OOC Info A Profusion of Rum and Coconuts - Syka's OOC

[Gossamer]

Welcome to Syka!

This city will be open to settlement fairly soon. However, its gateway is going to be from the sea and the city of Riverfall. Syka's opening will be tied to a quest that will be underway shortly involving a single person so the rate of that post will determine the rate of population in this city. Syka will be primative at first with relatively very little support. It will just have a simple general store and a small line of bungalows one can rent for housing. If someone wants to settle here, they will need to build their own home (and rp doing so with timeframes included) and bring something into the mix.

The city will be looking for healers, farmers, animal caretakers, fisherman, cooks, bartenders, etc. There will literally be no businesses open at first besides the general store. All food must be harvested from the sea, foraged from the jungle, or imported. The same goes for common goods like cloth, metal, and medicines. Be aware there will be dangers in paradise. Syka is on the Suvan Sea so it does have miles of beaches, some sand and some stone.

A codex will be forthcoming, but feel free to ask any and all questions here if you have any. Also, if your interested in being part of Syka, feel free to drop a note in this thread.

I am so excited about the opening of Syka! I've been waiting for something like this so I could reboot my character. I think Natalia would be a perfect addition. I can't wait to learn more... Please let me know if you need any help with development as well.

This is more Titus' speed! I think his shark would appreciate the warmer water, too. Who knows? I might even get his fishing up to competent by the time you open up.

[Dust]

Dust is due for a new adventure! Put my name on the eagerly-waiting list too. In the meantime, some inspirational imagery! Aaalll the pretty blue...

Thanks for contributing.

I would so love to come here. This is awesome. Great job on everything Goss!!

Also, the Swing Beach link leads to Riverfall's forum. That was the only hiccup I found while perusing the link map.

Just want to let you know Syka is officially open!

Here's the announcement: http://www.mizahar.com/forums/post491660.html

Let me know if you guys see a blatant need for any sort of location or missing piece of the city. I've deliberately left a lot of 'businesses' out of the link map in hopes that players will fulfill that roll. That means you won't see a bar or restaurant unless no one steps up to fill those niches.

What's this about a quest?
Should interested folk have to do something in particular to be a part of it?
Or is settlement freely open now?

Thank you in advance.

[Gossamer]

It's open. You can come anytime.

The quest is for someone who requested it a long time ago.

[Urkut]

Hello Syka!

I'm looking to move Urkut to Skya within the next few seasons, as it seems like a place that she could easily call home. However, I doubt she would give up her life as a warrior for it. So, my question is this- does Syka currently have guards? By guards, I mean any kind of protective agency, such as people who keep the peace within the settlement, keep the Jungle Wilds from encroaching, or a genuine team of soldiers.

If not, this may be something that Urkut would be willing to found, as a sort of guard-for-hire, or to be paid by the city.

Either way, I'm very happy to see Syka open, and cannot wait to see what happens as it grows. Hopefully, I'll see you all soon!
