Players with Mac versions of the game will not be affected, but you will have a slightly longer wait for your version of the new maps. Please make a copy of your character folder before running the new update, just to make sure you don't lose any of your custom work.

It looks like we can give everyone a list of minimum specs for running City of Titans. Please keep in mind that this is 'for now' until we are able to add more graphics and other system refinements. Currently you will need :
Windows 10 or later required; no Intel integrated graphics like UHD, must have AMD or NVIDIA card or discrete chipset with 4Gb or more of VRAM
At least 16GB of main DRAM.
These stats may change as we continue to test.

Putting yourself in another persons shoes emotionally is something that everyone has to experience eventually. It's part of learning to be a human being. Roleplayers do it for fun.

It's just that when I see the name Grayson, all I can think of is Dick "Motherfuckin' Nightwing" Grayson. So, to see it used as the name for a Villain base is a mite disconcerting, y'know? ;-)

To late now to change it. Oddly I didn't think of Dick Grayson when I read it, normally I would have caught the name of the first robin right away. I blame it on the children I was baby siting distracted me.

That 1 milliliter dose (also known as 1 cubic centimeter) seems like a huge dose, compared to a rat, unless it is a very dilute solution.

OTOH, I seem to recall that the amounts of substances used in animal testing are often much larger in proportion to the mass of the animal than the intended human doses.

TGHI, our Fearless Researchers want to see results SoonTM!

I see Reuther did already

I see Reuther did already while I was looking for specifics (and not finding them) ^_^

But if there are going to be side effects in humans, even the .5 ml dose should be more than enough to cause them in rats, unless it's something humans are way more susceptible to (like rats are to bladder cancer).

Three vials, maybe 10-20 ml each? That would be enough for 60-120 rats at .5 ml/rat.

Can't wait to find out what happens to the rats!

Well I actually did toss

Well I actually did toss around the idea of one of the rats being a shape shifter or something that got mixed in with the bunch, didn't really have any ideas as to why the shape shifter WOULD be there or how it would fit into the plot so I pretty much junked the idea. Still seems like a problem that may occur in a city with such a high super-human population.

Well I mean the shape shifter

Well I mean the shape shifter could have been some sort of spy who was present in the bar and decided to turn into a rat to get a look at our operations if you want to go something with that. It could be one of the white rats since they're both identical, the shape shifter could have used the real rat as a base for his form (when i think of shapeshifting characters I normally tend to lean towards to how it works in animorphs). If you have a good idea of how you can use this concept feel free to do so

That really depends on the

That really depends on the nature of the Liquid light. If it rejuvenates cells making them fully healthy as if the person was in the early 20s, or does it reverse the aging fully. Growing is caused by in cress of cell division and that stops about maturity. Then aging starts as the cellular information starts to decay. Skin get saggy bones more brittle and so on.

One possible effect is rapid growth due to the extra boost to the cells they reproduce faster.

As for the shape shifter idea... well the person would have to have been a resident or informed of Grayson Tower by a resident or the spell would nudge them away. Thought if CP caught the rat outside... thought why would someone be snooping around a generic unimportant apartment building?

You're last comment reminds

You're last comment reminds me, Rotten:

Goldenrod is planning on making a Dresden Map of Titan City: A scale map of the city, with models of the buildings incorporating dust,paint chips,or whatever from enough buildings to invoke contagion as well as similarity when scrying for something when the mirror trick won't work. She got the idea from The Dresden Files, seems it's impossible to get occult supplies in Chicago without seeing those books either for sale or being read by the clerk...

So the question to think about is, while she walks down the street, in civvies most likely, taking a sample from each building, marking the ziplocTM bag and taking a GPS read on her phone, what happens when she gets to The Grayson?

Obvious choice is she walks right by, and when the map is complete there's a blank spot or a major building that has no sample. Subtle choice is she gets a sample, and when the map is complete the Tower's shield works through the map...

Thought about that. The

Thought about that. The building is there. People see it just it's not important. The memory of the place fades fast from the mind. Unlike say the Shadow Movie where people see an empty lot, people see the Grayson tower even see the people going in and out. The importance of the building and those in side slip the mind, the building itself doesn't.

Or in other words. A cop would know the building is there, just don't think about going there or asking about it.

Sounds like it'll be the obvious choice then: When she walks down that street, she'll just skip a building. It wouldn't be until she's actually setting up the map, and sees the building in the Google maps and realizes she has no sample, and it's likely (especially if the spell still has some influence) that she'll just write it off, relying on the samples from other buildings in the area. Anyone actually inside the building, I'm assuming would be safe from this sort of tracking spell, possibly even if she had a sample. If she doesn't have a sample, they're golden.

Faceless, does this anonymous researcher have anything odd about his odor? I presume he is not (quite) human, and Shari does have a rather keen nose...

(sorry for being gone so long, I had a few things come up and fell out of the RP scene for a while. It seems like the plot line I was involved in though was dropped once I left. If it's ok I can reintroduce Reuther and CP as both having been captured recently?
