Bean-bag Stringable?

'Stringable?' Fuzzey says, with a playful tone. 'I was told it was and wasn't.'

'Hm, let me look at it,' LadyAce says.

'Thief!' Fuzzey says, with a playful tone.

Fuzzey giggles...

'Yes, this is restringable,' LadyAce says.

Fuzzey bounces around.

LadyAce gives a pink plastic bean-bag chair to Fuzzey.

Fuzzey says playfully, '2:1, it must be, then!'

'Who else has a question?' LadyAce says.

Fuzzey looks up into the sky and ponders.

Will the Kiera bags be cloned?

LadyAce says, 'That's up to Sandra, but as far as I know she plans to replace all those things.'

Fuzzey nods his agreement with LadyAce.

Snipe Timer

Dashiva says insanely, 'Can it be lowered?'

LadyAce says, 'You mean the timer on the flag?'

'Better yet, is it still 2 ticks,' Dashiva says insanely.

Dashiva nods his agreement with LadyAce.

LadyAce says, 'Hm...I'd be interested to see what people have to say about that.'

Dashiva nods solemnly.

'Post it to discussion and we'll see how people react?' LadyAce says.

'It would help in mobkill alot,' Dashiva says insanely.

Dashiva nods solemnly.

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Is it 2 ticks?'

'We can't answer that...' Ea! says.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Hrm.'

LadyAce says, 'It's not hard to make it different in mobkill than pkill, is it?'

'Er, is it?' LadyAce says to Ea!.

Kaige says, 'But we don't really want to widen the gap either.'

Dashiva says insanely, 'No one aims too much in pk any way =).'

'Unless your hiding,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

'It might be warranted in this situation,' LadyAce says.

LadyAce shrugs helplessly.

'Just waiting for forever to use your main skill is boooring,' Dashiva says insanely.

'Sounds like the smart way to do it,' Kaige says to Dashiva.

'I'd be interested to see what people say, regardless,' LadyAce says.

Kaige nods her agreement with LadyAce.

Dashiva says insanely, 'Okees.'

Channels: OOC vs IC

'Heh,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

Dashiva bounces around.

Fuzzey bounces around.

Dashiva nods his agreement with Carney.

Kaige chuckles politely.

LadyAce says, 'Ugh.'

'Ugh?' Fuzzey says, with a playful tone.

Dashiva bursts into tears.

Fuzzey says playfully, 'I'll take that as a no..'

Fuzzey giggles.

Dashiva nods his agreement with Fuzzey.

'I think it's a suggestion on the board, but I haven't seen it discussed among imms,' LadyAce says.

Dashiva nods solemnly.

Fuzzey nods solemnly.

LadyAce says, 'It's not up to me in particular, I just say ugh :P.'

Dashiva snickers softly.

'That's half of what we use gossip for,' Fuzzey says, with a playful tone. 'Well, me at least.'

'Use serenade,' Ea! says.

'Tried, I can't seem to info it =(,' Dashiva says insanely.

Fuzzey whines playfully, 'But that takes a skill.'

LadyAce says, 'I don't like gossip either :P.'

Dashiva says insanely, 'Guess I gotta have sing.'

Fuzzey peers at LadyAce, looking her up and down.

'Whyyy?' Fuzzey says, with a playful tone, to LadyAce.

Ea! says, 'Getting on info with serenade is hard.'

Fuzzey says playfully to LadyAce, 'Its the hip channel!'

Fuzzey giggles.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'You dont have to have sing do you?'

'Or do?' Dashiva says, looking crazed. 'Or you cant answer.'

Dashiva peers around the room intently.

Fuzzey chuckles politely.

Naomi thinks the more channels the better.

'I don't like the fact that the channel which shows descs (which seems IC) is usable and viewable when you're asleep (which seems OOC),' LadyAce says.

Naomi nods her agreement with LadyAce.

Fuzzey says playfully, 'I think gossip is more ooc than chat, myself.'

Dashiva looks up into the sky and ponders.

Dashiva says insanely, 'It is.'

Fuzzey says, with a playful tone, 'Showing descs is ...well...just neat.'

'I think it makes the channel system incoherent,' LadyAce says.

'There should be more clear delineation between ic and ooc channels,' Naomi says. 'People just use any for whatever.'

Fuzzey says playfully, 'Why not make an ooc channel?'

'Another issue, exactly,' LadyAce says to Naomi.

'That could work,' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

Fuzzey says, with a playful tone, 'Replace gossip with (ooc)gossip.'

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Heh.'

Fuzzey giggles.

'I think a ooc channel is a good idea,' Darkness says.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Rp would base more on chat then?'

Kaige says, 'Well the main reason we haven't put in a channel with the NAME ooc is we'd lose the command ooc to get here.'

'Make chat what you see when asleep instead of gossip,' Naomi says. 'Then just spread the word to use gossip as ic and chat ooc.'

Fuzzey says playfully, 'It'd get over these ooc-insult arguments.'

Fuzzey giggles.

'Ahh,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

Ce'Nedra returns to being In Character.

Fuzzey says playfully to Kaige, 'Name gossip gossip(ooc)?'

Dashiva says insanely, 'Chat would be more RP based i think if there was a ooc based channel.' Fuzzey nods his agreement with Dashiva. Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'People would take a chat seriously, unlike a gossip.'

'I don't mind making a particular channel ooc, but I wouldn't want to necessarily declare a channel ic,' LadyAce says..

'I've also seen suggestions for the gossip channel to be default on for new characters too,' Kaige says.

Dashiva nods solemnly.

'I just want to be able to turn off all the chatting about politics and music and movies (and karaoke) without losing the rp,' Naomi says.

LadyAce says, 'I don't want to see us get into arguments judging people on whether their words are ic or ooc.'

Dashiva nods his agreement with LadyAce.

Kaige nods her agreement with Naomi.

'I think splitting channels would be good,' Fuzzey says playfully.

Fuzzey says playfully, 'If chat were clearly IC, and gossip were clearly OOC, it'd...be...um...good?'

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Well no.'

Dashiva says insanely, 'There would be a ton of challengeing.'

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Someone would get mad if I said fuzzey smells on chat.'

Fuzzey says, with a playful tone, 'Why?'

Fuzzey is completely boggled.

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'As if now, it wouldnt.'

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'They would take it OOC.'

Naomi says, 'Fuzzey smells like carrots and bunny fur.'

'Er...isn't that whatcha meant?' Fuzzey says playfully.

Fuzzey giggles.

Dashiva snickers softly.

Naomi pets Fuzzey lovingly.

LadyAce says, 'I think channels will probably continue to evolve, but I very much sympathize with Naomi's argument about not wanting to miss the RP when someone else gets going on sports.'

'I guess you could try it, I dunno if the imms are into expierments,' Dashiva says, looking crazed. Dashiva nods solemnly.

'I'd support it if chat had descs and gossip kept the see-when-sleeping,' LadyAce says.

Naomi nods her agreement with LadyAce.

'Someone post that one to discussion as well, and we can see what people think,' LadyAce says.

'Hm,' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

'Yeah, I'd buy that one better too,' Kaige says.

'Chat may get spammy,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

'I think if we could optionally turn descs on/off on the ic channel would be better,' Fuzzey says playfully.

Dashiva nods his agreement with Fuzzey.

LadyAce says to Fuzzey, 'Could reflect whether your desc is on or off irl.'

Kaige says, 'Without toggling name?'

Fuzzey nods his agreement with Kaige.

'Chatdesc,' Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'On and off.'

Dashiva says insanely, 'Or chatname.'

LadyAce says, 'I wouldn't want that one.'

'Already I somtimes turn off gossip because all those's desc is to spammy,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

Kaige says, 'Yeah.. I think it should be what's currently showing IC if you want the channel to be more IC.'

'Or somebody could conceivably get a desc and never use it just to be anonymous,' Naomi says.

'Heh,' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

LadyAce nods her agreement with Kaige.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'I like that idea.'

What _is_ kawurmeh?

Vendetta chuckles politely.

'Its cool, and seems to fill you completely, but what is it?' Fuzzey says, with a playful tone.

'It could be soylent green or somethin,' Fuzzey says playfully.

'I've never heard the word before here,' LadyAce says. 'So I don't know.'

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Heh.'

Fuzzey flops about helplessly.

Kae has created some kawurmeh!

'Ask Charity sometime :),' LadyAce says..

Fuzzey says playfully, 'Didn't kaige build eqypt area?'

'It's good looking, smells good, but you can't quite identify it...' Kaige says.

Fuzzey says, with a playful tone, 'Ah, charity did..okies.'

'Nope,' Kaige says. 'Charity... areainfo egypt will give you info like that.'

"You can't tell quite what goes into it, but coming out of it is the most mouth-watering smell you've ever smelled in your long existence of smelling foods.

Kae giggles.

Kae wants to know too, now!

Fuzzey giggles.

'Heh,' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

'I'll mud-mail her,' Fuzzey says, with a playful tone.

'It might be a different pronunciation of shawurmeh, which is a sort of roasted meat sliced off in little slivers,' LadyAce says.

Rent & Prestige

Ea! says, 'Prestige is used for a bunch of skills, mainly bardic ones.'

LadyAce nods her agreement with Ea!.

Ea! says, 'We'll probably try to add something else to the game that requires presitge, but the rent thing was more of a pain than it was worth.'

Dashiva nods solemnly.

Vendetta says, 'Should have done that before I lost my eq.'

Q&A Attendance

Ea! says, 'They aren't?'

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Heh.'

Vendetta says, 'Look at the turn out.'

Dashiva says insanely, 'The imms like to get me here alone, they dont tell anyone.'

Dashiva cowers in fear!

Fuzzey says playfully, 'Hey, I'm here...'

Straussy always enjoyed asking LA questions.

Fuzzey giggles at Dashiva.

Vendetta says, 'Besides THANK YOU ALL IMMS PRESENT FOR YOUR WONDERFUL INPUT.'

Ea! says, 'It seems to me it's always about this size.'

Naomi says, 'I think because there haven't been any major changes lately.'

'I imagine the people who come are those with questions,' LadyAce says.

Dashiva likes the social interaction.

Naomi nods her agreement with Dashiva.

'We do have larger crowds after big changes, and smaller ones when we have smaller ones,' LadyAce says.

Naomi just likes to give input.

Dashiva says insanely, 'But then again as soon its over all the imms go invis again.'

LadyAce giggles at Dashiva.

Dashiva snickers softly.

Vendetta likes the friends he has even if it is during Q & A.

Kaige usually has to go fix and eat dinner then. 'Its like a ghost town after this,' Dashiva says insanely.

Fuzzey giggles.

Naomi hugs Vendetta.

Vendetta smiles at Naomi.

Kudos from Vendetta

LadyAce says, 'The mud compression standard thingy looks neat to me, it was Snapper's change.'

Vendetta says, 'I THINK EVERYTHING YOU DO IS GOOD, THANKS A LOT FOR A GREAT MUD!!!'

LadyAce giggles at Vendetta.

LadyAce thanks Vendetta heartily.

Naomi covers her eyes with her hands.

Vendetta chuckles politely.

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Heh.'

Consider too vague?

Lorenzo smiles happily.

'There's more info available in the judge skill,' LadyAce says to Lorenzo.

'Or spell,' LadyAce says to Lorenzo.

'Judge is wacky,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

Lorenzo sighs loudly.

'Consider is a simple level comparison at the moment,' LadyAce says to Lorenzo.

'O-kay....' Lorenzo says.

'Yes, simple is fine -- it just doesn't go high enough. :),' Lorenzo says.

'I agree it's not the most helpful command now that mobs are more complex,' LadyAce says.

Dashiva nods solemnly.

'It might be interesting to give players a hook into our mobkill stats database,' LadyAce says.

'I usually find that the crazies are all easy, and the deaths all cons the same,' Lorenzo says.

Lorenzo shrugs helplessly.

Dashiva grins evilly at LadyAce.. wonder what he's thinking.

Kaige has been making mobs more complex this week too.

An aura of heavenly light appears above Kaige's head.

'"this warrior has a reputation for killing anyone within 10 levels of him"' LadyAce says.

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Oooooh.'

Rusalka giggles at Kaige.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Now that, I like.'

'I like that idea...' Ea! says to LadyAce.

LadyAce cheers for herself since no one else has.

Lorenzo says, 'I just don't want to have to get judge since I have to be smarter for that. :).'

'I'd like to see it in judge, actually,' Ea! says to Kaige. 'Or a new lore.'

Ea! says to Lorenzo, 'Yeah, but it strikes me as something that takes a bit of skill -- finding people to listen to rumors about how tough someone is.'

Mob Balance

'Heh,' Dashiva says insanely.

Sandra says, '"Don't even try it, he'll kick your ass" ? ;).'

Dashiva rolls around on the ground with laughter.

Fuzzey stands on his tip-toes and does a Snoopy-like dance of joy!

'What era?' Fuzzey says playfully. 'Ancient?'

Dashiva says, looking crazed, to Kaige, 'Reaaaaaallly?'

Dashiva beams at Kaige delightedly.

Kaige say to Ea!, 'I was going to see about adding that type of info in...'

Dashiva says insanely, 'Yay.'

Rusalka chuckles politely.

Lorenzo smiles happily.

'I'll take carney and will loot and pillage agrabah,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

'Not to con specifically, but to track it at least,' Kaige says.

'Kheldar made a new quest there....oooo,' Fuzzey says playfully. Dashiva says insanely, 'Oof.'

'That was a while ago...' Kaige say to Fuzzey.

Fuzzey says playfully, 'When?'

Fuzzey says playfully, 'I never heard of this!'

'Man this is a ton if imms,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

'Even a inactive one,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

Straussy chuckles politely.

'Your lagging us!!' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

Dashiva bursts into tears.

Fuzzey giggles.

Fuzzey says playfully, 'When did the new quest go in?'

'New quest?' Sandra says.

'I think he was looking at the areainfo,' Kaige says to Sandra.

Fuzzey says playfully, 'Kheldar's Arabia quest I just found out about.'

'Oh,' Sandra says.

'What do you mean areainfo,' Dashiva says, looking crazed, to Fuzzey.

'And quests,' Dashiva says, looking crazed, to Fuzzey.

Fuzzey giggles.

Dashiva attempts to prod Fuzzey but Fuzzey isn't about to go anywhere.

Sandra says to Dashiva, 'Type areainfo? ;).'

Fuzzey says playfully, 'Type 'areainfo arabia'.

'Is that old?' Dashiva says insanely.'

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'The additional quest added.'

'Hm, should put dates mebbe?' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

'The areainfo?' Kaige says. 'About 3 weeks or so.'

Dashiva nods solemnly.

Kaige says, 'Knowing the dates helps too.'

Dashiva nods solemnly.

Dashiva says insanely, 'Yea.'

Lorenzo shrugs helplessly.

'Someone: Yes, true,' Lorenzo says. 'It's just not clear to me that you should be able to tell so much without skills/spells, but no more. I don't know how much it is that I really discern by considering.'

'Probably just a matter of my inexperience,' Lorenzo says. 'Most things are.'

Lorenzo giggles.

'Con is basically just looking at someone and going whoah... they're tough I don't wanna mess with them....' Kaige says to Lorenzo.

'What about malta?' Fuzzey says playfully. 'Conning an easy there means almost death.'

Fuzzey giggles.

Dashiva snickers softly.

Kaige says to Lorenzo, 'Or... man.. would you look at that wuss... everyone does it... but actually knowing what your real chances against them are more complicated and takes some skill to know.'

'Walk into the crypt with see invis,' Dashiva says insanely to Fuzzey.

Kaige says to Lorenzo, 'Make sense?'

Lorenzo says to Kaige, 'Oh, I understand the intention, just not the limits.'

Fuzzey says playfully to Dashiva, 'You mean the shade?'

Dashiva nods his agreement with Fuzzey.

'You should complain about any really hard mobs that con as really easy,' LadyAce says.

Dashiva looks up into the sky and ponders.

LadyAce says, 'And the builder can at least look at ways to warn you other than with the level comparison in con.'

Kaige says, 'And vice versa.'

An aura of heavenly light appears above your head.

Fuzzey says playfully, 'Well, those malta knights, conned as easy, tore up a level..like..40 or 45 at the time character.'

Dashiva snickers at Kae nastily.

An aura of heavenly light appears above Kae's head.

Naomi nods her agreement with Fuzzey.

Dashiva says insanely, 'Bah.'

'Those are easy,,' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

'To me that means that con info should be vague, but not *necessarily* that there should only be... what, 7 ranges?' Lorenzo says to Kaige.

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Try tanking aloph.'

Sandra cheers for Kae - huzzah!

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'And his cronies.'

Kae does that often.

Rusalka chuckles politely.

Kae is just smart :P

Dashiva says insanely, 'Then do dragut!!'

LadyAce says, 'If you want the long explanation, I'll give it :P.'

Sandra says to Fuzzey, 'Tore up, or caused them to lose more than 100hp? ;).'

Kaige says to Lorenzo, 'I'll take a peek at it this week, see what I canb come up with.'

Fuzzey says, with a playful tone, to Sandra, 'Died Dead.'

Sandra says, 'Hehe.'

Fuzzey giggles.

'The problem with midlevel "harder" mobs is that if we make them level 50 then they're no good for midlevels to groupkill,' LadyAce says.

Lorenzo thanks you heartily.

'Dead and very embarassed ^_~,' Fuzzey says, with a playful tone, to Sandra.

'Sorry to be hassling,' Lorenzo says to Kaige.

Lorenzo smiles happily.

LadyAce says, 'If we make midlevel group mobs show up as lev 35 then there's the problem you talk about.'

Sandra nods her agreement with LadyAce.

Rusalka says, 'Becuase the bigger the level, the smaller the split for mid levels?'

'Because the hittable takes level into account,' LadyAce says.

'A lev 1 can't hardly scratch even a superweak lev 50,' LadyAce says.

Rusalka nods solemnly.

Fuzzey scribbles down on his 'mud secret' pad.

Dashiva snickers softly.

'And we can't make level independent of exp?' Rusalka says.

'Whoosh!' Lorenzo says. 'I think I clearly lack some fundamental rpg background.'

LadyAce says, 'Level and xp can be independent, somewhat.'

'But consider and level aren't,' LadyAce says.

Rusalka thought that it was pretty rigid.

LadyAce says, 'And difficulty and level aren't.'

Rusalka shrugs helplessly.

Rusalka says, 'Standardized.'

LadyAce says to Rusalka, 'No, there's a starting point, but from there the numbers should be modified to match the difficulty.'

'Hadn't realized that,' Rusalka says to LadyAce.

'So mobs that are too hard for their xp, are good for xp when you're in a group?' Naomi says.

LadyAce says to Rusalka, 'I didn't realize it for quite a while either.'

'It depends on the mob,' LadyAce says to Naomi.

Dashiva says insanely, 'Yea.'

Rusalka looks up into the sky and ponders.

'Archdruid sure is hard for 20k,' Dashiva says insanely.

LadyAce says to Naomi, 'Some of them are too hard for xp cuz you're not supposed to kill them.'

Rusalka says, 'Then my bear should be good.'

Naomi assumed that it would be even worse in a group.

Dashiva nods solemnly.

'Some are hard and lower xp for other reasons,' Sandra says.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Alot of quest mobs are bad xp to discourage killing them.'

Rusalka nods her agreement with Sandra.

LadyAce nods her agreement with Dashiva.

Naomi says, 'Well, I understand that for shopkeepers and stuff.'

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Or lima innkeepers just eat quimby.'

Dashiva snickers softly.

'Like if you have a healer and can stand to take a lot of damage over a short period of time for a short fight,' LadyAce says to Naomi.

Naomi says, 'But would that be better than mobs someplace else that don't do a lot of damage and are more xp?'

Kaige says to Naomi, 'It's not as boring as killing the same thing over and over.'

Naomi nods her agreement with Kaige.

'And with company it should be more interesting than solo,' Kaige says.

Rusalka says to Kaige, 'Unless you can go on automatic.'

Rusalka giggles.

LadyAce says to Naomi, 'Presumably the harder mobs should be worth more xp than the easier ones at a given level.'

'But there is so much variance from area to area,' Naomi says.

'Oooh,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

LadyAce says to Naomi, 'I personally consider ireland 'the standard'...SL, Tara, the woods.'

Rusalka raises an eyebrow inquiringly.

LadyAce says to Naomi, 'If that helps you in commenting on how hard things are relative to others.'

Naomi says, 'I was just wondering what the basis for the variation is. Is it that they are meant for groups, or just that certain builders are evil...'

Sandra says, 'Both! ;).'

'Some of it is just us trying to figure out how to do it,' Rusalka says.

Naomi tickles Sandra.

Rusalka chuckles politely.

Dashiva snickers softly.

Kae scuffles her feet around in the dirt.

Sandra giggles.

LadyAce says, 'It's more likely that areas haven't been updated or commented upon enough :).'

Rusalka says, 'It's really really hard.'

Dashiva says insanely, 'Yea.'

Rusalka says to Kae, 'Bah :).'

'I cant spam snipe rick ne more =(,' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

Dashiva bursts into tears.

Rusalka says, 'Ack.'

'Bah :),' Rusalka says to LadyAce.

Kae snickers softly.

Kae nods her agreement with Rusalka.

Rusalka chuckles politely.

Kaige says, 'Yeah.. one of the reasons I'm going through spiffing stuff up, is because I've noticed no one kills certain mobs or carries certain equipment...'

Dashiva nods solemnly.

Rusalka says, 'But it's always been that way.'

'But having to take the time to sit and figure out why, takes much longer than a quick note dropped in the feedback bin about a mob being crappy for what you get,' Kaige says.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Change is needed to grow.'

'Yeah, only so much you can do about it,' LadyAce says.

Kaige says, 'Or a mob being too tough...'

Naomi hasn't left europe in 3 levels and feels bad about that.

Rusalka nods her agreement with Dashiva.

Naomi scuffles her feet around in the dirt.

'I'm just saying that we've always had trouble with that,' Rusalka says.

Dashiva nods solemnly.

Sandra nods solemnly.

'And if you guess the wrong way, you're still in the dark and stuff is just sitting there wasting memory,' Kaige says.

Rusalka says, 'In fact, gear is much more diverse now.'

Rusalka nods her agreement with Kaige.

'Sometimes it's just a matter of density and location and habits,' LadyAce says.'

'What mob are you having alot of trouble with?' Dashiva says, looking crazed,

Kaige says, 'Yeah, but I'd personally like to change the habit of 40% of the kills being in 6% of the mud's rooms.'

Kaige chuckles politely.

'Sometimes people like certain areas just for their rp or what appeals to them,' Naomi says.

Rusalka nods her agreement with Kaige.

Sandra nods her agreement with Kaige.

Rusalka says, 'There are some wonderful areas that don't get much traffic.'

'Yea,' Sandra says.

Kae hoards Alaska and the Crusades.

Dashiva says insanely, 'There is alot of places people just dont go.'

Kae says musically, 'Mine mine mine!'

Sandra says, 'Gotta break the habits.'

Kae fences 'em in!

'Hey, I got alaska and crusades!' Fuzzey says playfully.

'I never go in the war-zones,' Naomi says. 'They just don't appeal to me personally.'

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Alaska ive gotten the pk tour in thanks to a certain marcel.'

'I think some people are complaining of boredom, because they don't know how they'd do in some places, so they don't bother,' Kaige says.

Kae grins evilly at Dashiva.. wonder what she's thinking.

Dashiva snickers softly.

Rusalka nods solemnly.

Rusalka has a good bit of exploring to do.

Kae lurks around Dashiva ominously - glad she's not after you!

Rusalka chuckles politely.

'Id like to explore that area under the water in crusades, but im to lazy to go brew a sust,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

'Take a few months off and it's all different ;),' Rusalka says to Kaige.

'Its three rooms,' Fuzzey says, with a playful tone.

Fuzzey giggles.

Dashiva shakes his head.

Kaige nods her agreement with Rusalka.

Dashiva says, looking crazed, to Fuzzey, 'There is a large area there.'

Fuzzey says playfully, 'Oooo.'

Fuzzey says, with a playful tone, 'By the weeds?'

'All in some language I dont know,' Dashiva says insanely to Fuzzey.

Rusalka says, 'Some of it is area fatigue.'

Dashiva is completely boggled.

Fuzzey says, with a playful tone, 'To the explorationmobile!'

'I can barely know a couple of areas well,' Rusalka says.

Rusalka nods solemnly.

Dashiva nods his agreement with Fuzzey.

Naomi says, 'The language is a problem with some people too.'

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Yea.'

Kae makes an issue out of knowing some areas very well.

Rusalka says to Fuzzey, 'Long term memory starts breaking down.'

'Rather than some of all of them,' Kae says, humming quietly.

Fuzzey giggles at Rusalka.

How DO people maintain those accents?

'Accents..' Chunk says, sounding depressed.

Dashiva twiddles with Chunk's hair impishly.

Ea! says, 'On our list of things to do, but not a priority.'

Chunk says, sounding quite down, 'Is it possible to code them or maybe put up a website that has scripts we can use?'

Rusalka shudders.

Ea! says, 'Oh, I see what you mean...'

'There are text filters that other people wrote, out there,' LadyAce says.

'For different clients,' LadyAce says.

Kae coughs, almost singing the words, 'Mcdougan.'

Dashiva snickers softly.

Chunk says, rather depressed, 'Could someone give me an idea where to get em?'

Chunk nods his agreement with LadyAce.

Naomi imagines a hundred McDougans--eek!

Dashiva nods his agreement with Naomi.

'Like mcdougan's or the one that the guy that was speaking backwards used,' LadyAce says.

Chunk says, sounding quite down, 'I would love to get ahold of mcdougan but i never can.'

Ea! says, 'That is, we've got character voices planned, which would work a little like moods, but be choosed at character creation and used for yells and the likes.'

'Speaking backwords?' Dashiva says insanely.

Lorenzo snickers softly.

Dashiva says insanely, 'I bet that didnt last long.'

Rusalka gets a headache just thinking about it.

'Mertjai used to talk backwords,' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

'So anyone know of scripts out there that are like mcd's stuff?' Chunk says, sounding quite down.

Moods for everyone?

'Yup,' LadyAce says.

'Yeah... we should do that,' Ea! says.

Naomi smiles happily.

'Sandra coded a new skill for eloquence,' LadyAce says.

'Eh?,' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

'Just needs to go in,' LadyAce says."

'Ooer, guess that means I should make sure eloquence is done right,' Sandra says.

Sandra giggles.

Dashiva snickers softly.

'I think we should probably offer a skill refund for eloquence when we do it tho,' LadyAce says.

Chunk says, rather depressed, 'So if anyone knows mcd or how he does his stuff gimme a tell =p.' ok. 'Mcd does it all on his own I think,' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

Naomi says to Chunk, 'Mudmail him.'

Chunk vowed to try to get it working for a friend.

LadyAce says to Dashiva, 'Nah, he uses a program.'

'Really?' Dashiva says insanely.

Chunk says, rather depressed, 'Im not on much so maybe email would work better for me..'

Sandra nods solemnly.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'No wonder he never stops using it.'

'A text filter,' LadyAce says.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Thats a way to stay in char!'

'Ugh, its annoying as hell =P,' Sandra says.'

LadyAce says to Chunk, 'Search the web on 'text filter' and 'MUD'.'

Dashiva plans out 3 diffrent voices.

'Maybe a simple search for a text filter on the web would help me then?' Chunk says, sounding quite down.

Dashiva glances at Sandra and begins to twitch nervously.

Rusalka thinks that accents are less important.

Chunk nods solemnly.

Rusalka shrugs helplessly.

'Yeah but it's a pain to translate out of bug reports,' Kaige says.

Dashiva laughs with amusement.

Chunk says, sounding depressed, 'If i get any good ones is it ok to give the site to yall so others can use em?' dumb fighter types are getting bad that way too

Kaige says, 'All these big dumb fighter types are getting bad that way too.'

'Post it on news, that'd be cool,' LadyAce says to Chunk.

Dashiva snickers softly.

Chunk nods solemnly.

'Aaaarrgh started a trend,' Dashiva says insanely.

Lorenzo rolls his eyes heavenward.

Ea! says to Kaige, 'Yeah, there was one that I wouldn't have been able to understand if Cheyla hadn't translated it.' Kaige chuckles politely.

'Strunk and white say "do not attempt to use dialect unless you are a devoted student of the tongue you hope to reproduce."' Naomi quotes.

Lorenzo says, 'It's all the "babies" that are bugging me.'

Chunk says, rather depressed, 'As you all know i have much time on my hands and looking for neat things like that to improve some rp im up for.'

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Yes.'

Rusalka nods her agreement with Naomi.

Naomi glares icily at Lorenzo.

Lorenzo chuckles politely.

LadyAce giggles at Lorenzo.

'A baby boom so to speak,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

Dashiva begins to twitch nervously.

'We could use more people who've read Strunk and White,' Ea! says to Naomi.

Chunk says, rather depressed, 'And maybe a few things that will bring me completely back to being here like the past.'

Chunk flops about helplessly.

LadyAce says, 'I think the 'I talk like a baby but I RP like I'm 16' is irritating :P.'

Naomi giggles at Ea!.

Chunk snickers at LadyAce nastily.

Dashiva snickers softly.

'But then again that's irritating irl too :),' LadyAce says.

Kae ignores everything, lost in her own little world.

Rusalka thinks, 'of course i try to use middle english spelling for one char, so i shoudlt' talk :P'

Rusalka nods her agreement with Kae.

Kae lives in her own little world.

'No, the thing is, it seems like the IC ages are much older than 2-4 years,' Lorenzo says.

Dashiva nods solemnly.

LadyAce nods her agreement with Lorenzo.

Naomi says, 'While I rp a baby but talk like I'm 16?'

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Or.'

'I see seven year old talkers that rp like 20,' Rusalka says.

Rusalka shrugs helplessly.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'People who dont RP who knock on others makes me want to go on a pk rampage.'

Rusalka giggles at Dashiva.

'Pk has never solved anything =p,' Chunk says, sounding depressed, to Dashiva.

Kae lurks around Dashiva ominously - glad she's not after you!

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, to Chunk, 'It is the om.'

Dashiva says, looking crazed, to Chunk, 'The vedas.'

'It is everything,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little, to Chunk.

'It is the brahman and the atman, the self and the all!' Kae says, almost singing the words, to Dashiva.

'Umm.. it solved Kiera getting blood on Dusty's sweater,' Kaige says.

Kaige giggles.

Dashiva nods his agreement with Kae.

Rusalka giggles at Kaige.

Chunk snickers softly.

Sandra giggles.

'It solved the stolen Sweet Nothings,' Rusalka says to Kaige.

'Sorry, I'm not trying to knock anyone,' Lorenzo says to Dashiva. 'It just seems like there are two characters being played at once.'

Rusalka giggles.

'Being able to steal has gotten me into interesting situations that probably wouldn't have happened without that ability,' Kaige says.

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Without pk id dress a mob up like craven and dance around it.'

Sandra nods her agreement with Kaige.

Sandra too.

'I agree that people should be consistent, but don't underestimate the difficulty,' LadyAce says to Lorenzo.

'I hope you're not talking about me,' Naomi says to Lorenzo.

Rusalka chuckles politely.

Sandra says, 'And boy is it difficult!'

Rusalka nods her agreement with Sandra.

Kae couldn't play a kid if she tried.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Heh.'

Kae's way too much of a smartass.

Rusalka plays erudite children

Kaige always hates the "So where you from?" questions.

Rusalka giggles.

Sandra giggles.

'And what's your level?' Rusalka says to Kaige.

'Especially when they don't take the mud hometown as an answer,' Kaige says.

Sandra says, 'I drive myself nuts with mine.'

'You could also enjoy the facinating tension between how we perceive youth and how we represent it,' LadyAce says to Lorenzo.

Rusalka giggles at Sandra.

Kae whispers, barely audible, to Kaige, 'U wanna cyber with me?'

'I remember you from Halloween, but I don't specifically have a problem with you,' Lorenzo says to Naomi.

Kae winks suggestively at Kaige.

Dashiva snickers at Kae nastily.

Lorenzo smiles at Naomi.

Kae says, humming quietly, to Kaige, 'THAT is bad.'

Dashiva licks Kae.

Kaige goes EEK! at Kae in distress.

LadyAce says to Lorenzo, 'Pretend these "children" are facinating freudian experiments.'

Naomi smiles at Lorenzo.

'THAT is a bad question!' Kae says, almost singing the words.

Dashiva says insanely to Kae, 'How come you dont say that to me?'

Dashiva cries on Kae's shoulder.I've been playing male chars l ately

Kaige says to Kae, 'At least I haven't gotten that one.. but I've been playing male chars lately.'

'Then's the question of innocence and memory,' Rusalka says to LadyAce.

'Well, um, you're not KAige!' Kae says, almost singing the words, to Dashiva.

'Oof,' Dashiva says insanely.

Conspiracy says, 'Oh, I have a question.'

Chunk tells you, 'but please please do get back to me when your free ok?'

Sandra laughs with amusement. Dashiva mourns his own inadequacies - you feel sorry for him.

Conspiracy raises his hand.

Kae says, almost singing the words, to Kaige, 'I get it on my male character.'

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Man Im scared when you all discuss alts.'

Dashiva peers around the room intently.

Rusalka pats Dashiva on the head.

'Never know who they are,' Dashiva says insanely.

Lorenzo nods his agreement with Dashiva.

Kae taunts Dashiva mercilessly.

LadyAce says to Conspiracy, 'Okie, ask away.'

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Kaige could be the guy I multi'd'

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'That would be bad.'

Kaige shakes her head.

Kunnar snickers softly.

'Good,' Naomi says to Dashiva. 'It's better not to know.'

Kaige doesn't have a pkiller currently.

'She wouldn't hold it against you,' LadyAce says to Dashiva.

Dashiva nods solemnly.

'No, Kaige would be the guy who multi'd you,' Kae says, almost singing the words, to Dashiva.

Kae ducks to the ground.

Lorenzo says, 'I don't want to ask about people's alts, and I don't want to tell. :).'

Dashiva grins evilly at Kae.. wonder what he's thinking...

Rusalka smiles at Lorenzo.

Naomi nods her agreement with Lorenzo.

Lorenzo says, 'But that gives me away when I talk to people.'

Balance & DEXMud

'Yeah, good guess!' Ea! says to Conspiracy. 'It's 100% intentional!'

'Sorry,' Ea! says. 'Couldn't resist.'

Dashiva snickers softly.

Ea! says, 'Ditto.'

LadyAce says to Conspiracy, 'There's a package of balance fixes in the works.'

'No, it's not intentional, and, yes, we are working on it,' Ea! says.

Ea! says, 'But as I've said many times before balance isn't the number one priority of the coding staff.'

Conspiracy says to Ea!, 'See, that was easy :p.'

Bonk says, 'What is ?'

LadyAce says to Conspiracy, 'Just as easy to ask politely :P.'

Ea! says, 'Next time I'll just give the URL to the last few Q & As.'

'How was what I asked unpolite?' Conspiracy says to LadyAce.

Conspiracy looks up into the sky and ponders.

Dashiva beams at Rusalka delightedly.

LadyAce says to Conspiracy, 'Just had an ugly tone.'

LadyAce shrugs helplessly.

''cept since I don't keep a web browser up it'd take longer to find that than just to answer,' Ea! says.

Rusalka chuckles politely.

Lorenzo says to Conspiracy, 'Well, it was loaded with the answer you that was rude and sarcastic when you asked.'

'Not on purpose,' Conspiracy says to LadyAce.

Conspiracy says, 'Ok, now I'm mad.'

Conspiracy says, 'How the fuck was anything I said rude in any way, explain.'

Ea! says to Conspiracy, 'Did you honestly think that we were trying to "go back to dex mud"?'

Sandra says, 'Well, there's a good way to NOT get a response.'

Naomi says to Conspiracy, 'I think they're just really tired of that complaint.'

'I think you've been here long enough to know our goal is a playably balanced games for a wide variety of char types,' LadyAce says. 'To pretend otherwise is disengenous.'

'It seemed like an accusing question -- out to make the point that dex is over powered rather than to ask a question,' Ea! says.

Dashiva nods solemnly.

'Yank the gauche!' Bonk says.

'I thought maybe you were trying to make dex more important for con and str mages, perhaps,' Conspiracy says to Ea!. 'Is that completely crazy of me to think?'

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Then take the yarrow amulet, nuck shield, and polished scale to!'

'Make stoneskin only last a few hits!' Bonk says.

Ea! says, 'Okay, perhaps I was just being overly sensitive since I've had to discuss it a lot at the last few Q & As.'

Ea! says, 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be short in my answer.'

Ea! says, 'Or, rather, I did mean to be short, but I shouldn't have been.'

Conspiracy says to Ea!, 'I'm in another country, I don't make it to alot of Q&A's anymore.'

Bonk says, 'Has anything been decided on about the old hit/dam eq?'08:15

LadyAce says to Bonk, 'Far as I know, no one is discussing any changes.'

Compression & Mud Clients

'If your client supports it, could make mudding 2x faster,' LadyAce says to Ganymede.

'Whats compression?' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

Ganymede says to LadyAce, 'Well zmud does, but the question is, will the added speed make up for all the times zmud crashes?'

'I'd think at most 80% faster, but I'd be suprised if it was actually that high,' Ea! says to LadyAce. 'Probably closer to 50%.'

Ganymede chuckles politely.

'There's a patch?' Lorenzo says to Kaige.

'2x faster mudding?' Dashiva says insanely.

Dashiva gasps in astonishment.

Conspiracy says to Ganymede, 'Zmud crashes?'

Ea! says to Lorenzo, 'It should be on the web page on the welcome board.'

Conspiracy looks at Ganymede, boggled.

'Dont tease me,' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

'Compression is to make small, right?' LadyAce says. 'So that means the packets of data are littler as they go back and forth.'

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'What client?'

Ganymede says to Conspiracy, 'Nahhh.'

'This is the new zmud?' Rusalka says.

'Less lag,' Ea! says.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Only for the new zmud?'

Conspiracy has 5.55 or something.

'Or any client?' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

'I'm rarely lagged,' Naomi says. 'Only when the rest of the mud is too.'

LadyAce says, 'Like using winzip on your chat before you send it or whatever.'

'For tinyfugue to use the compression stuff that Snapper put in.. look at the web page listed there.. it's going to be included in the forthcoming 5.0 for tf tho,' Kaige says.

Ganymede nods his agreement with Conspiracy.

Kaige has no clue when that'll be tho..

Kaige says, 'www.abandoned.org/nemon/compress has the info on it.'

Lorenzo nods solemnly.

'Is tf free?' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Is it good?'

Sandra nods her agreement with Dashiva.

Dashiva looks up into the sky and ponders.

'Is it for linux?' Sandra says.

'And it compresses?' Dashiva says, looking crazed.in.

Sandra nods to herself - she must be getting senile.

'Oh, yes,' Lorenzo says to Dashiva.

Kaige says, 'I like it better than tintin... it actually has tintin included in it.'

Dashiva thinks he needs to try it.

Ea! thinks, 'the mail-in votes are a pretty good idea.'

Kaige doesn't use HALF it's capabilities.. just the split screen one.

'Where can I snag it,' Dashiva says insanely.

Sandra uses alot, then forgets she's using them and breaks it.

Lorenzo says, 'I'm trying to get a perl interpreter into it.... but I haven't worked on that in a while.'

Lorenzo chuckles politely.

Dashiva says insanely to Lorenzo, 'Where can I get tf?'

Bonk says, 'How weird.. i always thought networking protocols used compression, so all them web pages are just chewing up bandwidth unneccesarily.'

'Nope, they don't,' Ea! says to Bonk. 'Compression eats up cpu.'

'ftp laurel.actlab.utexas.edu/pub/tf or tinyfugue I can't recall,' Kaige says.

'Ack,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

'Though for what it's worth, most web ../images are jpegs, which include compression already,' Ea! says.

Bonk says, 'Mmm.'

'Compression is bad for you?' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

Ea! says, 'So they don't compress much.'

Naomi says, 'I still don't understand, but my client doesn't support it anyway.'

Naomi squeezes Dashiva fondly.

'Ooh,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Nm.'

'Old compression tho, isn't it?' LadyAce says. 'LZW compression is an old algorithm, and I'm pretty sure that's what jpegs use.'

'No, compression is good for you,' Ea! says. 'It's just that computers were tons slower when they designed the protocols, so compression wasn't built in.'

Dashiva nods solemnly.

Dashiva says insanely, 'Ok ill go look for tf and check it out then.'

Ea! says, 'Well, jpegs use a lossy compression.'

'It also shouldn't be assumed at protocol level, of course, and it's bad for high-volume routers. :),' Lorenzo says to Ea!.

Ea! says, 'Also, for wierd technical reasons, most data is sent in small packets -- like 1500 bits or so, and compression doesn't work well on small volumes of data...'

'Makes the html standard even more ridiculous..' Bonk says.

Imms & Strings from Mortals

'Where are me strings!' Dun says to LadyAce.

Dun whines.

Dun grumbles to LadyAce.

Dun gets her eq!

'I still have them, if you want 'em back,' LadyAce says to Dun.

Dun shakes his head.

Dun says, 'Why arent you wearing em :(.'

LadyAce says to Dun, 'People felt it showed favoritism.'

Dun snorts derisively.

Sandra took all of hers off too.

'Thast gay,' Dun says.

Dun says to Sandra, 'You had the coolest strings.'

'Well, I don't need the hassle of people thinking we play favourites because someone's name is on an item we wear,' Sandra says.

Dun growls.

Dashiva says insanely, 'Hm.'

'Tell em to eat my shorts,' Dun says.

'I think it's good that people feel imms are approachable,' Kaige says.

'It's no hassle, just shoot the freaks!' Bonk says.

'God,' Dun says.

Dun says, 'That is so god damn stupid.'

Dashiva shrugs helplessly.

Sandra has a cool weapon string though.

Sandra raises a weapon high in the air above her head.

'Whatever, thats dumb,' Dun says. 'You should just ignore them.'

'Mabye not, if you threatend to kill me ooc and someone had "I love dun" on them, I wouldnt approache them,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

'Give me a god damn break,' Dun says.

'It's not that big a deal, jeez,' Ganymede says.

'It said "a necklace from dun"' Dun says.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'Im using you as a example.'

Dun says, 'Sandras were like.'

'Since your here,' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

Dun says, 'A pikachu from zenith.'

Dun says, 'A chain from terrorspawn.'

'Im just saying, some people felt that they couldnt do it,' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

Dashiva shrugs helplessly.

'And im disproviing your example,' Dun says to Dashiva.

'Well its your opinion,' Dashiva says, looking crazed, to Dun.

Bonk says, 'So they were wearing a list of ppl who suck up.'

Bonk throws his head back and cackles with insane glee!

Naomi giggles at Bonk.

Sandra gets a tiny TerrorSpawn on a blackened leather thong from a bottomless pit.

Dun jumps up and down.

Dun says, 'Wear it!'

Dun urges you!

Sandra shakes her head.

LadyAce says, 'I personally didn't take it seriously regardless.'

Sandra puts a tiny TerrorSpawn on a blackened leather thong in a bottomless pit.

Ea! says to Dun, 'The Imm Code of Conduct basically says that we need to play this sort of thing carefully...'

'But if other people do, I don't have much choice,' LadyAce says. 'Particularly when my boss says so :P.'

'How long did you wear those strings,' Dun says to Sandra.

Sandra says, '3 years or so.'

'Oh,' Dun says.

'Good point,' Dun says.

Dun rolls his eyes heavenward.

LadyAce hugs Sandra.

'If anyone gave an immortal a string and they had room, they would probably wear it,' Dun says to Kaige. 'It isnt favoritism.'

'But some people may see it that way,' Naomi says to Dun.

Sandra nods her agreement with Naomi.

'4) minor: Dun received a minor from LadyAce if I was "that special" she wouldnt have given me a warning,' Dun says.

'Not everyone understands that,' Dashiva says, looking crazed, to Dun.

'What concerns me is when people don't feel comfortable talking to said imm because they don't trust their objectivity ,' Kaige says to Dun.

'People don't see your warnings, they see her strings,' Ganymede says to Dun. 'They can you know what,' Dun says.

Dashiva rolls his eyes heavenward.

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, 'If it really was a problem post a welcome and wear all your strings.'

'Well, lets just drop it =) Kaige is right, if it causes people to feel they can't approach imms, then its a problem,' Sandra says.

Kaige says, 'Like I said, I care when people are unwilling to approach imms abou;t problems they have with the mud.'

'Whens the next area going in?' Zemus says.

Sandra says, 'When the next one is done ;) That's about the best eta i can give.'

'So within a month?' Zemus says.

LadyAce says to Zemus, 'None are really close to the end of testing, check the builder board for a list of areas in progress.'

'What LA said,' Sandra says to Zemus.

Zemus nods solemnly.

Is str damage fixed yet?

'See welcome board for all code changes,' LadyAce says to Zemus. 'A set of balance fixes are still in the works.'

'So thats a no :P,' Zemus says.

Item Specs & Suggesting Items

'There's a document we go by,' LadyAce says.

LadyAce says, 'Determined by the head builder.'

'?' Dashiva says, looking crazed, to LadyAce.

Zemus says, 'Ok.'

'A set of rules and formulas,' LadyAce says.

Dun says, 'So the black shoe is IN spec?'

'Is it possible to give you ideas for items and stuff?' Zemus says.

'With current specs, yea,' Sandra says to Dun.

'You can always put your item ideas on the idea channel,' Sandra says to Zemus.

Dashiva nods solemnly.

Bonk says, 'The specs are outa spec.'

Zemus says, 'Can I get a copy of the rules and stuff so I can make item ideas in spec.'

'Feel free to suggest ideas for stuff...' Kaige says to Zemus.

LadyAce says, 'I think there's a copy still on the ftp site.'

'They're way out of date, but feel free to make your suggestions anyway,' Sandra says.

'Yeah but I would like to make ideas and stuff that aren't out of spec,' Zemus says.

LadyAce says, 'But you should suggest items you think sound fair and in spec, don't worry about our rules as we'll modify your idea to suit.'

Sandra nods her agreement with LadyAce.

LadyAce says, 'Think of it this way, if you suggest a +6 str item and our max is 5, it's not like we'll ignore you.'

Zemus says, 'Well there are some weapons and items that seem WAY out of spec, and others that dont.'

'Like what?' Dashiva says insanely.

'If we had a 6 str item with no minus' it'd be outa the game already heh :P,' Dun says.

Dashiva nods his agreement with Dun.

Zemus says, 'Skull staff to katar figure that one out.'

Zemus says, 'I cant.'

LadyAce says, 'Usually the virtue of a suggestion is in its combination -- stat and slot, material, etc.'

Sandra shakes her head.

Sandra says, 'They're both in spec.'

Dun says to Zemus, 'Its no use :P.'

LadyAce says, 'Some weapons are tougher than others, but the spec doesn't take every last thing into account.'

'Yeah that's what I mean both in spec but I cant see how so I wanna know how they are so when I think of gear it fits specs,' Zemus says.

Zemus says, 'Skull staff is much harder to get than katar yet not even close to as usefull as katar but im not gonna get into that.'

Sandra says, 'Well, its more useful to a con char with no dex.'

'Whats the ftp site?' Zemus says.

Kaige can make the katar harder to get.

An aura of heavenly light appears above your head.

Sandra grins evilly at Kaige - uh oh!

Dun nods his agreement with Kaige.

Dun says, 'Do it then.'

LadyAce says, 'Ftp://mud.legendmud.org.'

'You should,' Zemus says to Kaige.

Dun says, 'Weapon is annoynig as hell.'

Zemus nods his agreement with LadyAce.

'Ftp.legendmud.org,' Ea! says to LadyAce.

Zemus says, 'Make it the PD quest or something.'

LadyAce says to Ea!, 'Either would work :P.'

Kaige says, 'Actually, he should be doing a few things better this week, and he'll be even better tomorroow.'

Dashiva laughs with amusement.

Bonk says, 'Or you could get rid of the special and just make it a low rent +5 stat 8kg weapon.'

Dun says to Kaige, 'Cool.'

'His hunts were a little buggy but they should be right now,' Kaige says.

Dashiva could solo him with a headbutter.

Dun nods his agreement with Bonk.

Zemus nods solemnly. Zemus says, 'Hes a easy guy.'

Dashiva says, gibbering a little, to Dun, 'My point is he is easy.'.

'Stick it PD west or something,' Zemus says.

Kaige says, 'Oh there's an evil idea...'

Kaige grins evilly.

'And make it cursed like the jewelled saber so it scraps sometimes,' Zemus says.

Bonk says, 'Screw all group eq.'

'Lemme ask something,' Sandra says.

'No the idea was to have some of the thieves in the town assist him in various ways,' Kaige says.

Dashiva says insanely, 'Ouch.' Sandra says, 'Is this simply because you're too lazy to get things to cure the poison? ;).'

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Watch him run to the thief captain.'

'But the mobs in that town are wimps,' Zemus says.

'No, you can only carry so many,' Dun says to Sandra.

Zemus says, 'Nahh no rent.'

'Well, make rent,' Sandra says.

Sandra shrugs helplessly.

'Not just fighting.. but like waking him from stuns,' Kaige says to Zemus.

Dun laughs with amusement.

'Lets see 50263 rent,' Zemus says.

Zemus looks up into the sky and ponders.

Sandra says, 'What will you do when someone comes at you with a star sword?'

'I think he needs to work like the inuit cheif where he calls big mobs to aid him,' Zemus says.

Dun says, 'Sink ?:P.'

Sandra says, 'Complain that blinding flash is too powerful? ;).'

Dashiva snickers softly.

'Prolly,' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

Dun says, 'Who the HECK would use a starsword in pk :P.'

'Name,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

'When I see someone come at me with a star sword,' Zemus says.

'That is so stupid,' Dun says.

Zemus says, 'And magic sink works well on that.'

'I go to a room with small mobs,' Dun says.

'Or big mobs,' Dun says.

'Major poison is no sink,' Zemus says.

'There are things that you can use to counter the spells, is my point,' Sandra says. 'Use them. If you can't, because you're trying to use everything at once, then you should reprioritize things.'

'And very nasty,' Zemus says.

'The poison isnt like a spell (flash etc),' Dashiva says, looking crazed.

Zemus says, 'When I burn 100mana to stop a wepon special is nuts.'

'Its on the blade with pentrates skin,' Dashiva says, gibbering a little.

Dashiva says, looking crazed, 'Which even.'

Sandra says, 'Boy are you all gonna be grumpy when more poisons come in ;).'

'Honestly Sandra have you fought a good sniper with a katar?' Zemus says.

Dashiva likes poison.

Sandra says, 'Sure.'

Dashiva points proudly at himself.

'I cant remeber seeing your alts fighting,' Zemus says.

'Well, if you know all 31 of my alts, then you're better than me ;),' Sandra says.

'That weapon is soooooooooo nasty, its like old blinders,' Zemus says.

'And they're all dex!' Dun says. ':P.'

Sandra says to Dun, 'Actually only about 8 are.'

'If you know all my 20alts your better than me,' Zemus says.

'Okie, I think we're all done here :) thanks for coming,' LadyAce says.

LadyAce gives a big hug to everyone in the room.

LadyAce smiles happily.

LadyAce waves happily.
