Spanish-Flea says, 'and other things, like disabling steal on AA --basically--
giving players a way to PK without consequences as a way to increase activity'
DoC nods solemnly.
Spanish-Flea says, 'i want more specifics, or are they all still generalizations 
at this point?'

you care?'

DoC says, 'kinda yeah'
Spanish-Flea slaps DoC.
DoC says, 'because i think it wont atract people'
DoC says, 'only screw pk'
Jesus says to DoC, 'Not really. who truly loots anything?'
Ransom does not like stealing anyway.
Spanish-Flea says, 'i think if you threw away steal on AA and reduced death xp 
even further, you'd see a lot of new faces'
Ransom nods to himself.
DoC says, 'looting is enforcement if there were people'
Huma says, 'well, the penalty to dying is pretty low already'

minutes and then get your stuff'

Huma says, 'so other questions?' Crickets chirp in the distance. Jesus says, 'sure, when will 2c create get something that makes them worth pk'ing with.' Spanish-Flea jumps in the air and slams a thunderous high-5 with Jesus! DoC snickers softly. Huma says, 'uh... I dunno :)' Spanish-Flea says to Jesus, 'thank you, thank you, thank you.' DoC says, '2c create will always suck without roots:P' Lorenzo peers around intently. DoC chuckles politely. Jesus says, 'yay, 2c create questions even make the mud crash.' Huma says, 'half of us lost link' DoC rolls around on the ground with laughter. Ransom says, 'I start making a comment about PK and get booted.. I see how it is.. a copnspiracy' Huma says, 'well post whats wrong with'em' Ransom says, 'conspiracy too' Ransom nods to himself. Huma nods his agreement with Ransom. Huma says, 'it is' DoC snickers softly. Huma says, 'I hit mudhang 2' DoC rests on a black leather couch. Huma says, 'just to avoid the question' Jesus says to Huma, 'No one will listen because they're SO powerful in mobkill, which iss true.' Huma nods his agreement with Jesus. Ransom says, 'The 2c one?' Huma says, 'well, I think they will' Jesus nods his agreement with Ransom. Huma says, 'if you post it' Jesus says to Huma, 'Doubtful.' Huma sniffs sadly. Huma says, 'you doubt me?' Huma bursts into tears. Jesus nods his agreement with Huma. Ransom says, 'When will straight fighters hit harder than surgeons and mages' Ransom ducks to the ground. Ransom chuckles politely. DoC says, 'try it first:P' Jesus rolls his eyes, exasperated with Ransom. DoC says, 'straight hitter do' Huma says, 'dont doubt me yet' DoC says, 'iron will straight hitters own me' Jesus says to Huma, 'I'll believe it when i see it.' Huma says, 'I tend to annoy other imms by jumping on one subject and not letting it go' Spanish-Flea says to Ransom, 'remember the good old days where if you just single attack decimated you were considered run hitting material>? :P' Huma says to Jesus, 'Give me ammo! And I'll use it.' Jesus says to Huma, 'For the record, i've not won a single fight since i was 35.' DoC snickers softly. Spanish-Flea says to Huma, 'dude, you want ammo about how much creates blow at PK?' Huma says to Jesus, 'Well then people just say oh he sucks =P' Somar says, 'blah, back on raw telnet cuz zmud seems unhappy with me' Jesus says to Huma, 'That's probably true.' Huma says, 'I need like... reasons =P' Spanish-Flea says to Huma, 'you're the imms here, get ladyace to teach you how to open up a testport, and start screwing around with 2c create chars vs everything.' Jesus says to Huma, 'Stun is the only thing worth using.' Huginn says, 'what's the question?' Huma rolls his eyes, exasperated with Spanish-Flea. Jesus says to Huma, 'Which is severely gimped.' Huma says, 'yeah, someone brought stun up the other day' Huma says, 'is there a question though? :)' Jesus says, 'and useless against a level 2 50 mind sink, even at 65 mind.' Jesus says to Huma, 'I've been fucking posting about it for a month.' Spanish-Flea says to Jesus, 'i've been saying it for months :p' Jesus nods his agreement with Spanish-Flea. Huginn says, 'that stun is useless?' DoC says, '50 mind stun PWsucks:P' LadyAce says, 'what I'm hearing is a request to make 2c create viable in pk. The question is, do we have a plan to make them viable in pk.' Spanish-Flea says, 'roots' LadyAce says, 'to summarize :)' Jesus says, '65 mind stun gets sunk every time.' Spanish-Flea says, 'or a killer damage spell' Huginn says, 'when did you learn stun?' Spanish-Flea says, 'some sort of spell based response?' Jesus shrugs helplessly. Jesus says, 'prolly around 10 or so.' Huginn says, 'then it shouldn't be sunk every time' Jesus says to Huginn, 'I agree.' Huma says, 'but really, 65 mind isnt like woah the greatest or anything' Jesus says, 'it's 15 better than 50.' DoC says, 'even 80 mind on a 3c isnt that great' Huginn says, 'some should get through, some should be sunk' Jesus says, 'for the love of GOD' Huma nods solemnly. Huma nods his agreement with Huginn. Jesus says, 'what part of this do you not get?' Jesus says, '50 mind backlashes on 25 mind.' Huginn says, 'as for the killer damage spell, no not going to happen..' Huginn says to Jesus, 'Yes sometimes.' Huma says, '50 mind is not like a ton of mind... neither is 65.. not really' DoC says, 'me and huggy used to have epic cause battles:P' Huginn says, 'I've seen 100 mind backlash on 25 mind' Jesus says, 'that's 100% more mind.' Huginn says, 'and you can still fail' Huma says, 'a 50 con headbutt will miss on a 25 con person sometimes' Chaykin waves hello to the world! DoC tips his hat to Chaykin. Jesus says, 'ok, so go make a 2c create pk'er, huginn. get off of con create for 2 minutes.' Huginn waves a welcome to Chaykin. Hello! Jesus says, 'con cause.' Jesus says, 'rather.' Huginn laughs. Ransom jumps in the air and slams a thunderous high-5 with Chaykin! Spanish-Flea laughs. DoC says, 'i hate con:P' Jesus says, 'i'll just shut up before i get in trouble.' Huginn says, 'we can look at the 2c creates' Jesus says, 'next!' Huma chuckles politely. Spanish-Flea says, 'huma, this is where you intervene and say 'no personal attacks' blah blah blah' DoC snickers softly. Huginn says, 'but an awesome damage spell isn't likley' Jesus says to Huginn, 'You can, but you won't because of the mobkill aspect.' Huma says, 'well people should know there'll be no personal attacks, I hope I dont have to say it :)' Jesus says to Huginn, 'I'm asking for something useful.' DoC says, 'he stopped himself anyways:P' Huginn says, 'well for one thing' Spanish-Flea says, 'yes, 2c creates can mobkill, but grouped or in PK, they just cant compare to cause mages' Huginn says, 'where do you think that'd leave 3c creates?' Jesus says to Huginn, 'Like, jerk out the target command.' DoC comforts Somar. Spanish-Flea laughs at Jesus. Huginn says, 'actually its harder to target from a charmie' Spanish-Flea says, 'hmm actually what you could do is make doppels more useful in PK' Jesus says to Huginn, 'Sure, that sounds logical.' Ransom says, 'I did not have much trouble' Jesus says to Huginn, 'I've yet to see someone fail.' Spanish-Flea says to Jesus, 'you dont see the retargetting message?' Huginn says, 'well bug that and we'll look at the formula' Jesus says, 'i don't even want a damage spell.' Jesus says, 'just give me something that compares in a minor way to str/bless.' Jesus gasps in astonishment. Jesus says, 'stats.' Spanish-Flea laughs. Huginn nods solemnly. Huma nods solemnly. Spanish-Flea says, 'oh my god, giving 2c creates other stats, i may point out, would give 2c creates druids extra stats--and they dont need any :P' Huma nods solemnly. Ransom nods solemnly. Jesus says, 'make it to where if you have any 2c word, you don't get the spell, i don't care.' Huginn says, 'I've been thinking about stuff like that, as have others..' Jesus says, 'or 3c.' Jesus says, 'i mean.' Spanish-Flea says, 'a no augment spell might be cool' Jesus says, 'i'm basically a fighter with wasted stats that can't get iron will. in pkill.' Ransom says, 'or an item that oppresses chanting' An aura of heavenly light appears above Ransom's head. Huma grins evilly at Ransom... Wonder what he's thinking... Ransom thinks that has been idea'd a time or two. An aura of heavenly light appears above Ransom's head. Ransom whistles appreciatively. Huma says, 'ok questions?'

______

DoC says, 'hmm any areas near done?' DoC says, 'new ones i mean' Ransom nods his agreement with DoC. Ransom says, 'Like Tombstone?' Huma says, 'naw not right now, most of the ones around are in pre-alpha' Huma says, 'no, Tombstone is in a building stage still' DoC nods solemnly. LadyAce says, 'my guess is that the next area to go in will either be SL2 or Tartarus' Jesus says, 'anyway, sorry if i seem nasty. i'm just hella annoyed.' Ransom nods solemnly. Jesus shrugs helplessly. Chaykin cheers for Lenore - huzzah! Huma says, 'yeah, so, questions? :)' Somar says, 'oooh.. there's a large group of people, and things are peaceful ..' Somar conjures a canister of tear gas :-( out of midair and throws it at Jesus! Huma begins to twitch nervously. DoC throws his head back and cackles gleefully! Huma says, 'so any questions?' Huma says, 'any questions about area updates' Spanish-Flea raises his hand.

______

Huma says, 'whatsup SF' Huma pokes Spanish-Flea with Kryptonite. Spanish-Flea says, 'when was the last LT published?' Huma says, 'uh... 29th?' Huma says, 'new one will be out this weekend' Huma says, 'friday or saturday' LadyAce says, 'or sunday or monday. pretty soon. probably.' LadyAce winks suggestively at Huma. Huma grumbles to LadyAce. Chaykin comforts Huma. Huma says, 'I try my hardest =P' Huma says, 'send me more stuff to put in it!' Ransom says, 'I might just have to do that' Ransom grins evilly. LadyAce says to Huginn, 'Did part of your post get cut off?' Huginn shakes his head in disagreement with LadyAce. Huginn says, 'no typos' Ransom cracks his fingers. LadyAce says, 'oh okie' Spanish-Flea says, 'oh no! headshots reduced! i gotta go kill gho at lest 6 times in the next 24 housr!' Huginn says, 'I usually include each catagory even if its blank' Jesus says to Spanish-Flea, 'That shouldn't be hard.' LadyAce nods solemnly. DoC says, 'afk a sec peeeein!' Somar says to DoC, 'Thanks for the warning.' Huma says, 'so anyway, more questions about anything?' Spanish-Flea says to Somar, 'dont shake his hand when he comes back! it'll be sticky!' Spanish-Flea says, 'ummmm' Somar goes ACK TTTHHHHHPPPPPTTTTT! all over Spanish-Flea - what a mess! Spanish-Flea raises his hand.

______

Huma says, 'go ahead SF' Spanish-Flea says, 'so, about letting low levels on runs' Spanish-Flea says, 'can you put a lower limit on AT?' Spanish-Flea says, 'like, 30, or something?' Huma says, 'I am guessing not, sorry' Jesus says, 'there's a limit on AT?' DoC says, 'back in action' Chaykin says, 'nope' Huma says, 'I didnt think so' Jesus looks at Spanish-Flea, boggled. Huma says, 'l' Chaykin says, 'he meant lower limit as in a limit on the lowest level you can bring' Huma blinks. Chaykin says, 'which currently doesn't exist' Huma says, 'oh you mean put a limit back in?' Spanish-Flea says, 'well then, i think i remember sandra bear and roofies saying something about the level limits (albeit 'pseudo-slaying-level-limit) on AT only being experimental?' Huma says, 'oh the pseudo-slaying-level-limit' Spanish-Flea says, 'blah, nto AT' Spanish-Flea says, 'all runs' LadyAce says, 'oh' Huginn says, 'you mean sl and pd' Jesus says, 'ahh' Spanish-Flea says, 'the slaying was in reference to SL' Spanish-Flea says, 'no, ok, lemme explain' Huginn waits patiently. Spanish-Flea says, 'you misunderstood me when I asked if you could put a lower limit on levels allowed in AT' Spanish-Flea says, 'and said NO' Spanish-Flea says, 'so then I asked if you could lower the lower level limit on other runs, as I recall sandra and rufus saying it was just a little experiment about group dynamics?' Spanish-Flea says, 'or was that catge' Spanish-Flea says, 'cage, blah' Sana raises her hand. Jesus licks Sana. Somar says to Sana, 'You're out of your element, Donnie.' DoC says, 'sana!' DoC slaps Sana. Huma says, 'yeah I think those were found to be acceptable level limits' Sana chortles with amusement. Spanish-Flea says, 'booo' Spanish-Flea says, 'that is all' Huma says, 'ok' Huma says, 'wherps there goes Sana' DoC snickers softly. Spanish-Flea says, 'his question probably related to chaykin being a tool' DoC says, 'came on long enough to look board and laugh' Chaykin giggles at Spanish-Flea. Sasha waves hello to the world! Somar knocks Sasha over and flops all over her. Chaykin says to Spanish-Flea, 'I love that joke!' LadyAce blinks at Sasha. Spanish-Flea says to Chaykin, 'yes....joke.' Somar says to Sasha, 'You're going to have to bling out that poof for a little bit.' Chaykin nods his agreement with Spanish-Flea. Spanish-Flea raises his hand. Huma says, 'whatsup SF' Spanish-Flea says, 'based on evidence just presented, is sasha not a screamer?' Jesus laughs. Huma laughs. Huma says, 'Sasha will have to field that one' Huma says, 'she says she has to change her poof in' Huma says, 'so I dont know what kind of answer that is =P' Huma says, 'maybe its denial or something' Sasha says, 'um, someting' Somar says, 'I recommend dubs and ice heavily exhibited in the poofin.' Somar says to Sasha, 'There's a new opening for a Ron Artest poof since I changed mine.' Huma says, 'so any other questions?' Huma nods solemnly. Huma says, 'we can be done if there are no more questions' Somar says, 'and an icpali chair' Huma pets an icpali chair lovingly. Huma says, 'any questions any at all?' Jesus looks up into the sky and ponders. Huma says, 'or am I gonna be forced to go back to basement and rip out drywall' Sasha blinks at Huma. Huma says, 'ok I am gonna end this think' Huginn looks at his watch. Huma says, 'I think this is over' Kryptonite thuds as Huma attempts to bounce it - what a klutz. Huma says, 'ok Meeting Adjourned!'
