Mon Dec 8 22:05:18 2003
To: all
I hosted a small Christmas quest tonight! The questers were to string popcorn!
They hunted popcorn in Smurf Villiage that was lying about or on the mobs and put them in thier strings. The ones with the most Won!! Participants were Ballzee, Redeemer, Rahzel, Klepto, Andasa, and Criterion. The winners were First place....Klepto with 20 popcorns in his string, and second was Rahzel with 16 popcorns in his.
Everyone got something for playing! Thank you all again for playing!
If anyone has some Christmas quests they want to run just let me know!!!
--------------
IDEAS:
Rhyme: the degree of intoxication can affect spell casting...
Rhyme: a new race that eats mob corpses instead of regular food...
Rhyme: for a quest, pack the arena with mobs - have people make new chars to play - all level 1 chars, give the mobs tickets, person with the most tickets wins
Criterion: when you type prac, put everything into order by alpha
Lehua: a self destruct command to make a charmie just die... or maybe a poison potion you can make them quaf for instant slay
Criterion: put one of those dragon headed kiwi springs at recall
AMystery: help socialname, it shows the actual social with the variables. would be good for checking out what they do and learning how to write them
Criterion: illithid skill that swaps their place with another mob or char
Criterion: a meditation spell which converts mana into hp at 1 hp for every 2 mana points. you can grade the conversion based on level, so it starts at a conversion rate of 1hp/5mana. for all martial guids
Lehua: If you happen to kill yourself for any reason, immediate alignmennt adjustment to satanic... Since suicide is technically a mortal sin
Exe: weapons should have a weapon damage type when you id them
Klepto: detect invis potions don't last long enough
Org: there is some thing called gravity
Kiri-- NO WAY!!! Are you sure?
<a href="http://www.davidbass.net>AMystery</a>: we need another 30-35 area since all we really have is house of usher and rocky horror and there are no mobs in usher. make it something with ice dragons and gnomes and lots of traps
Criterion: when a mob repops with players in the room, the wind rustles and the room gets cold... and a mist coalesces into the mob
Lehua: when someone has a killer flag, sacrifices to the gods should say something like, Even the gods have forsaken you... Your sacrifice has been rejected.
Exe: maybe we could have special hero skills and spells for each race
Criterion: when you do who, alignment could affect the color your nname appears as... red for evil and blue for good, and green for neutral

Lehua: a shopkeeper in the mortal realm that sells food, no weapons, no armor, no jewelery, no.. oh i don't know
>>There is the butcher and the baker in Calathar... icon_confused.gif
Criterion: an area attack skill for fighters that let's them engage and attack multiple opponents. requires high dex and wis and int.
>>You mean for humans? I think they'd appreciate these suggestions for the revamp. icon_smile.gif
Vader: let clericus sell spells like combat mind and sanc
>>Then just let Clericus sell all kinda of spells, no. Go make an illithid and a Druid. Simple as that.
Kitsune: could the Guardian use tell instead of say to talk to demons? It is a id odd when he suddenly quips something about replacement of various appendages. Just a thought! - Kit
>>People just got used to it... and I do think that they get a tell with a help file of the limb when a limb is replaced. icon_smile.gif
Criterion: how about a command called tnl, that reports your tnl as an emote
>>How about no... j/k! Sure, that would be neat. icon_smile.gif
Exo: word of recall should have SOME use, make it so if you type a city keyword, such as perelandra, your 'word of recall' recalls you to that city, only make it so ALL of your mv is taken away, since it is a really fast way to travel, and make the citie
>>Read "help word of recall". It's suppose to be useless, as far as I know. And just get your lazy butt to those cities. icon_rolleyes.gif
Disaster: heal restorehp and heal restoremana and heal restoremoves, for when you don't want to restore everything
>>Laziness, another sign of hunger.
Exe: i dont think memory mobs should attack linkdead people, if your connection blows out right after you flee, that mob could easily kill you. if it does, and you cant reconnect, your screwed
>>Whoo! Then I'll just go linkdead when I die and ask mi amigo to get my corpse while I follow them! Whee...no.
Rhyme: for illithid skill, this won't affect the mud's balance, but a spell that allows an illithid to deliver an item anywhere in the mud to a player, from any place else.
>>Haha! Phunny, I like it. *thumbs up*

The Worst Analogies
He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
(Joseph Romm, Washington)
She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again.
(Rich Murphy, Fairfax Station)
The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.
(Russell Beland, Springfield)
McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty Bag filled with vegetable soup.
(Paul Sabourin, Silver Spring)
From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and "Jeopardy" comes on at 7 p.m. instead of 7:30.
(Roy Ashley, Washington)
Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze.
(Chuck Smith, Woodbridge)
Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center.
(Russell Beland, Springfield)
Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
(Unknown)
He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.
(Jack Bross, Chevy Chase)
The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.
(Gary F. Hevel, Silver Spring)
Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be buried in the credits as something like "Second Tall Man."
(Russell Beland, Springfield)
Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
(Jennifer Hart, Arlington)
The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can.
(Wayne Goode, Madison, Ala.)
They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth.
(Paul Kocak, Syracuse, N.Y.)
John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
(Russell Beland, Springfield)
The thunder was ominous-sounding, much like the sound of a thin sheet of metal being shaken backstage during the storm scene in a play.
(Barbara Fetherolf, Alexandria)
His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
(Chuck Smith, Woodbridge)
