PKOK

Ea! says, 'Nope.'

'Doh,' Icarus says.

Tobias says, 'Kaige might be having a special Q/A about that.'

'Cool,' Icarus says.

'Hrm i think reject should be an imm only command...' Icarus says.

'Thus eliminating the purpose of PKOK,' Tobias says.

'What was the purpose of pkok again??' Icarus says.

Icarus says, 'I keep on fergetting.'

Tobias says, 'To put PK in the player's hands.'

'To let people choose who they want to play wif,' LadyAce says.

Icarus says, 'Eep.'

Icarus says, 'Darn, eliminated all the fear, anger, hatred in pk.'

'I'm not scared or nobodies scared of me anymore and i don't hate anyone anymore =P,' Icarus says.

Hitman says, 'Okay i'm really assuming that nothing is gonna be done with pkok ...'

Stolen Strings

'Cuz then you could restring their supernice item on to a junky one,' LadyAce says.

'What if its just the string though?' the cunning prince of thieves says slyly to you.

'The idea with stealing is to make the item steal-back-able, restringing it would let you use the imms to get around that,' LadyAce says. 'No dice.'

'Thats what i dont get,' the cunning prince of thieves says slyly to you.

LadyAce says, 'Restring destroys the item, no option there.'

Hitman says, 'What's the rules on ownership?'

'Should make agrabah dump not dumpable-if-eq-is-owned,' Icarus says.

Hitman says, 'I thought there was gonna be a timer on that stuff ...'

The cunning prince of thieves says, sly as a fox, to you, 'If the string is just the string and stolen i dont see why you cant get it strung and change ownership =p.'

A dark lady of the Sith says, 'As in it's really a strung storage item?'

'Hm, what I'm hearing now is that the ownership won't tick down unless you abandon the item someplace,' LadyAce says. 'So you plain can't steal stuff and use the strings.'

Ea! says, 'You can't get someone else's item as your permanently just by stealing it and avoiding them for days. The owner timeout is basically just to remove abandonded objects from the game, not to make things easier for you to steal.'

'If autolicus steals something from someone, and i steal that something from autlicus, will autolicus now be the owner of that thing?' Icarus says. 'Hrm.'

Lord Danar says to Icarus, 'No.' 'Steal doesn't change the actual owner of the item,' Lord Danar says to Icarus.

'Items from decayed corpses will have a 3 day timer too,' LadyAce says.

'I know someone who lost a sun dagger that way earlier this month,' LadyAce says.

Accept in PKOK

'Only gms can do that, and that's pretty much how it's going to stay afaik,' LadyAce says.

'It's up to the GM,' Ea! says to the cunning prince of thieves.

The cunning prince of thieves says, sly as a fox, 'Like make it so they are accepting all other pk clans then after their timer is off make it so they can reject?'

'Gm's should get off their lazy asses and do something for once,' Sandra Starseed says.

'*ahem* im a gm and i am currently accepting ALL pk clans,' the cunning prince of thieves says slyly.

Lord Danar says, 'Take some responsibility :b.'

TinyPlots

A dark lady of the Sith says, 'I know that Natalia and I are working on a tinyplot but its very much at the drawing board stage right now.'

'None scheduled at the moment,' LadyAce says. 'If you want to work one up, talk to any PR imm!'

Tobias says, 'I'm not to smart with that stuff.'

A dark lady of the Sith says, 'So much on the drawing board we didnt even tell LA yet :).'

LadyAce says to Tobias, 'All it takes is a little interest :) don't be shy.'

OOC Items

'We never could?' a dark lady of the Sith says.

Sandra Starseed says, 'You never could.'

'Oh, that's easy,' Lord Danar says. 'You could never take ooc items ic. If you did, it was a bug :b'

'Yes, you could ^_^,' Tobias says. 'You just had to LD in OOC. And it would drag them back.'

The cunning prince of thieves says slyly to Hitman, 'Not for too much longer.'

'Well, you should've reported it then :b,' Lord Danar says to Tobias.

Tobias grins evilly. Tobias says, 'I did.'

'You can't do it cuz the items are OOC items, they don't fit in to the IC Legend world,' LadyAce says.

'Well, that's why it doesn't work any more,' Lord Danar says to Tobias. 'They fixed it :b.'

Bug/Idea/Typo Lotto

'Soonish, but it's Chimera you need to ask, really,' a dark lady of the Sith says to Hitman.

'I know he was drawing numbers yesterday,' a dark lady of the Sith says to Hitman.

'Although they sometimes pile up,' Lord Danar says to Hitman.

Lord Danar says, 'He ran about four weeks worth yesterday.'

Skilltrees

LadyAce says, 'No news.'

'Ah,' Tobias says. 'Okies.'

'Skilltrees are on hold,' Ea! says.

Tobias says, 'If they ever do Implement them... Will we hafta remake?'

A wiry man with empty eye sockets says, 'Skillwipe.'

'No, you won't,' LadyAce says.

'Then we have to get all skills back most likely,' a wiry man with empty eye sockets says.

Prize Machine

LadyAce says, 'Whenever I update 'em, really.'

'As often as LadyAce's moods!' a dark lady of the Sith says to Tobias. 'In other terms, fairly often when she feels like it.'

Tobias says, 'You could set up a day-cycle system, that'd be pretty spiffy.'

'If you have ideas for it, be sure to suggest 'em,' LadyAce says.

Tobias says, 'Every day it randomly assigns strings to rarity slots.'

'Hard enough to think up a dozen interesting items, harder still if you multiply that by 7,' LadyAce says to Tobias.

Tobias says, '...we can help!'

'You're always welcome to submit ideas for the prize machine :),' a dark lady of the Sith says to Tobias.

'So i can sit all day when i'm meditating and spam ideas of stringz??' Icarus says to a dark lady of the Sith.

LadyAce says, 'Use the idea channel, everything in there is mailed to me weekly.'

'Knuckle-bone dice!' Tobias says.

'I'd use email if I were you, but yeah, in a sense,' a dark lady of the Sith says to Icarus.

Lord Danar says, 'Spamming the idea channel is grounds for whacking.'

'Of course, if you send LA 20k emails with silly ideas, she might just set up a filter to autodelete them or something - I know I would :P,' a dark lady of the Sith says.

'Don't spam in the same stuff over and over, we're far more likely to ignore it,' LadyAce says.

Unimplemented Spells

'Never,' Ea! says to Icarus. 'When we get around to it, we'll pull them from the spell lists.'

'Most of those spells were to deal with balance issues that no longer exist,' Ea! says. 'A few are to deal with specific feature sets that we might implement later, I suppose.'

Hitman says, 'So everything that was supposed to be imp'd aren't?'

Ea! says, 'But the first type, we'll just implement spells that deal with current issues.'

Oil for Igniting

'Mudmail that one to me, I might think up an equivalent in my next area,' a dark lady of the Sith says to the cunning prince of thieves.

'Aka kerosene etc,' the cunning prince of thieves says slyly.

Immortal Coverage

'Oandlig's on about twelve hours from now,' Lord Danar says.

'Oandlig lives in the Philippines,' LadyAce says.

'Yeah, Oandlig and I both live in really weird time zones,' a dark lady of the Sith says.

A dark lady of the Sith notes it's 3 am where she's at.

'Lirra is on now and then, mostly she does seminars,' LadyAce says. 'She's doing another one soon, in fact. On developing RP familes.'

'I haven't seen Chimera on for a while, nor have i seen Spencer or Joule,' Hitman says.

Lord Danar says, 'Chim was on yesterday.'

'Spencer was on yesterday too,' Lord Danar says.

'Joule is an excused absence,' LadyAce says.

Phase and Break Door Protection

'Some doors are phase and break proof,' the cunning prince of thieves says slyly to Icarus.

'For some reason, builders have not put them into the game,' LadyAce says. 'It's up to them to do so.'

Backstab

'Huginn's new backstab code has less max damage in it than the old code did,' LadyAce says. 'Play with it if you want to know more specific stuff about it.'

The cunning prince of thieves says slyly, 'We have played with it =p.'

'Like i said i have seen a backstab do 98 damage,' the cunning prince of thieves says slyly.

'With the round of damage I'd gather,' Sandra Starseed says. 'That'st he only time I see that much damage with that spell.'

Icarus says, 'No it was before round damage =P. Well, he might be reading it wrong. But i KNOW for sure it can go over 100.'

Fight types

'Not that I know of,' LadyAce says. 'It's not on the todo list.'

'You know that some people still use fighttype verbose, right?' Lord Danar says.

'That's a lot of new messages to make up,' Lord Danar says.

Tobias says, 'Awww..stupid verbose...'

'Verbose rocks :b,' Lord Danar says.

'Even compact is too verbose for me,' a child prodigy says childishly.

Inspire Bug in PKOK

'Hm, did you put that on the bug channel?' LadyAce says.

A child prodigy says childishly, 'I didn't know if it was a bug or just the way you meant it to be.'

'Yeah, I was on one of the runs that got hit pretty hard by that one,' a dark lady of the Sith says.

'It does sound too annoying to be intentional,' LadyAce says.

A dark lady of the Sith says, 'Yep - suddenly all hitters but one was un-healable.'

'It was awful,' a child prodigy says, for all the world like a little kid. 'I couldn't heal half the group.'

'I think that sounds like a bug that'll be fixed,' LadyAce says.

PKOK Levels

'Yes, we've been enabling people at 35+,' LadyAce says.

Stealing Bug?

'I don't know,' LadyAce says. 'Put it on the bug channel? It's probably a bug.'

NorthStar

'I haven't, personally, but I'm fairly confident she's still 'round,' LadyAce says to a wiry man with empty eye sockets.

Limits on Enabling

Sandra Starseed shakes her head.

'No more than you can handle, I'd say =P,' Sandra Starseed says to the cunning prince of thieves.

The cunning prince of thieves says slyly, 'Wow no limit?'

Lord Danar says, 'There's nolimit.'

'No limit, but I can't see people really being active with more than 10 chars or so,' LadyAce says to the cunning prince of thieves.

'I can't handle more than 5 and they're not even enabled,' a child prodigy says in a childish tone.
