Pwincess is half right. She gets half a cookie.
It's a free online game I found. It's pretty cool. Right now it's in beta test, but the story and gameplay show some promise.

If you want to check it out, it's at www.thekingofspades.com

Cool. I'm playing in it currently as Kadis Rethan, in London. So I reuse RPS names. Sue me.

EDIT: What? I can't figure out how to do anything..AND YOU CAN'T BUY NEW WEAPONRY FOR ANOTHER WEEK AFTER YOU'VE STARTED..

That totally sucks.

Wait, you're in London, too? Sweet. I would be Jaque Longstrum, myself.

Whoops. Forgot I wasn't logged  :glare:

As I said before, I'm Jaque Longstrum in the game. And I'm also in London.

In my room, in Greenwich, training my skills for my new job (pilot).

Ah. I'm in Southwark, praying. Actually, now I'm in Greenwich.

Well, after I train up my skills, I plan to go to Lambeth to get the job. 40k a day and diplomatic immunity, wohoo!

I hate you. I can't even figure out where to get a job.

westminister guy, westminister, that's where all the good jobs are.  there and the Dock Lands... at least in RL.

edit
can you go to Southall?  it'd be great if you could join an amateur soccer club there and 'bend it like Beckham'

The Employment agency is in Lambeth, which is why I'm going there. You can use the London Bus Station to get there.

If you mean you've been there but you CAN'T get a job, it means you haven't met minimum requirements to get one. Go to the Tutorial (under "data"), then scroll down and look under Jobs and Careers. Clicking on any of those jobs will tell you what skills you need and how much of each to achieve them.

Yeah. I had to work Hand to Hand up so I could get a reasonable job, as a cop. 2700 something a day.

Very cool. I started as a hacker, then became an Architect (most money a Junior can make). Now I'm a Pilot.

That, and I've begun building my own shops and villa with the money I've saved in my bank account.

Another level up!

(voice from nowhere): You now have the abillity to sense danger.

Woot!

Where do you go out and fight or whatever?

Post by: Paladin0707077 on March 09, 2005, 07:41:37 PM
Well, in the UK, Combat is enabled in Hackney. So if you wanted to, you can go beat up on someone there. Or you can go to an arena and challenge someone (like in QFG5). I think the one here is in Bromley for local stuff. Or you can find some quests to do, and there might be some NPCs for you to beat up on. Don't ask me where they are: we're not allowed to say or else it's cheating.

The again, by admitting that you're a police officer, you've admitted you're Idealist (only Idealist allignment can become actual police officers), so going up and killing someone might be bad roleplaying. If I were you, I'd go to a dojo and train in a non-lethal combat style first, like Tai-Chi.

That's retarded.

Go to the forums and challenge someone there. There's a whole topic on it.

This is a beta version, so not everything they entended to have is there yet. That and you probably weren't on any of the big quests (like the whole XF-5 incident: see the newspaper).

Where do you get more determination?


Title: TKOS
Post by: Paladin0707077 on March 09, 2005, 07:55:50 PM
Look under Furniture/Literature/Equipment. The stuff under that will either boost or train the cooresponding skill/abillity (the Flight Simulator, for example, trains Piloting skill and Determination). If it just has an abillity for it (look under hobbies), then you can use it to train that abillity only. If it has a skill under it, though, you need to have 50+ points in the listed skill to use the item.

And you need a place to train. You have to drop stuff in order to use it, and that's why people want to have houses and stuff. You can use a monument or exhibition ground if you can't find anything else. If you want, though, you can go into the forums under Land Value and just ask people for rooms. I got, like, 5 offers when I asked.
