Q & A Index

Salvatore raises his hand.
Salvatore peers around intently.
Huma says, 'wahtsup Salv'
Salvatore says, 'rahah!'
Salvatore says, 'suggestion want comment..'
Orchid nods her agreement with Xuvenia.
Salvatore says, 'pke clans or clans in general.. to up their spiffiness.. could it be possible for them to be allowed more than 2 housing projects?'
Huma says, 'uh... maybe'
Huma says, 'idea it =P'
Mertjai blinks.
Huma says, 'I dont think its the solution to all'
Huma says, 'but it couldnt hurt'
Salvatore says, 'its a nice thing to start with tho'
Salvatore raises his hand.
Huma says, 'go for it Sal'
Salvatore says, 'pk again..'
Huma says, 'sure'
Salvatore says, 'is it possible to make clanmobs for pke clans.. for use of later imped things.. and my suggestion to be used as a source of us to get clan zips or clan tokens we would call them.. that are already premade'
Salvatore says, 'so we dont have to bug imms a lot for new or more zips'
 under a tick.
Huma says, 'uh...'
Huma says, 'possible sure'
Xuvenia licks Nub.
Mertjai says, 'another idea channel thing.'
Huma says, 'it gets suggested a lot though'
Salvatore says, 'say i want for instance (all hypothetical) 882 pieces of aztec gold zips.. to pk with.. and dont want to come to you when i run out of some pieces.. hence go to a mob or tell a mob hey password phrase poof it hands me the zip'
Xuvenia says, 'wtf are you going to do with 882 gold pieces?'
Huma says, 'we havent done anything about it because its a gigantic overhaul basically'
Anadreva nods solemnly.
Huma says, 'and zips have always been availabe'
Huma says, 'just ask anyone with the string command and we can provide you a zip today'
Salvatore says to Xuvenia, 'my example is like.. take pirates of the caribbean =p'
Mertjai ponders 882 pieces of aztec gold's existence.
Salvatore says, 'say 2 pk clans have zips and wanna war over aztec gold..'
Huma says, 'clan/house mobs are the dream'
Mertjai eats 882 pieces of aztec gold.
Huma says, 'but its a far away dream'
Huma says, 'far far far away :('
Huma says, 'but the zip thing hey... we'll do it right now =P'
Salvatore says, 'soo instead of asking every day for more zips.. the mob when given a phrase gives it to us so it doesnt bog down imms'
Huma says, 'well someone will... I'm running Q&A'
Huma says, 'yeah Sal its a good idea but'
Huma says, 'I mean....'
Huma says, 'the work load is massive on it'
Xuvenia says to Huma, 'Too easy to abuse.'
Huma says, 'well to make them unabusable and work correctly'
Salvatore says, 'zips are easy yes.. but the clanmobs could later do other cool stuff possibly'
Huma says, 'I agree with you they would be awesome'
Mertjai says to Salvatore, 'It's probably something doable, in the future, nothing near end.'
Huma nods his agreement with Mertjai.
Salvatore nods his agreement with Mertjai.
Huma says, 'I am in favor of a thousand different kinds of clan mobs'
Huma says, 'you're thinking small trust me'
Salvatore says, 'yeah i know.. housing came in we hear about pets.. then pets got poofed..'
Huma says, 'I want guild mages that will tform for you'
Anadreva says, 'unless you manage to trap a mob in your house'
Salvatore says, 'or buy a clanmob for say orbs in your housing etc'
Xuvenia says, 'i get lots of LOPS running around'
Mertjai says to Anadreva, 'Trapping service mobs inside of houses is actually not good.'
Huma says, 'hehehe'
Salvatore says, 'lots of cool ideas can be used..'
Xuvenia says, 'maybe i should start trapping them'
Anadreva says to Mertjai, 'well, not service mobs.'
Anadreva says to Mertjai, 'i was thinking animal mobs.'
Salvatore says, 'if you pay for the mob..'
Salvatore says, 'rent wise also..'
Salvatore says, 'services like repair mend tform orbs..'
Salvatore says, 'would be cool =p'
Orchid says, 'would be cheese'
Orchid ducks to the ground.
Huma chuckles politely.
Salvatore says, 'could you imagine the price tag and the rent on them tho?'
Huma says, 'it'd be awesome'
Huma says, 'but not anytime soon'
Xuvenia says, 'isn't that what we have marauder and merlock for :P'
Salvatore says, 'it would be huge.. but worth it :D'
Salvatore some of us dislike the bots...
Mertjai says to Xuvenia, 'We crashed the other day, neither bot logged in immediately.'
Xuvenia smirks.
Salvatore would like to find in game solutions or pets!
Mertjai says to Xuvenia, 'I saw so many people begging on chat for preserves.'
Huma says, 'yeah definately one of our plans'
Anadreva says, 'there are in game solutions'
Xuvenia says, 'oh noes, people might actually have to do stuff for each other'
Anadreva says, 'they're just expensive'
Salvatore says, 'nuh uh'
Orchid says, 'there's a preserving mob.'
Salvatore loves the in game option for fixing!
Huma says, 'hehehe'
Anadreva says, 'and a tform, and a mend, and a repair'
Mertjai says to Orchid, 'Not everyone has the knowledge of where certain service mobs are.'
Huma says, 'the whole point of this game is to make sure no one can ever deal with anyone else =P'
Salvatore says, 'its not expensive because its near money mobs!'
Xuvenia grins evilly at Huma... Wonder what she's thinking...
Salvatore bonks Xuvenia on the head!
Salvatore peers around intently.
Salvatore raises his hand.
Huma says, 'go ahead Sal'
Salvatore says, 'another pk thing..'
Xuvenia rolls her eyes heavenward.
Nub snickers softly.
Huma says, 'just ask dont qualify =P' 
Salvatore says, 'we are talking of zips etc.. and them being switched around.. are we going to see the steal skill for pke's in a form of.. well.. anyone could do it or?'
Salvatore says, 'maybe make zips non ownable?'
Salvatore says, 'if that is at all possible..'
Huma says, 'uh... not a bad idea'
Huma says, 'or you could just hand them over'
Huma says, 'as prizes'
Salvatore says, 'well yeah but if you do that in a room full of ppl.. it does tend to look silly..'
Mertjai says, 'I dunno zips are used as other things too, I'm not sure I'd want them not ownable..'
Salvatore says, 'as if i would just hand over a zip of my clan to someone..'
Mertjai says, 'that and it'd be a coding nightmare to make just one object the exception.'
Salvatore nods his agreement with Mertjai.
Salvatore says, 'hence the pke steal thing'
Huma says to Salvatore, 'Thats the whole point of RP =P'
Huma says, 'ya know... to work together towards a common story line'
Huma says, 'code be damned'
Salvatore says to Huma, 'but if im at say stag.. and there are like 5 ppl there.. do i really want to just hand it over? =p'
Joel disappears into the void.
Joel has returned from the void.
Anadreva says, 'well, in sal's defense...'
Huma says, 'why not'
Salvatore peers at Huma, looking him up and down.
Xuvenia says, 'just make steal a normal command and not a skill'
Anadreva says, 'it does probably mess with suspension of disbelief'
Xuvenia nods to herself.
Salvatore says, 'that wouldnt fit any rp =p'
Mertjai says to Huma, 'You have killed me, I fear, here is what you have earned in reward.'
Mertjai has created a smidge of zip!
Mertjai gives Mertjai's clan token to Huma.
Orchid nods her agreement with Anadreva.
Huma cheers for Mertjai - huzzah!
Salvatore bonks Mertjai on the head!
Salvatore says to Mertjai, 'what if a clan is evil and is like.. ionno not willing to part with it =p'
Huma says to Mertjai, 'You most foul opponent, I shall have to wash your stench off it before putting it upon my mantle.'
Salvatore says, 'hence the steaaaling!'
Salvatore points at Fornelli.
Anadreva says, 'yes, yea, verily, milad, milady, thou havest crap'
Salvatore says, 'like him!'
Anadreva ducks to the ground.
Huma says to Salvatore, 'Then they arent helping with RP are they =P'
Fornelli says, 'what?'
Orchid grins evilly at Anadreva... Wonder what she's thinking...
Salvatore says to Huma, 'pfffffft.'
Salvatore says to Huma, 'it takes the fun out if you just hand it over =p'
Anadreva hopes she isn't about ot be struck.
Anadreva says, 'it would seem to me, erm'
Fornelli raises his hand.
Huma says, 'naw'
Huma says, 'I disagree'
Salvatore looks up into the sky and ponders.
Anadreva says, 'that it might be a better idea'
Salvatore raises his eyebrow at Anadreva.
Anadreva says, 'to have there be an exception to the requiring steal thing for a player corpse that you yourself killed'
Anadreva says, 'within a certain timer'
Salvatore nods his agreement with Anadreva.
Salvatore says, 'yeah that would do it :D'
Salvatore has steal.. could care less but cares about those who dont have steal..
Nub says, 'nothing better than failing a steal on a corpse'
Nub snickers softly.
Huma chuckles politely.
Anadreva says, 'steal to me seems like it really shouldn't be required to loot the dead'
Huma says, 'personally I think its odd'
Huma says, 'but I just dont see it changing'
Anadreva says, 'the UNdead, on the other hand...'
Anadreva says, 'that's a bit of a different story'
Huma says, 'and if you want to have RP strings, then work out the RP with someone and you can trade'em around all the live long day'
Mertjai laughs. 
Nub raises his hand.
Salvatore looks up into the sky and ponders.
Huma says, 'yeah sorry Sal you can post on it =P'
Mertjai sits down under a tick.
Salvatore nods his agreement with Orchid.
Huma says, 'but I'm goin onto Nubs questions here'
Salvatore nods solemnly.
 under a tick.
Fornelli peers intently at a tick.
Nub says, 'a question about tower of will, just some clarification'
Huma nods solemnly.
Nub says, 'so if I go ahead and learn iron will, then all my stats go down to around 40, I will still possibly get the affects, I don't neeed atleast one to be working at the right stats?'
Huma says, 'honestly I dont know for sure'
Orchid says, 'the skill will be at minus if you don't have the stats for at least one, no?'
Huma says, 'I imagine Orchid is right on that, BUT send a mudmail to Rufus about that'
Huma says, 'or Sandra'
Nub says, 'thats what I was thinking, but thats not what the help file says'
Fornelli says, 'If you do not know ironwill, the era ability wont work.'
Huma says, 'I imagine that you need to have one stat up there to make it a skill you can have'
Nub says, 'thats what I mean learn it'
Huma says, 'yeah'
Huma says, 'I think thats correct, you need to HAVE it as a skill'
Fornelli says, 'But ironwill gets a -ironwill if you drop below 90 stat'
Nub says, 'without requiring the min stat requirement, is that the help file says'
Fornelli says, '89 str = -ironwill' 
Nub says, 'again it says without requiring the min stat requirement, 90 would be it'
Huma says to Nub, 'Then take it up with Haley to clarify it =P'
Salvatore says, 'to my knowledge.. say you have 100 con 30 dex 40 str.. it can fire the str and dex IW without having the "Stats" for them'
Huma says, 'we're not gonna say oops our mistake then change the skill =P'
Fornelli nods his agreement with Salvatore.
Fornelli says to Nub, 'you need at least con/str/or dex 90+ with at least 30 spirit.'
Nub says, 'geeze you people are weird, I just want to make sure if it is true before I learn it'
Nub rolls his eyes heavenward.
Xuvenia says, 'which is way better than trying to maintain 90/90/90 stats :P'
Salvatore says, 'rufus told me that..' 
Huma giggles.
Salvatore nods his agreement with Xuvenia.
Mertjai says to Xuvenia, 'Aww, but but but.'
Huma says, 'well you just keep saying the same thing Nub'
Xuvenia says to Mertjai, 'Hush!'
Fornelli nods his agreement with Xuvenia.
Huma says, 'I'm sorry if what I'm saying isn't.... I dunno good enough'
Huma says, 'but its all I can say'
Salvatore says to Xuvenia, 'as long as you not pke =p'
Mertjai says to Xuvenia, 'I like my 118/114/116.'
Salvatore ducks to the ground.
Samule disappears into the void.
Nub says, 'and here I am while 4 of you disagree with me and I'm not looking to  argue'
Huma says, 'yes, I am aware what the help file says'
Huma says, 'I dont even know what I'd disagree with'
Salvatore says, 'i told imms the help file got me confused when i first read it also =p'
Huma says, 'I am aware of what the help file says'
Huma says, 'the help file may be incomplete or inaccurate'
Mertjai nods his agreement with Huma.
Huma says, 'I'm not disagreeing with you about the contents of the help file =P'
Salvatore says, 'it just seems worded badly =p'
Salvatore says, 'i had thought you didnt need IW at all =p'
Huma says, 'Merty here is part of that department'
Salvatore snickers softly.
Huma says, 'we'll have him figure out tower of will then maybe clarify it'
Mertjai says to Salvatore, 'Sometimes we need to revise helpfiles to help folks out, the best way to let us know though is via the idea/typo channels.'
Huma says, 'hows that'
Huma points at Mertjai.
Huma says to Mertjai, 'Your job!'
Nub snickers softly.
Huma licks Mertjai.
Salvatore says to Mertjai, 'oh.. i thought the imm i told told yall.'
Salvatore looks up into the sky and ponders.
Mertjai says to Huma, 'Suuuure pass the buck to the lowest totem :p'
Quimby says, 'where they are promptly tossed into the trash'
Salvatore says, 'doesnt go through the food chain up there?'
Salvatore peers around intently.
Huma grins evilly at Mertjai... Wonder what he's thinking...
Mertjai says to Salvatore, 'Not always, the channels are always the BEST way to get it through.'
Salvatore nods solemnly.
Salvatore says to Mertjai, 'poor merty.. lil a = you dont hear about it.'
Salvatore ducks to the ground.
An aura of heavenly light appears above Salvatore's head.
Mertjai says, 'I know what I need to know :p'
Huma flops about helplessly.
Salvatore grins evilly.
Huma says, 'anyway yeah we'll definately get the clarified'
Salvatore says to Mertjai, 'im being mean is all =p'
Salvatore scuffles his feet around in the dirt.
Huma says, 'although as far as I'm aware you have to HAVE the skill available for tower of will to work'
Salvatore is in a strange mood..
Nub says to Huma, 'All I want to know is if I should spend them :P'
Nub nods his agreement with Huma.
Nub thanks Huma heartily.
Salvatore says to Nub, 'never! down with era abilities!' 
Salvatore nods to himself.
Salvatore says, 'until more pke ones come ofcourse.. which wont happen ;)'
Huma chuckles politely. 
Salvatore ducks to the ground. 
Nub says to Salvatore, 'Down with pkill, throw it on the bubrning fire with skilltrees.'
Nub licks Salvatore.
Salvatore throws his head back and cackles gleefully!
Huma says, 'yes'
Huma says, 'all of it to the fires of hell'
Huma says, 'where it will be consumed' 
Nub says, 'hell is a good place for it, no one goes there'
Nub snickers softly.
Huma chuckles politely.
Huma says, 'so whatsup with the questions or lack thereof'
Huma flops about helplessly.
Mertjai says to Huma, 'That's the S part.'
Huma says, 'anyone have one? =P'
Nub says, 'oh, how can I make me able to see all the ansi affects?'
Fornelli raises his hand.
Xuvenia says to Nub, 'Help ansi attributes.'
Fornelli says, 'I raised my hand earlier.'
Huma says, 'yes ansi attributes'
Huma says, 'sorry Fornelli I didnt see... go ahead and ask'
Nub says to Xuvenia, 'I mean be able to see them, I have blink in my title, but it doesn't blink for me.'
Fornelli says, 'The post on the warboard says "Potential" Changes...does that mean those changes may not ever get done?'
Xuvenia says, 'oh'
Salvatore says to Fornelli, 'read welcome.'
Salvatore winks suggestively.
Orchid says to Nub, 'We found out that a LOT of ppl can't see the blinking blink. Might be client issue.' 
Fornelli says, 'ohh'
Fornelli says, 'okay.'
Huma chuckles politely.
Huma nods solemnly.
Xuvenia says, 'i'm really glad i can't see blinking :P'
Xuvenia says, 'that would annoy me way too fast'
Fornelli says, 'sorry that must be a new post'
Orchid grins evilly at Xuvenia... Wonder what she's thinking...
Samule has returned from the void.
Nub says to Xuvenia, 'Sissy.'
Salvatore looks up into the sky and ponders.
Huma says, 'yeah anyway'
Salvatore raises his hand.
Huma says, 'blink is funky'
Huma says, 'I had to dance around clients til I found one that would work'
Huma says, 'go ahead Sal'
Nub says, 'there I see the blinking, but when I put it in my title I cant'
Mertjai says to Nub, 'Then it's either filtered out, or not allowed there.'
Samule begins clawing at his back trying to itch a spot he can't quite reach.
Salvatore says, 'pke regen.. as in say item regen shield.. it will go to 45% or is there a min before it takes that % or..?'
Salvatore says, 'i understand cant take % off of 1 regen.. but 3..'
Huma says, 'look warboard 20 =P'
Salvatore says, 'i did'
Joel disappears into the void.
Joel has returned from the void.
Salvatore says, 'if it follows the code.. how exactly will that work for an uneven divided number?'
Huma says, 'I imagine no matter how high your regen ticks up it'll still be affects by the 45%'
Huma says, 'well 1 regen means you get 1 extra hit points every 6 ticks as a for instance'
Huma says, 'thats absolutly false'
Huma says, 'but its an analogy'
Xuvenia peers at Huma, looking him up and down.
Huma says, 'so 45% will ya know be like 1 extra HP every 13 ticks'
Huma says, 'I imagine that will be how it works'
Salvatore says, 'aah k'
Salvatore says, 'brb'
Xuvenia says, 'i thought it was 1 hp per regen for each time you get the regen message'
Xuvenia peers around intently.
Huma says to Xuvenia, 'I said its an absolutly false analogy :)'
Xuvenia bonks Huma on the head!
Xuvenia says to Huma, 'You should learn how the mechanics go :P'
Huma says, 'I know how they go... I used a false analogy to illustrate a point!'
Anadreva says, 'i always wondered, is there a helpfile anywhere that explains the regen numbers in att?'
Huma licks Xuvenia.
Huma says, 'I dont think there is actually'
Anadreva says, 'erm, should they be? or is that supposed to be concealed?'
Salvatore peers around intently.
Huma says, 'I dont know I've heard it explained before'
Anadreva nods solemnly.
Huma says, 'but essentially each tick is divided up into I think 6 different time periods'
Huma says, 'and those 6 different time periods are when your character regens'
Mertjai looks up into the sky and ponders.
Huma says, 'so far as I remember'
Anadreva nods solemnly.
Huma says, 'so +regen gives you a certain number of additional HP during this process'
Huma says, 'and that is what I remember'
Huma says, 'I could of course be lying'
Salvatore says, 'the regen i think is split into a normal tick..'
Anadreva laughs.
Huma says, 'but that is what I remember'
Salvatore says, 'say you have 3 regen hps.. during a tick.. you will gain 3 but not all at once'
Anadreva says, 'well, i'm gonna idea a helpfile for it, since, well, even if you were right, it doesn't help those who weren't here'
Huma nods his agreement with Salvatore.
Salvatore says, 'was my understanding..'
Anadreva says, 'and, you know...i'm sure you don't want everyone to hafta ask'
Samule rubs his bald head and reflects thoughtfully, "Hmmm".
Huma giggles.
Huma nods his agreement with Anadreva.
Huma says, 'I've heard it explained here before too'
Huma says, 'which is weird'
Salvatore looks up into the sky and ponders.
Huma says, 'thats how I learned'
Micele sits down on the ground.
Huma says, 'Rufus held a clinic'
Salvatore raises his hand.
Huma says, 'go ahead Sal'
Samule puts an empty glass vial in a small bag.
Salvatore says, 'new clans.. and the rp changes.. will it be possible to send all the lt submissions to change descripts if need be.. or is it possible we can just get them changed if need be?'
Salvatore says, 'as in one submission.. instead of like everyone submitting'
Salvatore says, 'is the key to the first point of that..'
Huma says, 'what do you mean'
Mertjai says, 'everyone would have to submit their own I would assume, if any descs change for the new clans rps' 
Salvatore snorts derisively.
Salvatore nods solemnly.
Huma nods his agreement with Mertjai.
Huma says, 'I guess you could write a story arch'
Salvatore says to Huma, 'you might get a lot of fun from that =p'
Huma says, 'then you could have little mini-posts'
Nub says, 'just have the new clan members send in a form letter, and they put in their info'
Nub snickers softly.
Huma says, 'about each different person' 
Salvatore would probably collect them all.. then send it in one big email =p
Huma says, 'thats not bad'
Huma says, 'I could deal with it'
Huma says, 'if you sent it in'
Salvatore says, 'im sure it would be easier that way.. since it would be the same story to start.. etc'
Salvatore says, 'just covering all my bases atm ;)'
Salvatore says, 'being open to anything that may or could happen'
Huma nods solemnly.
Huma says, 'its a good idea'
Huma says, 'I'll help'
Salvatore says to Huma, 'if only certain other ppl would step up and stop being lazy ;)'
Mertjai has created a piece of fruitcake!
Mertjai drops a piece of fruitcake.
Samule smiles happily.
Nub licks Orchid.
Huma chuckles politely.
Salvatore says, 'well.. not lazy lazy.. but get ahold of me would be a good start =p'
Huma nods his agreement with Salvatore.
Huma says, 'I know that feeling! :)'
Salvatore nods his agreement with Huma.
Salvatore says, 'nestor laughed too =p'
Salvatore snickers softly.
Huma chuckles politely.
Huma says, 'nice'
Huma says, 'so who else?'
Salvatore looks up into the sky and ponders.
Orchid raises her hand.
Huma says, 'whatsup O'
Xuvenia picks up a piece of fruitcake.
Xuvenia eats a piece of fruitcake.
Xuvenia thanks Mertjai heartily.
Xuvenia burps loudly.
Mertjai chuckles politely.
Mertjai grins evilly.
Orchid says, 'mob services in dream time: why is str potion not working, or is it just me? been whining for two years.'
Huma says, 'I dont know'
Salvatore says to Orchid, 'i have that problem sometimes in the druid compound..'
Salvatore looks up into the sky and ponders.
Huma says, 'heh oh'
Huma says, 'Somar is the maintainer and he quitz0r'
Orchid says, 'oh no, I don't mean void potions'
Huma says, 'so probably no one has been reading the bug reports'
Orchid says, 'they just don't respond to the obvious keywords'
Anadreva goes EEK! in distress.
Anadreva didn't even notice Somar quit.
Huma giggles.
Huma says, 'well... went inactive =P'
Salvatore says, 'somar quit??'
Huma says, 'didnt quit persay'
Salvatore blinks.
Samule raises his hand.
Huma says, 'still welcome back whenever, he just went inactive'
Huma says, 'anyway'
Salvatore nods solemnly.
Huma says, 'send a letter to LA about it'
Huma says, 'if its that big of a deal'
Orchid nods solemnly. 
Huma says, 'she will deal with it herselv'
Huma says, 'f'
Huma says, 'thats the best'
Huma says, 'we dont have a maintainer right now unfortunately'
Huma pokes Samule with Kryptonite.
Huma says, 'go ahead Samule' 
Samule says, 'I've been seeing something'
Samule says, 'dunno if it a bug or what'
Samule says, 'it happens all over, everywhere'
Anadreva says to Samule, 'maybe someone slipped something into your drink.'
Anadreva ducks to the ground.
Huma says, 'what is it'
Mertjai has created a piece of fruitcake!
Huma says, 'the color bleeding thing?'
Samule says, 'I'll kill a mob, but he'll get back up again'
Huma says, 'o?'
Huma says, 'like alive and stuff?'
Micele peers around intently.
Samule says, 'like: a warrior is dead. a warrior shakes head head and gets up.'
Huma says, 'ready to roll?'
Huma says, 'ohhh ok'
Huma says, 'the headbutt messages'
Huma says, 'don't go away when the mob dies'
Samule nods solemnly.
Samule says, 'afer daeth'
Salvatore laughs. 
Samule says, 'after death'
Samule says, 'sry, fingers are sore and tired'
Anadreva raises his hand.
Samule grins evilly. 
Huma says, 'just like the ol' backstab messages'
Salvatore says, 'thats funny' 
Huma says, 'telling you dead people are less alert'
Samule nods solemnly.
Salvatore nods his agreement with Huma.
Huma says, 'and you're like welll... yeah I imagine he IS less alert now'
Huma says, 'being as hes dead'
Samule throws his head back and cackles gleefully!
Anadreva nods solemnly.
Anadreva says, 'much funnier when it's him shaking his head and getting up'
Huma says, 'I think we know about it already'
Huma nods his agreement with Anadreva.
Salvatore says to Huma, 'i called it the captain obvious code bug.'
Salvatore snickers softly.
Huma says, 'ok go ahead Anadreva'
Samule says, 'yeah, that's the one, is it bug? can be fixed?'
Anadreva smiles at Salvatore.
Anadreva says, 'okay, well, got this idea from the last question'
Mertjai says, 'brb'
Anadreva says, 'is it possible at all for you guys to compile a list of known issues?'
Anadreva says, 'maybe non-exploitable ones, for safety's sake'
Xuvenia says, 'hahahahhaha that would be SOOOO long'
Huma says, 'like whaddaya mean'
Salvatore says, 'oh that would be cool to post'
Huma says, 'we have that list'
Huma says, 'its massive'
Salvatore says, 'on forums..'
Anadreva says, 'but just so we know what's been bugged so we don't bug it again'
Fornelli disappears into the void.
Fornelli has returned from the void.
Salvatore nods his agreement with Anadreva.
Huma giggles.
Anadreva says, 'also'
Huma says, 'well thing is theres probably some exploitable stuff there'
Salvatore says, 'well leave those out =p'
Salvatore snickers softly.
Joel tickles Micele.
Anadreva says, 'this way we'll know if it's a bug that we haven't heard of or if we're the ones messing up'
Micele giggles at Joel.
Anadreva says, 'obviously it could be a bit of a time eater, which is why i was wondering if it was even possible'
Huma says, 'if its a bug report it, no biggie, if its a duplicate'
Huma says, 'we just hit 'dd' and its gone'
Salvatore says, 'just a posting of known bugs, not abusable etc.. to be posted on forums!'
Salvatore nods to himself.
Salvatore is a forum addict...
Huma says, 'you guys should see the coder list'
Huma says, 'its 20 pages =P'
Orchid whispers quietly to Samule.
Salvatore looks up into the sky and ponders.
Salvatore says, 'i should apply for coder =p'
Anadreva says, 'so hire john carmack'
Anadreva ducks to the ground.
Huma chuckles politely.
Salvatore says, 'i got waaay too much time i could whip out some fixes!'
Salvatore nods to himself.
Anadreva says, 'and i could whip out some new bugs!'
Anadreva can't code.
Anadreva says, 'well'
Huma says, 'chuc' 
Huma chuckles politely.
Huma says, 'totally'
Anadreva can't code except on a graphing calculator.
Huma says, 'so did I miss any other raised hands'
Salvatore says to Anadreva, 'i usually crash muds tho because i find other bugs that are big =p'
Huma says, 'we rank the bugs 1 through 10'
Salvatore was a head builder on a pk mud.. and would find bugs left and right and kinda crash it..
Huma says, '10 being the most badass'
Huma says, '1 being the least worrisome'
Anadreva says, 'what's the average dhole?'
Huma says, 'dhole?' 
Salvatore looks up into the sky and ponders.
Anadreva says, 'you know, the cute coder term for those special bugs'
Huma says, 'hrm I dunno'
Huma says, 'most of the 1's get ignored and most of the 10's are some ginormous that no one touches them with a 10 foot pole =P'
Huma says, 'so who else has questions?'
Joel says, 'no wonder we're always broken'
Huma giggles.
Samule says, 'I wouldn't mind getting back into building'
Huma says, 'we've done a couple 10's since I've been here'
Huma says, 'they're like complete overhauls though'
Huma says, 'like one of the old ones was 10 - redo Combat system'
Huma says, 'and that got done'
Huma says, 'so anywho'
