Kiri's Corner: Hey folks! Results of Andasa's Description Quest: Andasa: Description Quest Aug 9, 2000 We thank everyone who participated, as there were a few potponements to put up with for this quest . I know that made it harder for some But in any case, the winners are : 1st place: Paragon, and in 2nd: Sleepless. Plus an honorable mention goes to Zilvic, who wrote a very good description as well. It was hard to determine who won, and once again, thank you for playing. Special thanks go to Everybody for hosting the quest and for loading the prizes. See her (or me) for them, if you won It was fun :) -Andasa Ideas: Nerve: battle cry: allows you to change what you say when joining a battle, while grouped to something other than "Banzai" Tanis: something in your score where you can see your save vs breath, probably next to your save vs spell Kiri -- currently, each individual save does nothing (another joy of discovering the code is f'd up beyond belief.) Once we fix it, this will matter more. For now, all it does is add up the saves and that number is your save vs spell number. Nugad: there should be more hero areas fot the influx of new and mid-level heroes so people can level without working around others Kiri -- read help building and feel free to write one. JBomb: they should make tell availiable for sleeping people Solkanar: a new drunkenness state: Paralytic. Cannot stand or talk at all. Random socials at random times. Blindness a possibility.- all spells should fail/randomise when Paralytic Kiri -- I'd like to change drunkeness to make a lot more sense than it does now. I like the random social idea, but random spells would seriously be dangerous. Kai: a scry command, 'scry ', see where they're at thru their eyes, illithid command? Kiri -- Illithids um.. already have scry. 'Scry' Scry Syntax: cast 'scry' target The illithid taps into the optic processing centers of its target's mind, allowing the caster to see everything that its target sees. Available in-guild to illithids at level 19 Nerve: It should be possible to throw potions at mobs with the throw command, affecting the monster with the spell effect(s) of the potion if it hits. Kiri -- not a bad idea at all. Kai: A command to see what your AFK message is set to Kiri -- also not a bad idea. Andasa: An Ill "spell" that lets you "dispel" other Ill spells. It's all psionics, right? Seems to me you should be able to control what you are affected by then... *shrug* JBomb: we should have a group who like type group me to be put on the list of who wants to group do that again to be off the list group who caommand should show who is on the list Bloodmaul: just thought about it, if you created a room down from recall, people can use that as a spell up room, just because people have been complaining about spamming recall. I know you can get off recall to do that stuff, but it would be easier if there's an adjacent room just for that and people might use it Bloodmaul: I have seen high level morts (above lvl 10) hanging around temple altar(clericus) for no reason I can imagine. Maybe you can place a time limit for 15 + people staying in that room? Kiri -- I don't see a reason to tell people they can't stay in that room if they want to. Aphera: make your bank account accessible when buying from stores in town See: for timed items we should see how much time is left Tanis: I think kender should get some form of Detect Hidden In guild, naturally thieves should be able to spot other thieves Nerve: allow color code for the status bar Kiri -- we already have colored prompts :) Try it. Nerve: color code the slists... red for spell, blue for skill, white for automatic. Mark oog skils with an asterik. Kiri -- I like this idea. Nerve: allow color code for room, item descriptions Kiri -- I think this would be too busy and would also require me to apply color to everything. Thanks, but no ;) Nerve: color code mobs based on how badly injured they are. this would be especially useful in combat Nerve: show mobs health relative to yours in status bar during fights Nerve: include an extra bit for items to print a message to screen when they are zapped/bradished/drunk/eaten/etc. Conner: This may be a dumb idea, but I think that is should be possible for heroes to purchase the spells the need from the healers I am out of bios after this.
