Note titled 'Player Advisory Board - 2024 ((Turnhold, Fri Jul 19 13:48:14 2024):

I am pleased to announce the Players that have been chosen by the community, both Wizards and Players alike, to be the Founding Members of the Player Advisory Board!

Elminster
Hyperion
Morion
Rictor

Please congratulate them on being selected, and make sure to give them a hearty fishslap!

-Turnhold

Note titled 'Player Advisory Board - 2024 (Someone, Mon Jul 01 11:43:36 2024):

Greetings!

As promised in my "State of the Turnhold" post, Item #4, I'm excited to announce the formation of the

Player Advisory Board!

The Player Advisory Board, or PAB, as it will be referred to from now on, is a group of players selected by the Playerbase as a whole, and the 3k Administration.

The purpose of the PAB is for Titled Wizards(Solar+) to have a sounding board to bounce ideas off of, and to get input on upcoming changes to make the game better, bring things back in balance, or anything else they feel the need to consult on.

To be clear, this is for Player-Wizard discussion, and does not obligate the Wizard staff to implement or follow any suggestions given.

Membership, at least in the beginning, will be as follows:
-Titled Wizards
-Two(2) Players chosen by the Playerbase.
-One(1) Player chosen by the Solars.
-One(1) Player chosen by the Archons.
This can be adjusted as needed, depending on the scope of the current discussion, and if Administration feels the need.

Please note, that this is an ADVISORY Board, not a policy-making Board.

To get more information, please see 'help pab, 'help pabvote'.

We are opening voting today, and you will have to 'commands new' to get access to the command. Voting will run for Two Weeks (14 days).

For any questions about the PAB, please contact me directly.

-Turnhold, Ethos Archon

Note titled 'State of the Turnhold (Turnhold, Fri Jun 28 11:09:28 2024):

First, let me start off by stating how humbled I am, and appreciative of all the support I have received over the years. My time as a Solar really taught me alot about the "behind the scenes" working of 3k, and gave me new perspective on ALOT of things.

As your new Ethos Archon, I look forward to continuing the work of Wizards past, and moving 3K into a better future for us all!

Secondly, let me explain exactly what Ethos does, and my purpose in this position.

1) Ethos is the Player Relations/Policy Guidelines Enforcer. We interview and setup Sponsors for new Wizards, helping to ensure that the future generations of Wizards are raised correctly, and thrive in the environment.

2) Ethos handles most of the Player-facing interactions for most of the Administration, from broadcasting changes/rules, to dealing with the day-to-day random questions/complaints/etc.

3) Ethos is responsible for most Player-facing help files.

4) Random shenannigans.

Now, with that stated, I want to brief you all on some things that are in the works, and that I will be focusing on over the current year. Some are Wizard-only side, but the majority will be Player-facing.

1) A rework of most "man" files. This will ensure that new Wizards have ample information to learn from, that is updated and current, and explains the "how/why/what-if" of most functions.

2) A review of player "help" files. I know some are out of date, and the major ones we usually change on the spot when someone brings them up. This will be a focus of Ethos, to constantly maintain and update as needed.

3) Documentation and standardization of "best practices". This is pretty vague, but will become more clear as we progress.

4) Player/Wizard Relations. There are some HUGE(TM) things in the works. Stay Tuned!

5) Guild Artifacts. Starting with Bards, I will be making my way through EVERY Guild, working with the Players to design better artifacts. If there is a current WGM, I will work with them. If not, you get me.

6) Standardization of Player Rules, with a Standard set of enforcement. I started this last year with "aread 772", and will now be working to make a standard across all Administration. What this means is the following:
a) Standard Punishments for breaking rules.
b) Standard Enforcement for breaking rules.
c) Clear definitions of said rules.

7) Clear communication of all changes that affect the Player base. This is for mudwide changes, not Guild changes. WGM's are responsible for what gets announced with those. I know we have not been the best with that, but I feel we are ALOT better then we have been. This does not mean we will give you formulas/exact numbers. But we will state clearly what has been changed.

This is just a short list of what I will be focusing on for the remainder of the year. Once again, I want to thank all the people who have supported me through the years here, and huge shout-outs to Adalius, Kikipopo, Rastafan, and Tensor, for giving me a goal to achieve, and showing me the way.

-Turnhold, Ethos Archon

Note titled 'Turnhold (Adalius, Tue Jun 25 18:44:14 2024):

As many of you know, Turnhold has been around here for a very, very long time, and as Ethos he is the 'public facing' side of policy enforcement and general public interaction. Behind the scenes he is an active participant in discussions of all manner of topics, from the banal to the crucial.

Given his recent tremendous work in outlining the revised XP reduction changes, the Rod of Lordly Might changes, and the revamping of Eternals skills and levels (for other peons to actually implement), we have decided that work should be rewarded.

Consequently, we are happy to announce that we are adding Turdho...er.. Turnhold to the Archon ranks. He will remain in his Ethos position and deal with similar issues as he has in the past, but now with the authority that comes with an Archon while Kikipopo and I can remain focused on managing mudlib, guild, and area affairs as needed.

So please give Turnhold a congratulations on his new role, and feel free to direct all issues from now until eternity to him and only to him.

Note titled 'Upcoming Changes (Turnhold, Wed Jun 05 19:03:06 2024):

Greetings,

As part of our Top End(TM) rescaling model, we have made the following changes to earning Experience, and they will be instituted Boot #2032.

First off, grinding in the same area will not be beneficial to you. After a certain number of kills, you will notice you get less experience. This shows that you need to broaden your horizons, as what can you learn from killing your 1000th Leago? The reduction in Experience lasts for the boot, whether you relog or quit out.

For those that remember, we tested this before, to much outrage. We parsed the data, plotted it out, and came up with what we feel is a reasonable compromise. The purpose of this change is to get people to explore more of the game, and kill in more than 2 places.

NOW, before you get all bent out of shape, and start screaming, please realize that we are monitoring this VERY carefully, and will be reviewing and making adjustments as needed.

As always, thank you for listening, and if you have actual questions, or need further explanation, please contact Turnhold in game. Not on Discord. Not on Facebook. Not on Google Chat. In game.

Thank you,

The Wizards of Three Kingdoms.

Auction House

You may have noticed some really impressive items up for a very good price in the auction house. In 2021, this became a new approach to making rare items more accessible to those that would like to use the Eternal power (duplicate item. These items can be spotted by listings specifically set at a bid of 10 and buyout of 11 coins. They are meant to be purchased, duplicated and then the original item relisted for the same 10/11 price for the next person. So far this has made life easier for those sharing and duplicating, so if you happen to see these listings, please only purchase them if you intend to duplicate and relist!

Side Note: Nobody is perfect, and the system will reflect that. If one of these auctions appears erroneous, help get things back on track. If you see an item traditionally reserved for sharing but with a slightly skewed price, it's better to assume it is not something selling for a too good to be true price. The more people we have respecting and helping this process, the better it will be for all. Additionally, let's not harass each other if someone makes a mistake.
