IDEAS:
Winterdream: it would be nice if the mud could/would check on the fly bit of item so it'd eventually automatically
refly you. as it is now you get dispelled (which affects fly from fly items), and if you can't remove and wear it
again it doesn't refresh itself.
Dispair: a new skill, enhance shield, possibly for dwarves or for humans?
Exo: why not make it so when you add a ? or a ! mark, your say comes out as Exo exlaims ... or Exo wonders ...
it may add a little more to the game, and a joke channel would be neat as well
Shiloh: when ur drunk and you run into a wall or into the ceiling, maybe you should lose some hp
Isabelle: I know it's been said many times by many people, but yellh would be fantastic
DRail: a RC in donations that teleports you to the demon donations room
Tasenrad: I have an idea to help people find the help files they may be looking for. For example, if you know the
funciton you want to do starts with an 'a', you could type 'help a' and it would list all the available functions
beginning with 'a'.
Zecan: illithids should be able to use flaming eq
Solomnius: type 'help lightning' did we remove this feature? could be interesting...
Disaster: change sex should overwrite itself, like sneak does. then a male character who's neutre due to change sex
and who gets changed again could be female
[
Mondor: Inorganic system for pardoning
Disaster: ventriloquate/create sound should keep capitalization in the message of who says something. "c vent "The Small
Smurf" hello" for instance should saye "The Small Smurf says" not "The small smurf says"
Ginsu: guards should be hostile towards demons and others of very low alignment, such as pushing them away,
possibly towards the nearest gate out of town

Response by Slart to the last newsletter:
Quote:
> Universal: Things with a character's name on it such as corpses or body =
> parts, should have your name as a syntax.
Baltar: 'Twould be nice, but I bet it'd be a pain to code.
Slart: Player corpses already have the character's name as a keyword.

Proverbial humor
A first grade teacher collected old, well known proverbs. She gave each kid in her class the first half of a proverb, and had them come up with the rest. These are great:
