Lord-kain1 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 The Runescape Orphanage MiniGame Here's the idea/ background for this minigame: With all the wars, senseless fighting, and even more senseless Adventurers; there are a lot of orphans. A group of people( npcs) have brought all the children with no one to look after them to one spot and made an orphanage. Now as with all not-for-profits (and orphanages in especially) they are short on free hands and even shorter on resources. With the ever growing population of children they also desperately need to expand and come up with stuff for the children(furniture, cloths, food, etc).Because they are a charity type instillation they have been able to make deals with various people across the map in order to buy stuff extremely cheaply(at cost) What you do here: help with various tasks around the complex sometimes even supplying resources yourself. Game functionality of it. This mini game is like a morton temple, village cleanup, setup. With the wide variety of tasks that need to be done to keep the operation running you can train any skill at the place. The exp for each skill would be rather slow compared to other methods and you would still have to pay for various things(planks for example, no free con xp here ) The benefits to the players: While I'm not suggesting some reward from this(although some could certainly be added), the place itself would allow people too strictly stay to training, and not in a fast leach luring way like pc either. The work you do at the place directly relates to the exp you get. If you make furniture for the place you get con exp, if you make cloths for the children you get craft exp, If you smith hinges and door handles you get smith exp, if you cook for the kids you get cooking ect ect ect, you do nothing you get NOTHING. Also this would allow people to not have to go looking for resources to train their skills(note the resources you buy have to be used at the orphanage and can't be bought and used else ware) A big apeal to this would be the abilty to "camp out" while training this would lead to people chatting and such and create another favorable/enjoyable spot such as the fishing guild or at the temple in mort'ton. Here are some of the ideas I came up with for how each skill could be used.( please note that the exp for combat related stuff would be rediculously low compaired to actully fighting but would still get some) Attack- chasing imaginary boogy man out of a childs room Str- heavy lifting, sacks/ boxes of food etc def- wrastle with kids(maybe be in a barny suit to get beat up) range- play dodgeball with kids or throw dirty cloths in hamper prayer- preach or any number of obvious jokes " oh guthix grant me the pactience to deal with these ..... children...." lol magic- teach kids, animate toys, light displays .. its magic it can do anything runecrafting- teach kids, do experiments construct- furniture,playground building/repair, ect hp/ constitution- boogy man, cleaning kids smelly dirty clothes (parents will get that simi-joke :-P ) agility, jumping thru cluttered rooms and dogeing running children herblore- make cures for sick kids thiev- steal kids security blanket to be washed and swap it for a clean one crafting- cloths, toys, etc fletching, toy bows and arrows slayer, defating boogy man, monster under bed, dust bunnies hunter- tracking wayward kids mining- goes with expantion clearing out ruble with pick smithing- door knobs, hinges, parts to toys, nails, etc fishing- teaching kids to fish by example, catching fish for kids to eat cooking- obvious, cook for kids, help in kitchen firemaking, keep stoves lit, candles, furnace(heating) wc- gather wood for fires Farming- growing food and flowers for the house Summoning(forgot to add this when summon was realeased.. lol): Summon nanny, flashing light creature to distract children while you do above tasks. LK1 ps i have this on the rs forumes newEST thread quick find: 84-85-92-58515194 please if you support go there and post to help keep the thread alive and hopefully get this idea made possible to be added to list also put your rsn if you dont have something that actually says "rsn: 1ncert N4m3_H3r3" 88 Suporters! list so far: Names Listed are as they were at the time they listed thier support.

Lord-kain1 Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 absolutely right, my bad. Mods please move to correct forum thanks in advance LK1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- edit: Due to popular demand here are some of the rewards ideas I'd had, i give credit to those that come up with some. there a lot of room for rewards here and i pretty much kept that empty to give jagex creative liberties on that. could be anything from getting discounts at other stores because of it( like the plank maker taking a liking to you and giving you a cash discount because of your charity work) or maybe even gain access to new areas( once you expand the orphanage to a certin point into the mountain it opens up a cave thats a good training area) and for those that are all about the cloths maybe they could give you a maid outfit(for ladies) and a caretakers outfit for guys. There used to be something called influence back in the early days of rsc. For doing stuff you got influcence thatr lowered prices on certin things. something like that could be implimented here except you have to work to keep it up( like in tai bo cleanup) an early idea i had(although it probly wouldnt get implimented) was to be able to have some sort of squire(one of the older kids) who does small tasks for you, something like manage thy kingdom... or maybe he carry extra things for you like temple treking(certin food items only and wont go into certin areas, no squires in wildy, duel arena, etc) new item creations( like new toys etc that have no real use except more stuff to fool around with(rattles(thanks Naruto X234 for idea), etc)) theres a wide gambit that could be put in place for rewards I was just wanting to lay foundation for the mini game. The skys the limit on where this can be taken LK1 this random comment brought to you today by ADD: ADD, bringing random entertainment to all for generations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestrana Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 This is actually a good idea! An alternative way to train skills but where would we build this orphanage? There's a Cave Goblin day-care in the Dorgesh-Kaan so maybe this orphanage mini-game can be applied there.

There's a Cave Goblin day-care in the Dorgesh-Kaan so maybe this orphanage mini-game can be applied there. Thanks for the support :) The location can be toyed with to make it more sensible/ accessible. Maybe near the waterfalls from the waterfall quest? The cave goblin day care isnt a horrible idea but having with the quest requirements(would make it not popular with lotta people) and the conflict in story line for adding a human orphanage to a goblin city ( or why are there so many cave goblin orphanes if theres no real fighting if its goblin children) would confuse people LK1 this random comment brought to you today by ADD: ADD, bringing random entertainment to all for generations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiden131213 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I support! It seems like a great idea, and the only thing I found unreasonable is mining. A pickaxe would probably put holes in the stuff. Maybe a blunt pickaxe for the minigame? It's just astounding. =D> :thumbsup: Made by the one and only ME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybob6666 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Wow this sounds like a great idea! To balance the xp would have to be smaller than usual I think but it would still be the same or better than normal training as you do not have to get raw materials! Excellent idea! I whole heartedly support this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracomancer Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Wow. Just...wow. :shock: This is, without a doubt, the best idea I have ever seen. Current account: Dragonguy 87 Goals: Get members Get all skills 40+ Hehe, this is like Jagex telling half of Runescape players that they're [developmentally delayed]. Sort of.
