Greetings fellow Football Fans!
Welcome to the fourth annual installment of IoM Fantasy Football!
This year should be exciting. There will be a few changes:
1. Teams will be limited to 12 this year...
14 is too damn many... so let me know ASAP if you want to play.
2. Scoring will be a bit different but I'll highlight those changes
Let me know via mudmail or e-mail if you want to play,
since we'll be limited to 12 this year former teams will get first
crack at playing this year.
Thanks and good luck...

Just an information. When Slayns Abomination died he dropped a
facemasher, Slayn got stuck in hell and Pippirull came by and stole
his masher and sold it to me. As me and Slayn think it STINKS Slayn
tried to talk to Pippirull about it but he thinks that just cus he
found it it was his, and no money back.. So whenever if you ever
thinking about dealing with Pippirull allways ask who he stole the
item from, who knows, might be YOUR friend!

I also think that what you find on the ground is yours to keep. This
mud is so 'safe'. I like what is left that makes it thrilling. Like
you can lose eq from your familiars, from your disc, if you goof etc
etc. In my book it is rude to point fingers at Pippirull. Do you all
love your eq that much? Of course I am insane, I kept muding with
store eq up to 1G. But do you not acknowledge the fun part in the
thrill and risk of losing stuff? **

You won't find it very funny when you put alot of time and effort
into something, then someone comes buy and takes your stuff, and
then acts like a total ass about it. Many people don't like players
like that here. Maybe the mud is safe but as it is, people pay to
keep using their eq now. People should be nice.

No i dont, i get pissed when ppl take my stuffs and sells them away. its called STEALING, as it does in RL, you go to the station and say, i found this and you get a small amount from the owner cus you are nice and give it back, only thieves takes it and are happy about it. But as it seems that is the nature of you.

How can you even consider bringing back pk when you get sad of losing eq?
Yes loosing eq is very sad, couse you made an effort of getting the gold to it.
but loosing your char is very much worse :) couse you spent many hours of "building" it and such.

I find it very rude to keep it. but theres no law agianst such, but i want to advice peopel to pick it up, make a post in general or something that tells that youve found an item and youll give it back for the description of what item and where he/she lost it. . . .

i guess if one wanted to take risk on giving one's familiars decent
equipment, one should have to face a consequence, such as someone
taking it if they find it on the ground after a familiar drops it
thus being the point of the familiars dropping the equipment in the
first place?
sorry you lost your equipment, and a suggestion might be that you

In my opinion Pippirull is entitled to grab the eq and sell it. Belgarion is entitled to whine about it. A wiz can very well make Pippirull suffer for it, or let it pass. Anyoneone can ignore Pippirull if they wish, to punish him. It's part of the game, that's why _I_ love this game. It's alive!

uhmm what crash problem? best I can tell we have had 1 maybe 3 crashes
in the last week.
I am guessing at 2 of those being crashes, its entirely possible
that Khosan had to boot early since I wasn't here I cannot
comment.
We did just move to a new machine, new OS and are struggling with
a few things with the driver but I have not seen a major
problem.

I for one fail to see the problem with someone dropping eq, someone
else picking it up and selling it. Sure it's not probably the most
morally acceptable thing to do, but hell... I'd do the same thing
if I found some eq lying around. I'm just that much of a selfish
bastard.
Pippirull might not have done the most honourable of things, but
that doesn't mean that you can go around bashing him in the news.
Thank you. Drive through.

Well, I don't know about morale, but morals are generally seen as a
good thing. But then, the last couple of years in general have
indicated that players don't give much of a damn for morals around
here.
So, next time, go with the flow. Or reinc. Your choice.

The funny thing is, there was all this crap about Pippirull only
because he was honest and open about it. There are a lot of
jackasses on this game that run to where necros died to try to grab
eqps. Probably some of the people you've partied with often. It's
kinda pathetic really.

Could possibly be a firewall/portblocking problem, although I would
think that would just reject the connection, not cause it to time
out.
We are going to need more specifics of your situation to help,
otherwise, no, there is no way to play without being able to
connect.

As far as I know, like what Marvin says, it could be a firewall problem. Reason: My mum's place got this new firewall, and after that, I couldn't connect via java or telnet to IOM, but I could still go to the website. It does give the same thing: Connection timed out.

connect via java or telnet to IOM, but I could still go to the website. It
does give the same thing: Connection timed out.
Some firewalls will block off connections to non-standard ports.
3000 and 10000 aren't usually standard ports. Websites (http) use a
standard port, I think it's 80, so that's why you can get to the
webpage. There's nothing you can do about it unless you have access
to the firewall

Communist's praise post about "highbies always being nice to
newbies" (ha ha) inspired me to post about one good reason
why being nice may be somewhat rare.
About a month ago, a newbie approached me with a sad, sad story
of desperately wanting to reinc into the new necromancer
guild but being unable to do so due to lack of money.
He gave me a long story, at the end of which he asked me for
$2m gold to help him reinc. He also told me that it wasn't
that much money because "Highbies have all the money in
the world".
Ok, so he's right. But after promising that it was a "loan"
and that he'd pay me back, he has not. Further, he's been gone
for almost a week now...perhaps even changed character names and
is working on building up a new one...who knows.
Did it affect me to the point where I wasn't able to get
money back or afford training? No. But it's examples of
things like this that lead highbies like myself to assume
all newbies are tending to "
"play you" that leads to newbies being placed on ignore, or
told to do it themselves, or whatever other response there is
out there.
People like this character of whom I speak are the type that make
helping others out on the mud usually more of a hassle than
anything else...
And who knows, perhaps he's continuing to get money from other
highbies in whatever form he's taking these days...
Just so newbies understand the position we're in and why people
aren't always quick to help.

I wanted to follow up Waz's post and also say that the assumption
that highbies have all the money inthe world.
Though I berley fit into the highbie bracket, I do want to say that
with shit like having bought 50M of eq for my set, and ~800k to
repair the whole thing everytime i repair (which is when almost
everything is at like new), I barley manage to have more than 4 or
5M at a time, and things like ME reincing etc take that up.
Sure we ahve people like nez around who have shittons of gold, but a
lot of us are still living 'paycheck to paycheck'
moreso with 0 eq parties recently

Please contact me about this person and let me know who

I suspect this is a pattern of repeated behaviour we have seen in
the past. You are the third person I have heard this same story
from just recently.

First, thanks to Waz and Korthrun for your comments.
Personally, I am not in favor of highbies loading up newbies with
their gold or constantly dragging them; that would not enable
newbies to fend for themselves. In the end it hurts them rather
than help them.
But what I can't understand is the attitude some highbies (I won't
point fingers or anything here) have where they deliberately try to
mislead or make fun of new players.
Sometimes there are new players who curse a lot or annoy other
players by begging for gold/exp/eq and those don't deserve much
sympathy in my opinion, but when you have newbies who are honestly
trying to learn more about the game and showing a dedication to
improvement I think it is appropriate to at least give them the
correct information or not rip them off by selling overpriced eq.
Newbies don't exist for our entertainment or to be taken advantage
of, although to some that may not be so clear.

You're absolutely correct, which is why I propose we create a new
channel for newbies where they can ask questions and get assistance
from highbies and wizards without having to worry about getting
false or misleading information.
Maybe we could call it the 'newbie' channel or something similar?
Just a suggestion.
//Beav
p.s. maybe we could also add it to the newbie tour so newbies
would know where to go to get help?

This is my last post on the subject.
I told Slash that he did not have to pay me back, I neither want nor
need the 2m he took from me. He owes money to at least 2 other
people I am aware of, and yesterday reported a score to me of almost
8m gold in the bank. Now, when another person he owes money to
logs on and asks him for it, he's down to 600k and 'working on it'.
Meantime I've been watching him look for eq all day on sales.
Be aware of who you deal with, people. Not only is he in the habit
of ripping people off, he has given younger players that much harder
of a time getting help when they really need it.

Okay, I'll bite. Why? I'm interested in hearing arguments on both
sides, to be honest, especially where I tend to think of things more

Well i posted it mainly because i have had quite a few people ask me

i have only just started playing as it again, the last time was when
i was frozen.
It is just a change when i am bored, i discovered the joys of

gettin the small amounts of exp that seem huge to a newb.
Anyhoo, it was mainly cos i was bored and i don't need people asking

Umm...boredom is far from an adequate reason. And there are other
ways to indicate to people who your secondaries are, if you wish to
indulge them with that infromation, like in your finger information
for all your characters if you wished, or even your title, but that
might suck a lot (your away?).
I am rather certain that there are good reasons for this, and
against it. I'm still curious.

it would be a good idea to show in some way who is who's secondary...

What about a "who secondary" command, that just shows registered secondaries?

If someone wants it known who their secondaries are, they are quite
welcome to do so via mudmail, tell, say, plan, or other means. Since
secondary registering is considered madatory by the mud rules, I
personally don't see why one should also be required to also share
that information to people whom it doesn't affect - other players.

I also don't see why we should have a method in which players can
see who anybody's secondaries are, as some players might not want
others to know they are a secondary.

I have to agree here. If I were playing a secondary, I wouldn't
want to be associated with this name, asked to switch to rev
someone, etc. Besides, the rules lean towards keeping secondaries
as seperate as possible from primary characters, not sure why we'd
move away from that.

I'm still not understanding where this is steming from?
Adminstration can know, certainly, but why do the players need to
know? Seems to me the whole point is to have a character you can use
to get away from the crap associated with the bigger ones. Maybe I'm
wrong, but I see no need for anyone other than wizards too see who
your secondaries are. Persoanlly I believe it would lead to more
people having unregged secs just to go back to the annonimity.
PS. I still have no idea the purpose of this debate and why it's
become an issue to the players to know who thier fellow players
secondaries are.

Possibly. As fast as the driver was leaking I am not sure it would make
a difference.
I don't think its a 'plaguing' problem. It is problems with
a few particular items. Most important right now is do not stand
around your castle rooms or leave rooms with safes open.
I have already said that we are working on things and that I will
reimburse those with losses for those few that have mailed me.
but again it may take some time my last 3 days have been spent in and
out of emergency rooms and doctor's offices so please don't expect
immediate turn around.
Its a bit slow going because there are only 3 of us actively working
on the changes that need to be made and we all have real life obligations.

Gah, I forgot they were using a 64-bit OS. There's the 4GB limit
out the window. So the mud server should be fine with however
much memory can be put in the motherboard, which should be more
than 1GB. Hmm...unless it only has 2 slots and has 2x512MB in now.
I'm rambling. The theoretical maximum memory for the CPU in the
mud server is, IIRC, 16 Exabytes. Which is pretty silly. Insert
joke about 640KB here.

It seems from reading the help botting file that a yellow mist recast

The motherboard has only two slots with 2x512MB in it now...
So the only thing I said, was that to upgrade we have to toss
out the 1 GB we already got, making it extra expensive.

For people who don't know costumes are located in cs, if you see
funny names its someone in a costume. To get a costume go to cs,
look at altar, find the one you want, then get costume from altar.
It goes on your head slot so take off whatever eq is in that spot to
wear it. Enjoy! Also Halloween area is located in cs if you enter

Just felt like i should whine about the new room cleanup system. I
had a bounty on a resistance fighter, so of course i put up mist
form and proceeded to smite him. After smiting was complete, I went
and killed more mobs in the area since my mist form was still up and
I could not pick up my bounty token. Upon returning to the room
after mist form had fallen, my token had disappeared. So basically
wondering if we can either allow mist mages to pick up bounty tokens
in form, or change cleanup
to not include bounty tokens.

Just wanted to follow up on this. I am sure a lot of people are
slightly annoyed at the 'problems' they have seen in the mud
over the last few weeks.
With the massive changes we have made internally to the mud and what
its doing the problems have been minor.
Before these changes the mud was easily using almost 1gb of memory by the time
we rebooted in 24 hours causing the mud to be swapped out to disk and
causing huge problems.
We also had greater than 140k objects in memory.
With the changes we have gotten that down to 370M of memory this
boot and only 20k
objects in memory.
It has been a little painful but the mud is running much better due to
what we have done.

Not complaining or anything ... same thing happened to me ... I died,
and when I got back to the area in ~3 min, the token disappeared.
Also, keys & potions tend to disappear very quickly as well.

(this is mostly to make room for my own personal website, coming soon)
2) Equipment Section:
Updated all the stats I had, including halloween eq.
3) Guild Section:

(feel free to mail me any info you want to share or correct)
4) Guild Section:
Updated the spell/skill message section.
(feel free to mail me any messages you want to share)
5) Guild Section:
Updated several of the guild locations I was missing.
(still need a couple more!)
6) Paths Section:
Updated each island with all the paths I had in my mudfiles.
(feel free to mail me any paths you want to share)
7) Reincarnation Section:

8) Reincarnation Section:
Gave recognition to Matt for the reinc helper.
9) Misc/Other Section:
Updated info on the pigeon hunt event.
10) Monster Section:
Added this new section. As of yet, there is no info though. I intend to
start compiling a list of monsters on each island, their base exp worth,
and their alignment. However this probably won't happen for a month or
two.
That's it for now. As always please send me any additions, ideas, corrections,

The java client uses 14-point Courier, which is a fixed-width font.
This is hard-coded in, so there's no option to change it. It sounds
as if your browser may be forcing a particular font upon the java
client. What operating system and web browser are you using?

I can't explain how important John Peel was in directing me towards
"real" music. For sure I would never had picked up a guitar. The

yes, an explenation would of been nice or would still be also
however i myself feel that this is highly unfair
highly unfair to people who get a lot of their equipment from that
island, int and wis especially
highly unfair to the people who may have dedicated many many hours
to get specific piece or pieces from what i feel to be some of the
hardest mobs in the game that happen to be placed on oddworld
some may ask why this is unfair, from one perspective of this tune,
there are the people who either dont care cuz they dont play often
or those who dont care cuz they have never dedicated much time to
get a certain piece of equipment.
another perspective is of those who have spent many hours to get
some equipment in the game or for their own use.
being a part of both sides of the perspective i can say that, this
doesn't effect me in anyway cuz i dont play much, but then i can say
that it does effect me greatly cuz i have a lot of equipment from
that island most of which i had to use a lot of time to get.
really, it's hard to explain to people that dont care cuz they
haven't been in the situation, how unfair it is, so i'll wrap this
up and just say it could be -fairer-
it could be fairer by a simple removing of gugnar and pyroclasts.
this way.. everyone has to go about collecting pieces again
it could be fairer by reinstating the ability to repair oddworld equipment
to single out oddworld eq is kinda lame, if you go to any island,
i'm pretty sure you can find a few things that are "out of theme" on
each of them, hell .. we have events that are "out of theme" *cough
carebear invasion*
that is going by the "medieval theme" we're supposed to have (but don't)
in any case, an explenation on this would be nice for i am a little
blinded in this post, it could be a total different reason than
theme.
thanks and bye

The clerk takes the Red strappy dress and disappears into a back room.

Are there -that- many items of this nature that renaming them is a
problem. This argument about not wanting to mess with someone's
area doesn't fly. You -are- messing with someone's area. Tell me
the difference between renaming and restatting eq that makes one
messing with an area and one not messing. Yes, when you make it
non-repairable you are restatting it.
I know that, while this policy is in place, neither Malifix nor any
of his secondaries will -ever- buy any oddworld eq again.
Might as well just take the eq out of the game for what it's gonna be worth.
Is a blue fuzzy slipper any more bizarre than a golem brain? When
are we gonna hear that the golem brain is non-repairable as well?
It's certainly not in theme to be running around with a brain on
your head. I'm sure others can come up with similar examples of
non-thematic eq from locations other than oddworld.
I'm afraid the non-thematic genie is already out of the bottle and
you are not gonna be able to put it back in. All it will accomplish
is to further exasperate the highbies who actually still play.

i really tend to agree with malifix, i was trying to point out in my
first post all of what malifix has in the recent post. there is just
so much out of theme equipment and many other things out of theme...
that we really dont have a theme to go by
i honestly feel that if the theme was so important, these "outta
themes" shoulda never been allowed into the game to begin with
and to try "put the genie back in the bottle", it makes situations
upsetting and mostly needless
i haven't really heard anyone complaining of theme lately, it seems
players and the wizards who create these outta theme things are
pretty satisfied with them. but then again i'm not on 10k or behind
the scenes.
as a final thought i'd like to say if strives are going to be made
to 'fix' the theme of the mud, maybe the strives should reach
further than just a single island?
thanks for posting an explenation on the situation.

okokok, the amount of work to 'fix' this one island is pretty simple
atleast as far as i could imagine, i've never seen the code..
all you have to do is have pyro guy check the directory the eq
has come from (all islands are in different directories)
to change everything... would require soo much more work
changing descs also requires more work then a few lines of
code.. although not much
and as marvin said its not just about one island being out
of theme, its about everything being out of theme cuz players
only wear topslot eq
this created a theme for the mud.. crossdressers anonymous

I suggested renaming the last time this issue popped up. The
creator of the pieces in question didn't want them renamed. The admins
covered the issue of renaming in the inform post, too.
The whole island does seem a bit of an imprecise target, but
maybe it's impossible to target specific pieces of EQ as not
being pyro-able without changing how EQ is handled.

I completely agree that it is silly to be running around in dresses
and heels, which is why I have refused to wear those pieces of eq.
However, There are only 5 or so pieces I can think off of hand that
have said rediculous names/colors, and there is a lot of legit
pieces. As a builder I would be completly willing to go through the
pieces and apply the no-pyro code to them. It just seems silly to
apply this change to every single piece on oddworld, when only a
small handful deserve it. Think about Eye of the beholder, Satan's
pentagram, Mak Toshan's gear, etc.

Please change the following in "help first_area":
- Keep in mind the theme of the mud, unless you are going to put
your area into 'odd world'.
To:
- Keep your area in tune. For instance all top slot
EQ should be D&D-centric, militaristic, masculine,
and able to be seen as powerful by the naked eye.
*cough*
This anti-oddworld thing seems really silly and the people who
killed for the EQ did not kill a description, they killed a
monster with stats that were equal to the level of the EQ
they held.

OK, that means there's an easy solution. Strip all eq descs and
just number them.
Where did you get that "masculine" from? In fact, where did
you get any of the paragraph from?

i do have a question though.... Stuff like green flowing dress.
This kinda stuff is magic oriented, who said that things that
enhance your mind's power have anything to do with "looking"
powerful, isnt that the point of enchantments and crap?
So why would a nice dress a good looking sorcress might wear that
has been enchanted with god knows how many things to specifically
enhance their magic power, not their defensivness, be out of theme?

for what its worth I agree in chrono in saying that if some of these
are so out of theme how did they get approved?
I know some of the things on oddworld were around in the time of
Darkstaff and what have you, just before peopel really started
paying attention to that stuff
I know that most the eq in question comes from an area that has been
put in since then
Im not trying to accuse anyone of mishandling the mud, but I am
curious, if its such a big deal why allow them in?

The "out of whack" areas were all around the mud before and were
since then removed to the new oddworld domain to maintain at least
some theme.
The question of out of theme eq has been on the table before, but
it is only now that we've decided to do something about it.
We've always been somewhat loose when it comes to keeping things
in theme and the point here is that the oddworld eq should not be
top slot. That's where we've decided to draw the line.

date: Sun Oct 31 15:44:15 2004
I think the one thing that many people are missing is that eq
doesn't decay THAT rapidly, and you can still repair it, can't you?
The crossdressing vampire stuff is still really good statwise, and
if you buy it/dice it/whatever, you can still use it for a long long
time. Just not forever. That's really the only difference, and I
don't see why everyone is in such an uproar over this, aside from
the fact that the change affects a lot of "in theme" eq as well.
Perhaps as an alternative to making all of Oddworld unpyroable, the
wizzes could ask some willing players for a list of all the "out of
theme" eq they can think of, and then change those to be unpyroable.
Then it's not island specific and is in general a much fairer
alteration.

well wagro, this is an attempt to get rid of the topslot nature on
those 5 pieces, how many higbies run around in beholder/satan gear,
and whens the last time mak toshan was killed(i always like killing
him). While i don't fully agree with the decision to make any eq
non-pyroable, i can also understand why its going in place. And
while it sucks, since i was a stat whore when i played, and have
quite a few oddworld pieces in my blaster set, it won't be that much
of a bitch to replace it.
grant it i don't have the urge to do any more eq, but if i did, it
owuldn't be that hard
again, i'm just a useless whore, discard my thoughts as if they
streamed straight out of a pigeions anal cavity.

Because it's a modern USA style dress.
It would probably bother the admins just as much if the

well i would like to make another poitn in this, we say, we dont
want dresses or heels or dresses at all, but have you thought about
all the GRRRRLS in the game?! maybe maybe the grrls want a green
flowing sexi dress, and when it gives stat bonueses she will be
v.happy :) also, anoter point, if we consider the mobs that wear
those items, they are GRRLS so they kinda is allowed to wear GRRL
eq, if you dont like wearing other sex thingies, change sex for only
10k!!!
kinda easy then.. allthough there is a wrong in the society, grrl
have lots of cloths men arent' supposed to wear, but does men have
that manny items grls shouldn't wear? exept underwear? well anyway,
make more top isze kick ass MALE mobs if you want more top kick ass

This wrong is not in society, it's in boys who are too

Oh, I agree with you, and I don't think the government is to blame
at the heart of the matter. But as said user mentioned, as a result
of the incident she now has an FBI file and could be subject to
wiretapping or be forbidden from flying, etc. etc.
Regardless of whether you think that's a good or bad thing or who to
blame for it, I think that her basic message is of value and should
be passed around: people do have a right to say things like that,
but they should be aware that there can still be consequences for
it.
And people do tend to assume that they can say whatever the hell
they want on the internet and none of it will ever come back to
haunt them: just look at all the crap that gets spouted around
here.

Well define unfair? You are the one who tried to drag both of thier names through the mud not long ago. It is not the fault of a real friend for
sticking up for them friends. What you think is unfair is you tried to ruin 2 other people and you ruined yourself instead. I cant speak for others but i dont take kindly to people who run peoples names through the mud when they wernt there to defend their selfs. I see nothing unfair about what you are going through you asked and bought it all on yourself. This is just my opion
and dont really care who agrees and who doesnt.

Is it just me or is the entire mudd lagging. I am guessing that it is me because there are alot of active players whenever i am on. Often I cannont even get on in under a few mins and when i do its too slow to really do anything. Is there a connection problem with Portal perhaps that i am unaware of? I dont believe that it is my connection because I am using a broadband connection. Any advice or ideas would be helpful.

Your broadband connection means nothing. all it means is that you
are faster from you to the first router. After that any single
router that is lagging means you lag just as badly as
everyone else.
Want to see if its the mud type mudlag.
Want to see where you might be having a bottleneck at

subject: Can't We All Just Get Along?

I'm seeing lots of prejudice against necromancers and I'm feel very
disturbed by it. I would like to say something about it, hopefully
it will spark debate to get this problem solved, but please, I
repeat, PLEASE MAKE YOUR COMMENTS LOGICAL , PRACTICAL, AND USEFUL!!!
Saying necros suck doesn't absolutely nothing. And also read
everything before you start flaming please.
First of all, it is an official guild, created by a wizzie just like
every other guild, so it doesn't lack behind any other guild in
terms of legitimacy. It may be tuned, but for right now there's no
plans for it to be scrapped, so hating the players is quite
pointless.
For those that feel this guild is tol powerful, I remind you that
this is a guild that you must raise with time and patience. You're
basically dragging newbies around and raising them to become
powerful warrior/mages. The guild is by no means easy at the
beginning, most of the minions on the guild minion plaque are around
1/2 mil, and that's on the top 200 plaque... almost 200 more were
removed from the plaque today iirc. This guild is designed mostly
for progression, though worth helps, it is not as vital as the
actual effort spent within the guild. The most important parts of
this guild include guild rank and minion worth, both are hard earned
by any player.
True, we do tune areas quickly, but we're not tuning any faster than
anyone else would if they are able to kill them as xp. When I was
shifter I single-handedly(I never saw anyone else there, ever)tuned
the obelisk down to dirt... The tuning down is the same, only the
worth of the mob tuned.
We're tuning mobs that normally would be taken on by parties, but
each necro is a party in itself, xp is distributed between all
members, so necros aren't getting those mob xp for free. We're not
making the mud imbalanced, tuning on the mud will always stay near
100%, so if all the 200-400k mobs get tuned, that means the lower xp
mobs would be a bit higher in response. With the number of new
players we have in the mud, the tuning would happen ultimately
anyway. Areas like talos was tuned down before by parties and now it
will be again, by necros or not, they'll be tuned.
In parties we do leech a lot of experience, but we also so more than
most single members. We break spell/skills, we blast using four to
three minions as well as our own, and we even vuln. We can be very
useful in eq parties if players aren't so hardheaded as to not
consider the benefits against the drawbacks.
We have so far been treated like we intentionally destroy areas just
for the fun of it, when in truth we're playing as much as any other
player would. Players have refused to sell to necros, raised price
to necros, insulted them, looted them, and threatened them. If you
want to do something useful, make suggestions that are PRACTICAL and
not utter some profanity toward us and cover your ears. Treating us
badly wont help the mud change in any way. If this kind of things
continue there will ultimately be pointless vendettas set up among
the players where nothing's accomplished except loss on both sides.
In conclusion, what we are able to do, we've earned it. Necromancers
can become powerful, because it has a different concept, as the
dragons did before them. If you feel it is too easy for us, reinc in
and have a look before you jump to conclusions. Direct your concerns
in a reasonable and orderly fashion instead of acts of spite.

OMG ROFL, i'm an idling whore and this is hilarious, ROFLAFLLOAFOL, omg, ahaa
i create more spam than necros, etc, etc. and the good necros put
alot more on the line to maintain good rates than any normal player
lets see, normal player dies with 80megs on they lose 20megs? well
if a necro dies with 80 megs on, they lose 20megs, they lose the xp
on their pets(a ton) and they risk losing the top slot sets they
have on their pets to keep that rate
christ, the latter is the worst, bitches

I think it's the usual thing. Necromancers are different, therefore all the
problems are their fault. It was Dragon Lords a while back. Maybe a
different bunch of ignornant fools this time, but it's the same crap.

I'd hesitate to recommend it myself, and I've been in the guild
for 104 days. You start of crap, regardless of your worth. You
stay crap for a long time. I am still crap. You run huge risks
every time you play, unlike any other guild (eq loss, etc). Playing
necromancer is like playing with Time of Death hanging over you all
the time. Any death may result in the loss of some or all of the
eq on all of your minions, which might well be the equivalent of
two full sets, or even more. That's without the huge exp loss, far
greater than any other guild.
The main advantage of necromancer is a sense of progression for high-worth
players. Well, for any players, but it's the only way high-worth players
can get a sense of progression. No more 500M exp needed just to get to
a skill or spell that isn't quite completely useless. It's a different
guild, which makes it interesting to old-timers.

subject: What is the problem with necromancers?
date: Mon Nov 22 06:14:29 2004
No doubt this post will get deleted, but what the hell.
A simple question. Does anyone care to attempt to make a
vague attempt at a possibly not completely irrational answer?
Have you people mistaken "necromancer" for "necrophile"?
Ixtlilton intended this guild tree to be far riskier than any other.
I do not think he intended players to be reviled and attacked
in any way possible. Comments about the risks being intended
should be directed straight to /dev/null as they are mere
a comment on lack of knowledge of the situation than on the
guild itself.
I accept the intended risk of losing EQ by not being able
to recover it. All you whiners don't have to put up with
that risk in your guilds. That should give you a clue.
I accept the risk of some greedy player getting lucky and
helping themselves to my eq.
Those risks, I think, were intended.
What we have is people scanning the death channel, waiting for
a necromancer to die so they can rush over and take the other
player's equipment. The motive is not even greed and boorishness.
It's an irrational hatred of necromancers.
If you don't think it's irrational, here's your chance to
give a rational reason.

The sloat rift, to trigger or not to trigger. Here is a progression
of ways to do it. You can walk it while keeping all the info in your
head, or you could write down info on a piece of paper to keep track
of it as you map the rift. Or you could acknowledge the digital age
and write it in notepad or something similar, maybe even with walk
in front of it so you can get back quickly if you fall back. You
could go a step further, and put the info into some variable or
similar for the client, and press a button if you ended up at the
beginning or an alias to get back to where you were. Another step
further would be to have the client find out where you ended up when
you walked wrong, so the alias/button only gave a walk from there to
the place you were mapping. Even further would be to have the client
walk you back there itself when you walked the wrong way, without
the press of a button (a somewhat more high tech version of a cs to
gemshop walk), the next level would of course be to also let the
client do the trying of ways and mapping itself, instead of you.
Now these here words represent the navigating of the sloatinok rift
in ways ranging from the obviously legal, to the obviously illegal.
I was wondering, since a wiz said something about illegal sloat
navigating, that he or some other wizard could inform us exactly
where the line goes, to avoid people mistakenly stepping over it.
(and please don't just point to the rule saying that it is illegal
to have the client play for you, since the measures mentioned above
are slowly moving from one to the other, and at least for me, it is
not clear cut where you would draw the line)

A couple of things:
1. The wizard was Zifnab. It's not like he was hiding.
2. You don't need a wiz to tell you if you're crossing the line.
When they send you a tell and you don't respond, you're crossing the
line. Out of all the ways you mentioned in this post, only the last
one would put you at risk of this transgression.
3. You smell guilty. Off with your head.

Okay being friends to both involved Ill try and stay as fair as possiable.
First I do think it was unfair for seb to be nuked b/c of all this the truth is if it was anyone but him he wouldnt have been. The wizzes have been looking for a reason to nuke him since day one and being he was doing nothing wrong they couldnt figure how to do it so they took the first way they come to. As
far as what he did lets face it if anyone on mud told me they had something from a wiz my first words would be your a lieing ass not believe it soooo
as i see it seb got nuked for someone not thinking before they took action
or someone just thought they would give this info to a wiz knowing or hoping to start trouble. The whole thing isnt right! Yes if he broke rules then get rid of him but for this is stupid. To get nuked just becouse
some of the higher people dont like you for something youve done in the past?
Havent we all asked for other chances? As i see it he did nothing wrong but try and get someone who was running thier mouth about him to admitt to it,
if you cant say it to the person themselves then why say it at all?

I have freely admitted this. If it had been almost any other
player they would not have been nuked.
Sebastian has been nuked by his count 7 times previously (Sorry
I had been saying 8 but I was wrong. I made a note of the
number when he said it and I went and checked).
Any normal player would have received a nice warning not to
spread rumors like that around. In fact I correct people on
channels about that crap almost weekly it seems.
Sebastian is no normal player. Look at his past record and
complete disregard for any mud rules. 7 nukings should say
all that needs to be said on that subject but of course
he claims they are all unjustified. Make your own decision
on that one.

I warned him on day one that I found out he was litho returned
that he was on extremely thin ice and if he stepped one inch
out of line he would be gone. He accepted that.
If I was looking for 'any' reason to nuke him I would have done it
right then and there. I for some stupid reason decided to give
him chance #8. As an addition to that right before I told him
I knew who he was he lied to another player about equipment he
was asked to hold onto. In fact that is exactly how my conversation
started with him. Asking him if he was up to his old tricks again.
IIRC said it disappeared in a bug when in reality he still had some
of it and had tp sacced the rest.
Again I had a reason right there if I was looking for any reason.

The telling of the player that a wizard sent him logs was the
last straw. I would have nuked that wizard (if it had been true)
for sending him logs the very fact that he was BS'ing about
them shows again his continued disrespect for this mud.
The behavior has been constant through his entire career here.
A complete disregard for _any_ of the rules of the mud and any
semblence of decency to those that play or admin the mud.
He has done everything possible to screw as many players as
possible and no one can dispute this fact.
> The whole thing

_7_ times in the past he has done things that we didn't like for the mud.
When is enough? When do we stop it? Please tell me your magic formula
for what to do. I would love to hear it.

He had many chances and a warning on this final one not to cross the
line. Guess what he crossed it yet again.

Hexus (first name I knew him as years ago) aka Litho and how ever
many other aliases he has had since, was one of my first friends on
here. However I have to agree with Zif's decision. I do not dislike
Hexus despite various differences we have had. Nor am I any more
innocent of crossing lines with the admins. They have given me my
fair share of chances too. Wizards do not get paid to babysit us.
They work hard for free here to create a place for people to enjoy.
A lot of people seem to take that for granted more often than not.
They give players lots of chances and try to be accepting of them. I
lied to the admin as most know blaming my sister for reincing my
worth away once couple of years ago (This incident is in no way
linked to me messing up splitting my bodies btw for all who keep
trying to push both into one incident). I came forth after lieing
about it that I had, even though I was 100% sure he didn't believe
my claim anyways. Zif could have nuked or banned me but he gave me a
chance to continue here. I have been grateful of that since. Maybe
Hex should have just enjoyed being allowed to play here instead of
trying to pull more crap. After all he was banned for some time once
before on top of all the nukings. Sometimes boundries have to be set
whether all agree or not.
Other wise how is it fair for anyone else? I know many people fealt
he should not have been allowed back as sebastian let alone litho.

back to normal now.... before if I type do 5 s, it would do s five times, but some reason it changed to as if you directl typed 5 s, so that if I had commanded 5 to something it would append s as the argument for 5... dont know if that explains it, but that was the problem.

Somehow, I cannot help but think that there is MIS here. That said,
if you thought there was a problem with a command, why wasn't there
a bug report? We use that to help us track issues like this. If
it's not an issue, we'll say so, but (and I believe I can say this
for all of us here), the inconvenience of having to close extra bug
reports, is FAR FAR preferable to not knowing an issue exists.
Now, when reporting an issue like this, it's very helpful to point
out the following:
* The command typed. It's very helpful if the exact command is given.
* Where the command was typed. That way if there are environmental
factors, we can come as close as possible to duplicating the
problme.
* What you expected to have happen.
* What happened. (Maybe a log).

I have started to keep tpsac values of equipment. However, to this day,
I have only sacced a total of like 5 items. With that said, these values
are pretty much going to be only as current as what I can gather from
other players. To start off though, Moridin has sent me a list of over
130 items and I have gone through my logs over the past 8 months and
found what values I could. And now, these values are now available for
your viewing pleasure. Please mudmail/email/snailmail me the correct
values for any items that are wrong or any items that have a ? value.
Please do not send me tells with any corrections/updates/additions. I
idle sporatically and a lot throughout the day and I no longer keep a
tell log/window because of stupid zmud display glitches. Feel free to
send me a tell to discuss anything else though, and I will respond as
soon as I can =).

For those who don't already know, a wiki is a collaborative webpage
that's open to be edited and improved by anybody willing to put in

So far it's got the barest start on a player directory and a set of

Due to a complaint about its unaccuracy, and its hardly obtainable
future accuracy, I decided to close it. (And I quite agree to it) My
main page will have the link to that page removed, but the page
itself will remains there. Refer to the page only when you desperate

Mean Kresselak? i said "us" not "me" I am not selfish. Mean is when someone steals your whole top slot fig eq and btw why does he wants his eq if he is not playing anymore?. Letz share and be good on this season or the real santa(not the mud one)will not bring anything to you.

Actually, since building your eqset is a large part of the fun one
experiences from playing this mud, Malifix not giving away his eq is
probably a more giving thing than handing it out to people. Besides,
he may want to come back someday =)

I want to start off by wishing everyone a merry Christmas.
Now, on to deeper stuff. Zifnab mentioned to me that, recently I
have done nothing but complain and I have to admit that's correct.
So I want to say this. I think that, for the most part, Admin has
done a great job. There are so many good things that they have done
(EQ saving on body, ticks/tocks in combat, second alphas to name but
a few). I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I thought
everything was rotton - it's not. So this is to praise those who
run this mud for all the good stuff they have done and to say
Thanks!
Also, this new stuff with the unlimited alphas looks neat, I'm sorry
I won't be able to check it out. (Yes, I still consider the
silliness about the 'out-of-theme' and the treatment of Friski to be
a show-stopper for me - and thats the only negative i'm gonna put in
this post)
So again, thanks to Admin for all the fun and Merry Christmas to all.

pseudoscorpions, millipedes, cave fish, beetles, bats, salamanders,

nothing that really gives out an abundance of useful information to
me, the simple coder who knows nothing of biology (especially
where`it doesn't directly concern me). any help would be

mail me a link or bug me when i'm on or something, or give me ideas
of what to put into the google search (yea, i'm that bad

cant really give a % with it, its kinda like gold, if your tax is
20% and you sac 1m its 10% and if its 15% 1m goes to 7.5%, but i
supose if your rich you could always reinc alot and keep saccing eq
to eje at the 20% mark :)

Apparently if you go through the IRS you can use programs like TurboTax
and others for free. (Whereas if you go to the TurboTax web site then
you end up paying 29.95)
If you have a State Tax then you might have to pay for that (go texas)
but federal e-filing is free. I'm sure most of you don't have to

i need a lot of information about high level necros. i need to know
what kind of problems you have, what kind of pros there are, what
you find difficult, what you find easy. i need to know your exp
rate, the size of the mobs that are killed, the difficulty in
killing them, which mobs are hard and why, stuff like that. i need
to know about summoning familiars, how much the masteries affect
things, which masteries you use, which skills you use, etc. i need
to know about the spells you use, etc.
i would also like people who have problems with necros as a guild to
send me mail telling me about what their problems are, how they are
affecting you or other players, what necros do that annoy you, and
other such things.
none of this is so i can reinc necro. i'm mainly curious cause i
hear a lot of complaints about necro, and such, and i wonder how
much of what i hear is true. i am also curious about the dynamics of
it, etc, so that i can make informed decisions in the arguments, and
possibly do my part to help the controversy via the builder port.
that doesn't mean i'm going to put out an area that unbalances the
guild, or even does anything good for it. it is mostly so that i
don't put something out that is going to be too useful /or/ totally
useless to the guild.
since that is the guild getting the most attention, and the one i
know the worst, it is the one i am currently asking about. if you
feel that there are strong problems are pros in other guilds or want
to discuss with me the dynamics of them, i will be happy to listen,
but i kinda know how they work a little better. that doesn't mean i
have my mind made up about anything.

Ok, I'm officially seeking help. I need people to give me certain
information, the people who could give significantly helpful
information will get credits for the new reinchelper.
1st: I need people to tell me how many levels of sorcerer would each
maxxed evoker bravo gives. It needs to be precise information, not
something like 'each bravo about 3 levels'.
2nd: I need to know how many levels of dragon master does each
mystic warrior level gives, again must be exact, not 'each mystic
warrior level gives 2 dragon master level or so'.
For the above things, please mudmail me with the information, even
if you know only a small piece (e.g. first level of mystic warrior
allows 1 level)... It would be good if someone takes note of this
when they do his/her sorcerer or dragon master reinc.

Hope to do them semi-regularly on Tuesdays. Eq party flavors will be TopEqs, pool eqs, and rare tp eqs.
Please mudmail me if you would like to join. If you are unwilling to do a particular type of party, include that in the mail. Hopefully we will be able to get into a routine where we can announce the party type in advance, but this week we'll just kill whatever we're able to. You should be of an appropriate guild and suitable size for eqs.

I have warned a few people that had borderline triggers and that
I did not catch in the act.
You healed gluuk 14 times when he sent you a certain tell.
From help botting...
#################
There are several other types of triggers that we do not allow.
>>> You may be active and at the keyboard and responding to wizard's tells,
>>> but still breaking the rules if you use these types of triggers!
The following is a non-exhaustive list of the triggers not allowed.
If you are thinking of making a trigger, and it is similar in concept, but not
exactly like one of these triggers, it is probably not allowed. Don't do it.
* Casting distant heal automatically when a friend sends a tell is illegal.
Pretty clearly spelled out isn't it? I mean come on.. you did exactly
what the help file explicitely says not to do how much more
clearly can that be written?
Please take your complaints elsewhere you were caught..
deal with the consequences

No. Every botter we have been able to prove without doubt, have had
this exact same punishment. Unless of course they did it before we
changed the practice - you used to get nuked (removed from the mud
permanently) straight away for botting.

I'd also like to add, for clarification, that botting doesn't mean that one
gets caught getting up to go get tea and forgot to turn off triggers or
whatnot. It's the fact that you CAN get up and go get your tea and
continue to play without any interaction from the player. It's still
botting, even if you're sitting at the computer and chatting with other
people.

subject: The Grudge
date: Sat May 7 04:04:47 2005
Reading all of the recent flames about one simple post of random2
brought me to thinkin that it seems people here hold grudges and
never let them go.
For example, when Zif flamed Draco. Yeah a lot of people though it
was funny I'm sure...but seriously, he was trying to stick up for
you, not speak for you.
And this scenario brings me back over three years ago, back when I
first tried doing ShapeShifter quests. I did the first few just
fine, who doesn't. Then I got to one and had the attitude that I
just want to play, not waste my time on these silly quests. What can
I say, it was over three years ago.
After asking for such help, getting bad advice, failing the quest
and botching my reinc, word got out that I asked for help. Before I
knew it I was banned from the guild & force reinc'd minutes later.
Luckily it wasn't at a 25% loss - I was given a minute or two to
scramble and sac. But I lost a sh*t-ton of time, gold/eq and exp in
the process.
And now, more than three years later, I decide that hey - I could
give these quests a try again. Sent an email to Admin asking if I
was still banned...this was a couple of weeks ago. I figured it'd
take some time, so I wait, and wait, and wait, and wait.
Come to find out that one of my clannies talked to Zif and sure
enough, he still held a grudge. In short, my request was just plain
ignored & backed by saying I have no respect for the guild, or it's
quests.
Again, this was over three years ago.
Anyone besides me seeing a cycle?
Anyway, this game has swayed a great, great deal from where it was -
years before SS even existed. It's the years of building friendships
with other players and even in some cases wizzes that keep some of
the older players coming back. But, without a doubt, the grudges
aren't let go.
At the time, I'm sure that some of the powers that be just looked at
the situation and said to themselves, "that person needs to grow
up." Welp, now I'm saying that.

A couple of things since this is directed at me.
1) Draco has repeatedly spoken as if he had direct
knowledge from one of us about how things work and what
our intents were. I have noticed a pattern of those
being wrong and said something. Probably shouldn't
have but I did.
2) I can dredge up the news posts out of the archives
if you like. You did more than 'just ask for help'.
You flat out posted in news that receiving help through
icq/aim/whatever was completely ok and hurt no one.
Daneel who happens to be one of the most reasonable
admin around here was ready to nuke you over it. Don't
take my word for it find it in the news archives.
3) Make sure to ask your clan mate about the mail I
sent to the rest of the admin making sure I wasn't
out of line and asking their opinions on it.
4) Daneel is the one that banned you. He is not around
lately so I am left to interpret his intent until
he logs in himself.
Please tell me how we are supposed to know that you suddenly
think its a bad thing to ask for help on the quests?

You seem to have totally missed my point. There is nothing 'sudden'
in regards to this seeing as how it was -three years ago.-
And yes, Wagro, everyone else saw that. Thanks for proving to
everyone how annoying you STILL are, hence the ignore.

ok gentlemen, let me introduce you to the "T" command. if used in
news, instead of following up and throwing a crap load of repeated
stuff, you can trim most of it off with that command and still
follow up just as well.
now, i dont know what is goin on with you two, you love eatch other,
you hate each other, no one really cares. replying with "I don't
think wagro is annoying. Your an ass" and "who are you?" and
"wouldn't you like to know" is something we can live without. you
wanna bitch at people, do it in junk or in tells. keep it off news,
these replies add no substance to the thread and thus are making
this thread very pointless and just overall annoying.
and in case your wondering, this is me asking nicely, i suck at
nice, i know, live with it, just please stop this useless posting.

speaking of useless posting, how would you classify yours?
is it useful? will anyone benefit from your sage advice?
have you ever looked up 'officious' in the dictionary?
did you know there's a picture of you there?
do i have anything in my nose?
do you like apples?

It sucks that you do this mudpolicing 24/7 cause now no one will
listen to you when you actually have something to say. That being
said, quoting a whole bunch of crap and saying "who are you?" is
a well known "leet" way of dissing people. Don't try to understand
the internet, it will blow your mind.

well then Kaos, it may be a "leet" way of dissing someone, but then
i believe that would be called a flame and is hence against the
rules set forth for usage of news. you dont like me policing the
mud? then how about you guys stop doing stuff that is against the
rules and then *gasp* i wouldn't have to! omgomg i know that is such
a strage idea for most people to grasp, but if the rulebreaking and
such stopped, i wouldnt have anything to say and would shut up

enough of that, i was just wondering how you can say that replys of
"i don't think wagro is annoying. Your an ass" and "whoe are you?"
and "wouldn't you liek to know" are somethings we can live without,
when you use all 3 in your single post. this must mean they are

ill let the admin deal with it when i see some actual dealing of the
situations done by admin. they focus on the big stuff like botting
and dont bother to watch for people breaking other rules. maybe once
they do or hire someone to do it for them i will stop.

im not 100% positive on this, so if it is wrong dont blame me, but i
believe sorc takes 3 B levels to get 3 sorc levels, then every
subsequent bravo gives 3 more sorc levels(this is using my memory of
evoker from when i was about 150m so about 2 yrs ago). ma iirc gives
2 lvls dragon master per lvl of ma, with the final 7 coming with the
final lvl.

i may have an answer to this problem that maybe was not considered
Tue Nov 26, 2002 quillz and anglemar were banned from the guild for
sharing info on shifter quests
May 3, 2003, Tektor was banned for sharing quest info on shifter quests
Mon May 3, 2004 Tektor is given access to the shapeshifter guild once again.
Mon May 3, 2004 Tuffgong and Scourge are also banned from guild for
quest info sharing on shifter quests
now, if you finger tuffgong, he is in the shapeshifter guild. I
think its totally unfair to allow everyone that has been banned back
in, except for Quillz. i think that if your going to remain keeping
Quillz banned, the ban on Tuffgong and Tektor should be reinstated.

Thank you again for telling us what to do Draco. Do you just not
get it?~e
Again please stop. I know those people were put back into
the guild.
Quillz's case is differant and if you don't see that please
stop telling us what to do because you have no clue.

Yes I did. The consensus was to let you back in the guild which I have
done.
Was it a abit excessive yeah. But what you did was also
very differant from what the other players that Draco
posted about did. Perhaps the reaction from Daneel was so strong
because you were the first I am not sure since he is not here
to ask.

You might consider taking everyone off of ignore if you plan to be
such an altruistic force on the mud...
I can tell you from personal experience that I cut my ignore list
from 30+ to 0 a few years ago and I haven't noticed a difference.
In fact... without my lax ignore policy, I would never have experienced

You know, I have considered it. Infact, my list hast been cleared
many many times from over 50+ to 0 several times, and the same
people that stay here continue to make it back on the list. I refuse
to take certain people off anymore. I have cleared some, but many I
just will not tolerate anymore.

subject: taking eq too seriously
date: Sun Jun 12 03:06:36 2005
Recent news story from Reuters, which I quote:
Virtual theft murderer heads for the slammer...
A Chinese online game player who stabbed a competitor to death for
selling his cyber-sword has been given a suspended death sentence,
which in effect means life imprisonment.
The case had created a dilemma in China where no law exists for the
ownership of virtual weapons.
Qiu Chengwei, 41, stabbed competitor Zhu Caoyuan in the chest after
he was told Zhu had sold Chengwei's "dragon sabre", used in the
popular online game, "Legend of Mir 3", the China Daily said on
Wednesday.
"Legend of Mir 3" features heroes and villains, sorcerers and
warriors, many of which wield enormous swords.
Qiu was sentenced to death "with a two-year reprieve", which in
effect means life behind bars. That, in turn, could be reduced to 15
years if he behaves well, the newspaper said of the sentence which
has angered the victim's family.
Zhu Huimin, the dead man's father, who is planning to appeal said:
"My son was only 26 when he died. He was sleeping when Qiu broke
into his home. He was barely able to put on his pants before Qiu
stabbed him.
"We want Qiu to die, and immediately."
Qiu and a friend jointly won their weapon last February, and lent it
to Zhu who then sold it for 7,200 yuan ($870), the newspaper said.
Qui went to the police to report the "theft" but was told the weapon
was not real property protected by law.
The court was told: "Zhu promised to hand over the cash but an angry
Qui lost patience and attacked Zhu at his home, stabbing him in the
left chest with great force and killing him."
More and more online gamers are seeking justice through the courts
over stolen weapons and credits, the newspaper said at the time the
case went to trial.
Wang Zongyu, an associate law professor at Beijing's Renmin
University of China, was quoted as saying: "The armour and swords in
games should be deemed as private property as players have to spend
money and time for them."
But other experts have called for caution. "The 'assets' of one
player could mean nothing to others as they are by nature just data
created by game providers," a lawyer for a Shanghai-based internet
game company was quoted as saying.
let's all keep a few things in perspective before going on another

Do you fight barehanded?
I tested a fig/ma reinc a while ago and it seemed to me that
ma combat skills only work if you aren't wielding anything,
this would include claws i would think.

the reason it was removed is because, in theory, you shouldn't be

Okay, since no one claimed they lost the item spoken of in my other
news post, it's been a reboot and I figure the item would've
disappeared, I'm keeping it. It wasn't a great item or anything,
just Blood Red Sandals, but if someone was missing it and lamenting
over it, I wanted to give them a chance to get it back. Thanks.

Earlier tonight Ixtlilton logged in drunk, or just in a bad mood, he
started jailing people for no reason, or for talking on myth,
whatever he felt like at the time i guess, not really sure, i
believe i responded to something wagro said on myth that had nothing
to do with ixt
And then i was jailed, along with all 5 of my familiars, i was
removed from the jail about a minute after going in, but my
familiars are actually still in the jail as i post this, it's
probably been 2-3 hours at least, i was in the middle of xps when he
jailed me :)
I was told by a couple of players this isnt the first time hes done
stuff like this, i guess i am just whining, whatever you want to
call it, but i don't think any admin should be able to log in
trashed and completely screw someone over for the rest of the
evening, or possibly several days, depending on when a wiz is able
to respond to my mails and tells

i couldnt recall them, so i've tried everything i can think of

date: Tue Aug 23 21:03:25 2005
Uno asked if I would "Commish" the Fancyfoot Ball for 2005, and
while I said that yes I do look eerily like Michael Chiklis, I
hadn't the faintest idea what he was mumbling about, at least at
that distance, what with his halitosis and my general disdain for
all things fungi; well, at least I assume that that blotch was
somehow yeast-related and his face wasn't normally quite that
particular shade of putrid, but then I had not been to that
particular quarter of the slums in some time, what with the tragic
monkey-dung freight spill of '02 still not resolved, so it had,
luckily, been quite a while since I had the pain of his acquaintance
and I couldn't be totally sure if that was typical or not, but that
yes, I would send out an invitation to all of the young ladies in
the kingdom in hopes of finding a suitable wife -- well, for Uno at
least, since for me, unless some sort of arrangement could be
reached with my current model -- and I think that it probably would
be best to have that sort of thing in writing and signed and
notarized, possibly by the president -- it would be unlikely that an
additional consort would be quite well received in my own particular
household at this time, although I am really not sure what all the
fuss would be about; but since Uno is clearly unencumbered by such
difficulties, or at the very least should be, or certainly will be
soon at any rate, that it is probably the best to go in that
direction at this point, especially considering that I have heard
that the usual participants in this ball when held in past years --
and I can easily see why this seems to be an annual event,
considering the nature of the 'prize' . can not entirely be
considered to have been composed of what are normally viewed to be,
well, girls, although as a group could be said to be more than a bit
femmy.
So, email me.

I'll post here because I'm curious if anyone has differing opinions.
The general rule of thumb is that a hardware firewall is more
effective than a software firewall. However, it seems to me
that software firewalls are getting better. I'm not sure what the
verdict is on the strength of the XP firewall.
I used a hardware firewall for a long time until something about it
began to disagree with some changes my ISP made (static to DHCP).
I unplugged it and turned on the windows firewall and i've been using that
for several weeks with no trouble.
I'm guessing a hardcore hax0r with nothing better to do could get at
my mahcine
but I passed the shieldsup test at grc.com so I'm content.
That reminds me, regardless of which option you go with, go to
grc.com and have them test your service ports. It's free, automated,
and in some cases can autorepair problems you might have with vulnerabilities.

Which is also my main disagreement with the built-in firewall in XP.
It doesn't block outgoing traffic. I think that's a serious flaw
in a firewall, which is why I turn it off.
Personally, I use Zone Alarm. It's a decent software firewall and it's
free from www.zonelabs.com The only setting up you need to do is to
turn alerts off, or else you will get alerts every 30s or so when
you are online as the firewall blocks things. It appears to work
well and is generally well reviewed. I've had it clash with one
game, which isn't at all bad (there was a workaround for it).
So I'd put another firewall on and turn the XP one off, then turn
off the blathering XP will do about you not having a firewall or
something (the Security Centre thing).

subject: the truth about inthali.
date: Tue Oct 4 05:48:10 2005
i'm going to ruin a nice little theory for you guys.
inthali is not out to help you.
bleh
inthali, is in fact, shorty the thief. how is this possible, you
say? i'll tell you.
time, as you know, is not stable. it is especially instable and
unreliable in islands of myth, because of various unexplained
endings and rebirths of the world as we know it, and the occasional
time where there is simply void for a few minutes. sometimes, we
don't even have a sun in the sky, or a moon. some freaky kind of
inbetween that can last til the end/rebirth. this is important for
the rest of the discussion.
inthali (shorty), tries to 'help' the people of islands of myth. in
reality, you lose some money and get a protection spell that may or
may not be useful to anything you wanted to do for the rest of the
day. the 'help' would be the same 'help' a mugger gives to a person
who looks encumbered with their gold.
bleh
i don't know how many of you have been watching the practices of
this 'inthali' character, but he/she (it's kind of ambiguous)
doesn't get much gold in this swidling practice of helping.
eventually, s/he gets upset and storms off, claiming to have an
'appointment'. how convenient that s/he has an appointment exactly
at exactly the same amount of time from the beginning of her work as
s/he does EVERY OTHER TIME S/HE 'HELPS'.
bleh
i followed inthali one day after s/he was done stealing money from
hardworking murderers, and s/he slipped into an alley and changed
clothes, into a dark little outfit. casting a spell on him/herself,
s/he became a small little leprechaun with a bad attitude.
here's where the problems with time come in. sometimes, shorty
doesn't show up immediately after s/he's changed clothes. sometimes
s/he shows up twice, and then shorty shows up. well, avid reader, i
can assure you that this is entirely because of the problems with
time. if you were able to (you aren't, don't try), you would see
that it is exactly the right amount of time between appearances to
keep up the fantasy of randomness... and yet one is led to wonder
how random you can consider something that has a definite duration.
in short, throw everything you know about logic out of the window
when it involves our world and time, unless your logic relies on the
illogicalness of it.
in short, shorty runs about stealing gold. sometimes a fair
adventurer (or an ugly one) will end shorty's reign of terror.
however, if you count up the gold, and consider the hundreds of
people in the world that are NOT adventurers, you will realize that
it is incredibly improbably that shorty is only stealing gold from
those of you that can count it. in short, you're being shanghaied
into believing that SOMEONE is getting back what you lost. foolish
mortal.
i challenge you to petition your local daemon leader and have them
consult the ultimate oracle of daemons, the event daemon. maybe he
can straighten things out.

Recently I tried Sygate Personal Firewall. It doesn't let programs
send information unless you say they can. (And you can tell it to
allow that program access automatically next time) and has decent
information in the window that informs you if you have crap that
is trying to send stuff out online without you asking it to.
However, I have not seen it block any incoming traffic, since it
doesn't block responses to what you send out and such.
and as for Windows Firewall, people who don't know what they are
talking about say it sucks. And people who DO know what they are
talking about say not to even bother using it, at all. And respond
to questions such as "It is better than nothing right?" with "Don't
use it."

I do not know if you want to count me in the group of people that don't
know what they are talking about or not.
But the buildin firewall in XP is quite ok for what it does.
Its weakness is that it is buildin, and therefore all that bad programs
knows they must defeat it. So you might not get the strongest possible
defense against attacks from "within". That is from programs you downloaded
yourself and choose to run on your computer.
But it provides appropiate protection against attacks from outside.
It is good enough for people, like me, that don't download and run
random crap from the internet.
And remember, no firewall will protect you against the next buffer
overrun in Internet Explorer.

K, I'm going into semi-retired stage (I'm already in)... Now I'm
come on once in a blue moon to play some games with you people...
I'll post a question once in a while, and there will be rewards.
Each question (or set of questions) will have its own rules.
So today's question comes:
REWARD: Gold reward: Invitation to a party, do a party dice. Reward
is [(your dice number) - (my dice number)] x 800 gold coins. Base
reward is 8,000 gold coins.
RULE: First correct answer to reach me ( AS MUDMAIL, NO OTHER MEANS
) gets the reward. Any means of doing so is allowed (bots, ask an
expert, buy an answer etc). I'll except ANY answer but non-perfect
answers will half the reward.
DISCLAIMER: I'll not be responsible for ANY damage of ANY kind done
to ANYONE involving AND not involving answering (or even
acknowledging the existance of this post) to the question.
QUESTION: Guess an item: You USUALLY can smell AND hear it, but you
can't taste, see and touch it.

You might be able to feel and see your own wet farts, but i'd be

you must have one messed up nose tahnval, because i have never
tasted a fart, let alone any other kind of smell
maybe its because i can breathe totally independant from my mouth
and dont need my nose for breathing, but yeah i dont taset what i

Ok, the answer is fart. As for the arguments you all had:
Do you say that:
"I saw a fart over there!"
"I could feel(physically) him farting onto me!"
"Your fart tasted sweet/bitter/sour/spicy/delicious/awful."
You're MUCH MORE LIKELY to say those below:
"I heard him fart loudly in the class, he doesn't know proper manners."
"OMG! He farted! I could smell it from the other corner of the room!"
Alright, Flamekrayt got it and I admit that I asked him to attempt
the question (but I did not tell him the answer)...
Next question (most likely a set of questions) should be here in
around 1 week time, so cya till then...

The statement put forth by one Tahnval is correct. You can taste
anything that you can smell if it is strong enough. The reason for
this is that you smell things by particles in the air coming in contact
with the membranes in your nose. Now, if those same particles were to
come in contact with your tongue, then you taste it. (Your nose, however,
is more sensitive to the particles as your tongue is designed to taste
things larger than particles, and as such unless it is a really strong
smell, you probably won't taste it) And closing your mouth does reduce
the chance of tasting something, however since the nose and mouth are
linked in the back, it's not guaranteed.
By first guess was a fart, but then I figured it was wrong because
not only can you taste them, and feel them when they come out, but
I wouldn't exactly count a fart as a 'thing'. If anything, a smell is many
tiny things floating through the air.
Until next week, this has been Mr. Science.

Don't let the riff raff get you down. That was probably

F
two things.
1) great question Highpriest!
1) great question Highpriest!
2) really makes you think twice about leaving your toothbrush open
to the air in the bathroom, eh?
it is pretty scary that by farting, you are perhaps
force-feeding shite to people within range
Personally, I have felt my tonsils tingle when catching a whiff
of the more heinous variety...
Luckily, we, as a species, have had to live with farting for a
long time and thus have evolved
the necessary protections to protect us from any seriously ill
effects. Small comfort, though
in the presence of the aforementioned "wet one".

You could do that, but the human immune system is strongest when
it's kept exposed to mildly dangerous bacteria. Ever noticed how
kids whose mothers tell them to play in the dirt seem healthier and
more robust than kids whose mothers keep them inside and wash them
15 times a day with antibacterial soap? Ever studied why? I have,
and the basic explanation is that the immune system is like a
muscle. Keep it working, and it gets stronger. Let it get lazy, and
the person's health suffers.
In conclusion, leave your toothbrush in the bathroom and fart
regularly. You'll be healthier for it.

Hello all, Q here.
I have a favor to ask of someone.
You see, I long to go back to Gem Blaster, but only have a few
pieces of eq to show for it. With all of the eq parties going on
lately, I feel that reinc'g to a blaste form w/ a set of eq will be
quite beneficial.
However, I only have neck+amulet+1ring+belt. If some generous person
would be willing to lend me most of a wis set so I could perhaps
reinc and join these eq parties, that person would then be rewarded
in due time (to be discussed.)
So, if you would be so kind/willing to think about such an offer,
please mudmail/tell me and the terms could be discussed from then
forth. Again, I would be more than generous if someone would lend me
the means necessary to binge eq.
Much love,
Q

ok... i know frith does this... does anyone know of another mob that
drops pieces of a statue? i think it may have been part of an eq mob
at some point. i'm not sure if it was taken out, or if it was never
put in, or if it was just never actually solved by anyone.
i'm hoping that reishar drops them. confirmation would be
appreciated. also, any eq mob (it'd probably be small) that you can
think of that you've actually seen drop a statue leg or whatever, i
would like you to email me who they are.
i'm working on this:
When Xandar finally reached the Dark Lord, only four of his
companions remained alive. These were Grithom, the Cleric of Mitra;
Reisharex, the King of Baldonia; Valkiona, the Queen of Ebona; and
a mysterious knight clothed entirely in crimson garments.
since i'm almost 100% sure i've seen frith (a cleric of mitra) do
it, i'm hoping these others exist and will do it too. i'm thinking
that whoever has the stuff now would be descended from those guys.
anywho, thanks in advance.
oh... and if any of you oldbies know anything about this being
something that was undone etc, plz lemme know.

and die slowly in my castle.
What I need from all of you, is a Good Story, a Good Reason, a Good

Thought this was kinda neat. See below. -Psycho
Coding Tool Is a Text Adventure
You're in a maze of twisty subroutines, all alike.
Now, thanks to a new software-collaboration tool, you and your intrepid party of fellow hackers can navigate your labyrinth of code and slay its dastardly bugs, all in a dungeonlike world similar to an old-school text adventure.
Called playsh, the new tool is a collaborative programming environment based on the multi-user domains, or MUDs, so popular online in the early 1990s.
Trying to do things in playsh is most similar to games like Zork from the 1970s. To go north, you type north. To examine an object, you type look. There are no graphics, just descriptions.
But instead of ducking grues and collecting zorkmids, you're interacting with whatever program code you're working on, as well as the data and hardware devices that it uses. "It treats the web and APIs as just more objects and places, and is a platform for writing and sharing your own code to manipulate those objects and places," says developer Matt Webb, who unveiled the tool at last week's O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego.
Playsh is inspired by the user-customizable variety of MUD called a MOO, for "MUD object-oriented." MOOs were like chat rooms, except the members of the community could create new objects by programming them into the virtual world in a dedicated programming language, shaping the game as it went along.
When you log into playsh, you see a basic description of the room and whoever is in the room with you. The current incarnation of playsh is written in Python, and each room has a Python interpreter built into it that anyone in the room can access. Adventurers contribute to the code while simultaneously interacting with the room's objects and each other.
"It's a laboratory for (user interface) metaphors," says co-developer Ben Cervany.
Webb came to the idea after trying to solve a difficult programming problem with his partner at consulting firm Schulze & Webb. "I don't work physically colocated with Jack (Schulze) a lot of the time, but we have to write a lot of code together," Webb says.
Ultimately, adding this sense of place back to the placelessness of the net is something Webb believes could have wide uses. He cites the example of online banking, which has struggled with fraud that takes advantage of the fact that naive users don't know where they are on the internet.
"Imagine using a bank where you move transparently between the automated and human-assisted interface because they occur in the same mode," says Webb. "The human can show you how to use the ATM, which is over at the side of the room".

I was going to post about this also but couldn't think of a polite
way to disagree.
Instead I'll voice support of Korthrun's response.
I remember when Bulzarath first came out as a seldom seen pool-q item that
I had 2 thoughts. The first one was "Cool, nobody knows how powerful
this is except me."
The second one was "I guess maybe the wizards are trying to promote
pool-Q by slotting
in a few really nice items."
It never really occurred to me that the item might be bugged or not
working as intended.
Why would it?
I think it's rather clever to use the average market price of an
item to analyze
for variance and identify out-of-tune items, but it seems to me that
is should be a
blameless process of quality control.
blameless process for quality control and not pejorative in any way.

into the game was something that was taken into account when they
were allowed in
as they were.
I think this was brought up on mud_issues at one point, by Warrowarr, altho it
never got a response.
I assume you have a list of pool drops. If you want a player to
spell it out for
you tho, which pool drops are uber, then drop me a note, and I will see if it
can't be arranged.

(a) Yes, and I don't believe you don't either. I'm sure you have a quick reference to a list that outlines tps for various pieces, and that is a direct measure of their power.
(b) Because the rules explicitly state that anything that seems too good to be true probably is, and you are responsible as players for noting it to the admin.
Hmm, at least they used to - I may have to fix that.
Pool items are never top-level equipment. They should never approach the power of things dropped by the likes of Tiamat or Lloth.
Some may be top-slot, if none of the few super-level monsters we have drop anything for that slot; but generally, you guys know how many tps things are worth; if something worth 5 tps sells for 4x something worth 10 tps, something's probably wrong.
As to going through all pool items, I did discuss this on mud_issues yesterday.
Though this has happened a couple times, in relation to the number of pool
items out there, it's a relatively small number. The requirements to document
specials on items such that we could prevent it/discover it ahead of time is
pretty prohibitive (as would be individually examining any special without
some heuristic to figure out the problem cases ahead of time).
On the plus side for you guys on this one, I'm not going to do anything further with it - I think this was discovered relatively early, and unlike the case of the Bulzarath (if that's the one I'm remembering), I haven't encountered any particularly egregious cases of people who really should have known better getting significant advantage from it.
But it all gets back to that (b) above - if it seems to good to be true, please let someone know. I'm always happy to check up on those sorts of things, and a simple mail will get it noticed quickly and easily (yeah, I had to do some painful searching through bug reports to actually make sure no one _had_ reported it before my last post :-)

I hope I'm proven wrong, but I look at the player base and I think the days of Naraku will soon be over (maybe doable come summer, but maybe not next summer). Recently it's common to see under 25 players on, half are idle, half are too small for eqs, and most of the rest are in non-eq guilds.
Realistically, not much can be done about that...but wizards should recognize that a lot of times pool parties are the best that can be pulled together. At least people enjoy doing it and manage to have some fun. Occasionally we get something worthwhile. I don't think the very slim chance at getting a useful (ie, top) piece off a 2M mob is going to ruin the MUD, but it might be enough to help keep players in eq-guilds. And it’s something to pass the time when there’s not enough players for bigeqs.
It's really hard to "abuse" something as rare as pools, and when someone gets something nice they almost always put in a disproportionate amount of effort for it. Usually after a few hours no one in the entire party gets any wearable eqs on a good day, maybe 2 people do. Some players refuse to pool because “it’s a waste of time”. So maybe a disproportionate reward is justified. In this case, the combination of two inordinately rare 3 tps objects rivals a 7tp object. I don’t think it’s unprecedented for a pair of 3’s to beat a 7 (no poker jokes!). Also eq prices on sales don't always correspond to thier tps. Quickeners (3 tps) have always sold for more than legendary focus crystals (10 tps) or helms of versatility (10 tps). It’s a supply and demand thing I guess. Stone gauntlets (2tps) are topslot, but frequently killed. So they cost under a million and glowing dragon eyes (2tps) cost a bundle. New pool eqs are even more rare and that’s part of why they’re so expensive.
The Wizards should decide for themselves whether there should be worthwhile pool items, cause it’s their job to decide how the MUD should be run. Players, remember that we owe them for pools in the first place (thanks!). Wizards should keep in mind that when people are out there pool eqing and having fun, it's because they think it's an enjoyable and worthwhile expenditure of their time. I think having pools (including very rare very powerful ones) is a good way to keep players entertained. And that’s what the MUD should be about.

I agree with ligea, prices don't vary with tp but more to supply and
demand market forces...
save
Powerful eq should not be removed, but if wizzes do think that the
eq are overpowered, they can raise the difficulty of getting that
piece of eq (e.g. making them only droppable by bigger eq mobs as
pool drop).. if tp really matters, just increase the tp value (they
ARE that wanted and rare anyway)... However specials that make
people IMPOSSIBLE to tap does need tuning on top of that.. It's just
my opinion...

Let me clarify a bit.
There is nothing wrong with these things costing 20m due to market forces. I just use that as an indication that it needs examination, since there's clearly not enough time to look at everything.
In this case, upon examination, I saw the ability to use these things to get regen rates way above normal (about +30hpr, 17epr, and 12spr from each leg easily, well above that with practice). The thirty alone is above levels allowed for pool items (yeah, even if it's in hpr :-)
This is all from their special.
Unlike the case of the Kama, I don't know of any specific cases of someone abusing this special. It was difficult to use, so it wouldn't particularly surprise me if no one had used it that well. And if you weren't particularly abusing the special, you're going to notice very little difference from what I did.
This sort of problem generally only occurs with items with specials. Specials are often hard to tune well, especially if they have any complexity. Now, I at least would prefer them to the straight stat items - they display more imagination on the part of the coder, and (in cases like this, where the user has to know what they're doing to use it well) cause players who think about what they're doing to do better, so I like to give them a fair bit of latitude.
But stuff like this, with its huge potential regen rates, or Kama, for which I knew of specific instances of people using it because they knew it doubled their effective damage, are beyond those limitations.

Hi again.
I don't disagree with the intent or anything but look more for a way
to protect myself here.
I don't care enough to lookup the tp values of items, or pay
attention to market price or anything.
I also don't want to end up getting froze/reinced for abusing an
item like this and not recognizing it as abuse.
If I do some EQ, or some pool and an Item drops I get an ID. If the
special sounds cool or the stats are an improvment I'll use my roll
on it.
One thing that happens as a player that pertains here, is that we
often guess what the Devs are at. "Oh that's pretty cool, looks like
they added balance by making ti a 1/129837324985 drop." "Guess that
awesome special makes up for no stats." "What crap AC/no special,
well it does appear to give 34389574 STR" etcetc.
"If it seems to good to be true it probobly is." is a good general
guideline except for one thing.
The above mentioned guessing. "Too good to be true." is subjective.
I'm not trying to be a cock or a smartass here. I really would like
some definate guidelines on what the power of varying items is and
is not allowed to be.
A help file would be nice.
Another thing that newbies must read or the like maybe

1. Re: 2 threads ago, I would further clarify Daneel's response
to Ligea et al. by stating that there's a big difference between
"Too powerful" and "Unintentionally powerful" or even "buggy"
I'm not sure if it was the case w/ the Kama, but I know w/
Bulzarath, Marvin discovered a pretty significant math error
that was causing the bulz special to go off WAY more often
than was intended. While I still disagree with the policy
of asking players to police item specials, I do think anyone
participating in this discussion should be clear about the
type of item we're referring to. By contrast, an item I might
consider "Too powerful," as ligea put it, would be a
traditional powergamer's item, such as Ogre Helmet or
anything Snoop ever coded...
These items are perfectly legal but take advantage of the
established combat system to "Min/Max" a certain character
build, such as pimping out an MA w/ all dmg eqps.

The answer lies in google.
Google each word separately, and my plan will tell a small story of Dimtree.
Google most: First entry is, the hands on museum, where Dimtree (Dmitri) first found IOM.
Google Dimtree: (this has two meanings) 1. The name of the character this story is about, Dmitri.
Two, the first entry for google was a discussion about a zombie named Dimtree.
On the day Dimtree first logged on to IOM, he was bored to a zombie-like state.
Google Vor: The second entry talks about “The Voice of Russia”. Dimtree is Russian, and so, This gives the story more character.
Google Mugen: The first entry talks about Japan. Japan is a site of many electronic inventions, like computers, which leads to IOM.
Google Communist: Brings up the communist party, which Dimtree is not a part of, but because he’s russian, he’s called a commy anyway.
Google Jant: Google wonders if you mean “giant” so you click on giant. The first entry for giant talks about supermarkets. Dimtree is friends with Chrono, who likes supermarkets. Dimtree also likes supermarkets.
Google Argelfraster: The first entry brings you to a weird live-journal thing, with a non-working things-to-do list. Dimtree never placed much importance on things to do, and frequently gave away random eq.
Google Shy: The second entry talks about shyness. Dimtree was shy in his newbie days, and eventually resorted to dying to Athol’s special to be noticed.
Google Baer: The first entry talks about bike breaks. Dimtree discussed at length the annoyance of bad brakes on bikes on the chat channel on IOM one day.
And so, I’m sorry no one guessed it, but I must admit it was hard.
HOWEVER
A new challenge will be posted soon. The rules, etc. will be explained in general once again. I hope you enjoyed this one!

subject: Another Challenge (better)
date: Tue Apr 18 07:37:48 2006
I have yet another challenge to post for you all.
I know some of you may be annoyed at the previous one, but I reccomend giving this one a try.
Here are the rules. I will post a starting scenario, you will mail me your next "action". For example: "You see a small pot in the corner." You mail to me -> "Open pot". I will then mail back what happens, etc. etc. etc. This goes on until you finish and recieve a prize (if there are any left).
Obviously, things will not be as simple as a little pot.
If you happen to die, game over, and you don't get another shot at it.
If you die, I'll let you know.
When you get to the end(s), if you play your cards right, you will be able to pick and or recieve a prize, which may include, but is not limited to:
Woo's Platinum Mask
Brown Studded Bracers
Gloves of the Dragon
Red Dragonskin Boots
Dog Head of Cerberus
A Blue Gilt Cloak
Red Dragon Scale
I warn you, these will probably be un-tpsaccable unless you repair them.
But enough with the prizes.
The person to get to the end(s) first will be able to pick first, if of course, they end up in a place where they know what they're picking. You'll see what I mean later. You may talk about things you did amongst yourselves if you'd like, but I'm not giving any hints. Mail me your action, and I will mail you back with the result. You may not mail two actions in a row, if you do, the second one will be deleted. I will keep track of everyone's progress myself.
You are a human, with a human's basic abilities. You can swim, climb trees/walls (to an extent) and have basic combat abilities. You have normal strength and stamina. You have no magic.
And so, here's the start:
You stand in a deserted hallway, facing three seperate doors. The first door is blue, the second is red, and the third, green. You notice a lock on the red door, and nothing else on the green and blue doors. Behind you is a gate, which you came through. It is barred by magic, and there is no way of getting out through the gate that you can see.
Enjoy!

cannot do anything, the poison has immobilized your body. Your lungs
are hurting, for lack of oxygen. The tentacle comes near you, and
grabs you by your hair.
It pulls you into the pool and you draw breath. Water fills your
lungs, making you scream in pain and inhale more water. The tentacle
draws you toward and enormous maw of sharp teeth. Yellow eyes stare

Your wish is granted, and just before the maw bites down, you slip

you closer to the gaping maw. You close your eyes out of fear,
hoping it doesn't hurt. Unfortunately, the first bites strikes your
midsection, tearing you into two. After a flash of agonizing pain,
you slip into darkness.
You are dead.

Devilheart has died in his quest for Dimtree's Treasure!
Here are his last moments:

You are dead.

Xain has died!
Here are his final moments in his quest for Dimtree's treasure:
You lay there, looking the great dog in it's eyes. You look, and see
the madness of the demigod in his flaming red eyes. One head darts
forward, grabs you, and throws you into the air. You do not scream,
you are calm, hoping the beast will calm down. As you start falling,
another head bites you, tearing off your leg, and throwing you
against another tree. You clench your teeth against the pain, but
before you hit the tree, the third head catches you in it's teeth
and bites down.
A fang pierces your chest, deflating a lung, and another closes in
on your ribs. As you lie between the teeth, the dog raises it's head
as though to swallow you, but another head comes in and tears your
other leg off, right below the kneecap. The mouth opens and you
tumble into the abyss that is the mouth. Salive coats you, and to
your horror, starts burning like acid. You notice your skin start to
melt, when the tongue flips you against the back of the throat, and
you lose conciousness.
You are dead.
Good luck to the rest of you!

If you have ever downloaded a patch for a blizzard game, or
downloaded anything from blizzard
using the blizzard downloader, I highly recommend you reading this post.
For those of you that don't know, blizzard downloaded uses
something called peer-to-peer
protocol. What is that? Let me give you an example of its
usefulness; when a patch is just
released for a game everyone who has the game has to download it..
so thats a HUGE spike of
bandwidth needed by the host for a short period of time.
Peer-to-peer protocol uses an engenious
method of having downloader A simultaneously upload the file to
downloader B, another customer
who wants the same file, while downloader A is receiving the file
from blizzard. In effect, it
uses your upload bandwitdth to save some bandwitdth for the host. A
great idea if not taken
advantage of.
My problem with it: I have not downloaded or used blizzard
products in nearly a year, and
when going through my firewall settings just now, I discovered my
computer has been hosting
blizzard downloader for god knows how long. Effectively, blizzard
has been using my computer as
a hub to distribute its patches and downloads. If you have ever
used blizzard downloader, I
suggest you make sure your computer hasn't fallen victim to this too.

I am also fairly certain it only starts up when you download the
patch, from what I've seen on my own computer (as far as WoW is
concerned anyway), and the other one, the background downloader,
only runs while WoW is running, if even then.

It is something running on the host.
It will last as long as it lasts. Sorry best answer I have.
Expect it for 4 or 5 minutes at about 10 minutes after the hour.
Lets remember that this server is not only a mud server
in fact its a mud server secondary. There are other more
important things running here.
So be patient.

subject: Newbie stuff
date: Tue May 16 07:23:19 2006
I think that some changes should be considered for helping out the
newbies here. I think that one of the easiest ways to retain players
and make our playerbase grow is to give a brand new player more
options when they start so that they can actually see progression,
which many people see as the most fun part of muds. Allow me to
explain.
Back in the day (pardon the cliche), you could complete the Help
Helga and Farmer Joe quests and earn 300k exp pretty much within
minutes of creating a new character (if you knew how to complete
them). Of course, like everything else, this was abused in the form
of a current player who created a secondary and used the 300k exp in
quest rewards to go buy 3 exp lottery tickets. I don't think I need
to say what happened with that.
In response, every quest was changed to replace basic gold/exp
rewards with our lovely little 1-2 tp quests. While I personally
love tps in all forms, these rewards are completely pointless for
the vast majority of newbies because they need 20 to make any use of
them. I think it would be a very worthwhile use of time to consider
changing all of the low yield quests back to exp/gold rewards to
serve several purposes:
1) Allow a quick way to gain a small amount of experience which
would greatly help out for training the first few spells a newbie
gets
2) A fun, alternative way for newbies to gain experience to
complement the typical hack and slash.
3) Get the newbies used to exploring and thinking outside of the box
4) Give them any practical reason to actually try to complete quests
Of course, the issue of abuse has to be addressed. I think the
easiest way to solve the exp lotto abuse is to put a minimum worth
limit restriction in play, say roughly 1m exp? Not only would it
prevent someone from creating a new character and entering, but it
is a fundamentally good idea because new players really can't afford
to be tossing away 100k exp when they are only worth a meg.
Quests are not the only aspect that need attention. As some of us
have learned the hard way, caster guilds are woefully underpowered
when compared to warriors at the low levels. Until casters have
mastered a spell they cannot even begin to compete with their
warrior counterparts. I suggest a scroll/spellbook which could be
either given out or obtained through a small quest which would act
similar to the newbie bonus. The scroll would allow the newbie to
vastly increase the percentage of one spell of their choice. For
example, a newbie could choose to use the scroll on their magic dart
spell, possibly raising it to something on the order of 80%, enough
that the spell is instantly useable but there is still room for
improvement. As the newbie trains the spell, the bonus will
gradually wear off to compensate.
Finally, one of the greatest challenges of newbiedom is the
transition from lvl 15 to their first beta guild. The fact is, most
guilds dont really offer any substantial improvements in this zone,
so newbies are forced to give up bonuses and the warp ability to not
gain anything substantial in the immediate future. I propose that
the newbie bonuses be extended until level 20, and the warp spell
also gradually fade instead of being abruptly lost. What this would
involve is a time limit restriction on warp after level 15. At level
16 there could be something on the order of a 15 minute delay
between warps, gradually fading to something on the order of an hour
at level 20. This would effectivly allow the newbie to advance at
their own leasure beyond newbiedom without feeling instantly
stranded.
I realize that there is a shortage of people to do work on things
like this these days. I would be glad to dedicate some time into
improvement projects like this, I just need to be taught how to do
coding for these types of projects, as my current knowledge of the
mudlib is mostly restricted to areas. If any wiz likes my idea, or
any player would like to work on it with me, contact me and
hopefully we can get this off the ground.

wow, i really like the gradual warp loss idea, as well as the
extension of newbie bonuses. as far as exping, not ALL blaster
guilds take it in the shorts. druid and weaver have the ability to
heal, which gives them a really easy way out (bounties). as far as
learning to explore, i think a good idea would be to maybe recode
the crystal ball game so it gave a reward of some sort to newbies.

Currently the potions listed in the apothecary have names that are

5 2 Clear light green potion o 450
3 2 Cloudy light purple potion 450
So you can't actually see what the potions are or do.

dealing well with this, and my brothers are probably not faring much
better. as a result, i'm flying down to new orleans on the earliest
flight so i can be with them, make sure things are running smoothly,
deal with my dreadful non-immediate family, and otherwise go through
the motions that i'm required to do.
i plan on staying for a month so i can make sure my mother is
alright and to make sure no one does anything stupid or direspects
my fathers dictated wishes. my mother has the internet irregularly,
as they are basically leeching off some stranger's wireless
network.
if you want to send your condolences, i'd prefer that you just

Okay, if you've been good little boys and girls and kept up with you

area, the sucker. Fortunately for Monkey, Eyespy is one lazy
fellow!
Your job is to find and encounter the elusive fellow that is Eyespy.
When you see this little bugger, talk to Eyespy about Midgar. Ask
him about progress, etc. Give him opinions on how you would like to
see Midgar. He'll probably ignore you at first, but keep pestering
him. He deserves it.
Midgar is a reference to Final Fantasy VII's Midgar because Eyespy
is a stupid little fanboy who can't keep his head out of

to the MUD, and new areas are really fun to mess with.
Some surprises are already churning in Eyespy's mind about the

The #1 reason why builders/potential builders on 10k fail to ever
get an area finished: they think too damn big for their own good
when it comes to their first area.
So, I highly recommend doing what I did: ignore monkey, and stick to
30-40 rooms for your first area. If you don't want to squeeze the
idea mentioned above into an area "that small", then think up
another idea. Truly, it's for your own good.

The other alternative is to break up your 'huge' area into
manageable chunks of 30-40 rooms and release it in stages.

I am breaking it up in stages. Ultimately my area will probably well
over 200 rooms (if I had the time to work on it consistently). I'm
not trying to be grandiose and say I'll get it done within a week or
anything like that. I know it's hard describing things and whatnot,
but I do actually enjoy describing things.
Heck, even if I don't get the area as large as I want, it's still an
area and it's better than nothing, right? So far I'm not even using
MUD space so it's not even hurting anything.
Although you guys keep telling me to go smaller, all it does is
motivate me to go bigger. Talking to me about going bigger gets me
excited too, so if you really want me to go smaller, it may be wiser
to say nothing on the topic and just ignore me while I do talk about
it.
Spite, excitement, still good motivational tools.

subject: The Bets
date: Fri Jun 23 00:17:55 2006
Now, I'm a paranoid lot, so I've decided to set the terms of the
bets I've got going straight, just in case someone wants to back out
with some bogus loophole.
Seeing that Uno and Monkey have "bet" me that I won't finish a 200
room area (Monkey's bet is indefinate in its length, Uno gives me
two months, so let's say about 60 days. If I started 6/17, I'll be
fair and square and say that today is the 22nd of June, meaning I'm
already on day five.)
I will lay my money down on the line to establish that this is an
actual bet, because you're supposed to have something on the line
when you bet, and I currently don't have anything on the line. A
"nothing-to-lose, everything-to-gain" scenario. That's not a bet in
my books, more of like a gentle way of saying, "You're full of it
Eyespy. :)"
Basically, I accept Uno and Monkey's and whoever else who wishes to
bet against me. I will split my money evenly amongst those who bet
against me. Heck, why don't we have fun and make it like a booking
station? The bets between me and Uno and Monkey will be personal,
and any further bets for or against me can be placed in a pool.
These bets don't have to be for all of your money, mind, but the
winning pool gets the cash from the other pool and that money gets
divided proportionally to how much is bet per person.
In the event I do not finish the 200 room area, I'll give the wiards
permission (Hah, like they need it.) to ha><0r me and transfer my
cash to both Monkey and Uno.
Okay, that's it. You're all goin' down.

Stop wearing those tightie-whities. They cause your 'nads to heat
up, which causes the little boys in your jacket to swim too fast and
die before they get any work done. If you really must wear
underwear, try boxers, and to maximise your chances of having a boy,
take a cold shower before making your next baby. Hope this helps.

Wtf makes you think my area WON'T be detailed? I've been describing
a lot of stuff, as a matter of fact. You can ask Monkey if my rooms
aren't that detailed.
They aren't perfect yet, but I'm making progress, and I still need
to go back and edit/revise them. Every room that I have is at least
three lines long. Some of those descs aren't the greatest in the
world, but at least I'm working on it, neh?
And "many of you" who do not care just simply need to type enter
twice when they see a message by either me or Monkey. It's that
simple.
If you do speak for the masses Denim, there is still a minority that
does care, so kindly leave the subject alone.

Really, if the most important aspect of a new area for you, is
getting you closer to 14k rooms, something is wrong, I'd take a well

After giving about 3m gold to eriol, i was shown these rooms which I

tell me where any one of these rooms are.
Badlands [exits: southwest, south and southeast]
The cold, dark ground that lies beneath you echoes deeply under
your footsteps as you trail upon it. A silence falls over the island
for a brief moment, all you hear is your own heartbeat pounding
without a rhythm, deep in your chest.
Etheral Void [exits: west and out]
You are standing in a small clearing on this plane of nothingness.
Surrounding the clearing are large stones set in a loosely circular
formation.
Ethereal Void [exits: east]
You seem to be standing on a large rocky plane floating in
nothingness as far as the eye can see. The void looms like an
ominous beast occupying all of infinity.
Rabbit hole [exits: north]
You are inside the bank of a small hillock, in the hole of a
rabbit. There is dirt everywhere, and it's mixed indiscriminately
with rabbit droppings.
Sky [exits: none]
High in sky above Islands of Myth.

Same deal as other post, 1m if you can give me information leading

Magical Whirlpool [exits: tunnel and out]
Your currently spining around in a magical whirlpool. In the middle
of the squirling pool of dark green water is a magical tunnel that
seems to fluctuate with time. Currently it points to 'Remains of the
Adventurers' Guild'.
In a Large Dark Cave [exits: east]
You are in a large, dark cave that does not seem to have any exit
apart from the one in which you came in. There is a strong odor and
you can guess some animal made his lair here.

subject: Eq, Sloatinok and playing in general.
date: Tue Oct 31 11:13:37 2006
I've elaborated on the eq topic before, in some other thread.
So parts of this is most likely a repetition of what I've
written earlier. ___It is a long posting.___
The backdrop is the occationally flaring discussions the last
few days conserning the change in Sloatinok. I easily admit
that my point of view is biased.
But then again; In that I am not alone.
According to the latest post on inform concerning Sloatinok:
"The overall goal is to try to get more equipment in the game,
rather than having the goal of eq. being immediate saccing,
with no other in-game effects."
A couple of questions:
1. If the goal was to get eq into the game and keep it there,
wouldn't the easiest solution be to simply remove Sloatinok?
And remove eq decay?
2. What are the important in-game effects of camping the same
areas over and over for xp and/or gold?
I don't mind doing this experiment. I'm sure it can be dealt
with. In several ways.
What I do have a big problem with is the description of the
'doing-eq' process that are outlined and served as a truth.
That eq parties have lately only been run in order to get eq
for tp sac, and that as good as all the eq that has been
obtained in said parties have indeed been tp sac'ed. I
strongly object to leave that as the accurate and official
version.
___Just because an item has not hit the sales channel does
not mean the item did not get into the game.___
MANY pieces from the latest weeks has entered someones eq set,
and are as such being used. The list of kills that has been
set up for any party running has been set up based on the
following 3 criterias: 1. At least one of the very biggest
mobs. (Naraku more often than any other because he has hardly
been killed in the last year.) 2. 1-2 mobs wanted by regular
party members. 3. 1-2 Mobs rarely done. For the sake of
variation. (And 4. A total evaluation of the kill list to
ensure that enough will drop to give at least one item to
everyone participating. And that we get done in time. Our
parties have been of relatively short duration.)
Mostly this means that several of the pieces in the loot each
time are pieces that one or more in the party needs for his
or hers eqset(s).
__By me this qualifies as 'eq entering the game'.___
Some do indeed mostly do eqparties, rewardwise, for the sake
of getting eq to sac. Most significantly (but not exclusively)
that would be Lucifer, Blackwidow and me. We all sac whatever
we can get our hands on. That being said, since we have
allready sac'ed a lot, getting more than one piece in a party
that we can sac is unusual. Ending up with nothing to sac
happens. This tendency will just grow stronger the longer we
keep going. (You can not sac the same item more than one time.)
The way the 'eq-problem' has been presented lately is that
if you want so sac eq, you're not someone nice. You should have
taken responsibility and rather spread the eq around. At some
point there was even said from an admin: 'We'll see if this
gets people to start sharing.' I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that
if you choose to do eq instead of xp and gold, you do in fact
have a larger responsibility for the community of players.
That by doing eq you need to make sure everyone gets a share.
And that 'everyone' is to be understood as the entire playerbase.
As a player told me 'We need to let those that just want to
play do just that.' I don't say they shouldn't. I just say
that this doesn't imply that everyone has a birthright to have
top eq. Because, make no mistake, top eq is what we are
talking about here. It is frequently used as an argument that
the problem is the little ammount of midbie-eq that is available.
At the same time it is odd that those that use this argument
most frequently are highworth players currently strugling to get
hold of some eq pieces THEY want. For gold. And it surely isn't
midbie-eq they're looking for.
I refuse to let the blame for what someone feels is a bad
situation with eq on IOM is assigned to those that has been
doing eq the last year. EVERY time an eq party is run SOME
eq do come into the game. I refuse to cater to the wishes
someone has that enough gold should eventually buy you
everything you want. If the latter is indeed the situation
that IS wanted, there is a simpler solution: Let Rufrin get
some random eq pieces pop up in his inventory. Top eq of
course. No less.
More than anything, I wish there could be formulated some
underlaying policy regarding eq. Should it be something you
have to actively work for to get? Should there always be
enough eq in circulation for everyone to buy? Or just enough
so those with massive ammounts of gold will always be able
to buy?
Right now the signals are contradicting.

I'm sorry; my statement wasn't meant to be perjorative.
Let me restate:
Many here perceive there to be a problem with equipment, it's
acquisition, and its dissemination, under the current system.
I don't think anyone has precisely articulated exactly what
they think that problem is. Consider this experiment merely an
attempt to shake things up, to change *something*, in order to
see the effects, and start honing in on a more exact problem,
and consequently, some sort of solution.
It may be that there is no solution. It may, indeed, be that
there is no real problem to solve. Or it may be that we're
missing something obvious. Most likely, it's none of these,
and there is, in fact, a complicated set of problems, each
seen by some sub-segment of the population. However, we aren't
going to get anywhere determining any of this without trying
something.

IMO the underlying problem is not eq coming into the game, but eq
not entereing the market. You cannot deny that over the last x
months/years it has been much, much more difficult to purchase eq
than it is to trade. Granted, a part of the problem is that there
are not a whole lot of in game uses for large quantities of gold,
which is a whole new issue that I feel also needs to be delt with
eventually. That being said, from my point of view I see very little
equipment finding its way into the market for the sole purpose of
profit. There are really only two types of equipment when it comes
down to dicing: EQ that i can sac, and EQ that I can upgrade my set
with.
While there are not enough places to spend gold currently, it can
still be very effective at its real task if people would actually
use it that way: a currency. I think that if immediate saccing is
taken off the table, there is a strong possibility for people to
start selling eq and purchasing pieces they need to sac.
I don't think that it is a question of responsibility to sell eq as
the current system does not promote a healthy mud economy. It's not
about not being able to acquire top eq as a non-eqer, its about not
being able to buy eq _at all_. I do not think that anyone is at
fault, because it is simply human nature to take the course of
action which will give you the largest gain. What this change does
is make the option of selling eq look a lot more attractive when
compared to saccing. There are really two ways to "make" players
change their behavior: downtune the most used options, or uptune the
least used ones. Of course, I would have to say from the perspective
of the eq'ers, this would be considered a downtune. While it may not
be the best course of action, lets give it a chance to see what
effect, if any, it has on the status quo. Maybe it is not a
permenant fix but it might work until a real use for gold emerges.
The biggest question I have for you is, why is it such a problem? If
anything, the number of pieces in game you can sac has just
skyrocketed. You no longer need to burn pyroclasts if you want to
sac something, all you have to do is have a little patience and buy
pieces for cheap after someone has made good use of it. Your post
seemed to revolve around attacking the intentions of the new change,
but I did not see in what way it significantly impacts your overall
playing style. Please elaborate, I am really interested on hearing
that side of the argument.

well,
this change tells me,, to not do eq again.
Why+
?
Because, I think eq is fun, mainly because I get more tp from doing eq.
The more tp I sac, The more eq ends up in the mud also.. since
the more tp a player gets, the bigger the chance is to get eq that
is already sacced
And unlike others,, I dont harvest spare eq in castles for
centuries. I sell it
at decent prices at Gab's.
This change,, when it comes to my clan anyway, will only make sure,
less eq ends up
in the game, since this change Kills at least 3 of our players who
loved to do eq
for the same reason.
If you wanted more eq in the game,, this is really not the way to go,,
Really, this was a brainfart, not a brainstorm

I'll try to be brief.
Re: Warrowarr's comments -
In my opinion the goal of the change was not to get more eq into the game,
but rather the first step in fixing what is perceived as a broken
financial system. Without going deeper into the specific mechanics, I'll
acknowledge that Sloatinok fills an important niche in the system, but
his place had become dislodged from its original position. I'm not sure
where the moral criticisms have come from. The "sharing" comment from
Daneel was, I think, meant to be tongue-in-cheek. This isn't meant to target
active eq'ers, it's targetting the system. A smart player should be able
to make this system work JUST as well - if not BETTER - regardless
of their goals, than it did before.
Re: Wagro's comments -
I tend to agree that gold needs to become more relevant, and that it will
probably require more "toys" being available that use gold as currency.
I'd take it a step further and say that the whole "currency" system needs
to be analyzed and tweaks introduced to create some flexibility
while still driving the engine of commerce.
Re: Lucifer's comments -
I think you have a point regarding bloated tpsaccers having to
to dislodge pieces of eq back into the game. That would, eventually,
normalize the economy. But that's not the same thing as a healthy
economy. Gold was the first asset to lose value, and, subsequently,
eq has started to lose value as well. We're headed toward a place where
tp also have no value. Then What? If that seems silly, well.. I'm
exaggerating to illustrate a point. That point is this: rewards are nice,
but without the content and the process and the GAME behind them, they are
meaningless. If you enjoy the content and the process of doing eq and you
are skilled at it, you're going to be rewarded. And those rewards should be
the biggest fish in the food chain of a healthy economy. I don't think this
is the LAST step in the change, it's the FIRST step toward a more vibrant
and healthy commerical ecosystem.

Old eq life cycle: Acquire -> Use. Or Acquire -> Sac.
New eq life cycle: Acquire -> Use -> Sac.
Is that basically it?
As someone who has made some eq before, I like the idea that people
won't be too scared to use it and give it a go any more. There are a
lot of things coded in that you don't see with an identify spell and
hopefully this change makes the mud a bit more fun. Also we might
see a bit more activity on sales (besides wild animal sex) where
people sell new eq and buy used eq to sac.
Does anyone know how long it takes to wear a piece of eq down from
new to sufficiently used?
ps I was briefer than Uno.

date: Wed Nov 1 10:24:49 2006
OK im just throwing in a new idea for discussions, so dont shoot me down without thinking about it.
1) remove sloatinok
2) new system of tps - every mob that inherits EQ_MONSTER drops tokens that you can give to a NPC for tps. The level of the mob will determine the amount of tps & the number of tokens it drops. (1-10 tps & 1-5 tokens imo).
- the token can only be cashed in by a member of the party that killed the mob
- a player can only cash in a token once from each eq mob
- the NPC can sell you a list of eq mobs that you HAVE NOT cashed in
This should mean that eq will flood the market more. and as a result a tune on a few things would be needed.
- Eq_decay should be made a little more aggresive.
- Pyros should be either removed or made very very rare (they already are rare imo)
This system should satisfy the TP whores & eq obtainers alike. The tokens could be added to the dice with the eq & the player can dice either.
Obviously eq mobs under a certain level should not drop tokens, probably similar to the 1tp mobs.
If sloat is still needed in the game with this system as a sink hole for eq, then he should only accept eq that is max condition of somthing like 25%. Currently eq this badly damaged would probably be given to eje.
Anyhow hope this invigorates some proactive discussions.

This suggestion lowers the availability of gettable tps per (top)
mob from as much as 41 (or more), to somewhere between 1 and 10,
depending on how lucky, or unlucky, you are as far as what the token
is worth. In addition, it reduces incentive to kill said mobs,
simply because what used to give up to 8 possible reasons to kill
said mob (if you include obtaining eq, as well as obtaining tps)
would then only give 3 or less reasons (since one would only need
the items for adding to their set).
>This should mean that eq will flood the market more. and as a result a tune
on a few things would be needed.
At first glance this could appear to be true, except that you are
completely ignoring one critical factor.
A big part of why eq is done is to gain tps, which means to sac the
eq that is diced. If a player can only sac something (whatever it
may be) from a specific mob once, and they don't particularly
want/need the eq that mob is dropping, then they have no reason to
continue killing the mob for tps. If on the other hand, they do need
the eq the mob drops, then they dice and store it.
Either way, the eq is not entering the market anyway.
> - Eq_decay should be made a little more aggresive.
> - Pyros should be either removed or made very very rare (they already are
rare imo)
If eqdecay is made more aggressive, and the means to repair one's
equipment is limited even further than it already is, people
(specifically, eqers) will have _more_ incentive to hoard eq than
they already do. Either as replacements for their existing set, or
as trade items for acquiring pieces for the aforementioned set.
Again, this would further reduce the chance of the eq entering the market.
>This system should satisfy the TP whores & eq obtainers alike. The tokens

I fail to see how a) severely limiting the availability of tps, or
b) severely limiting the ability of _anyone_ to maintain a decent
set, would satisfy anyone - much less the people who have tp
collecting or eqset building as goals.
