[April Fools] Keeping module size down

[Diz-e]

hey guys! if this is for real, and not april fools funniness (i loved  the one with the LARP fake!)...
 
 i would have to say the issue here is perfectly poised to be open to  playerbase opinion, whether they have knowledge of the toolset or not...  if my understanding is correct, the question is:
 
 would we sacrifice the smaller, place-able sounds for less overall lag  (server-side)?
 
 even though my current PC's last fall was certainly lag-related, my vote  would be not to remove them completely. they do add immersion-worthy  qualities to the module when used right.
 
 And, also to be noted: i don't know about you guys, but sometimes when i  need a break from the same stuff, i play with the game music off, but  the EFFECTS ON, and my own choice of music in the background. afaik,  everything but the area-designated music falls within the effects slider  in sound options. so maybe there are those of us who, regardless of  whether or not we enjoy the fantastic music override Mort has given us,  still enjoy the in-game sounds.
 
 in any case, one of the things that cause us to be addicted to this  server is our ability to have an influence on its progression. thank  you's are due to those responsible for keeping us in the loop on even  the little  stuff that makes this server truly awesome.

... lol

This thread is the best april fools gift anyone could have given me. Lock and sticky please.

April fools? Gosh this is the lamest April fools joke ever SRY.

[Snoteye]

Oh, hey, look at the date. Guess this was just an April Fools after all.

To be on the safe side, issues "spilling over" into other threads were likewise based on this. Scrappayeti said something about happy rainbows in IRC, truth isn't very far from that.

And if somebody was wondering, if we were to do this we might be talking less than a handful of MB in total, for as many hours of work. I also personally happen to be of the very strong opinion that ambience through sound is infinitely important.

We had more creative ideas but we are your Lazy DM Team and so ended up just being mean to each other. I hope at least one person found it amusing!

Consider it a subtle reminder that the most important rule about this server is for people to be nice to each other.

TBH, with an insular community which has been together for like, three years or so...

People are going to be wise to any future April Fools shit.

[Snoteye]

True enough. We need to ditch our current players and recruit new ones.

Snoteye your suggestions are worthless. The benefit to cost of music shows that music is a worthwhile venture, and there are players (myself) that use the music/sound system. We told you that it was dumb in private, and now we have to tell you it's dumb in public, yet you decide to turn around and insult and be aggressive with fellow DMs.  Attitude like this makes me want to leave the server in its entirety and stick with small one-shot adventures on the side with my own server. Fuck you, seriously.

Cads, you're not much better yourself. In fact, both you and Snoteye need to be removed from the DM team. There are way too many hard feelings and it's destroying how we run our gameworld.
