My mail program has been idiotic since they deleted PINE on my server. Bear with me. ----------- Bono: How about a fighting style type skill for humans that will raise their dex? It would take intense concentration to hold and some mana at the same time. Kiri -- eventually, I'd like to redo humans to work with fighting styles. Space: Backstab should be more effective when hidden. Because nobody uses hide it would be a good way to intice them. Hard to fit eq round that too. Be nice Spinal: y'know i dont know if ive said this already but shields should be better. I mean REAL good. Good enough that people have to think whether they prefer shields or dual Kiri -- I agree. Area writers - hear this call. Eol: some HELPS on the various auras and what they mean Kiri -- well auras aren't real things, it's faerie fire for pink and white is sanctuary. Eol: a spells to incr. chance mob will move to adjacent room Kiri -- I fail to think of any kind of spell that would make sense to do this. We already have something similar in throw and for Illithids. CrashLand: i think avians are perfect just the way they are and people people should stop complaining Kiri -- You are my new hero. Fierce: to get rent when u have money on the bank kiri -- rent? for what? Budin: maybe make a 2.list command, if there are many shopkeepers or mapsellers at same place. And a 2.buy to buy from the different mobs?? Kiri -- we actually have this! When aod is in the room with a shopkeeper, try it. List item shopkeeper and buy item shopkeeper. This is thanks to Slart. Zurn: how about not getting kicked off for spamming when casting spells in a fight? Kiri -- spam is harmful to the mud no matter what kind of spam it is - whether chat or directions or commands. The reason why it's in is to prevent people from spamming to the point of creating lag or worse. My suggestion is to use ZMUD and set the spam protect to a command like save or look. Save would be better. Bluestar: when you con something it shows you the level Kiri -- I think this would be taking you out of the "world" we're trying to create. Bluestar: More annoymous socials!!!!!!! Kiri -- so write some. Check out help socialex and help writesocial. Natedog: how about if Clericus had a heal life available according to how many hit points you had??? Kiri -- That would sort of be like typing "eat food" instead of different kinds of food.. I think it would maybe ruin the ambiance somehow. AMystery: I like enhancements and think the cost is about right, but I'd like to see some variety in the number we get. perhaps make it so we get 1 per level and have to earn the other 4 through some means Soulstorm: mass heal spell, much like mass invis, but it would heal every member of the group so much. Eol: let enhances be used to iimprove spell damage Eol: put chars most recent title in their profile Kamikaze: I know this may sound "wierd" but could we make a way to get rid of spells? I have a lot of skills and spells I don't use or ever intend on using, and it would be nice to totally get rid of them. Soulstorm: feathers don't last long enough...can we up the time? Belgarion: i find it silly that mobs without weapons can still parry. i understand that it is necessary for them to defend themselves, but its a little weird. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Bio -- Dio NAME:Asa BR NAME & NICKNAME: Dio and Dias mainly HOMETOWN: Welsville NY BORN: December 10 1987 CURRENT RESIDENCE: Welsville NY CROUTONS OR BACON BITS: Croutons FAVORITE SALAD DRESSING: ranch or italian DO YOU DRINK: nope SHAMPOO OR CONDITIONER: Shampoo HAVE YOU EVER GONE SKINNY DIPPING: no DO YOU MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE:Only if they make fun of me CONVICTED OF A CRIME: Nope BEST ON-LINE FRIENDS: Billie Wolfbane Taper and Wynd(maybe a few more cant think of right now) ONE PILLOW OR TWO: 1 or none PETS: Dog(Hailey)and Cat(Oreo) FAVORITE TYPES OF MUSIC: Hmmm alot of kinds DREAM CAR:HMmmm i cant think of one TYPE OF CAR YOU DRIVE NOW: none WHAT TYPE OF CAR WAS YOUR FIRST CAR: Never had one TOOTHPASTE: Crest FAVORITE FOODS: Pizza and Ice cream DO YOU GET ALONG WITH YOUR PARENTS: Ya FAVORITE TOWN TO CHILL IN: Dont Realy have one FAVORITE ICE CREAM: Peanut Butter Cup!

Anyway, here are the 3 winners of the Soup Quest. (Yummiest Soup) BruceLee "Breakfast Soup" a tart, a cup of coffee, oatmeal, grits, orange juice, a bagel, an egg, and an order of bacon (Yuckiest Soup) Zurn "Evil Eye Gumbo" 8 evil eyes, 5 white rice, 2 tomatoes, 10 sausages, 20 bean, 2 bacon, 5 bell peppers, 10 carrot (Most Original) MrWhite "Poor Man's Soup" a cup of water, a crooked ladle, a rock, a firefly abdomen, a paper, snake scale, a bone, a small leather cap, a small candle, a shot of whiskey, a Tic-Tac, and a small stick I want to thank Garot and Franklin for helping me judge and Slart for sponsering the quest and deciding the tie breaker. Arias -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- REPLIES: Suggestions and Eol's Responses to Them: Stork: tan should be better eq, I mean it is going to vanish, so why not tweak it more for us? I agree with this idea that tanned eq should be more MACK-DADDY Frizban: Make it so when using a shield you get a lesser kind of parry from it, that way some people might actually use shields It's true that most characters don't use shields; although part of this is due to being damage-hungry (they prefer to use an additional weapon in their offhand), it's also true because shields don't protect enough. Shields should be better, and would be especially helpful to low-level druid and elf characters, who aren't as robust in combat as Avians, Dwarves, or Humans. I don't think shields should give any type of parry, just somewhat better armor class. KurtisII: Make it so you can do give all.
