[Audyssey] Avalon rpg mud

[dark]

Hi.

I have finally got back into the gaming zone, and am trying out a mud which 
people have mentioned before and which I've known about for a while but have 
just decided (along with several others from audiogames.net), to take the 
plunge. 

This is the mud avalon rpg which has apparently beeing going sinse 1986. 
connection info:
Avalon-rpg.com
port - 23.



The game is a fantasy style affare of course, but with some differences, 
especially in activities from  warfare to farming to ranger quests. You don't 
even choose a character in the normal way. There isn't so much roelplay as just 
relax player interaction, though apparently even the rulers of guilds and 
cities and other major in game events are player influenced. I'll say that two 
things I really! like are that the game has some of the best writing I've seen 
in descriptions, and from what I gather a rather unique combat system that 
doesn't take reading text like a demon or rewriting your entire scripting to 
use, also I do like the way the newbie stuff works sinse it's a slow 
introduction with lots of choice and chances to sample different activities, 
also it's got a great system of gaining lessons and xp not based on grinding, 
just based on playing and interacting with the world and getting stuff over 
time.

The only two negatives are firstly that finding stuff like herbs and animals in 
the wilderness is quite a pest, and also the gamee isn't exactly free. 

You can pay for various monthly subscriptions to play, either 8 usd,15 usd or 
25 usd a month, (the more expensive ones come with extra lessons and some more 
bennifits), or you can get sponsorship, where another player or an organization 
like a city, priesthood  or a guild basically take you on as a member and fund 
your account, all that they ask in return is that you be an active player, and 
sinse you need to join a guild anyway to get a character class it's not a bad 
option, particularly because as I said the player base is extremely friendly.

You also get 10 hours of free newbie credit at the start as well so you can 
have time to explore the game and make your mind up whether to look for 
sponsorship, subscribe or whatever. 

I know paying for muds seems a bit odd given the great free ones out there like 
Alteraeon and Clok, but I decided to give this a try and am definitely liking 
so far, it's a rather different experience from a hacknslash, for all there 
definitely is combat for those who wish it. 

For more information, people should check out the website with the very 
extensive (if anything a trifle too extensive), manuals over at 
http://www.avalon-rpg.com/ 

Though I just dove in and started playing myself and as I said the novice 
introduction to the game is a very nice one, indeed I've been playing for about 
five hours and still going on my schooling, and absolutely loving it!

My Character is Esmund if anyone wants to give me a yell, though I don't 
promise to be much help sinse I've only just started myself and am just getting 
used to things, but the people on the novice channel and the regular players 
are a really nice bunch and always ready to help even with inconvenient stuff. 

All the best, 

Dark.

I played this a long time a go and really liked it. Had to give up due to not 
really having the time. However may get back in to this game again.

Re: [Audyssey] Avalon rpg mud

[dark]

Hi Ian.

It's actually one I've known about for a while, but have been hesitant about 
trying both because of my general inexperience with muds, the fact that 
Avalon is a rather different game to most, and indeed if I'm honest the fact 
that it's at least partially a paid game too.


Now I'm going though I'm sorry it took me so long, but stilll there's 
nothing to do but make up for it now.


All the best,

Dark.

[Audyssey] Sarah Game: no talking menues

[Tobias Vinteus]

Hi,
I can hear no speech in the menus in the Sarah game from PCS.
I guess I need some older components like sapi4 to play Sarah in Windows 
10. Has anyone else successfully played this game in newer Windows 
versions than XP?


Thanks,
Tobias

Re: [Audyssey] The Game of "Say What"

[Cara Quinn]

Danielle et al;

I actually just purchased one on Amazon this morning in light of our 
conversation! :)

The one I got was about $32 USD and there is a gold edition for $64 or so. I 
have no idea what the difference is and could not glean it from the 
description. So, since I know I enjoy the original, I went for that one.

So there are a number of sellers on Amazon which still do sell the game.

If anyone needs a linkie I am more than happy to post one but it should be 
really easy to find.

I just searched for ‘Say What game’ and several hits came up.

Cheers!

Cara

The balls represent words or phrases and you have to remember the
sentence and try to put the correc balls in each slot. Pretty cool and
we all enjoyed it. If the link is still in working order somebody did
a podcast of It on BlindCoolTech. That is where I heard of it and went
out and got it. What ashamed Larry and his crew aren't doing anymore
podcasts that was my favorite site to visit regularly and learn. I
especially enjoyed the soundseeing tours he and his girlfriend Liz
often did. I don't have it in my possession anymore though. It should
still be made. Let me know if you find it I'd like to get it again!
There are very few off the shelf games for us.

Re: [Audyssey] Sarah Game: no talking menues

[loriduncan]

Hi, has the game actually started up, when you hit enter on the game it 
comes up with a blank screen for some reason, but hitting enter a second 
time should play a magical ding sound then you should hear the pcs games and 
Draconis logo music, then it should take you to the main menu with Sarah's 
voice.  If you're hearing nothing, then try going into run as admin while 
hovering over the Sarah game icon.


Hth, from Lori.

Re: [Audyssey] Sarah Game: no talking menues

[Charles Rivard]

It is a game based on the Harry Potter series of books, although it is not 
necessary for you to be familiar with those, although, as a fan of the 
series, I enjoy the game more.  You are a teenage student of the Hogwarts 
school of witchcraft and wizardry who explores the castle during the summer, 
finding treasures and interacting with the school staff.  There's more to 
the game than that, but I won't give it away.


For more info, go to

Hi,

I guess I need some older components like sapi4 to play Sarah in Windows

Re: [Audyssey] The Game of "Say What"

[Cara Quinn]

Hi Sharon and Marty,

Say What rocks!

A couple I know has it and they bring it over with them when they visit. The 
game is a blast! :)

You are given a phrase which is out of order and you need to rearrange it 
within a given time limit. You do this by removing physical balls from the game 
itself and then replacing them back in the order you choose.

Each ball represents a word or part of the phrase and yes, the game does speak 
the phrase that you have created by moving the balls around.

So it is pretty funny when you mess it up. (as you are very likely to do at 
least once in a session)

I am not sure if the game is still made but I believe it is.

To Marty’s question, as you probably already know, there are ‘Say What’ type 
games on the App Store, but I do not know whether they are accessible or not.

Have a great night All!

Cheers!

Cara

Re: [Audyssey] got my new solid state drive in

[john]

Given current technology, BIOS cannot be accessible. The reason for this is 
that no software can be loaded at this point, so its impossible to have speech 
up and running.
The only theoretical way to cause bios to be accessible would be if the 
manufacturer specifically wrote a screen reader for that individual BIOS and 
motherboard, but somehow I doubt that happened.
We're going a bit far from gaming here though, so maybe this topic could go 
off-list?

As long as you can get passed their malware asus stuff is generally stable and

I havn't used their laptops but their desktop graphics and main boards are and 
I have had no issue with either from a hardware standpoint.
Some del units seem good to though I still go toshiba just because of the

They also use standard hardware,  for sound etc these days.
On the hp front their website is quite unfriendly driver site, eprint, etc.
However their printers especially their web enabled ones are quite good.

generally buy HP anything if I can help it these days.

one that lasted for six years still works, since I put Vinux onto it after I
couldn't find my XP disc's after reformatting the system after I got a
rather nasty virus that I was having a ton of trouble removing.

I can't wait to have a solid-state drive in the new laptop that I'm getting
soon. It's going to be awesome! It'll be my first system with eight gigs of
RAM and a 2.9 Core i5 processor; it's the architecture that's one generation
behind the new Skylake processors, but that's fine for me. The model I'll be
getting is a Lenovo ThinkPad T450S.

Re: [Audyssey] The Game of "Say What"

[Danielle Ledet]

Yep Cara is right! It is great fun. I used to own that and bought it
for me and my kids to play. Hubby wasn't interested in the long-term.
The balls represent words or phrases and you have to remember the
sentence and try to put the correc balls in each slot. Pretty cool and
we all enjoyed it. If the link is still in working order somebody did
a podcast of It on BlindCoolTech. That is where I heard of it and went
out and got it. What ashamed Larry and his crew aren't doing anymore
podcasts that was my favorite site to visit regularly and learn. I
especially enjoyed the soundseeing tours he and his girlfriend Liz
often did. I don't have it in my possession anymore though. It should
still be made. Let me know if you find it I'd like to get it again!
There are very few off the shelf games for us.
