On Channel Puppet Making for "Near Benden"
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: (to Anjy & Adri) Were either of you interested in making a puppet for the 'bring the klah to Grinstead' tp?[Grinstead] Adri doesn't know how to make a puppet, sorry o.O
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: If you were interested, it is easy, but it certainly isn't a requirement. :)
[Grinstead] Adri: Yea? Okay, whats it for though? Im not familiar with the Bring-the-klah-to-grinstead tp.
[Grinstead] Hukian (to Stanbogan): When's this TP?
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: The tp is to bring klah plants from Benden Hold to Grinstead making Grinstead the 'klah plantation of Ista' now that the farm craft has left us.
[Grinstead] Adri: I havent been around the place recently, so . . .?
[Grinstead] Adri: Ah ok.
[Grinstead] Adri: Where can we find the details on this?
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: One group of traders are already trying to get a large ship to take them and their wagons, et. al then we need the puppets to RP the trading and loading (the puppets would be the workers from Benden). ... Chpt 1 on @lib has the history so far.
[Grinstead] Adri: Kay
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: Going with the traders?
[Grinstead] Adri: *nods* Anyone from Grinstead?
[Grinstead] Hukian (to Stanbogan): So Grinstead are going to be the main manufacturers of Klah on Ista?
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: (to Hukian) @lib here is #21068 Yes, that was the idea. :) .... (to Adri) Our part of the transport would be to have the puppets at the field shack 'Near Benden'.
[Grinstead] Adri: Ah, okay. So we need ppl to make and rp the puppets?
[Grinstead] Adri: Well if its happening at a convenient time . . . Just show me how to make the puppets?
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: I have been posting (*nearly daily) about the tp. My puppet is the foreman (#19666) and she will need assistant foremaen and field hands if anyone is interested (She is pre-made as a puppet example). The puppets would live in the field shack and when ever they can be on to rp (since this will be fairly extended once the caravan arrives) is a good time.
cdca look me
Caed> You notice Caed (#19666) looking at you.
Caed> Caed
Caed> A small, thin woman with streaks of silver in her short, dark brown hair, Caed's becoming smile does nothing these days to hide the look of someone who drives herself hard and rarely rests.
Caed> She has donned an extremely clean (if well worn) outfit. Her calf-high field boots are scuffed but wiped clean, and they go with the pair of rough, black trousers and a matching bone-button top that sports one breast-pocket. The tunic and trous have softened and grayed dramatically from repeated washing.
Caed> She wears a violet and red single looped knot with a long tail and a tassel denoting a foreman.
Caed> She is an adult of about 36.
[Grinstead] Adri: Okay. I'll just read up then and get someone to train me in using these puppets.
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: The # to create a puppet is #4530.
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: What I do is @cfreate #4530 call
[Grinstead] Adri pokes the pupper, "Hmmm"
[Grinstead] Adri: Ah-hah. I'll do all of that then.
[Grinstead] Adri: I suppose it has help files on it?
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: Pardon my typos. ;) -- Once you have the puppet you want to do the: @addfl
= (just like a firelizard puppet). Also see 'help cu'
[Grinstead] Adri: Uhhh, right.", Adri is new here . . .
[
[Grinstead] Adri: Dont worry, I'll find stuff out.
[Grinstead] Hukian (to Adri): It's not really that hard once you get it. ;)
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: The final thing is to remember to turn your puppet on (see help
puppet_commands)
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: The main commands are @create, @addfl, and @puppet-on
[Grinstead] Stanbogan looks at Hukian. "Am I confusing things?"
[Grinstead] Adri Feels stupid and will just have to do some reading up. "Thanks though,
I'll figure it out at some point."
[Grinstead] Hukian (to Stanbogan): Naw, seems right.
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: Don't feel stupid! You should see the mess-ups I did when I was
new ... ahh, the stories the guides could tell about me! ;) When you are ready you can
take the puppet to Keroon and to our room.
[Grinstead] Hukian (to Adri): Have you ever created an object?
[Grinstead] Adri nods, "Yes, I just created this puppet thing."
[Grinstead] Adri: And I created a note once.
[Grinstead] Adri: But thats it as far as online Moo's go for me. I can generally build,
but puppets and stuff are new to me.
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: You have a firelizard. So, you know how to run a puppet, right?
[Grinstead] Adri: Umm, no. I have it, and i got an email with a whole bunch of things i
have to do. But ive not done anything with it yet.
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: A firelizard is just a specialized puppet (because it can go
::between::). Otherwise they are the same once you set them up. You haven't made Dew
into a listening puppet, or given him a code yet?
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: If I can be of any help with the puppet, just page, holler or
@send. :)
[Grinstead] Anjy peeks and goes to read above. O.o
[Grinstead] Stanbogan: I will probably put this discussion on the web site for reference.
[Grinstead] Anjy: go for it. ;)
[Grinstead] Adri: Not at all! Go for it.
