@Jennkryst said in An Arx Peeve Thread:
I am trying to find out if any of the languages I know are supposed to be SUPER SEKRIT/will get me killed for advertising that I know them, and also my inner baby Tolkien nerd needs like… a list of all the languages, and while I’m not saying they need to hire a linguist to invent all these new languages… I must know more!
@sao and @Roz, maybe @Narson (I don’t know how much he knows about languages) in my experience are very knowledgeable about all things Arx and could probably help you know if they are secret or not. I haven’t seen any of them, especially Narson who I’ve known for years, se what they know OOC on an IC level.
-
@Jennkryst you can request with that question! Staff will be happy to answer stuff like that.
-
@icanbeyourmuse I did some more digging and searching for terms in my clue list, and it looks like they’re all safe.
… but also I should request, anyway. Ys is an IC languages MEGA NERD, so like. Asking for deets would also help play the character.
-
I don’t think LANGUAGES will get you killed but neither of my characters have the linguistics skill so it is possible there is a secret cabal of tongues about which I know nothing.

@sao Just… Noah posted an ad for ‘come teach me languages!’ so I did not want to accidentally go ‘Sure, I know these languages, which include HIGH DEMONIC’ or something like that.

on the other hand, do we really need to be teaching him high demonic
-
@helvetica i think high demonic may have been the friends we made along the way
-
-
To add to this - I would love a list of languages that one can learn. It could be marked if they are secret languages and not taught.
I would just like to know the common ones or the helpful ones to have.
-
@RightMeow It varies so much on the character it’s better to ask us via +request and we can tell you what we think is appropriate, or you can offer suggestions and we can let you know same.

Society of Explorers is really long, and I hate that every time I try @org Explorers, the game yells at me that it isn’t a real
boyorganization.I get it. BUT IT IS A MINOR ANNOYANCE.

@Jennkryst Try Faith of the Pantheon
-
Use your client to alias it! Works wonders.
-
@Solstice But that’s woooooooork

peeve: there is somebody using one of my top 5 favorite names in the whole world on Arx now and they aren’t my best friend already
eta: I CAN’T EVEN FANGIRL BECAUSE IT’S CREEPY.

You can do this in game using the ‘nick’ command, too! For example:
nick $1faith=$1Faith of the PantheonOnce you do that, you would get the following result to the following inputs:
@emit Fairen thinks faithy things.
(Fairen) Fairen thinks faithy things.@emit Fairen thinks faith things.
(Fairen) Fairen thinks faith things.@emit Faith
(Fairen) Faith of the Pantheon@org Faith
(The total vomit of @org Faith of the Pantheon, I'm not pasting it. You get the idea.)Stuff like work/score, etc, also works that way. There might be more elegant ways to do it, but that is ONE way to do it pretty easily directly in the game.

Twelve months! Thirteen gods should mean 13 months!
… but 12 means this bullshit conspiracy-theorist who wears (setting equivalent to tin-foil) hats character idea I came up with is just chef kiss

The real question is do they have leap years and leap centuries?
