How about this one? Only kidding of course... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

MORGAN'S MANIACAL MESSAGES

(-1 Leadership)

I am a bit worried that we'll add too many skill-enhancing items. If we add too many, increasing your skills will be mostly based on collecting items and not on gaining experience. But perhaps many skill-enhancing items could be balanced with many skill decreasing items. Especially if the skill bonus/decrease isn't visible to the player.

How about a max skill increase of 4 points per skill? So if you have so many items that you skill would be increased, say, 8 points, your skill will still only increase 4 points. Thought there would, of course, be no limit on the skill DECREASES! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dev.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":d:" border="0" alt="dev.gif" />
 
how would that fit in the pirating world? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> i have devised many strategies to blast the bajeezus out of the pearl though.

i do think that you could get most of your skills half way up now by simply collecting items.
 
MORGAN`S MANIACAL MESSAGES (SPECIAL EDITIONS):
A book that teaches you how to SPAM your enemy too death.
Including some never released tips of the spammaster himself
 
sorry, although so very true, doesn't fit in the game in any way at all. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />

another solution for the excessive skill bonuses would be that the player would only be able to have a certain amount of items that would influence them. but your solution is fine as well. i remember you saying that every single aztec coin would give a penalty. would that mean that his luck would actually go into negative?
 
Perhaps we can rename it "MORGAN'S MANY MESSAGES", which is a book that contains simply a lot of letters and messages written by Morgan Terror that don't really deal with any particular subject, but are funny nonetheless. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

Might be possible, but I think that is more complicated to code in that my idea.

I did get my luck down to 0 (while I had 10 points assigned to luck myself), but not below 0.
 
maybe you could use my pointless post from the forum? shouldn't be that hard to find them. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

EDIT: oh, if you choose to indeed do that, don't tell me yet. i'd like to see them in-game for a laugh. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> but i'm not stopping you from posting your ideas about it here.

now we have 1 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> thanks morgan
 
me and my big mouth! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

if i'm knighted in-game, would i be sir spamalot? (there's number two! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" /> )
 
SIR SPAMALOT <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

TADAAAAA! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Perhaps we could return to the topic at hand? We seem to have derailed this thread for a bit. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
now i forgot what the subject was. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
ah, yes. well, do you need a picture of a 17th century doctor's kit? would be funny to have a toolbox instead. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> as i understand it, there wasn't much difference anyway. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
We already have a doctor's toolkit; I don't think we really need another. I do like adding more items, but only if I can figure out a distinctive use for them. I don't really see the point of two doctor's toolkits. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
