Could the "a planar native" thing be reworked so that most planes (aside from Ashkanar-That-Was, Gastal, Siraus, and ones with built-in lists) always call from the creature types lists?

Also, may I request somebody please add Acharu? It's M:EM canon even though it hasn't been brought over from the old archives yet. I have already written the code:

It's a high stakes game of cards on The Wheel between Beryl, the Heart-Scarred , Cara Holis, and Dyllyg, rebel against the Rulus. However, the game grinds to a halt when Beryl, the Heart-Scarred comes into conflict with Cara Holis.

Funny, you'd think those two would see "eye to eye."

Depends on when the game is. You know how that goes.

The Calling Bell has resurfaced from the depths of history, and now Alessa Rehn planeswalks to Karsus, home to the Mirrored Depths in search of it. But Alessa Rehn gets more than she bargained for when she apparently apparently interrupts a battle between Vasilias, Lord of Ariva and a planar native but is secretly being manipulated by Huinn, Last of the Darkwings but is secretly being manipulated by Ellia the Endbringer .

I... WHO IS WORKING FOR WHOM!?

For some reason, I'm having trouble getting Dark Rabiah to call any of the planar natives. Like... I've never seen it happen at all.

  • Acharu is added
  • Taramir, being dead, shouldn't show up quite as often any more (50%). Also, it now has nightstalkers.
  • Cleaned up "unthinkable has happened". Hopefully, it will read a little clearer now.
  • Planeswalker specific prompts now exist at 10%
  • Cleaned up the prompt code a bit: the prompts are now in rough blocs based on their nature, which should make it easier to debug in the future.
  • Organized $interaction much like $prompt

Quote:
Clade explores a distant plane. There, he tears down civilization, leaving only a Young Cockatrice Shaman alive.

An appropiate call of the "young" modifier!

Quote:
Jakkard is under attack! Denner Fabellian must gather allies such as Kahr-ret-Taris and Morgan of Voor before it's too late, but he is hampered when he throws down in an epic rap battle with Phyrexia. All of it.

Yeah, that'd be a hell of a rap battle.

Quote:
A baby Salamander is left on Chardis of the Dual-Walkers's doorstep! Now he will have to have to seek the help of Syl of the Dual-Walkers in raising it!

Now, this brings me to something I feel about the generator: I don't think its RNG is very good. Syl and Chardis appear together a LOT, but they're adjacent on the list (same with Larasa and Morgan). Further, I've noticed it really likes giving out the same base prompt a few times in a row -- even if it's an unlikley one like doorstep baby or musicals. For instance, I got two misplaced æther vents right after this. Nothing we can really do about it, but I thought it was worth making a note of.

Quote:
Kirsh of the Flats must grudgingly accept the help of a newly ascended Planeswalker: a Unicorn!

Since Mari isn't in the archives yet, perhaps this means her?

Quote:
The unthinkable has occurred on Kaldheim, home of Skybreen, which has caused a phenomenon known as a Mutual Epiphany. Raleris, the Lorekeeper is trapped there, but he isn't the only one caught in the cataclysm. Now Raleris, the Lorekeeper seemingly has wild animalistic sex with Cara Holis , but secretly is working to oppose a planar native and Asher and Illarion Vale .

This is just a sample of the new "Unthinkable" text.

Quote:
Kahr-ret-Taris planeswalks to Siraus. There, he interrupts a conspiracy between Phyrexia. All of it. and Raleris, the Lorekeeper , on behalf of Asher .

I doubt Raleris would stoop to a deal with the devil (so to speak) to cure his Phthisis.

Quote:
Lukas Harran ventures into the continent Koprafig, on the rogue plane Acharu.

And Acharu is called.

Seems entirely plausible. Better watch your head, Larasa. Literally.

Nor can this, really.

When it's calling two planeswalkers who are actually associated with each other, like the two pairs you mentioned, it's at least not really that much of a problems.

Having interactions with themselves, though... :lol:

How does one "seemingly" have wild animalistic sex? How do you fake that?

To be fair, most of those have been from the "hard coded" prompts (Raleris needs a translator, Raiker writes a poem). I don't think a figure will get called from the same list twice, but when "Raiker Venn wants to write a poem about [Planeswalker]", it can't see that the string "Raiker Venn" was typed out earlier and can call him like anyone else on the list of planeswalkers. (this means that were Agmund on the main list, which I don't think he is, he could theoretically suspect and even convict himself)

Admittedly, when I wrote the Raiker Venn prompt, I knew there was a good chance he would eventually write one about himself. I thought I could possibly just have it be "[planeswalker] writes a poem about [planeswalker]," but it made more sense being solely Raiker.

Although it is good to know that it won't draw the same name twice in normal situations.

This doesn't make sense on multiple levels. Gruff of all people... and it has no natives.


I want to see a planeswalker start travelling with themselves, and be asked if they can stick together despite their differences.

Yeah, the dupe calls on the non-specific prompts were, I believe, tracked down to certain PWs showing up both as planeswalkers and as natives on their home plane, and thus being eligible to get called twice as separate entries, one from [planeswalker] and one from [expandedcanonplane,as native]. Since "travels together" calls [planeswalker] and [planeswalker], I don't think that'll happen

Quote:

Gee, I wonder.

At this point, each might be the only being in the multiverse that really understands the other. Not that they'd get along, of course.

It's probably best that it can't call the same entry twice from the same list.

The Calling Bell has resurfaced from the depths of history, and now Ellia the Endbringer planeswalks to Mercadia in search of it. But Ellia the Endbringer gets more than she bargained for when she becomes infatuated and begins stalking a planar native.
Is Ellia capable of infatuation?

Not the best choice, Daneera.

Quote:
A baby Hellion is left on Ellia the Endbringer's doorstep! Now she will have to find a caring home for the child.
I'm sure that Ellia cares very much. About the quality and condition of its parts.

Quote:
A baby Pegasus is left on Zhiran's doorstep! Now he will have to figure out what Pegasus babies eat fast, lest he end up on the menu!
Honestly, I'm not worried.

Last I heard it was down to Goldblum and Keanu Reeves for the role of Venser. David Tennant might have looked the part, but he was too credible an actor and had too great a range of emotions.
