The only thing it doesn't show from that list is kills in the arena

Otherwise that's the command you were speaking of

Actually, profile doesn't show their current title, either... you'll have to wait to see them online and use the "whois <player>" to see that. (or the ever useful who command, of course...)

Okay I'm a child of the eighties, why do I not know of this book?

Post by **Scavenger** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 11:15 pm

Oh, it's not just a book. That's just the best picture I could find of a dozer. Fraggle Rock was a TV show from the mind of Jim Henson. Check out this site for more info: http://www.fragglerocker.com/. (Actually, this site has many more good pictures of dozers).
