What do we want to see while the player generates the character?
Are there questions which must be asked?
Does user terminal type come into play? Will that be saved in the character's profile (for lack of a better term)?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Summon a portal.
2. enter portal

NOW does not display output from any commands I tried (pub <message>, tel/to amber)

Output:

 ... Portal lost connection to Server.
 ...
 ...
 ...
 ...
 ...
 ...
 ...
 ...
 ...
 ...
 ...
 ...
 ...
 ...
 ...
 ... Server restarted.

No command sets found! This is a critical bug that can have
multiple causes.

I joined NOW today, and I noticed when I typed the command 'pub' (for curiosity really, I didnt believe it would work), and shows up the message:

Command 'pub' is not available. Maybe you meant "pub" or "up" ?

Now I dont think pub is really a command, are commands and places mixed up in the tips?

Currently having health is a disadvantage. If you have no health trait, you are unencumbered, but if you have a health trait and it is 0, then you become immobilized. Except for testing, no characters should be manually given a health trait until the end of Mile 2.

Suggestion

Suggestion from @tricuspa is to restore health by drinking from Fountain of refreshment, currently located in Great Fog. Set as a goal for Mile 2

Time stamping

Allow return of up to 20 health every 12 hours by time-stamping the character's fountain use. Fountain also removes thirst.

Effects ticker

Employ an effects ticker to restore the health gradually, initially restoring 10 health then slowly adding the remainder until the total restored is 20 or the character returns to health max, whichever occurs first.

get, drop, sit, leave, board, follow... verbs need to be made functional again in commands/verb.py

Currently the NOW install instructions suggest to install Evennia and then run evennia --init NOW. This will create the new empty game folder but it looks like NOW is itself distributed as a game directory already.

Here is a suggested alternative way for installing NOW with Evennia:

1. Install Evennia as normal, up to the point where the evennia command is working in your virtualenv.
2. git clone https://github.com/Pinacolada64/NOW.git (creates a new cloned NOW folder)
3. cd NOW
4. You already include the settings.py file in the repo, otherwise a user could do evennia --initsettings to create a new, empty settings.py in NOW/server/conf/ only for them.
5. evennia migrate
6. evennia start

(Also note that if using the settings.py file included in this repo one should change the SECRET_KEY string in it before it's used in a production server).

On joining the character, in addition to the "You assume the role of..." message, giving the RP status is a good idea.

A few issues I've been thinking of lately:

• The plain ASCII font looks distorted - not sure if it was a copy-and-paste error.
• Maybe

   and 

  tags should be used for the web client. Not sure where to add them.
• On using screen readers: Would the repeated letters produce annoying audio for those users? Maybe the logo should be displayed after the user logs in and we know terminal capabilities.
• Found an online ASCII font generator: http://patorjk.com/software/taag/ - was this the resource you used, @tricuspa ?

The basic Raspberry Pi has been set up. Next step to move development NOW to something on 24/7 .

To cover an infinite number of currencies like coins/rings/stars found, stamps purchased, apples uneaten, teleport tokens, light crystals, energy points, portal passes, or a specific realm's currency, and other countable resources carried in the character's purse or account (intangibly stored as counters, not in-game objects), this issue is to create a traits-like numeric dictionary so that each realm could have its own economy, and allow currency conversions at banks so characters can start earning/finding/exchanging/spending various currencies.

Because any currency can also be earned by actions, they can also keep track of and allow spending of rewarded currencies like earning quest points, attendance points, kudos, gold stars, by managing current and all-time totals to keep track of how many of each type of currency has passed through the player's' "hands" allowing for stats and leaderboards to be easily created.

This is a precursor to an achievement/quest system, and can later be expanded to list achievements in addition to just counting them.

NPCs stand around locations, some can be run by players for RP purposes. But using the greet verb on an NPC should cause it to respond with a menu of topical dialog that gives hints, instructions, lore, and quest information, or perhaps trades in goods and currency exchange or directs the more adventurous characters toward mobs to fight by mentioning recent sightings of mobs.

For the simplest of functions - the conversation menu tree of choices and responses dialog can be set on the NPC so that characters can interact with its menu, thus builders can create an NPC and given it very basic dialog and place it in the world. To allow builders to do this, we will develop a system and tools for setting and testing menu-driven conversation.

I believe that evennia has a docker file, so I wonder if it could be possible to create and adapt one image for NOW to be worked on, so it is safer and more manageable to run.
I am aware this may be of low priority, so I am researching myself a way of creating one to help!

This fixes formatting issues in spoof when text contains curly brace-enclosed phrases.

Add a tool that allows polling surveys to be taken records and be reviewed during, or after poll closes.

Features Requested

• Able to Create Poll and review / test it (but not save results)
• Able to Open Poll
• Ability to ask multiple choice questions.
• Ability to allow for sentences
• Ability to ask prioritization questions. ex. Prioritize these five items using the numbers 1 to 5, One being most importance... each number is used only once.
• Allow person polled to review before submitting
• Able to Close Poll
• Able to review results privately or publicly.
• Condense to score totals only

Optional Features to Consider

• Anonymous Surveying - Name is not associated or shown when survey results are provided
• Allows users to change single part of survey after survey is completed
• Operate as a Quiz / Test with instant or end of survey results

1. Tria's updated the server/conf/settings.py on the server and needs to know how to submit the change to the main repository. I could just drag and drop the new file in, but then you would need me to update things all the time.
2. Add "Tricuspa" as a contributor to allow wiki editing. ✓

As the Past develops we need to make sure the most common "standard" commands exist to the user base, they however may be limited only to that area (not be global).

1. Allow for players in The Past to page others in The Past.
2. Allow for players in the same room as another to whisper between themselves may also need to consider allowing whisper pose.

• Additional things to consider, allow global use of page to certain user levels that are "on-duty". (Probably another switch/setting to consider adding.)

Assist and develop build areas using Trizbort, then parse in rooms, exits, attributes, tags to in-game world.

@tricuspa
Initial area of importance is "The Past" which, except for small prototype testing, should be entirely built in Trizbort then imported in - this is a primary goal for Milestone 1

It would be more helpful to have a WHO that either queries once or a running board to show who is connected.

'morph', 'qmorph', and all that good stuff from Fuzzball MUCK-style MUCKs.
