Monster Request Post [Nightshift 43]

Request your monsters here!




Example:
Characters: Scott Pilgrim, Yuffie Kisaragi
Location: Mail Room [link here]

And here is a link to some guidelines that Fey set out about monsters in the past.

Now, for how NPC monster modding works! Basically, Fey has divided the maps up into sections (first floor here, second floor here). Each NPC mod is in charge of a particular section.

That means that when you make a request, you'll pretty much know which NPC mod will be taking care of it. The NPC mods can track this post and keep an eye out for when there are any requests that are in their area and then get to it. (Also, this way if there's a delay in getting your request filled, you know who you can contact about it.) Of course, a NPC mod could always ask one of the others to pinch hit for them if they're busy, on hiatus, etc.

RELATIVELY NEW RULES: When you make a request, put the name of the NPC mod who is in charge of the area in the subject line of your post! This will make it stand out more to the NPC mod and also get rid of any confusion about whose area it is. Secondly, there will be a three-day waiting period for NPC mod requests. In other words, if you wait three days and still don't get a monster, then you can feel guilt-free about contacting the NPC mod and asking them about it. At that point, the NPC mod must decide if they are going to do it. If they are unable, it's their responsibility to find another NPC mod to handle the request for them.

This should also make it easier for the NPC mods to watch their area and send out random attacks, so stay sharp! 8)

The area assignments can be seen here, or if this is easier:

First Floor
Green - Kesiah
Yellow - Tiassa
Light Blue - Tiassa
Purple - Jennifer
Pink - Allie
Dark Blue - Jansen

Second Floor
Pink - Maia
Teal - Kaze
Tan - Court
Orange - Court
Green - Tad
Blue - Brenda

As for the outside areas, those requests can still be handled by any of us! And that's about all! Hope this makes this process a little more efficient. :3 Credit goes to Fey (and possibly some others?) for the idea.

Sorry, haven't forgotten you, just had an assignment due. I'll get to this first thing tomorrow, but quick question: did you just want something minor for a 'welcome to Landel's, check your monsters on the way in' or something more interesting?

Re: Kesiah

[identity profile] gundamned.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey! It's all cool~!

Mmm Feldt player and I were thinking more of just a "sup welcome to Landel's have a monster yay" for now, since they're pretty screwed what with having just flashlights and all. xD Also they need to get somewhere to meet others, but we thought a monster on the way would be pretty fun. :>

And yay thank you! 8D

I have a question, if this is the right place for it! I know we're not supposed to request specific monsters, but would it be okay to ask for a specific feature? I kind of want to get Lunge to run into a monster to get rid of the whole "monsters don't exist!" thing, but if it were too 'normal' looking he'd probably just write it off as a rabid animal. In this case, would it be acceptable to ask that the monster is somehow very noticeably not just an animal?

[identity profile] continuum.livejournal.com 2009-09-04 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that should be okay. I've done features requests before for Angel 'cause he needed mammal-looking things to eat, so. :3

[identity profile] scalyfishman.livejournal.com 2009-09-05 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome. I'll throw out a request when I'm ready. THANKS! :D

Really, really dumb question

[personal profile] lawful_perfect 2009-09-07 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Not requesting a monster just yet, but possibly in the not-too-distant future. But I want to make sure I'd be asking the right person:

The section where Patient Possessions Storage is... that's coded as "blue," correct? I ask because on the map, it shows up as a light, faded purple to me, not blue. Thanks in advance. ^^;;

For that matter, I'm wondering if it might be possible to have the color codings on the map, in case it's not immediately obvious what color's what, especially for those of us who might experience a bit of color-blindness or monitors that don't display the correct colors. It also appears that there happens to be no "tan" section, and the one that I'm guessing is supposed to be "orange" is a very pale bright orange, which could also be tan. *Is confused* Thanks. ^^

Hmmmm... weird... Main Hallway 2-Center shows up as light green to me. I'm looking at this, which is the map that's linked in this post for the second floor. I'm now wondering if that's the same map you were looking at?

Again, thanks! ^^; (And also for answering the first question! <3 )

0_0;;; It doesn't even look remotely close to tan to me. The section just below it does, though. *Is probably color-blind, in that case, which could probably account for a lot* XD;;;; (This isn't the first time I've perceived colors differently from other folks, so... it's really probably just me, so no worries. ^^ )

Thanks for clarifying this! XD;;

Legends AND East-West flipped to match current maps (i.e. East is now on the right).

Go right ahead -- that's why I made them. I'd prefer it if you reuploaded them to somewhere not my LJ galleries, though.

Characters: Sechs and Kibitoshin
Location: Men's Bathrooms (M41-M80) [link here (http://community.livejournal.com/damned/711596.html)]

Note: Sechs had a Mirabis encounter in this same room before and now he's hell-bent on getting a rematch but also finding out if the monster was just a doppelganger or if it was a living representation of himself. So with that could we have a Mirabis for this encounter? I feel this would make good character development for Sechs when it comes to his search for truth and identity through battle. I know there's that rule where you can't ask for anything specific but I made sure to ask Court ahead of time about it and she said that due to the given circumstances of the situation it was alright for me to request it. If Sechs and Kibitoshin could get a good challenging fight with a Mirabis, that would be well appreciated! =)

Awesome! =D Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

Oh, quick question! If the mirror that the Mirabis appears in gets destroyed before it can come out to attack, would it appear in any other mirrors that are still intact?

Re: Kesiah

[identity profile] notachick.livejournal.com 2009-09-09 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Not Kes, but I have an answer, I think.

If the mirror is destroyed, that actually releases the Mirabis, allowing it to attack. It's why they bang on the glass, trying to break free. As long as the glass remains, they're trapped.

Re: Kesiah

[identity profile] sixth-attack.livejournal.com 2009-09-10 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Ok! Sechs is in for a surprise then xD There was a theory about the Mirabis on the IC board that destroying the mirror first would keep you safe. Sechs was gonna test that out but I guess that's not gonna work... xD Thank you for the information!

Kes again!

Location: File Room 1 [link here (http://community.livejournal.com/damned/714783.html)]
If it's okay with you, could I make a special request? I want to get Lunge to realise that yes, MONSTERS EXIST here, so I was wondering if it would be okay to ask that whatever you send in be somehow very obviously not just an animal? It doesn't matter what it is, so long as he cannot write it off as just being an something that's bigger than normal/ rabid. I asked up here (http://community.livejournal.com/damned_lounge/1899915.html?thread=27088779#t27088779) if it would be okay, but I figured I should check with you first. :3

Hope I got the right person. ^^; Also, Rolo and Teresa are both armed and dangerous so you can toss something a bit harder at them if you want!
