Huma says, 'ok gimme your questions you crazy crazy morts'

Shivan says, ':P'

LadyAce says, 'and make it clang little cymbals while you play the hurdy gurdy?'

Chaykin says to Shivan, 'That's WHY I want one.'

Huma says, 'question me!'

Huma says, 'I've met LadyAce I have first hand info'

Huma says, 'uh there will be no new address'

Chaykin says to LadyAce, 'That's a bonus but not required.'

Huma says, 'because it will DNS you back to wherever we end up'

Huma says, 'if you do the legendmud.org:9999 thing'

Huma says, 'but as for like.. the numbers version'

Huma says, 'I dont know'

Shivan says, 'interweb newb omg'

LadyAce says, 'you might hafta hit the calculator button in your zmud settings'

Shivan says, ':P'

Jesus says, 'tartarus, WHEN!'

LadyAce says, 'because it saves the IP rather than looking it up'

Huma says, 'oh I see'

Huma says, 'well there you have it'

LadyAce says, 'IP is gonna be 64.81.226.10'

Huma says, 'oh there we go'

Huma says, 'we should post that somewhere'

LadyAce says, 'but yo don't use the IP that's like, the suX0r'

Chaykin says, 'and remember to change the title screen too'

Jesus says to LadyAce, 'Not you too :('

Huma says, 'whats your question'

Jesus says, 'tartarus, WHEN!'

LadyAce says, 'Nestor is on a vacation in the US for like, two weeks'

Jesus says, 'so when he gets back?'

Huma says, 'but if you're lucky you might see him on the street'

Lorenzo says, 'we're trying to handle the dns in a way that will keep working,'

LadyAce says, 'but the install date has already been scheduled, and it won't be long.'

Lorenzo says, 'that doesn't really make sense'

Chaykin says, 'if you see a lost french person walking around, accost him and demand to know when tartarus is going in'

Huma says to Lorenzo, 'I would hope you handle it so it continues to work.'

Chaykin says, 'it might be him, but if it's not, it'll be amusing all the same'

Lorenzo says, 'mud.legendmud.org should be good all through the transition, is what I'm trying to say'

Lorenzo says, 'to the best of our control'

Shivan says, 'really where did nestor come to :P'

Huma says, 'the US of course'

Jesus says to Shivan, 'Altanta till today, i hear.'

Huma says, 'just attack french people eventually you'll get it right'

Huma says, 'ok who else has questions?'

Chaykin says, 'they'll probably just lie down and give up, you won't even have to fight'

Shivan says, 'oh blah georgia'

Jesus says, 'you didn't answer me, but ok. :p'

Huma says, 'paint with a wide brush thats what I always say'

Huma says to Jesus, 'Soon but not until Nestor comes back at least.'

Lorenzo says to Shivan, 'whatever you have to say about georgia, you can say to me. I'll stamp it with the former georgia resident seal of approval and pass it on.'

Huma says to Lorenzo, 'They eat squirrel and speak in tongues in georgia.'

LadyAce says, 'the most I can say is "soon" until it is closer.'

Lorenzo says to Huma, 'true!'

Somar says, 'they also refuse to hold airlines responsible for dram shop liability'

Huma says, 'ok other questions'

Huma says, 'raise your ruddy hands =P'

LadyAce says, 'I wouldn't want folks to take a day off work and then us have to delay it a few days because Somar found a bug somewhere'

Shivan says to Lorenzo, 'Actually the people in georgia were pretty nice.'

Huma says, 'or Somar... inserted a bug somewhere'

Chaykin says, 'if they eat squirrel, perhaps they have sugar gliders as hors d'ouevres'

Somar says, 'oooh.. what'd I break, this time?'

Huma says, 'so who has questions'

LadyAce says to Somar, 'nothing, get to work!'

Herbert says, 'just stopping by really so Huma doesnt chemically castrate me :)'

Huma says, 'oh you remember do you'

Chaykin says, 'there are worse kinds than chemical'

Chaykin says, 'like, with a spoon'

Jesus says, 'any update on resist stun stuffs?'

Huma says to Chaykin, 'Thats your punishment if you fail.'

Huma says to Jesus, 'I'm sorry not at this moment.'

Chaykin says to Huma, 'I see.'

Huma says, 'I'm sorry'

Huma says, 'if I could code at all I'd do it'

Huma says, 'so who else has questions'

Jesus says to Huma, 'I just like asking you that, it's a ritual now.'

Huma says, 'its fun I like answering it'

LadyAce says, 'time keeps on slipping...into the future...'

Chaykin says, 'so when it gets updated your life will be an empty shell bereft of its former purpose'

Huma says, 'wanna know how much of a nerd I am, I went to a Final Fantasy symphony orchestra on sunday'

Lorenzo says to LadyAce, 'argh! I can't quite place that!'

Shivan says, 'HI all of you need to use the online forums more!'

Shivan says, 'that is all.'

Chaykin says to Huma, 'Oh you went to that too?'

Rufus says to Huma, 'I won't even go that geek.'

Huma says, 'yeah it was really cool huh'

Huma says, 'I know :('

Somar says to Rufus, 'I was there too.. but at least I drank liquor.'

Chaykin says, 'errr I didn't go, I just know somar did'

Huma says, 'no one can question my nerd cred anymore'

Huma says, 'and now everyone knows why I dont have a girlfriend'

Chaykin says to Huma, 'I question how it could get any bigger.'

Huma says, 'so other questions?'

Rufus says to Huma, 'Cuz you went with your boyfriend, AND got him liquered up.'

Huma says, 'you got it'

LadyAce says, 'my excuse for not foruming more is that I bought a house, went to new york for a week for work, moved, and then had my mom in town for a week and today I had some coffee.'

Lorenzo says, 'mmmm, coffee'

Jesus says, 'which one of you mean imms will fix tf for me.'

LadyAce says, 'er two weeks my mom was here'

Chaykin says to LadyAce, 'The coffee is really the tip of that iceberg.'

Shivan says to LadyAce, 'Mostly i want to get more players to post :P'

Rufus says, 'what's wrong with TF?'

Huma says, 'whats wrong with it'

LadyAce says, 'make him fix your tf'

Shivan says, 'lorenzo and herbert could post more too though! :P'

Huma says, 'I'll fix your TF'

Jesus says to Rufus, 'It only shows my prompt when i hit enter, not on output of the mud.'

Lorenzo says to Jesus, 'visual!'

Rufus says, 'oh, tinyfugue.'

Jesus says, 'visual sucks.'

Rufus says, 'try 'telnet' to toggle your telnet ga sequences.'

Goin'fission says, 'howdy'

Jesus says, 'hey, that worked.'

Herbert says, 'what am i postin more on :p'

Jesus says to Rufus, 'Thanks :)'

LadyAce says to Herbert, 'forum.'

Huma says, 'Forums are awesome'

Huma says, 'we've had lots of fun stuff on there'

Lorenzo says, 'ooh'

Huma says, 'lots of cool convos about stuff'

Herbert says, 'ohhhhh yeah... will post more on the forums next week then :)'

Huma says, 'ok questions?'

Jesus says, 'i get lost in the forum.'

Huma says, 'you have the king of comedy Rufus here'

Goin'fission says, 'did the para rate go down recently?'

Huma says, 'how can you have no questions =P'

Herbert says, 'is it ok to lose 10kg in weight in 3 weeks?'

Rufus says, 'no changes have been made to the para rate.'

Huma says, 'I dont think it did intentionally'

Goin'fission says, 'huh'

Shivan says, 'Yeah! questions. uh'

Chaykin says to Jesus, 'You can't work tf and you get lost in the forum...if you need me to come over and set your vcr clock too, lemme know.'

Shivan says, '3weeks? 20lbs? If you are starving maybe'

Huma says to Herbert, 'As long as you areny like 60kg to begin with.'

Lorenzo says to Herbert, 'if you're drinking water, yes.'

Jesus says to Chaykin, 'I don't have a vcr, i have tico.'

Huma says, 'or I dunno'

Shivan says, 'thats probably mostly water and muscle lost that fun'

Jesus says to Chaykin, 'Tivo, too.'

Herbert says, 'sweet then, cos im almost back down to a pleasant 65kg'

Huma says, 'ok questions!'

Shivan says to Herbert, 'Tiny.'

Huma says, 'ask me questions that dont involve weightloss'

Chaykin says to Jesus, 'Ahh the vcr was too hard to operate.'

Huma says, 'go ahead and ask Sammi'

Sammi says, 'when I'm aiming for a snipe, and the target moves to another room, I am still able to continue aiming on the same target. Is this a known issue/supposed to happen?'

Jesus says to Chaykin, 'No, Tivo was just, actually useful. :p'

Lorenzo says, 'vcr => ui problems'

Rufus says, 'hrm, well, if not, it is now =)'

Huma says, 'yeah thats a problem'

Huma says, 'bug it!'

Lachesis says, 'awww imm love'

Huma says, 'I have that as F3 now'

Huma says, 'Bug it!'

Goin'fission says, 'hmm'

Huma says, 'ok who else has questions'

Huma says, 'I know stuff about things'

Huma says, 'go ahead'

Blackdeath says, 'any plans for some pkill games any time soon?'

Rufus says, 'I do, but it involves weight =) so I'll wait.'

Huma says, 'yes'

Goin'fission says, 'i've got an idea'

Huma says, 'the Semi-Annual Heavyweight PKill tournament'

Huma says, 'is next month'

Huma says, 'so bring your stompin boots'

Huma says, 'cuz there will be some stomping to do'

Huma says, 'ok who else has a q'

Shivan says, 'meh i have pk tourny related things to post but i guess i can bring it up here'

Goin'fission says, 'i've got an idea i'd like to run by'

Huma says to Goin'fission, 'Ok go ahead.'

Huma says to Shivan, 'You're next.'

Goin'fission says, 'i think for 100m xp'

Shivan says to Huma, 'Bah I was faster! :P'

Huma says to Lorenzo, 'Damnit Maverick you're dangerous.'

Goin'fission says, 'you ought to be able to redeem to combine 2 peices of EQ'

Goin'fission says, 'i.e.'

Goin'fission says, 'make a +10 item just for your char'

Huma says, 'like a make a scalp combine with a scalp and have like a uber awesome head item'

Goin'fission says, 'yeah'

Goin'fission says, 'for 100m xp =P'

Shivan says, 'yeah never gonna happen ;)'

Goin'fission says, 'as a one time per char thing'

Huma says, 'that would be off the hook =P'

Goin'fission says, 'it's be nice though =]'

Huma says, 'and er... out of control'

Huma says, 'idea it'

Huma says, 'they are working on things for post-50 experience'

Shivan says, 'even once'

Goin'fission says, 'why out of control?'

Huma says, 'you never know'

Rufus says, 'we have plans to make slightly more powerful items, but carte blanche ability to combine two items seems, on the surface, to have a lot of implications that might not be desirable.'

Goin'fission says, 'like what?'

Goin'fission says, 'off the top of yer head =P'

Shivan says, 'oooh so many abusable things'

Shivan says, 'not to mention making all pkers have to have 100mil to be on the same level'

Goin'fission says, 'ok, i've got another question...'

Rufus says, 'the stats are really carefully weighted with the total amount available. Since this game is highly stat based, increasing that total is something we have to do with caution.'

Huma says, 'wait for after Shivan'

Huma says, 'but there will be maybe something like that'

Shivan says, 'giving me an extra 5 stats would probably be scary'

Goin'fission says, 'huh'

Huma says, 'but certainly probably not quite exactly what you say'

Goin'fission says, 'ok'

Goin'fission says, 'then how about stat shifting?'

Huma says, 'but if you have ANY ideas about stuff like that'

Goin'fission says, 'i.e. every 100m or whatever you can shift say 1 spirit to 1 perc'

Huma says, 'nows the time to use the forum or discussion or idea channel'

Huma says, 'cuz we can always use a good idea'

Chaykin says, 'there's the possibility that bonded items could be more powerful, am I right?'

Huma says to Chaykin, 'Its been discussed.'

Rufus says, 'stat shifting is something we've considered as well and we may have a forum to implement that. But shivan's turn, I believe'

Shivan says, 'or post them on the "what do you think" thread on the discussion forum!'

Goin'fission says, 'huh'

Goin'fission says, 'i hate getting flamed though =P'

Rufus says to Chaykin, 'Bondable, item level limits, hometown limited items.'

Shivan says, 'ooh someone'

Huma says, 'or hell start a 'What we think you should be able to do in a post-50 bonus reward type situation' forum post'

Shivan says to Huma, 'Thats what i'm talking about.'

Goin'fission says, 'mkay'

Huma says to Shivan, 'Ask your question :)'

Goin'fission says, 'ask yer question shiv =P'

Shivan says to Huma, 'Sandra's post titled "what do you think" is that subject.'

Huginn says, 'that would be another Rufus code update'

Goin'fission says, 'oic'

Shivan says to Huma, 'She just sucks at making subject lines :P'

Huma says, 'toss out that question Shivan'

Shivan says, 'Question: how about a pk tournament limited to only current PKE characters?'

Rufus says to Huginn, 'The timers stuff is behind the scenes non-implemented, not pk timers =)'

Huma says, 'uh... how about it!'

Huma says, 'well how would you encourage people to try out PK'

Rufus says, 'that's the new timer_data stuff =)'

Shivan says, 'This heavyweight tournament is going to be full of old-out-of-spec characters'

Huginn says, 'didn't mean pktimers'

Huma says, 'I feel that tournaments are a way to allow non-pkers to dip their feet'

Huginn says, 'ah thought you meant for affects etc'

Jesus says to Huginn, 'Nice stuff.'

Huginn says, 'one sec then'

Goin'fission says, 'wtf is this spec that everyone keeps rattlin on about?'

Huginn says, 'wasn't me'

Shivan says, 'Well how about one for dedicated pkers as a reward for being pke ;)'

Huma says to Shivan, 'Well, I'd like to just remove all old spec EQ myself :)'

Nexela says, 'someone say Frat Party?'

Jesus says to Rufus, 'You?'

Huma says to Nexela, 'You're next on the keg stand.'

Nadia says to Nexela, 'thats why Im here.'

Shivan says to Huma, 'That'd work also, mine is all archived anyways.'

Nexela says to Rufus, 'Code my Idea!'

Huma says, 'well old EQ is a problem'

Shivan says, 'oops'

Shivan says, 'meant huginn'

Somar says, 'errr'

Huma says, 'but its not one I can easily like.. fix unfortunately'

Rufus says, 'okay, hang on, too many convo's going'

Rufus says to Huma, 'Who's got the floor?'

Jesus says to Huma, 'Old eq needs to be bonded.'

Shivan says, 'no'

Shivan says, 'old eq needs to be disallowed in all pk :P'

Huma says to Rufus, 'Shivan is asking if we can basically not permit people with old EQ to be in PK tournaments.'

Jesus says to Shivan, 'Yes :)'

Nexela says, 'I agree!'

Jesus says to Shivan, 'Bonding will do that.'

Goin'fission says, 'i still like the item bonding idea'

Nexela says, 'ohhh removeaffect!'

Goin'fission says, 'i could use one of those uberscalps =P'

Huma says, 'and my response is'

Huma says, 'I'd like to'

Huma says, 'but ya know what can I do?'

Huma says, 'I'll look into it'

Shivan says, 'Ok well i'll just toss a pke only tournament idea on the forums also'

Nexela says, 'SWEET!'

Goin'fission says, 'i've got another one! =P'

Huma says, 'I could have someone code an old EQ detector and make all PK'ers pass through it'

Rufus says, 'well, we could run PK tourneys where all of the equipment is loaded rather than ported over from the main mud.'

Huma says, 'I'll look into it Shivan'

Huma says to Rufus, 'Would just take lots of manpower.'

Shivan says, 'well technically my eq is old, because it is old AC spec ---- i mean old hit/dam eq ;)'

Rufus says to Huma, 'Not that bad =)'

Huma says to Rufus, 'Would there be any problem with just setting stats?'

Huma says, 'I'll think about it Shivan'

Rufus says, 'on objects? ow =P'

Huma says, 'go ahead Goin'

Goin'fission says, 'm'kay'

Goin'fission says, 'what about an iron will class for perception?'

Huma says, 'hrrrrrrm'

Huma says, 'like what would it do?'

Goin'fission says, 'more decent chance of para'

Jesus says, 'make shoot head stun more?'

Huma says, 'but its not a fight stat'

Huma says, 'it doesnt count =P'

Huma says, 'so it wont happen :)'

Chaykin says, 'bleh, just what pk needs, more stunning'

Goin'fission says, 'ya know'

Goin'fission says, 'it's the one gun that stuns more'

Huma says to Goin'fission, 'Thats what I keep hearin.'

Goin'fission says, 'my nickel plated doesn't stun any more than before'

Huma says to Goin'fission, 'But not sure if its provable.'

Jesus says to Goin'fission, 'It's not the gun, it's the Q of said gun.'

Goin'fission says, 'reguardless'

Goin'fission says, 'everyone whines about stuns'

Shivan says, 'its gun damage from my knowledge, but i can't see the stun chance code'

Jesus says to Goin'fission, 'And there's more than one :)'

Goin'fission says, 'yet i haven't won a pk fight in a minute =P'

Goin'fission says, 'ok, part 3 of my question'

Huma says to Goin'fission, 'You're hoggin the mike make it quick =P'

Goin'fission says, 'i forgot =P'

Huma says, 'bah'

Goin'fission says, 'goddamn weed'

Huma says, 'ok passed =P'

Shivan says, 'cause we have so many people here'

Huma says, 'go ahead Nexela'

Lorenzo says, 'microphone level is 1/10 line level!'

Shivan says, '10morts 7immorts'

Huma says, 'thats a lot'

Nexela says, 'What are the chances of making our color settings shareable like prompt formats'

Huma says, 'hrrrm'

Huma says, 'not a bad idea'

Huma says, 'I dunno how code feasible it is'

Jesus says to Nexela, 'GREAT idea.'

Shivan says to Lorenzo, 'Too much irc!'

Rufus says, 'not terribly difficult, I don't think.'

Huma says, 'but why not right'

Goin'fission says, 'i love irc =P'

Huma says, 'idea that Nexxie'

Rufus says, 'she did'

Shivan says, 'thats a thought'

Huma says, 'oh ok'

Huma says, 'well then'

Nexela says to Rufus, 'He did :p'

Shivan says, 'I want a way to share my colors with my alts though :P'

Goin'fission says, 'i idea'd sharing prompts w/alts'

Jesus says to Shivan, 'Make an alias to set them all.'

Lorenzo says to Shivan, 'i just started participating in an irc thing... where, of course, I do things like *sigh self* that render in bold text to ircers.'

Goin'fission says, 'should work w/offline people'

Huma says, 'ok'

Huma says, 'go ahead Jesus'

Rufus says to Nexela, 'You realize, I can change reality here to match my gramatical mistakes, right?'

Chaykin says, 'we did have the color templates that cheyla was handling...we could add more people's colors to that'

Shivan says, 'if i could store my colors / prompt for access to alts would be cool. Yes I could just do it in zmud :P'

Jesus says, 'did the templates idea get thrown in the dumpster when i wasn't looking?'

Huma says, 'no'

Jesus says to Somar, 'Me too.'

Huma says, 'its something we wanna do'

Huma says, 'its just not as simple as all that =P'

Jesus says, 'ok.'

Somar says, 'my colors are too 1337 for you, though.'

Huma says, 'go ahead again'

Nexela says to Somar, 'A color setup alias doesn't work though when I wanna use someone elses colors though :p'

Jesus says, 'explain this assist thing.'

Shivan says, 'completely changing the way items are handled sounds like a healthy project ;)'

Lorenzo says to Somar, 'my prompt is too 1337 for zmud!'

Huma says to Somar, 'Only huge nerds use color set aliases.'

Jesus says, 'and one more, after that.'

Rufus says, 'no, actually, quite a bit of the code is there. There are some... hangups, though, since objects use a rather wide array of variables that may or may not change, and may or may not be inherited from a template.'

Somar says to Huma, 'Says the guy who almost peed himself when the DSO announced "One-Winged Angel" was going to be played.'

Delif says, 'i just keep it in a text file and cut and paste it'

Rufus says, 'it would be problematic if your sword returned to not poisoned every time you rented out/in'

Huma says, 'or your weapon unstrung everytime you logged in'

Shivan says, 'true!'

Nexela says to Rufus, 'Just do an EQ purge and purge all EQ in the game!'

Huma says to Nexela, 'That hurts player retention.'

Jesus says to Rufus, 'Oh wow, taint would create problems too then.'

Rufus says to Nexela, 'That sounds like fun, only not.'

Chaykin says, 'mass purgings of any kind tend to kill muds'

Shivan says, 'I idead'd that!'

Shivan says, 'I idead'd that!'

Shivan says, 'sorry.'

Rufus says, 'it's just a matter of figuring out things like 'hey this needs to save X variable' but 'this one needs to pull X variable from the file''

Huma says to Shivan, 'Woah there speedy =P'

Nexela says, 'anyways anyone answered zmuds question yet :p'

Jesus says, 'will sink be removable with removeaffect?'

Nexela says, 'err Jesuses question'

Shivan says to Huma, 'Oh sorry i'm spamming in the middle of things, i'm just excited i can remove sustained breath tomorrow.'

Jesus says, 'please say no.'

Shivan says to Huma, 'I think it has been on for 3 years now.'

Rufus says, 'most beneficial effects will be, but I'm not sure.'

Huma says, 'nice'

Jesus says, 'might have some pk drawbacks with sink.'

Huma says, 'yeah can Sink be a offensive spell?'

Huma says, 'maybe'

Huma says, 'I dunno'

Jesus says to Huma, 'Yes :)'

Shivan says, 'hey duration isn't really a problem for me as is - if i cast at the right time'

Nexela says to Shivan, 'You mean a week before you need to meditate right :p'

Huma says, 'yeah Sink can be offensive'

Rufus says, 'heh, that's a bug =P'

Huma says, 'so it probably should not be on the list?'

Nexela says, 'and someone explain assist!'

Jesus says, 'but it also falls into benificail.'

Shivan says, 'How is sink offensive'

Rufus says, 'cure spells on self should always go through your own sink.'

Jesus says, 'or whatever.'

Huma says, 'I think'

Shivan says, 'You can't use sink offensively at all, sorry, please explain'

Nexela says, 'a lower mage preping someone would have trouble getting through a sink'

Huma says, 'that assist will allow you to start attacking the same thing that whoever you assist is attacking'

Jesus says to Shivan, 'There's plenty of ways.'

Huma says, 'so if Rufus is fighting Somar I type assist Rufus, and I am fighting somar'

Nexela says, 'Well there goes a whole week of complex triggers :p'

Shivan says, 'oh wow its about time for that too'

Rufus says, 'there's a caveat to assist'

Lorenzo says to Huma, 'maybe!'

Huginn says, 'you're kicking Somar's ass!'

Huma says to Huginn, 'On a daily basis.'

Nexela says, 'a caveat?'

Huma says to Huginn, 'And if we're talking philisophically, I've never stopped kicking his ass.'

Rufus says, 'assist has a small (3%) chance of failing. For every potential target in the room, that chance increase a bit.'

Somar says, 'and when he tries to kick ass, he aims for the taint'

Jesus says, 'nasty.'

Nexela says to Rufus, 'I swear you don't like 100%'s do you :p'

Lorenzo says, 'the random number generator is really busy'

Rufus says, 'you'll get skill lag on assist, whereas you can start with specials if you initiate the old way.'

Shivan says, 'mostly i see assist as being for a- the lazy b- people trying not to hit people with "assassin" in there desc in AT ;)'

Nexela says to Rufus, 'Im suprised rescue doesnt have a huge fail rate :p'

Huma says to Shivan, 'Or calatin's sons.'

Rufus says to Nexela, 'It should have some.'

Chaykin says, 'er I really don't think 3% is "huge"'

Lorenzo says, 'nothing is certain, grasshopper!'

Shivan says, 'so wait- are bigger groups or more opponents what makes it harder to assist?'

Nexela says to Jesus, 'All these nifty changes, and the muds gonna be down most of the weekend.'

Lorenzo says to Shivan, 'either.'

Rufus says, 'more opponents, your group members don't count.'

Lorenzo says, 'oh!'

Shivan says, 'cool.'

Huma says, 'very cool'

Nexela says to LadyAce, 'Rent the apartment for 2 more days and keep legendmud up until moday morning! :p'

Shivan says, 'Yeah you should do the changes reboot tonight ;)'

Somar says, 'but if you think *this* week is exciting, just wait til you see what's coming next week!'

Nexela says to Somar, 'Details! or at least hints :p'

Huma says to Somar, 'Whats that? huh huh huh huh.'

Somar says, 'dammit, I suspected my bluff would not be called'

Huma says, 'ok other questions?'

Nexela says, 'your Lying1'

Huma says to Somar, 'Where did you pur your lying?'

Huma says, 'I know I borrowed your lying the other day Somar'

Huma says, 'did I give it back?'

Nexela says, 'shutup!'

Huma says, 'heh'

Nexela says, 'leave my typos alone'

Huma says, 'ok question me'

Huma says, 'how did you get that manly physique Huma... whats it like being so cool?'

Somar says to Huma, 'Sorry, but you'll never be as cool as Strong Bad.'

Chaykin says, 'feh strong bad...homsar is the coolest'

Nexela says to Jesus, 'I think the virtual keg is begining to have an effect on huma.'

Huma says to Chaykin, 'I'm a cup of coffee.'

Rufus says to Huma, 'You got the manly physique on main street for $35, and you should probably drive him home now.'

Chaykin says, 'daaaahaahaahh...caramel corn for president please!'

Jesus says to Nexela, 'Nah, he's permanently like this.'

Jesus says to Rufus, 'Wow, you're on a roll.'

Nexela says, 'them'

Rufus says, 'random aside -- as far as the 'old eq' some of the new PK code we're working on might might minimize the effects of some old items so they're not so overbearing.'

Nexela says, 'PK aside I have more questions!'

Shivan says, 'how so'

Jesus says, 'new old gear > old old gear, imo'

Shivan says, '"free damroll matters less" code? :P'

Jesus says, 'or.'

Jesus says, 'ac > damroll.'

Jesus says, 'take your pick. :p'

Shivan says, 'that kind of spoils everyone who has damroll now ;)'

Rufus says, 'part of the initial strategy is to affect the amount of damage PK folks put out to each other across the board. So your % increase for damroll will still be the same, but it will mean 4-6 points more damage, rather than 30-40 =P'

Shivan says, 'so if i do 2 and they do 6'

Nexela says to Jesus, 'What about my 50/50 -100ac 100str/con 60dex fighter :p'

Shivan says, 'thats still alot more'

Jesus says to Nexela, 'Wfw.'

Rufus says, 'not necessariy. More like you'll be doing 25 and they'll be doing 28-29'

Jesus says to Rufus, 'Sounds betterer.'

Shivan says, 'oh so damroll is pointless? well that makes me more powerful'

Rufus says, 'no, it'll be scaled to a percentage of the damage you do now.'

Shivan says, 'If they still do the same % more I don't see how it is any different'

Rufus says, 'we're still working out the implementation details while we get the backened code done, nothing, and I mean nothing, is set in stone yet.'

Shivan says, 'your logic is flawed'

Rufus says, 'it gives the fights a 10-20 round duration, rather than you sucking up the extra 150 or so damage a mistimed bash can do.'

Nexela says, 'I dunno what all the fuss is about short pk fights, Ive seen quit a few fights that have laste 2-3 mud days :p'

Nexela says, 'its all in the flee!'

Shivan says, 'I don't really mind the damage'

Rufus says, 'I've consistently been happy with wthe amount of damage one fight type dishes out against another (ratio-wise), however, the sheer amount they can do when compared to how many hps a player has is, I think, the core of the problem.'

Nexela says to Rufus, 'Just give us all 1k more hps :p'

Shivan says, 'well if damage is lowered overall, keep in mind it won't matter for hps, but mana will become proportionately less efficient'

Chaykin says, 'that would unbalance the mobkill part way too much'

Rufus says, 'not necessarily'

Shivan says, 'once again, mana is the problem'

Nexela says to Chaykin, 'Give all the mobs 1k more too :p'

Shivan says, 'well mana dmage will be less efficient and healing will be more'

Rufus says, 'part of this change is that mana is charged according to how much damage was done. So if PK enters the picture and you do 30 points, you can expect your spell to cost 16-20 or so'

Rufus says, 'we're still working out the healing details.'

Chaykin says to Nexela, 'I don't think anyone is looking for mob fights to last longer than they do now :P just pk ones.'

Jesus says to Rufus, 'It's easy, yank cc.'

Shivan says, 'and if you lower healing in pk how do you keep from maiming me in pk'

Shivan says, 'err in mobkill'

Huma says, 'sonuva'

Huma says, 'ok Comcast did that all last night to me'

Nexela says, 'Healing during a pk timer will prolly heal less :p'

Nexela says to Huma, 'Don't say that dirty word!'

Rufus says to Shivan, 'That's what we're still working out. Chances are it will have to figure out what damage your healing is PK or not PK and adjust accordingly.'

Huma says, 'so I may be in and out'

Huma says, 'so is that question done and if so is anyone in line'

Shivan says, 'hmm'

Huma says, 'and if so =P'

Shivan says, 'iron will, balm, cup healing would have ot be looking at too'

Shivan says, 'Well I don't want things to slip past'

Shivan says, 'its been known to happen :P'

Rufus says, 'I'm sure things will. There's only a few hundred thousand lines of code here =P'

Nexela says to Rufus, 'Skyblade!'

Huma says to Shivan, 'Thems fightin words.'

Shivan says to Huma, 'Commere and we can fight about them!'

Shivan says to Huma, 'And then have RB & vodkas.'

Huma says, 'go ahead Nexxie'

Nexela says, 'When you see Nestor, will you slap him for his lift chain room?'

Huma says, 'uh'

Huma says, 'no =P'

Nexela says, 'It only took me 3 hours to figure out how to get my mapper configured for it :p'

Huma says, 'I'll slap him if he tries to serve me warm beer'

Somar says, 'can't we just find a scapegoat to slap instead?'

Huma says to Somar, 'Or a dead horse.'

Shivan says, 'Any frenchman will do?'

Somar says, 'like.. Chaykin! He can be our Emmanuel Goldstein!'

Nexela says, 'well if we all slap jesus MAYBE he can be the scapegoat :p'

Huma says, 'poeb?'

Shivan says, 'Poeb!'

Shivan says, 'what?'

Nexela says, 'Poeb?'

Shivan says, 'huh?'

Rufus says, 'Plane of Earth B, in everquest'

Shivan says, 'pirates of everything butt?'

Huma says, 'Pirates of Earthly Beauty'

Huma says, 'oh ok'

Huma says, 'ok any more questions for Rufus?'

Shivan says to Huma, 'Stop that :/'

Nexela says, 'for rufus !'

Huma says, 'go go go'

Nexela says, 'Anyway you can code in a Nexela doesn't lose mana function :p'

Huma says, 'thursday is raid night for my guild too'

Somar says, 'I did that, actually.. it was called Stone of Recuperation'

Shivan says, 'You guys have no business playing other games'

Rufus says, 'yeah, actually it's already coded'

Shivan says, 'yeah somar did that :P'

Nexela says to Somar, 'I lose about 500 mana casting the damn thing :p'

Rufus says, 'you just have to refrain from casting any spells.'

Huma says, 'wheres my drum set I need to hit the rimshot'

Shivan says, 'Unless you are somehow involved in developing them, no other mmorpgs!'

Huma says, 'ok other questions?'

Rufus says, 'heh, sorry, this is my addiction =)'

Huma says, 'your Rufus face time is rapidly dwindling'

Shivan says, 'ok ok so i'm getting guild wars as soon as i have a new videocard ;)'

Huma says, 'ok then'

Huma says, 'any other questions at all?'

Rufus says, 'okay, huma gets to field the rest. Night guys =)'

Huma says, 'goodbye Ruf'

Huma says, 'any other question, if not I'll fold shop'

Shivan says, 'None here'

Huma says, 'go Jesus'

Shivan says, 'Remember to post mroe!'

Shivan says, 'online!'

Huma says to Shivan, 'I have been trying.'

Jesus says, 'can you please tell NExela that 2=1?'

Shivan says, 'I mean everyone'

Somar says, '2 = 1 is in invalid assignment.. ask any compiler'

Huma says, 'I can but I choose not to'

Huma says to Somar, 'Thank you Mr Data.'

Somar says, 'but (!(2==1)) is TRUE'

Huma says, 'any other questions?'

Nexela says, 'or in zmud 2!-1'

Shivan says, 'actually'

Huma says, 'that are real'

Nexela says, 'or in zmud 2!=1'

Somar says, 'also true - (2 1)'

Shivan says, 'char 1 = 2 should work :P'

Huma says to Somar, 'Oh my god you're such a nerd I dont know where to begin =P'

Huma says, 'Mr Data that will be all!'

Nexela says to Somar, 'What about bitwise operations :p'

Huma says, 'ok this Q&A is over'

LadyAce says, '1 + 1 ~= 3 for sufficiently large values of 1'

Shivan says to LadyAce, 'This is math, no philosophy!'

Nexela says to LadyAce, 'Nooo 1+1=3 if the condom breaks :p'

Huma says to LadyAce, 'Thats true.'

Somar says to Nexela, '(2 1) is not true.'

Somar says, 'but (3 1) is'

Huma says, 'no LA is right'

Shivan says, 'xor! ah! bitwise! no! brain fried.'

LadyAce says, '2 % milk = 0'

Huma says, 'if 1 = 5 then 1 + 1 is approximately equal to 3 :)'

Somar says, '1 + 1 = 3 if the government says so'

Huma says, '2% is better then that skim'

Somar says, 'if you have any questions about that, I can direct you to room 101'

Huma says, 'that skim is for the bad children'

Shivan says, 'milk is gross'

Huma says to Nadia, 'Closer by Linkin Park or by NiN?'

Nexela says, 'milk does a body good!'

Nadia says to Shivan, 'unless its on cerial.'

Nadia says to Huma, 'niN.'

Shivan says, 'ok sometimes on cereal'

Somar says to Huma, 'Linkin Park's is One Step Closer.'

Huma says to Somar, 'You're one step closer to a kick to the taint.'

Shivan says, 'Closer --- heh heh.'

Nexela says to Somar, 'Your too nerdy to be able to know that!'

Nadia says to Shivan, 'i like that song.'

Huma says to Somar, 'Your gigantic metallice taint.'

Somar says to Huma, 'Where did I leave my too nerdy?'

Huma says to Somar, 'I think Shivan has it.'

Shivan says to Nexela, 'I like...'

Shivan says, 'Wait'

Shivan says, 'What did I leave'

Shivan says, 'What'

Shivan says, 'I'm confused'

Nexela says, 'I have your too nerdy right here!'

Shivan says, 'What do i Have?'

Somar says to Shivan, 'My too nerdy.'

Nexela says to Shivan, 'They are making fun of my typos.'

Shivan says, 'i'm confused, i'm copying a cd'

Nadia says to Shivan, 'which CD?'

Shivan says to Nexela, 'Just cause j00 suxx0rz at teh engrish.'

Somar says to Shivan, 'Pir8!'

Shivan says to Nadia, 'Doves - the last broadcast.'

Nadia says to Shivan, 'ooh.'

Shivan says, 'woah wtf'

Shivan says, 'ok see i'm nto a nerd'

Shivan says, 'i wonder if just broke my burner'

Shivan says, 'guess what'

Shivan says, 'if you put 1 cd in on top of another one, it will try to read them'

Huma says, 'ok seeya guys later'

Nexela says to Shivan, 'You ARE supposed to push it in not push it down!'

Huma says, 'hope this was an Informative Q&A'

Somar says, 'I've done that before, actually.. it read the bottom one.. and we were all.. WTF? Why is it reading the one I had in there before'

Shivan says, 'nobody is going to laugh at me for my idiocy? :P'

Shivan says, 'mine made FUBAR noises'

Shivan says, 'scary'

Nexela says to Shivan, 'I would laugh but its a common thing :p'

Somar says to Shivan, 'I've been there before .. so I can't hate on you.'

Nexela says, 'I actully have an old-school cd drive with like 3 cds jammed into it'

Shivan says, 'we had a 4 cd cd changer before'

Shivan says, 'at work'

Nexela says, 'please don't ask me how I did it'

Nexela says to Shivan, 'Nod.'
