Talk:Hobopolis

10m to buy with clan coffers, we need a LOT of work done.

How can I add a new adventure page? Here is text for one of the adventures in the Sewer after paying to get it unclogged:

Title: Despite All Your Rage

You're walking down one of the myriad sewer tunnels when you sense danger -- and not the danger that exists between your first and last names, but real, palpable danger.

All of a sudden, you hear a rattling of chains above you, and before you can even look upwards, a rusty cage drops from the ceiling and traps you. You look around for your captor, and see him -- it's one of the C. H. U. M.s, muttering and drooling as he inspects his latest catch (which is you, in case you haven't been paying attention.)

He drags you down a side tunnel and leaves you in a darkened alcove. You survey the situation, and the survey doesn't take very long, because the cage is pretty small. The results of your suvey: You're stuck in a cage. The bars don't seem to be particularly strong, but they're thick -- you think you could probably gnaw through them, but it would take a while (and you'd probably desperately need dental attention afterwards.) Barring that (ha ha, get it? barring?) you could wait and see if anybody in your clan comes to your rescue. Do you think you're popular enough for that to be a reasonable option?

Options: - Gnaw through the bars (10 Adventures) - Wait for rescue

-- Picking Wait options leads to the following text:

Results: You bang on the bars and yell for help, but nobody hears you. You're sad and lonely...

Despite All Your Rage

You're still trapped in this filthy cage.

Options: - Gnaw through the bars (10 Adventures) - Wait for rescue

While "waiting for rescue", you can't do anything, just like in the middle of a fight. --Zeviz 23:44, 16 June 2008 (CDT)

Hobopolis is an actual adventuring area in the Clan Basement. After turning the valve in the sewer often enough, you can get a non-combat that lets you "go deeper" to Hobopolis. --CirclMastr 09:56, 17 June 2008 (CDT)

Hobo Names

• All hobo names are randomly generated. We won't be able to make a page for all of them-- just a generic hobo page for each element with all the possibilities listed.. --TechSmurf 14:26, 17 June 2008 (CDT)
• Also, the skill books aren't one-time, just incredibly rare. --TechSmurf 14:35, 17 June 2008 (CDT)

Reference

To me, this looks like a clear reference to Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere[1]. I couldn't find the term anywhere on the wiki. Am I the only one in thinking that? --Groli 20:33, 17 June 2008 (CDT) Possibly, but I'd consult the radio transcripts to find the first mention of Hobopolis first. Killerrabbit
