Alright, ladies and gentlemen. The new Furc update has arrived and brought with it Regions and Effects. This will allow Silverion to finally do what we've wanted to do for a long time: weather. This brings up two major issues:
1. What kind of weather?
2. Automatic scripting.
Should we include rain, fog, and night time effects? What else should we include?
Also, should we only have hard commands that allow Council/moderators to change the weather at will or should we use scripted timed/semi-random events? If so, how often should this occur?
Discuss. Failure to discuss will result in me having full control over the project. Win-win for me either way.

I think there should be a timed rainstorm randomly once every week for a couple hours at most.
I also think that people with share should be able to change weather, to suit a plot, that will revery back to clear skies (day or night) a few hours later.

I'd say have the following settings. -One 'random' setting that cycles through weather at random times, with random weather. -A series of other settings for specific weather that lasts for as long as we have them turned on.
I think we should have the following weather: -Light rain -Hard, stormy rain with wind -Fog -Snow (for those magicky situations when snow happens, even if it technically doesn't happen on-island) -Mix of night+rain -Night+fog if possible -Night+snow -plain night
There's been suggestions for making a dawn/dusk setting, but I've yet to see one that's been done correctly... It always just looked like bad pollution to me. I know I'd like to display dawn/dusk as just making the blue sky-tiles visible from the tavern, and the cliffs, various shades of red or other evening colors. I'd like to keep in mind to have those tiles edited as well, maybe even get a moon placed in, visible at the cliffs when night happens.
And that's all I can think of right now.

See, this is another reason why I wish Atas hadn't belly flopped like it did. They actually had a good dusk, and I have no clue which one of the mods pulled it off.
