VyseLocke: Hi fellow SIA members! I've put this page here as a way for us to communicate with each other and share our ideas until we find a better way (AIM?). I'm wondering if everyone likes the idea of trying to meet each SOCKday after the posting at some time to try to coordinate attacks, strategize, answer trivia questions, etc. I don't know if this is realistic with everyone's schedules, but it's worth talking about.

Josh: I suggest we see how the comments work on this thing. Maybe this can work as a sort of "forum" for us. You're all probably smart enough to see that the "add a comment" button is below on the bottom right, but I just said it anyway. Also, thanks to everyone for doing their part on this wiki!

day own a shop of their own.

Scholar

MrMSTy — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 18:12:51 CST

The Scholar (SCH) class is mostly a mystery to us. We do have the "green message" below that probably refers to the class.

The smarts to decipher
The tomes of ages past;
The books of the gods whose pages know all.

This class is obtained by using the item "Scholar's Badge", which is dropped by Quiz Wiz.

On 2 August, a Book Store opened in Mendley, selling the Tome of Pride and Tome of Vocations, which can probably be deciphered by a Scholar of high enough level. Scholars have no known equipment to date.

Thief

GoddessAtma — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:03:32 CST

The Thief (THF) class was first mentioned on 27 June 2007, when the 300-point benchmark Goldgrabber was unveiled to the public. On 6 July, just before the week-long break in play thanks to E3, Matt revealed the Thief's Medal as the 350-point benchmark. The Medal was also available to players for a few hours when the Merchant Monkey set up shop on 17 July.

On 2 August, Matt hinted that a certain class "can use Sneak Gloves more effectively." Several brain surgeons were consulted and it's been concluded that this is probably the class to which he was referring. Since then, Vyselocke has confirmed this to be true at Level 10 and has done his usual job of stating the obvious.

The Thief class is obtained by using the Thief's Medal.

Abilities

Level 1: Hide (Go into hiding, disappearing from scoreboard, preventing all attacks and point loss. However, this ends with any questions answered, points gained, or actions taken.) This is rumored to be the greatest skill ever from certain expert hiders, but this cannot be confirmed as they haven't been seen or heard from since.

Level 3: Sneak Attack (Attack with unarmed attack power, and you cannot be counterattacked.)

Level 4: 10% Evasion (from physical attacks)

Level 5: Obscure (At the cost of 25 XP, scrambles one of the day's questions, allowing only the Thief to see the true question)

Level 6: +1 Unarmed Attack Power

Level 7: Throw (Ninja Stars, etc, may be used)

Level 8: Vanish (This is a private action that, at the expense of 25 exp, inflicts Vanish Status on one target.)

Level 9: +1 Unarmed Attack Power

Level 10: +15% Evasion (+25% total)
100% chance of succeeding with use of Sneak Gloves of all types
Steal (50% chance of succeeding)

Level 12: Unarmed Damage + 1

Level 13: Obscurega
Scrambles both questions and all of the potentialanswers - Exp Cost: 50

Level 14: Reverse
Inflicts Reverse status with 75% probability - Exp Cost: 50

Level 15: Unarmed Damage +1

Level 16: Evasion +35%

Level 17: Vanishga

Vyselocke's a level 11 Thief and probably will advance beyond that for a while.

Sockmaster

GoddessAtma — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 09:32:57 CST

A reading from the Tome of Vocations:

"The Sockmaster is like no other. The Sockmaster is no less than a God. Its power transcends game and all others, and only those with the experience of Forty will ever know it."

The Experience Cost is the soul’s remaining Exp, but if Exp is insufficient, the user is KO-ed instead. The vivified player will not appear as an enemy, but will instead be named “[Original Name] Z.” This zombified sucked Sock Player is under the user’s control until KO’d, and may even answer questions, etc, to gain points/exp. However, they may not obtain prizes.) - Level 15

Announcements: 3

On 20 July (and repeated while Wait Mode was in effect),

"The SIA is in the middle of developing a private wiki to help gather information about SOCK2. If you're interested in helping out (and possibly learning a thing or two), please consider joining our guild at no risk--if you don't like it with us, we can arrange your departure from the guild nearly as quickly as you arrive. If you'd like more information before applying, please see http://www.geocities.com/whocares1002/sia.html."

On 9 August,

"Every attack on the summons of the SIA is an attack on our guild and will be treated in kind. You've been warned."

On 12 September,

"Were you a victim of a super-powered attack by Mazell due to his Might or Focus buffs? Did you have a harder time inflicting magic damage? One simple Dispel from Sirius and your problems would have been solved. However, our source of Dispel was targeted and felled by the Hidden Hand (specifically Raaj and Kharamain). Please consider joining us in 'thanking' them for their efforts with our actions tomorrow." (This message would have been better-received, probably, had we not handed the last blow on Mazell. Oops.)

On 14 September,

"We would simply like to set the records straight and inform everyone of the following. Outside yesterday’s actions and our previous announcement, the SIA has not attacked a single player nor targetted a summon in this game. Our recent actions have only served to follow through on our promise to retaliate when the well-being of our guild is threatened. We are happy to play a clean game, contestants versus the monsters, allowing luck to play where it will. Some of our actions have indeed been altruistic in this game, casting Libra on mutual targets, Dispelling enemy buffs, and with your cooperation, we can try to continue to help the greater good when we can. Our guild wants nothing more than to be able to play the game, to observe what we can about all the monsters, items, classes, and abilities available.

Based on our observations, it would appear that successfully using the Key to Victory will not end the game, because Matt has said it’s far from over. We have now shown that we will retaliate if provoked, but we are willing to put past transgressions aside and would much rather continue to play the game together, answering trivia and fighting enemies the same way we have in the past."

I hope we can put the soapbox away now and just play the game.

The Hit List

The following characters have attacked the guild and may need to be dealt with eventually. (There were no attacks on us as of 10 August, thanks to a guild announcement. Let's hope that lasts!)

7 August - Genjuu commands The Watcher to scan ERROR.
8 August - Alael, UFJ, and Genjuu (via Glalie) attack ERROR's summon Electabuzz.
9 August - Boojum, Draconn, Nightwolf, and Thinkfreemind attack ERROR's summon Electabuzz.

14 August - UFJ (of the Guild of Magus) has blatantly disregarded our announcement and struck Electabuzz for a piddling 9 points.

06 September - Leaper hits Sirius with Darkra (128pts), may have been accidental
06 September - Jess casts Blizzard on Sirius (13pts), but was confused at the time
06 September -Sean attacks Sirius (16pts).
06 September - SuperKyle attacks Sirius (36pts), Gaijin casts Blizzard on Sirius (14pts), Flamethrower casts Fira on Sirius (33pts)--these are all members of the Order of Beorn.
06 September - Raaj (36pts) and Kharamain (33pts), both of The Hidden Hand cast Fira on Sirius.
07 September - Kharamain (HH) uses Umber Mote on Sirius, killing it. Vengeance will be sweet.
13 September - Sundoulos (OoB), Alael, and Kharamain (HH) all attempted to attack Joshua, but failed miserably.
14 September - Raaj and Sandy said mean things. Not that we really need to say mean things back.
19 September - Sandy used a Libra Mote on MrMSty. The Guild of Magus probably has at least as many jerks as the Hidden Hand, though perhaps a smaller proportion of them. We can hope, anyway.
25 September - Leaper's stupid Storm spell, which is random yet annoying, struck Ifrit for 81 damage.
27 September - FoxKelfonne Blizzagas Ifrit for 99 damage. Man, I hope someday we can kick the asses of every member of that sorry guild. Pardon us for living!
28 September - Flamethrower of the mostly unorganized Order of Beorn casts Blizzara on Ifrit. Leaper's stupid Storm spell strikes again. But Ifrit healed himself to maximum.
6 November - The following players attacked us: Koala Bob, Draconn, Shadowchancellor, Sundoulos, Xlash, Gaijin, Flamethrower. KoS.
