Oscar

Oscar had honestly forgotten that he had placed this order until Zandra messaged him that it was ready. Perhaps he should have requested a smaller order if he had wanted it to be filled in a reasonable length of time. He didn't doubt that Zandra would come through, even though he had forgotten about the order. He made a beeline straight for Zandra's shop and collected his consumables. With these, he would be set for the foreseeable future. He thanked Zandra profusely and added the items to his inventory. Now he just had to think about what to use them on. He was running low on quests to attemp

Crafting, crafting, crafting. It seemed like that was all Oscar did nowadays. Truly, this was really the only time was was able to relax. His days were filled with errands and adventuring. Not much time for a lot of quiet reflection. There was something about the simplicity of Cooking that put Oscar at ease enough to let him unwind. Today wasn't a good day for cooking, all things considered. But that said, at least he had SOMETHING to add to his stores. He really needed to make a point to fill out his shop with more and more Loot Die enhancements.

Oscar was in rare form today. Not in the kitchen. He kinda sucked in the kitchen today. He just wasn't feeling it. Maybe his depression was rearing its ugly head again. Or maybe it was the monotony. He really needed to switch things up a bit. Maybe walk around upside down for a while. Maybe roll through the streets of the Town in a barrel. Maybe. MAYBE. Honestly, he didn't know. Neither did his author. Frankly, he's getting tired of having to write so many words all the time and just can't think of anything write now. Writer's block is a hell of a drug.

Now was the time to give the newbies more attention. He'd already stocked his shop with Accuracy, Evasion, and Damage. Now it was time to focus on Mitigation and Overhealth. For, you see, newbies didn't start out with a whole lot of health. With proper use of consumables, a level one player could have so much Mitigation and health that enemies on par with their level would be unable to kill them. This was a good thing. By keeping them alive, he insured that they had the potential to rise through the ranks just as he had. If they so chose, they could make their way to the Frontlines. Or they co

It was time to diversify his portfolio, so to speak. He'd made plenty of dishes for the Tier 2 players. But Oscar couldn't neglect the noobs. They needed a source of consumables. Likely even more than the Frontliners did. Those guys had plenty of resources at their fingertips. They could wait a little longer if they needed to purchase from his shop. Oscar would rather prop up the newer players than he would help the rich get richer, so to speak. Luckily, his work in the kitchen paid off in spades. He finished up in the kitchen and cleaned up for the day and then stocked his shelves with the ne

Short answer. No. Long answer. Hell no. Longer answer. I am wholeheartedly against any sort of reward to be provided to staff for doing their jobs properly. Keeping your word and doing the job you volunteered to do is its own reward - as well it should be. If it wasn't like pulling teeth to get staff mobilized to do anything or if we as a unit didn't have the attention span of a coked-out squirrel, maybe - maybe - I'd be on board. Without going too much into it, every member of staff knows that we have internal issues that need to be addressed. Issues that choke us up from finis
