So on a total selfish douchebag level, I'd like to be able to get a little more responsiveness from NPCs. Loki should be sucking up to the staff hardcore since he has Plans^TM but I've yet to get it to happen. (Some of it may be bad timing, but we all know that I post like crazy. >.> ) Honestly, I'm even fine without actual NPC interaction if there's somewhere I could note that Loki is sucking up and trying to get somewhere with it. XD

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to comment. We appreciate getting feedback about these sorts of things.

Can you give a little more clarification about what you mean, though? Are you talking about having NPC requests go unanswered, or are you asking what kinds of interactions you can play out between Loki and his nurse without NPC involvement?

Re: GAME THREAD

[complicatedliar]

I've had a couple of nurse requests go unanswered, though that was likely because it was around the holidays.

Though the second part is a valid question too, in connection with what I'm trying to do. I don't mind writing out interactions with Loki's npc nurse, not at all. But considering his entire aim is ingratiating himself with the staff because he wants to start working up the chain of command... yeah. It doesn't do much for me to basically talk to myself.

Re: GAME THREAD

Yeah, due to the holidays, LJ fail, and the DW move, a lot of our NPC mods were swamped and unable to respond to requests in a timely manner during that time period. :( Sorry that happened!

You're actually free to write out your own interactions between your character and his nurse, so long as sedation isn't involved. But I can also see why you wouldn't necessarily want to always rely on that for nurse/patient interactions.

That said, if there's anything in particular you're aiming for Loki to do, or your NPC mod request has been neglected for a couple of days, please don't hesitate to come to the three of us about it. We'll try to accommodate your situation. Also, making your request a day or two ahead of time if possible would probably give everyone enough time to find someone to help you. Sometimes Lounge posts get overlooked, and I don't think NPC mods are terribly accustomed to RPing out regular interactions between nurses and patients, so allowing for a little extra time to match you with an available NPC mod might make things easier.

Hopefully that helps! If you have any other concerns or comments about this, though, please let us know.
