POINT USAGE - WISHES

Once you have accumulated points from activity and passed AC, what do you do with the points left over?

We're glad you asked! Points are used as part of the game's wishing system. Check below, and you will see the baseline guide for spending those remaining points!

How does wishing actually work in-game?
Characters who make wishes in the game will cast a colorful stone into the wishing pond and make their wish. Thereafter (whenever the wish request is granted and it is narratively convenient), a crayon drawing of the wished-for thing will appear on your character's doorstep or in their mailbox. Before or after they look at the drawing, the item or request will be there for them.

How do I request an item?
Drop a comment below and the mods will tell you if it is eligible! Please use the handy dandy form offered in the text box to make things easier.

Item: Item/animal/whatever in question.
  • If its a canon item, please link us a picture or give a brief description. We want to know what you're requesting! This is especially important for power regains. Please also explain what your plans are for the item. We'd like to know what shenanigans you want your character to get into!
Points used:
Link to the threads where you made the points.
  • These threads cannot be used for AC if used here, so buy wisely!



What Can I Wish For?

OLD POSSESSIONS40Specific items from your character's world of origin. A instrument, a favorite blanket, a necklace, or any knickknack they didn't have on them when they arrived.

Items from a previous game
Items from canon



NEW POSSESSIONS50Any new item your character has never had before. Rings, dvd's your character has always wanted, clothes, toys, shoes, etc.
Clothes
Movies
Knick Knacks
(You get the idea)


MUNDANE MAGIC ITEM150Non-battle or skill-based magical items are covered in this section.

Food trees (and other plants) can have up to three flavors on them and those wishing should indicate the flavors and provide a brief description of the new plant for inclusion in the setting page.
Endless Supply-Type Objects
Self-Cleaning Objects
FOOD TREES200
Beer Tree
Macaron Bush


POWER REGAINS350If your character lost their abilities/powers due to the last game they were in, they can regain it here. Any powers that are godly in nature will not be approved. Items that give characters their powers back in any capacity will also be considered power regains. Magical or skilled pets that are designed for battle (e.g., Pokemon and Dream Eaters) will also be considered power regains. They will have the same size limits as pets: No bigger than a small horse.
Lost Abilities
Battle Pets
Power-imbued Items
No Godly Abilities


NEW POWERS600If your character would like to gain additional powers beyond those they had in their own canon/the game they were in, they can still wish for them or work to acquire them, but it will take more effort for Zephyr and cost more. Any powers that are godly in nature will not be approved, and the mods will exercise general discretion on what will be allowed. There should be a very good IC reason for the character to either work toward a power-up or request one. We may ask you to discuss this with us and provide proof of the IC growth of this idea/development of skills before we approve it.
New powers
New Power-related Items
Additional powers from a future canon/game-point
No Godly Abilities


BODY REGAINS100Physical alterations to the character's form. These do not involve power modifications that might come with the changes.
Missing Limbs/Original forms
MINOR CHANGES150
Eye color/hair color/tattoos/etc.
MAJOR CHANGES200
New appendages/Species changes


PETS60The pet sizes can range from a small horse to a parakeet. This includes pets from your character's previous game or canon world! We also reserve the right to say no to bringing in a pet if the pet is a character in its own right. Some examples of this are: JiJi from Kiki's Delivery Service, Luna from Sailor Moon, Spike from MLP:FIM. If a character is sapient enough to talk or think in a way humans can, it is not something you can wish for. All pets wished for are spayed/neutered.
Bees
Dogs
Tribbles
No sentient/playable pets


BUILDINGS700For a basic one room building. The more complicated the building the more points it will cost. If you want to buy a building, please discuss it with us along with having a drawn out plan of what you want.
The Library
The Observatory
The Windmill
(These required additional points.)


MINOR BUILDING RENOVATIONS100Minor renovations: Adding an extra door/window/exit, painting the walls, moving around heavy furniture.

Major renovations: Adding another story, completely changing the aesthetic or configuration of the interior.

If you aren't sure if a renovation is major or minor, please just ask!
New windows
New carpet
MAJOR BUILDING RENOVATIONS300
Second Floor
Basement


LAND EXPANSION1000Land Expansion: The Meadous map will increase by half a mile in one direction. The player will be able to decide what the land exists as from our present variety of land areas: Forest, river, beach, jungle, mountains, etc. It will also be populated with that biome's present assortment of plants and animals. (For visual reference, the Meadous village area is one mile across.)

New biome: The Meadous map will increase by half a mile in one direction, and the player may create a new biome to fill in that space. This includes land type and structure, as well as non-sapient flora and fauna that populate the area. Any additional space that is not used can be allocated to other currently existing biomes as the player wishes.

New species: Create a new sapient species to inhabit a currently existing portion of the Meadous. Player will design the structure of the new civilization and both the cultural habits and base interactions/attitude with the Meadous residents. (Think along the lines of the Wasps or the Beetle tribe in the Jungle.)

Zephyr Growth: Zephyr is a growing child and heavily influenced by their flock. Players can work with the mods to develop Zephyr through a physical alteration or a new ability. Be prepared to come to us with a good idea of what you want. **Must be a cooperative wish made by three or more people.**

Note: All additions and changes will need to meet mod approval and mesh with the tone of the game. One wish from this section per player per month.
One half-mile added
Existing biome
NEW BIOME3000
Choice of new biome
Includes non-sapient flora/fauna
NEW SPECIES5000
Choice of new species
Sapient + Cultural aspects
ZEPHYR GROWTH6000
Physical changes
New abilities


A note to remember: The current list is a general guideline! You can also wish/ask for something off of the provided categories, and we will give you a general price range and whether we would approve it or not. All wishes are on a case by case basis. While we encourage wishing, we also ask that there be a reason behind the wish in question.

As the world grows, players can wish for bigger items. Currently items cannot be any bigger than what can fit in a flatbed truck. Gundams, Big-O and zords are not allowed in the world. We do not permit mecha battles to take place, sadly.

As a general rule, unless your request is approved on this page by the mods, you cannot enact it ICLY. Requesting something does not mean you automatically get it.

Please keep all requests HERE! Any requests for items elsewhere will not be considered official requests that can be used in-game. This includes AIM conversations or on plurk.

Item: A pet (60 points) A creature. Fluffy thing to keep him company. Spirit is lonely as shit man, and he just...he would really like some company. But he's never really had time for a domesticated creature and he doesn't know what to wish for regarding it--so his exact wording will be that for "a pet that is soft and can keep me company."

Thanks to Terri's suggestion it's going to be a a fluffy gray-and-white ferret. That is, because Spirit wished it, very attached to him.


Points used:60 of the free points given for WtL's birthday. I'm slowly saving my harder-to-keep-count-of points for a bigger wish!

Item: a pet
Vesna, the flame-point balinese kitten that Dist got Jay way back when. This time, she'll age normally and eventually grow up to be an adult cat, but she's at first going to arrive at six weeks old. Jay's precise wish was to have his kitten back. Like previously, she's very attached to Jay and very affectionate.
Points: 60 of the WTL birthday points!

Item: a pet
Jay's wish: "something to remember Dist by". What this gets him is a young (8 weeks old) Moluccan Cockatoo. Because it's pink, pretty, affectionate and neurotic. The cockatoo arrives with a flight harness, a cage of suitable size, a large supply of toys and other necessary accessories and a book on proper care of cockatoos. (If those items require more points than the base 60, that's fine by me!)
Points: 60 of the WTL birthday points!

So, due to some pondering in game. Sasha is going to wish for the ability to copy things to help with the issues of supply, demand, use on natural resources, ect...

Now to keep it from being too 'haxs' I was thinking about wording it where Sasha could copy non-sentient things up to a certain size (say something he could carry physically). Would this be allowed?

Hey modlies! I was thinking of having Jeremy make a wish for a small liquor cabinet for his house, one that could magically restock on it's own if possible, but I'm a little confused on the points usage. The last post I linked for Jeremy's AC for September was a bulletin board post that made a total of 115 points, with 50 submitted for AC. Would I still be able to use the remaining 65 points to go towards making that wish, or would I have to dig up some older activity for wish points since I submitted the bulletin board post in it's entirety for AC?

Say like 2 acres of land of existing biome?

ALRIGHTY SO I'VE GOT A FEW QUESTIONS that I've been meaning to ask for like a year now! Ienzo's planning on wishing for a community greenhouse in order to help extend the Meadous' growing season because spending three months of the year with no fresh vegetables blows. In order to serve the entire Meadous it'd have to be a fairly large building and because I apparently can't wish for shit without making it real complicated I was imagining it as a hybrid of this large fancy dome greenhouse and this small sensible dome greenhouse half-buried in a hill (because dirt's insulating properties make recessed/buried greenhouses very efficient!! And it fits the Meadous's aesthetic). Would this be feasible? I imagine that between the size and complexity it'd cost more than 700 points but Ienzo's sitting on like 4 years of AC and I should probably do something with all of that anyway.

Second!! A more long-term goal I have for the greenhouse project is adding a climate-controlled area/hydroponics farm so that things can be grown year-round regardless of the weather. I could just wish for this, but from a narrative standpoint it'd be much more satisfying to have the characters in the Meadous work for it than just making Zephyr do it, which leads me to the actual question. Ienzo's got the schematics for the style of hydroponics facility the moon rabbits use - how would it possible be for him to wish for the materials needed to build the equipment with the intent of assembling and calibrating it all himself with the help of the rest of the community? And how much would that potentially cost?

Item: John is wishing to block Izzy's powers from influencing/detecting him. Thanks to their conversation during the 4th Wall, John was left quite paranoid about the nature of Izzy's fear-sensing powers. After winding up in a facsimile of Baker Street, encountering Izzy again in the Meadous, and then having Lili inform him about her psychic powers, John's concerns about mental influences and people knowing things about him has peaked. He doesn't particularly want to turn to Zephyr, but he also wants to test the extent of their power in suppressing other people's powers around individuals.

Jeremy has volunteered himself to look after Sherlock's cow Sally, so he's going to wish for some proper cow care supplies! He's going to need a brush for grooming, a rake and shovel, a personal 27-litre milk pasteurizer because someone wants cheese, and a cowbell and hat so Sally can be the prettiest cow.

Also not cow-related but like, a bigass carton of cigarettes.

How many points do we need?
