Lia has a meeting with on , after a duel between Raleris, the Lorekeeper and Rishima, Queen of the Black Sands left them stranded there.
This prompt never seems to call a plane, and I think I know why. One second here...
Okay, I fixed it. The prompt called for [plane] instead of [planes], which is how our planes list is named. It should call actual planes now.

Yeah, that seems to work now.

Oh, now Clade crashes the Aliavelli party? The Duchess will not be pleased.

This last one, I probably shouldn't even post, because it's likely spoiler-y to Orcish's quest, but it's just so fitting, I'm going to. Orcish, feel free to not look.

Obviously, only one person could have made this prompt better...
I didn't peek. But I think I found the one people were talking about...
Quote:
Kirsh of the Flats parties out on Adrisar. There he spends an afternoon watching a rainbow with Beryl, the Heart-Scarred. After the experience, he is left suffering from an ancient curse!
Sigh.
Sorry, Kirsh. I'm sure she didn't mean for it to happen.
Man, even when the generator tries to be nice to Beryl, it doesn't work out.

Raiker Venn chases Raleris, the Lorekeeper to the turbulent land of Zendikar and the continent Porratig. Upon landing on the continent Porratig, that **** seemingly spends an afternoon watching a rainbow with Beryl, the Heart-Scarred, but secretly is working to oppose the other 'Walker.
Raiker: "Why are there so many songs about rainbows?" Beryl: "I don't know. Why?"
[Raiker gets out his pen, grins menacingly.]
Raiker: "Because I wrote them."

You can peek now, that's the one I found, too. But it worked out better in mine.
If we ever get the impossible and manage to call the rainbow twice, I think we'll unlock a life achievement. The trophy will read "what does it meaaaaan!?"

And since when has the rainbow thing been in the generator, anyway?

HA! That's just fantastic.
Awesome.
Also... so... uh... can you now stick multiple {} qualities after an option? o_o Because you definitely did not used to be able to do that. That's literally why I didn't do it when writing the prompt initially--I couldn't figure out how to get it to work.
And holy hell this thing has gotten big. I used to be able to hold this whole code pretty well in my head but now I don't know 2/3 of what's even in here. o_o It's awesome but a bit overwhelming, and it'll make creating a Canon version of this a little tricksy.

I'm pretty sure I've legitimately tipped my hand at this point, so:
I'm sure you all saw this coming
I've been editing the prompt generator for several weeks now; I taught myself the code and fixed several things, including adding the pronoun, possessive, and shorthand attributes for the planeswalker lists, alphabetizing several lists (the ones listed in the Politeness list), for creating and then cleaning a Beryl-specific prompt,* and adding several silly things like "wanders drunkenly into". I've even made a version of Arcades' plane generator by streamlining Raven's original! And I found out why it was calling gibberish creature types!
I've actually still got a number of things I plan to test on how the generator works; I know we can't call two rainbows, but I also know someday one of us will get "Zombie Zombie Zombie Shaman" or something like that.
Also... so... uh... can you now stick multiple {} qualities after an option? o_o Because you definitely did not used to be able to do that. That's literally why I didn't do it when writing the prompt initially--I couldn't figure out how to get it to work.
Nope, always has been. You should've experimented more. The key was hidden in the ability to combine attributes with weighted values.
Also, uh... I've pretty much been making my own terminology in trying to explain the syntax for this thing. I mean, I single-handedly wrote the Syntax help and Politeness lists (although I have yet to find the proper way to include them without making them lists), and at current I'm the initiator and only editor of the Changelog. So, how many of you are confused by the terminology I've come up with?
*There still exists a Beryl-specific prompt, which OL posted six versions of in his post looking for good Beryl prompts, which I didn't write and which I suspect Tevish for.
"Always has been" from the moment I started building this long before anyone here knew it existed... or from the moment you started testing?
I did a lot of testing dude. And you COULDN'T combine attributes with weighted values. We had a whole big conversation several pages ago about the fact that that was not a thing that you could do. Why can you do it now? Presumably the code has been fixed. Reading Orteil's forum is an eye-burning experience so I have no idea whether or not an update has happened, but I can only assume that it has. Because again, I tested it, and this was not something you could do before.
Otherwise, I would have done it.
EDIT: Similarly, this feature is, to my knowledge, new: "My [#pet]'s name is [name,#name,written]. Would you like to see [#name]? Adding "written" will record the element as its literal representation, instead of its generator. This is necessary in some cases."
At least, I don't recall it being there when I first tested it. See also: "This might not always work; if you need to capitalize something like [#pet], you can write [#1,Abc]."

Well, it only took a little fiddling to figure out the exact syntax to get it to work, so I figured it had always been there. I guess if you could not before, maybe someone did update the base software running the generator? I agree with you on the forums being near-useless.
The written and capitalization functions are directly in the generator directions, so if those weren't on that page when you started, I guess that means proof-positive for an unannounced update being instituted.
The Chaos Ring has resurfaced from the depths of history, and now Kimberley Talon planeswalks to Aldis in search of it.
Uh, Jinsen? You may want to rein her in on this one. She's difficult enough to control as it is...

I question the wisdom of populating an army with Intelligent Deserters. Also, I should note that this prompt is one of my favorites...
Ellia the Endbringer finds herself in command of a very strange army comprised of Noggles, Spawn Brushwagg Allys, Crab Samurais, and even Spirit Survivors.
You had me at "Crab Samurais"... though the very concept of a "Spirit Survivor" seems strangely oxymoronic.
