What we need is an X channel for all the
people who are in the X frame of mind.
No, this would not be an X-rated channel.
But a channel for the Xers to unite themselves
with. They could shout out "Hey Xers"
and wouldn't have to worry about the Xers
not hearing them, because everyone with an 'x'
in their channel would be forced to hear it.
You would talk on the channel by typing x
Now I realize this would interfere with the
current mudwide alias of x=exits but that would just have
to be changed for this special group.
We would have to change x=exits to e=exits.
Now I realize that changing the alias for exits to e would
seriously mess with the short form of east. So we will
have to rename east to left and use l=left(east)
Now.. I know everyone types "l" look.
That's ok! We'll just change look to observe.
So o=observe(look).
But o=open?
Well.. we'll just have to change that to n for opeN.
Err.. that would mess up North...
Well.. everyone knows that North is always up.. so we'll use 'u'
But.. there's already a direction "Up"
we'll just call that 'ascend' instead and use a.
I don't recally using 'a' that much while playing.
I'm sure we can do without it.
So.. to summarize now:
x= X channel
e=exits
l=left(east)
o=observe(look)
n=opeN
u=up(true north)
a=ascend(up)

Incidentally if you type in 'a' the mud returns:
You look around accusingly.
And we wouldn't want to be doing that all the time.
It breeds suspicion amongst our neighbors and fellow
morts.
So there's no problem with allocating 'a' as an
alias for ascend.

(this is also on thread #45)
I could give a rat's ass if you listen to channels or don't, if you
put letters in your title or don't, but PLEASE PLEASE shut the {F} up
about it!
Thanks.

Hehe, that's funny. One problem tho, left is west, not east. But that's
just nitpicking :)

BTW Harkonnen, if you don't want to read about it, then don't. All the
threads on this topic are easy to identify (and avoid if you want) :P

I just don't understand why people are so upset about the X thing.

damn...
since east is right, we'll have to short it to r
and that knocks our rest
so we'll call that n for nap
and we're back to u for up(north) and a=ascend(up)
another recap:
x=X chan
e=exits
r=right(east)
n=nap(rest)
u=up(true north)
a=ascend(up)

Funny how Benjamin is able to hand out advice on how to ignore
something, when the last 5-10 posts from him have been exactly that
being unwilling to just ignore something but whine and grope as
much as possible, funny man, unfortunately, I doubt it's a sense
of humor.
There exists no separation between gods and men
one blends softly casual into the other.
