      @Rucket I feel you here with regards to things needing to move a bit slower or needing time to mentally plan/plot things out. For me, I get very easily overwhelmed and when I am overwhelmed I cannot think clearly, my reading comprehension goes down, everything feels urgent and everything out of my control.

      We went from not having a lot of story happening all at once to having all the story all at once and that seems overwhelming. I think you’re doing a great job with everything that’s come your way. I’m happy to help however I can, too.

        @Birdie yeah I find Arx to be feast or famine. The good thing is that a lot of the times even things that seem super urgent on the surface usually aren’t really.

          @Snackness Yeah, it’s easy to feel like everything is urgent but there really is no such thing as a game emergency.

          I’ll keep saying that until I die because I have been devoured by the Moon.

          let it be a challenge to you

                This cannot be stressed enough. Nothing in Arx is really “urgent”. If something was urgent, people would reach out – usually well ahead of time – and indicate it was significant. A good example is the Turo/Navegant subplot. Staff has given people an entire month to think and submit their hooks/goals. If I need input from specific players, I usually ask them days, if not a week or so, ahead of the event.

                        Given the amount of time I have been playing on Arx, and how many of those years have been spent pursuing the same plot, you would think I would have some idea of what’s going on by now.

                        Yet I continue to be amazed by the number of times I have blundered around like an idiot because Mia-the-character has had information for, like, three years that Aria-the-player just straight up forgot.

                        what is

                          So, I have a (not) serious answer to this. And that answer is that we should ask @Apos how he remembers all the things. I’m pretty sure he has a VI installed in his brain to reinforce his memory, like that one NPC in Mass Effect 3. Either that, or @hellfrog has been keeping secrets about her memory and is able to remind him of things, or Braum is seriously a wonderdog and has been trained to recognize incorrect answers like @Roz does for the Info chan.

                            This is a good reply, because if you stop right there the actual answer is: he doesn’t.

                            He checks in with other people to refresh his memory. So we can all forget stuff LIKE A COOL PERSON.

                              When I was actively playing Arx, I had a Google document I would just paste relevant information to. Which, last I looked at it, is now very unwieldy due to the fact that it’s the same doc for multiple characters, defined only by various color text.

                              I’m sure it’s all very relevant…somehow.

                              I almost created an Excel macro to help filter and search for clue stuff since, at the time, I had all of my clues between both characters set into an Excel doc. I had thought, at the time, that it would be really useful to create a macro that would easy separation and filtering of said information.

                              …and then I realized that would be far too much work.

                              I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

                                I put all my clues into Evernote and tag them.

                                  Staff remembers a lot because we have multiple brains to put detail into and if something comes up, we discuss it to see who has the most knowledge on the subject. No player is expected to know everything about even any ONE lore area much less multiple ones. I don’t even think it would make sense for one person to recall everything. Seems to me like the Despite would wanna target someone like that…

                                  lol lmao

                                            Actually I THINK that one might have been Puffin. It was definitely before Herja had meteor power.
