can be hard if you don't know what you're doing.  I actually
 wrote an article on this a couple of years ago:
 
 http://www.alteraeon.com/articles/experience-runs-on-archais.html
 
 The level ranges in that article aren't quite accurate anymore - most
 of the areas have been raised in level, so be careful going to them.
 The article also doesn't include the stuff in the new dark forest,
 which I found hugely helpful.
 
 Please let me know if any of those work out better for you, or if the
 guide is too out of date to be useful.
 
 Thanks,

Re: [Audyssey] Seeking Information on MUDs

2012-06-27 Thread Shannon Dyer
Yay for muds. I'm a huge fan of Aetolia by Iron Realms. Roleplay is heavily 
encouraged. You can do combat, if you like, but it's a very complex world, and 
so, it's not necessary just to go around killing things.

I do use VIPMud, but I find it has a limitation when it comes to writing long 
things like in books, journals, and scrolls. I'm trying to figure out a way 
around this. I'll let you know if I succeed.

IPhone mudding is slow for me. I think the client is called TMC, but I'll 
double check that for you.

 Hi,
 
 For years, I played on AmberMUSH and a few Pern MUSHes. Then real life took
 over and I disappeared from the MUSH scene for a while.
 
 I'm not sure there are really MUSHes left.  Text-based role-playing in that
 fashion seems to have been replaced by World of Warcraft and other MMORPGs.
 
 
 I know there are still some MUDs out there, but I've always had the
 impression that these were more combat-oriented games, with a lot less
 role-playing going on.
 
 I have a few questions for those willing to help:
 
 Can you recommend good MUDs?  Are there any that have a good balance between
 role-playing and combat?  How many users does the typical MUD have at one
 time?  Are there opportunities for building and coding as there were on the
 MUSH?  
 
 For combat themed MUDs, is speed a high priority?  If so, what is the best
 client for us to achieve that as blind players?  I use JAWS 13, Eloquence
 and a Braille display  .When I was MUSHing, I used SimpleMU, which worked
 well.  I was able to code it to do some cool things, and tinker with JAWS to
 make it read well. I think I saw some references to VIPMud.  Is it better
 for Mudding?
 
 Are there MUD clients that will work on the iPhone, and what are their
 pluses and minuses?  If I play on the iPhone, I will certainly want to use
 the Braille display for input. Is this likely to pose a problem?
 
 That's probably enough to get started.
 
 Thanks in advance for your help.

[Audyssey] help configuring mudder

2012-06-28 Thread Shannon Dyer
Hi, all.

I've heard a lot of good things about the Mudder client for the Mac. I 
purchased it this morning, but I don't think I have it set right. I can't get 
voiceover to stop speaking. It just reads and reads and reads, very slowly, I 
might add. This doesn't work well in most of the muds I play. So, is there a 
way to get it to stop reading, and to speed up its rate of speech? Also, are 
there other helpful settings I might not know about that will make it more 
accessible with VO? For instance, I don't always see the edit box to put 
commands into. It seems that, when mudder goes on one of its insane reading 
binges, that edit box goes away. Is there something I can do to fix this?

It looks like it could be a really nice client after a bit of tweaking.

 Hello.
 
 there are actually very many muds around, in both combat and rp catagories,
 and some with a mix of both. myself, as online rp isn't something I find
 interesting I tend to play for pure combat, but even in an extremely combat
 heavy game like alteraeon or materiamagica there are players who rp.
 
 Some specifically rp orientated muds I've heard of have been new worlds
 ateraan, Avatar mud, federation 2 and dark isles, check out the games to
 play online page at www.whitestick.co.uk for a list to some of their sites.
 
 I'm not sure what these games are like, not being an rp fan, but I've heard
 people often say good things about new worlds ateraan and federation 2
 especially.
 
 As to clients and speed, well vipmud from www.gmagames.com is probably the
 best and most accessible client, working automatically with several text
 output methods, including sapi, window eyes, jaws and system access. it has
 a very easy to handle interface and facilities for triggers, aliases and
 full on scripting if you wish, though using it basically is also fine. It's
 a commercial program, but the free version has little restrictions, indeed
 the only major restirction I found in the free version is the lack of msp
 (and not too many muds have sounds anyway, though i did buy the program
 myself to support gma).
 
 the one exception to this rule is alteraeon, sinse I'd strongly advise if
 you want to play that game using the custom mushclient script designed by
 oriol gomez that turns the game into virtually an audio rpg.
 
 As I said, rp isn't as much my thing, but even in very combat heavy muds
 there are players who do it, and some muds, like those I've mentioned are
 very much more rp focused, it's just a case of looking around, reading mud
 descriptions and finding ones you like.
 
 hth.
 
 All the best,
 
 Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] Silver sword and other ios games for access?

KODP is actually pretty simple to use. The map is a bit tricky, but you only 
use it to explore, and, if you have questions about using it, I'm happy to 
assist.

 glad.
 
 I looked at a guide to the game on applevis, but it listed some wonkey 
 problems relating to things like the map and other stuff that I didn't feel 
 my vo  skills were equal to.
 
 If however  further access changes have been made to the game and the 
 applevis guide is out of date,I'd love to try the thing sinse it sounds right 
 up my street! indeed, even though I'm still! waiting for my network to

 Hi christina.

 when however I questioned them about whether they could create accessible pc

 have access issues on Ios 6 but if those are fixed I will be interested in

 Hi.
 One of my first iPhone games was Choice of the Dragon.  I think it's free 
 or
 a dollar.  It's a text game and it helps you practice the gestures for
 reading the screen and moving between pages.
 You play a dragon and the choices you make effect your personality traits.
 Enjoy.

 Hi.
 
 As people will know, my Iphone is turning up this afternoon. I think I 
 know
 what I am doing with setup and such, but I would be interested in people's
 recommendations for games.
 
 the thing that taught me most about using supernova particularly on the 
 net,
 was actually playing games like Legend of the green dragon and ashes of
 angels. i suspect vo is the same, and I do know there is a learning curve,
 however to make learning a little more pleasant and give me some 
 incentive,
 are there   games people could recommend with a fairly simple interface?
 
 king of dragon pass looks amazing, and I really look forward to trying it,
 however the fact that it seems to take a little bit of wangling to play
 probably doesn't make it ideal as a first game for vo  practice.
 
 how about silver sword? how about gamebooks? is the lost cities card game
 relatively  straight forward in terms of controls?
 
 I know there is a training area, but as I've found in the past nothing is
 better for learning than just rolling up my sleeves and doing, and nothing
 is more fun to do on a computer than play games!
 
 so, I'd very much appreciate people's suggestions and thoughts here.
 
 I did! load up safari during my play with an Iphone and attempt to brouse
 audiogames.net, but that didn't go exactly smoothly.
 
 Any thoughts?
 
 all the best,
 
 dark.

 I'll admit there is a learning curve sinse it's quite unusual to get a game

[Audyssey] looking for one foundation help

Hi, all.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a podcast that explains how to play one 
foundation for IOS. I read the rules, but, when I look at the cards I'm dealt, 
I don't know what to do. Somehow, I managed to get a score of five, but it must 
have been a fluke, as I have no clue how I did it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 Freeq
 FREEQ is an audio adventure game for iPhone and android mobile devices
 $4.99 USD
 by Psychic Bunny
 An audio adventure game that gives you the amazing ability to tune in to 
 phone calls and radio signals from the past or future. You can essentially 
 travel through time and change the world.
 
 After a major disaster, there's only one society left on Earth. You can use 
 your powerful tool to tune in to their dramatic conversations about affairs, 
 arguments, experiments, and more.
 
 This is nothing like the games you're used to playing on your iPhone.
 
 There are plenty of instructions to read through before you get started. I do 
 actually recommend reading them all so you don't find things confusing once 
 you start searching for signals to hijack.
 Hijacking a phone line is done in two stages. The first involves tilting your 
 phone until you find a signal and the second involves a switchboard where you 
 have to decide who to connect with. If you don't make your decision quickly 
 enough, you'll lose your signal and end up back at the first stage.
 
 The story you end up being a part of depends on who you connect with and when 
 you make make the connections. It's worth listening to the conversations 
 carefully so you can decide on what connections to make next. Every 
 conversation you create will give you more clues about what actually caused 
 the world to end.
 
 The actual process of finding signals and hijacking conversations is quite 
 repetitive. This app is entertaining because of the stories. The fact that 
 some people know that you're listening to their conversations makes it even 
 more interesting. After listening to a few phone calls, you'll really want to 
 know how the story ends and what happens to the characters involved.
 If you're the type who enjoys interactive stories and radio shows, you'll 
 love FREEQ. It's also worth checking out if you're getting bored with normal 
 iPhone games and want to try something completely different.
 
 Version 1.2
 Accessibility Update! FREEQ is now usable for blind and low-vision players.
 Audio instructions are in-game for further information.
 It has an accessibility mode that uses voiceover like jestures, that being 
 flick  and double tap. To activate it, you put your thumb and finger together 
 then slide them both away from each other, like the opposite of a pinch in 
 smack me.

 free to follow me and check them out. my ID is bubbygirl. I will try to

 You have the pack of cards which you can draw from, then you have the 
 foundation card.  This is the card you have to place other cars on. the 
 object of the game is  to use all the cards. So, let's say the foundation 
 card is an 8. Look through the cards that say exposed and if you have a 9 or 
 a 7 double tap and the card will go on top of the 8. The new card is now your 
 foundation card. So let's say it was a 9. Now you can put a 10 or 8 on the 9. 
 Once you have made all possible plays draw another card from the pack. 
 
 I hope this helps

I've played that a little bit, but find myself getting lost a lot. Aetolia,

It should ask you to enter a number to either create a character, enter the

 create a character just now and having supreme lack of success. Lol. I
 tried connecting with MushClient, and I appeared to connect to the
 server, as I didn't get an error. I used port 23, as was mentioned on
 the main site. I kept typing new into the text field, but it just kept
 asking for a password, not a character name to start. But at first it
 said, at the beginning, type in an option or your character name. But
 I thought typing new would starrt the process of making a new char.
 Apparently not. Of course, maybe since I always use Mush-Z to play
 Alter Aeon, it's interfering with the process somehow? It doesn't
 automatically read things like it does when i'm playing Alter; I have
 to keep alt tabbing back and forth to get it to read the lines.
 
 And then, I thought to the hells with it, and decided to use flash.
 Well, that really didn't work, as it wouldn't even read that. I say,
 argh! Any tips as to how to best start playing this game would be
 greatly appreciated. I have one blind friend who plays it; he
 recommended it to me in fact, but he is currently unavailable to ask
 questions of, as his internet is down. So yeah, any help here, guys? I
 am very confused. Lol. But I would love to play it, if it would only
 let me.

Hi, all.

I've visited

them seems workable. When I try to log onto any of them, I get a blank screen.

So, can anyone recommend a good Harry Potter mud? If so, can you provide the

 Just for people on this list, as of yesterday Star traders rpg from trees
 brothers games is now accessible  on Ios and can be found on the ap store.
 It's got a nav helper accessed through the menue which gives you a list of
 planets to travel to, which works well.
 
 I'm still figuring out the game and how everything  works, but I like
 what
 I've seen thus far, certainly worth  the three dolars for the elite
 version,
 although there is a free version as well (I bought the elite straight off
 since this is just my sort of game).
 
 The game is sort of similar to smugglers or core exiles in that you fly
 around with a spaceship, there are a number of factions who have wars, you
 have a crew and engage in space combat. The difference is  that the
 universe
 is rather like the  dune books by Frank herbert, galactic houses and
 politics along with  sindicates,  there are lots of different things to
 do,
 exploring planets,  lots of ship combat, boarding and  capturing ships and
 
 a
 lot more, indeed I'm only just starting on the game myself.
 
 one thing that I do like the look of is that rather  than you just
 grinding away at the same resource trading, you actually need to research
 where things are needed for yourself, which makes the game quite unique,
 as
 does the fact that while there ar elots of ships and upgrades to buy and
 awards to earn, the game is pretty open  ended.
 
 It looks highly interesting and I'd advise any rpg fans to give it a try.

I'm not Dark, but exploring can get you quite a bit of cargo which is worth a

 Hi Shane.
 
 Looting ships works very much the same way that exploring, harvesting, or
 indeed trading do.
 
 When you hit the loot cargo button you will be presented with a list of
 cargo types. flicking through them you'll find something like Water-fuel 10
 0, Lux food 5 0, crystals 0 6 etc.
 
 Each of the names of the goods such as water-fuel or crystals is a button to
 click on, and the two numbers after refer to what is in your ship's hold and
 what is available to take. Just so long as you remember the first number
 after each button as you flick through is the  quantity in your hold and the
 second is the amount you can take you should be fine.
 
 To actually do the looting, it's very similar to buying stuff. You hit the
 button and then have a screen with the numbers in hold and available, and a
 slider, this is where what I was saying earlier about the sliders comes into
 play. set the slider to %100, you grab everything, set it to %0, you drop
 everything. So if  you have 6  lux food in your ship and there is 4
 available to take the slider will start at %60 since you currently have %60
 of the  available amount. bang it up to %100 to grab the other four.
 
 the only other thing to note is that  sometimes, when you have four or less
 of a given good available, simply flicking up and down the slider won't do
 it. In these situations you need to double tap on the slider and then slide
 your finger across the screen. Go all the way right to set to %100, or all
 the way left to set to %0.
 
 Actually I've taken to using the double tap and slide method myself
 regularly, since it is a far quicker way to instantly set a slider to one
 end or the other and most of the time I want to take everything or sell
 everything.
 
 Btw,  the fastest way of looting is to simply have more space in your ship's
 cargo hold than the  max available lootable cargo, then you can just hit the
 take max button to grab the lot, though this only shows up when  looting
 ships and not when exploring or  harvesting unfortunately.
 
 Hth.

 You can get the free version of star traders from the ap store and then

 Hi shanon.
 
 The  reason your having issues with the doctor I suspect is due to  a miner 
 point about  how the sliders in the game work that also threw me at first, 
 but once you get it it's quite logical.
 
 Basically the way you buy anything in the game is with the slider. %100 means 
 transer as much as possible to you, %0 means sell the lot.  So, if you've got 
 3  Metals in your hold and there are 3 standing  at the dock, the slider will 
 begin at %%50, if you want to buy the three from the dock you put it up, if 
 you want to sell your 3 you put it down.
 
 When there are more than five items to sell, ie, the slider has more than 
 five positions, you can just flick it, but as you've  probably found when 
 there's only say one position you can't. For example if you've got one unit 
 of health to recover from the doctor the slider can only be at %0 or %100.
 
 In actual fact however, the slider is a long control that goes left to right 
 horizontally right across the display, so all you need to do to select it is 
 double tap and hold then swipe your finger right across the display, right if 
 you want to go up, and left if you want to go down, (just bare in mind you 
 have to swipe quite a long distance across the screen for it to work).
 
 This probably sounds very clunky when I explain it like this, but once I got 
 the knack myself I now find I use the  double tap and slide left or right 
 method  instead of flicking even with larger sliders since it's much quicker.
 
 Hope this makes sense.
 
 As  regards the ships, some I believe are unlocks, and it's possible that 
 some are  either faction or profession specific but I'm not %100 certain on 
 that as i haven't messed about with the different ship types that much yet.

I'm having trouble completing contracts. I keep getting contracts to 
assassinate people, and my ship is looted by the people I'm supposed to have

 Hi Darren.
 
 That is it, however note that the cargo you find  is  of the very expensive
 sort, weapons, electronics and artifacts. The more crew you commit the more
 you will find although you also risk having your crew killed by nasty things
 on the planets as well, so it's something of a gamble albeit a rather good
 one especially if you have a trade permit so you can sell unrestricted
 items.

 Hi Shane.
 
 Looting ships works very much the same way that exploring, harvesting, or
 indeed trading do.
 
 When you hit the loot cargo button you will be presented with a list of
 cargo types. flicking through them you'll find something like Water-fuel 
 10
 0, Lux food 5 0, crystals 0 6 etc.
 
 Each of the names of the goods such as water-fuel or crystals is a button 
 to
 click on, and the two numbers after refer to what is in your ship's hold 
 and
 what is available to take. Just so long as you remember the first number
 after each button as you flick through is the  quantity in your hold and 
 the
 second is the amount you can take you should be fine.
 
 To actually do the looting, it's very similar to buying stuff. You hit the
 button and then have a screen with the numbers in hold and available, and 
 a
 slider, this is where what I was saying earlier about the sliders comes 
 into
 play. set the slider to %100, you grab everything, set it to %0, you drop
 everything. So if  you have 6  lux food in your ship and there is 4
 available to take the slider will start at %60 since you currently have 
 %60
 of the  available amount. bang it up to %100 to grab the other four.
 
 the only other thing to note is that  sometimes, when you have four or 
 less
 of a given good available, simply flicking up and down the slider won't do
 it. In these situations you need to double tap on the slider and then 
 slide
 your finger across the screen. Go all the way right to set to %100, or all
 the way left to set to %0.
 
 Actually I've taken to using the double tap and slide method myself
 regularly, since it is a far quicker way to instantly set a slider to one
 end or the other and most of the time I want to take everything or sell
 everything.
 
 Btw,  the fastest way of looting is to simply have more space in your 
 ship's
 cargo hold than the  max available lootable cargo, then you can just hit 
 the
 take max button to grab the lot, though this only shows up when  looting
 ships and not when exploring or  harvesting unfortunately.
 
 Hth.
 
 Beware the Grue!

 Hi Dacota.
 
 Firstly, Yes I've noticed the combat  music issue. Secondly, to be honest
 planet's actual coordinates don't really matter in the game, since once
 you've selected a planet from the nav screen it'll tell you the distance and
 
 that's really all you need to know,  THOUGH i AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
 POINT THAT THEY FIX THE NAV SCREEN TO SHOW FACTIONS FOR EACH PLANET.
 
 With the sliders, well they're a little different from the ones in Kodp
 where you have to  slide slowly. Double tap and slide fully to the right for
 
 %100, ie, almost with your finger to the edge of  the display, or fully to
 the left for %0. The  these  days I actually use that method with most
 things even when  I could  use the flick gesture flicking seems disabled
 when you have less than 4 total items, though as I said double tap and slide
 
 I find quicker.
 
 Regarding their other games, I do believe they plan ios ports and  they have
 
 said they'll considder access perhaps for their cyber knights or age of
 piracy game, though  unfortunately their only other Ios title, heroes of
 steel is apparently heavily  graphical and real time.
 
 One advantage though is if they're porting to Ios directly they can fix
 access at the same time, which also makes fixing star traders access a good
 
 investment and is another reason  it'd be good if people could 5 star rate
 the game too to give them some encouragement and let them know  Vi users
 would like games like this accessible, since while there are! Vi users of
 android, there are far more on Iphone (lets not get into the debate as to
 why or wherefore just acept that is the current state of play), so there is
 
 more potential exposure for a developer in access for Iphone games,
 especially Rpgs.
 
 Btw, another interesting fact is  apparently a lot of sighted users didn't
 like the graphical touch map either and prefer the navigator, which is a
 very nice case of access adjustements doing general good for everyone.

 First of all, in the contracts screen, it lists the planets'
 locations, but in the nav screen it doesn't.
 
 Second, the music appears to be stuck for me. The android version has
 several different music, but the iOS version seems stuck on the combat
 music after you begin the game.
 
 Have you guys seen all the games on Android? There are so many by
 these guys. Unfortunately, I think only Star Traders really works, but
 there are a plenty. I wish they'd port those to iOS for us.
 
 Also, one thing to consider. I have a friend who recently reported
 that Voiceover doesn't always let you increment and decrement the
 sliders with a swipe gesture. This is true. Just double tap and hold
 and slide slowly. It's a VO thing, not a game thing.

 one thing about star traders you don't need given professions to try

 Hi,
 The minerals and other things you harvest aren't actually stored in
 your collector, they're put directly in your inventory. You can check
 it from time to time to get an idea of how you're doing.
 My most recent accomplishment has been crafting a rifle and ammunition
 for it. The bulk of the rifle came from a kit, but still. I finally
 figured out that the different collectors are useful to harvest
 different types of resources, though I guess it should have been
 pretty obvious. :) Enjoy, Zack.

 Hi Dark.
 
 You can also build different buildings to deal with lumber like a lumber 
 yard that can deal with what the harvest tool can deal with plus a mining 
 plant for getting metals out so you always have a good stock at your

 As I believe I said earlier, jobs, or at least the ones with the job 
 command are sort of like  awards or challenges you can do each day to earn 
 some skillpoin, for example the leafeater job  I  discovered when I first 
 killed a herbivore, while the  armor crafter job I found when I first made

 Yes, there are a few commands you ned for the tool.
 list tool will tell you what it can produce, sorted into a bunch of
 categories.
 view thing on tool will tell you what the thing you want to be produced
 will need, e.g. view colonial rifle on tool.
 craft thing with tool will begin loading the tool with resources to
 produce
 something. You'll have to select items to load based on quality, or just

Just a note about rerolling. When you reroll, you lose the skills you 
previously learned. So, I chose ranger the first time. I learned survival, 
exploration, primative weapons, and research. Now, I rerolled and chose 
fabricator. I've learned all of the exploration skills, and some of the 
crafting skills. I definitely want the two research skills you mentioned, and 
probably primitive assembly.

wrote:

 For those playing wayfare, since there was some discussion here earlier about 
 what resources show up on a scan, I've discovered that you can pretty much 
 tell what is present just from the descriptions. I.E. scattered clumps of 
 fist-sized crystals mean ceramic geode, and there's other descriptions that 
 indicate other extractable resources.
 Also, it does help to explore (though it takes forever) and discover, because 
 I found a few extractable resources via discover that weren't initially in 
 the room description.
 I'm a like Dark in the playing here, I much prefer to be left alone to 
 explore, and do my own thing, but if anyone really wants to contact me on 
 game, I'm wired, and my settlement is on MC-1954, though I won't say where, 
 since I have heavy turret guns active on all my building plots, and I'd hate 
 to have folks get blasted away when trying to pay a friendly visit. :)
 Anyway, I like the job system, though it's difficult (most of the time) to 
 determine what you should be doing to complete the jobs, it's still fun to 
 try to figure it all out.  I strongly recomend everyone who plays, grab a 
 piece of real estate for yourself, and build your first shelter as soon as 
 you can, since with each thing you do on the mud, it opens up more options 
 for you.
 
 Skills are a bit of a crap shoot at first, until you get the hang of things, 
 but I recomend basic medical first aid, then don't train anything else in 
 that skill group, because this will help you tend your wounds if you get any 
 while building your settlement.  Then, learn the whole survival group, as 
 these will let you carry more things, and generally survive the rigors of 
 colonizing better.
 Once you're done with those, learn the whole exploration group, since this 
 permits additional jobs, and helps you find useful materials for building 
 your settlement and other items.
 After that, primative assembly is helpful, because it gives you bonuses when 
 building items (and there's a *lot* of items to build).
 Then, on primative weapons, only the knows which end hurts people is 
 necessary, unless you actually want to engauge in pvp (which I'm trying hard 
 to avoid), and on the science skillset, you'll want to get lab operation and 
 research focus.
 With those skills, (and you can learn them in whatever order you need them) 
 you will have everything you need to get through the first phase of 
 colonization, and work through to the point when you can reroll and get more 
 skillsets and more skill points.  These skills will take all of the initial 
 2500 points you get, but in my opinion provide the most benefit on planet, at 
 least for starting out.  I didn't select ranger as Dark did, but you can 
 still get the job to kill 75 little critters, and make money doing it. :)
 I had less than 300 dollars when I landed on planet, and now I'm up to nearly 
 6K, and it's all from discoveries,  building, and job completion.
 I'm still trying to figure out the whole civilian population thing, though I 
 know it's related to kinds/number of buildings in your settlement, though 
 defenses don't seem to add to either your jobs, civilian population, or money 
 earned, but I'd rather have them than not.
 There are tons of crafting tools (basic, structure, advanced structure, 
 component, ...) you get the idea.  Each one builds different things, and 
 you're likely to need something from each one before you're done with your 
 settlement.
 One word of warning.  I've not figured out how (if it's even possible) to 
 stop resource extraction (they call it harvesting) so don't do what I did, 
 and begin harvesting plant fiber while in the ocean without some sort of 
 method of breathing.  I drowned, and had to respawn and start my processing 
 all over again.  It seems that when you harvest items, the harvester will 
 continue running either until the item runs out, or your inventory is full.  
 I've found it useful to keep my inventory mostly full, especially when woking 
 in ocean realms, as I still don't have breathing aparatus, so that I don't 
 spend inordinately long times harvesting ocean  realms.  Trust me, it's not 
 fun to know you're dying, and can't do a thing about it.
 The harvesters can be configured to only get one kind of resource if you need 
 it bad enough, but generally I just let them harvest what they can find, as 
 it adds to my stockpiles.  Build yourself a warehouse, and store your

Hi, Christina.

When the game first starts, you need to hit the start button next to where you

to fulfill a contract by duble tapping whichever place is starred.

You can buy supplies from any planet that has an exchange. The same is true for 
recruiting crew. You do that at any planet's Spice Hall. You can only recruit 
crew if you have less than the number your ship can hold.

I hope that helps. Feel free to email me if you have other questions. I've been

Re: [Audyssey] Iron realms munds

2014-08-11 Thread Shannon Dyer
I'm a huge Aetolia fan. It's a fairly dark mud, very heavy into RP. PVP is not 
allowed, except in certain, very specific situations. Aetolia has a path system 
that makes navigating its huge world quite easy, especially if you can't see 
the map.

I've looked some at Lusternia, but haven't done enough with it to comment much. 
Aschia was really confusing for me, because it seemed to require map usage, 
without the patching present in Aetolia.

Hopefully, this answers your question. Let me know if I can provide further

 First, has anyone tried their games? what are they like? 
 
 Then, what is the difference between them? Their websites are a little hard

 elements, but place different emphasis on them. Achaea seems most about 
 roleplay, Imperion seems heavy on pvp and politics, Lusternia from what I

 though also lists limitless advancement, so I'm not really sure how those two 
 differ. 
 
 If anyone has played these I'd appreciate hearing opinions, especially from

Re: [Audyssey] Aetolia

2014-08-13 Thread Shannon Dyer
Aetolia is pretty heavy into RP. You have to join a guild, and each guild has 
requirements you must meet in order to advance. A certain amount of RP is 
necessary.

There is an option you can set in the beginning that modifies the way text is 
read for people who use screen readers.

Due to the guilds, it's not the best game for solo exploration. Your ability to 
hunt, for example, varies depending upon which guild you joined. So, vampires 
bite, necromancers decay, etc.

 Hi all,
 So, I figured out how the path system works. I wonder how long that feature 
 has been implemented, as I don’t remember it when I played a few years ago. 
 Nevertheless, I intend to try it again, joining the Orlirani.

Different guilds have different requirements. My current guild has no exam like 
the one you're describing, but the RP is definitely enforced.

 Hi Shanon.
 
 the screen reader option is good, but I'm not sure about inforced rp.
 
 There is a chap I spoke to on audiogame.snet who had been playing achaea, got 
 to level 20 but then  literally couldn't advance without joining  a guild and 
 to joing one he had to take an exam!
 
 And by exam, I mean a full written paper which seemed to be taking rp a 
 little too far. I did wonder, what with  the description for Etolia 
 emphasising the exploring if the rp requirement was achaea specific, but 
 obviously not.

Is Dragonrealms a MUD like Avalon that requires a monthly subscription or

Re: [Audyssey] Does anyone play Avalon mud?

2015-07-05 Thread Shannon Dyer
I like Avalon a lot. I’ve not known of any screen reader specific settings. 
Navigating the areas can be difficult, since the map is not accessible, but if 
you keep a file of directions to certain places, that works well.

There are a wide variety of professions to choose from. It’s pretty RP 
intensive. Questing is a big part of the MUD, as it’s one major way to gain 
experience.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

 So, does the game have some screen reader settings? and also, if anyone is

 I particualrly am interested sinse the game is at least semi commercial. That

 a newbie has  to either get sponsorship from either an existing in game

I’m not sure about combat. I chose to become a druid, which is a nonviolent

 One thing I do wonder about if  there is no screen reader low spam mode is 
 how combat works, sinse the system sounded interesting but text intensive, 
 and personally I'm not overly keen on having my voice at stupid speed (sinse 
 I always want the atmosphere of a mud).
 
 Unfortunatelyk, if there are no screen reader adaptations I can't countenance 
 giving the thing a place on audiogames.net, but that doesn't mean it might 
 not be fun either way, the writeups on the world and guidls and quests and 
 things to do  certainly got my attention.
