In particular, in light of concerns raised over congestion on the public switched network, the Commission seeks comment on how it can most effectively create incentives for the deployment of services and facilities to allow more efficient transport of data traffic to and from end users. The Commission made no specific proposals, but tentatively concluded that providers of information services (including Internet service providers) should not be subject to the interstate access charges that local telephone companies currently assess on long-distance carriers. Comment Date: March 24, 1997 Reply Comment Date: April 23, 1997 Filing Comments Parties that wish to file formal comments in these proceedings should follow the procedures set forth in the NPRM and NOI. General information on filing comments with the FCC is also available. You may also file informal comments electronically via e-mail to access@fcc.gov for the Access Reform NPRM (CC Docket No. 96-262) and isp@fcc.gov for the Internet Access & Information Service Provider NOI (CC Docket No. 96-263). Only one copy of electronically-filed comments must be submitted. You must put the docket number of the proceeding in the subject line, and you also must note in the subject line if an electronic submission is an exact copy of formal comments. You also must include your full name and Postal Service mailing address in your submission. --A -------------------------- Message 6 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Thu Feb 13 09:57:31 1997 EST From: Akane (#14270) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: well pfeh.

That being the case, if you truly have no desire to RP with the person, it's your responsibility to notify them via @send that @gag's in effect. Posting it isn't sufficient. Paging someone you've @gag'd is rather poor form. Mail them. And, should you @ungag later, please @send the player to notify you've lifted it. Wizards/GMs have no responsibility to keep track of the players *you* have gagged, or to notify them of your @gag'g.

When I have a problem however, I'm ignored. I say one thing and it is the joke of the rest of the people nearby. I am sick and bloody tired of some of this shit. SAying I'll leave doesn't ammount to much; I'm judged before hand, or before the words are expressed. Not interacting or @gagging simply gets me killed. I don't get any of this anymore... and this confusion is making it a bitch to play here. It was funny. Today I searched through the logs of my files kept in my computer. Most of them? Arguments.. squabbles. Over the stupidest of things, that at the time made all the difference. It's really sad how we treat one another here. It's equally sad when we get our sides up and challenge, or wage verbal wars against those that are not our allies. I just don't get why the hell this exists. I don't think it can all be ONE person. But the fact that it keeps happening pisses me off. There is no common understanding, or even curtesy for that matter. This is starting to seriously remind me of times past, and places I left for this same reason. Foolish bullshit squabbling. It just takes the fun out of the game. What I'm saying is probably going to be passed by in intrests of spam... or maybe it's misplaced. Well I don't care. I'm really growing tired of coming to a place organized into little groups instead of a common friendship.. i'm really tired of the same fights that go on between ALL OF US. And I'm really tired of the double standard. Maybe human nature as a whole is like this. In that case, what a bitch that i'm human. I don't know why i'm complaining. I just wish some of this would end. Please, just read this babble and think.

Ylise perhaps if you'd stop proclaiming to be Ms. Bitch people would tolerate you, just calm down a bit instead of over reacting. Second I'm not one to give advice, I'm one of the people who screwed up majorly in the past, but you have to learn from your mistakes so do such. The scary thing is you act proud to be a bitch, is there something wrong with that logic? thats all I think needs to be said, so don't get mad at people if they ignore you because your annoying. -------------------------- Message 62 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Fri Feb 21 17:12:30 1997 EST From: Devon (#13677) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: again please refrain from taking gems placed throughout the MOO it's for a quest.

I find this train of thought very simialr to my own... and I've seen this type ofd thing just about everywhere I've been as far as MOOs go. Even the MOO I conser "home" - though that's starting to become this on - has crapped on my bigtime in the past. WEll... not the MOO itself, but people whom I had thought were friends. It isn't a matter of Ylise, or anyone in particular, being a 'bitch.' That's getting off topic. I think what Ylise's gripe is about is the dissension and diviosion which can sometimes be seen. I think it's a justifiable gripe. My experience here has been sort of all around great, but I've seen strife amongst players. I'm not saying I'm perfect - even I can be a bitch in certain situations, and I'll admit it - but I don't think it's fair to blow Ylise off about this. -Jess/Etra -------------------------- Message 64 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Fri Feb 21 21:29:44 1997 EST From: Darkhawk (#5041) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: goodnight Goodnight fuck-O's its been swell I'll be back again... -------------------------- Message 65 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Fri Feb 21 21:47:29 1997 EST From: Ylise (#14877) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Ahh..

Cracking an international market is a goal of most growing corporations. It shouldn't be that hard, yet even the big multi-nationals run into trouble because of language and cultural differences. For example... The name Coca-Cola in China was first rendered as Ke-kou-ke-la. Unfortunately, the Coke company did not discover until after thousands of signs had been printed that the phrase means "bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax" depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 Chinese characters and found a close phonetic equivalent, "ko-kou-ko-le," which can be loosely translated as "happiness in the mouth." In Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation" came out as "Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead." Also in Chinese, the Kentucky Fried Chicken slogan "finger-lickin' good" came out as "eat your fingers off." The American slogan for Salem cigarettes, "Salem - Feeling Free," got translated in the Japanese market into "When smoking Salem, you feel so refreshed that your mind seems to be free and empty." When General Motors introduced the Chevy Nova in South America, it was apparently unaware that "no va" means "it won't go." After the company figured out why it wasn't selling any cars, it renamed the car in its Spanish markets to the Caribe. Ford had a similar problem in Brazil when the Pinto flopped. The company found out that Pinto was Brazilian slang for "tiny male genitals". Ford pried all the nameplates off and substituted Corcel, which means horse. When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to say "It won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you." However, the company's mistakenly thought the spanish word "embarazar" meant embarrass. Instead the ads said that "It wont leak in your pocket and make you pregnant." An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of the desired "I Saw the Pope" in Spanish, the shirts proclaimed "I Saw the Potato." Chicken-man Frank Perdue's slogan, "It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken," got terribly mangled in another Spanish translation. A photo of Perdue with one of his birds appeared on billboards all over Mexico with a caption that explained "It takes a hard man to make a chicken aroused." Hunt-Wesson introduced its Big John products in French Canada as Gros Jos before finding out that the phrase, in slang, means "big breasts." In this case, however, the name problem did not have a noticeable effect on sales. Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno mag. In Italy, a campaign for Schweppes Tonic Water translated the name into Schweppes Toilet Water. Japan's second-largest tourist agency was mystified when it entered English-speaking markets and began receiving requests for unusual sex tours. Upon finding out why, the owners of Kinki Nippon Tourist Company changed its name. and finally... In an effort to boost orange juice sales in predominantly continental breakfast eating England, a campaign was devised to extol the drink's eye-opening, pick-me-up qualities. Hence, slogan, "Orange juice. It gets your pecker up." By the way, these are all true accounts... -------------------------- Message 77 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Tue Feb 25 16:42:49 1997 EST From: Slayer (#9883) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: less Moo time for while :( Some of ya may have already noticed me on-line less and less lately..

A large bowl in his hands, and a flask of some liquid. He freed her of the magical bindings that held her, allowing her to eat. Avolent looked up rarely, her body famished, craving nourishment. He left, and came again with a bowl of potatos, mashed. Kzin watched her silently eat, seeming to take in each action she did. |I do not understand... why does he do this to me? ? Why is he helping me now| When Avolent finished, she set the bowl and water aside, looking at him for a long moment. They talked of why he had sacrificed Lyetra, how he would not do the same to her. Six more deaths he spoke of. They talked of love, and why she had left him. She could not hold back the passion she held for him, regardless of what he did to her. She was willing to die for him, to be another sacrifice. Anything to end this pain he felt. Anything to end this pact he held. Kzin moved to kiss her, to hold her, and she let in, savoring in his every move. |I need to make him end this sooner... I will make him kill me. I will make one less for his needed lives| Avolent quickly punched Kzin, as he moved to kiss her, continually hitting him... trying to keep her actions from taking control of her. She could not let him see her intent. His voice became so hollow, so distant. He did not feel pain. He felt nothing. A smoky claw formed from Kzin's stub of an arm. It's quick slash made her scream, the searing pain as it fell into her cheek dragged on. He cut, mangled... tore into her flesh, the hollow voice no longer Kzin's. "HE is crying inside... he begs of me to stop... it really is quite ammusing" The possession would speak, as it tore into her insides, mangling her inner organs, cutting around her. She could feel the blood seep, watching as the possession would fight against itself. One hand coming to comfort.. the other to cut. HIs voice was so cold. It told her that he would die, it would kill him, destroy him. |IT is all My fault for this!| She screamed, trying to taunt on the beast, to make it take her instead of Kzin. She could feel her body weakening with each action, the face of Kzin's body contorting and changing. The claw no longer tore at her, but at himself, tearing from his head, down to his stomach. Avolent heard his cries, no longer sounds, but thoughts. {Go... I can only hold him for so long... Let me die... It is what I want}. She could not leave her love, not let him die. The beast tore still at him, the thoughts still came. She watched as Kzin's limbs began to crumble, to break down before her. Avolent cried out, moving nearer to Kzin, his body unmoving, bleeding, his breath faint. The voice was heard in her mind, telling her of the pain she would feel for her life... the constant aches. For Kzin, that his body would be forever seared, his voice lost... his pact broken. Her body shuddered as she looked into his eyes, unable to do anything else but cry as the darkness came again. Avolent had lived, as had Kzin. Their true lives should have ended, and she wondered, would it really have been better in death. -------------------------- Message 87 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Fri Feb 28 16:07:46 1997 EST From: Appalene (#10655) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Listen It's been said to death..

So if you know of a good class which you would like on this moo tell me and ill put it on my moo, and if i like it You Can Be the Leader of the group-class. BTW- Class means a group which people can join. ex-Submariners, Dr's, Soul Mechs, Mages, etc.. Do dont be afriad to send me ideas. Also.. The moo will be alot like this moo, combat, and rping. So if your interested in being a programmer, or just being a player send me mail. At the beging with the moo opens, itll be set that you can boost easier, but then after lets say the first 50 people have requested characters and logged on ill set the boosting alittle harder to boost, but not that much. So if your interested in playing, or being a programmer, or got agreat idea for a class send me mail. P.S.

At first we'll need lots of builders, so if you want to be a builder just to help us get started we'd appreciate it, and you'd get a big reward after your done building (builder bit would be taken away though :( ) Also if you would want to play and i know that ahead of time you'll also get bonuses and such like maybe weapons and money when your start off playing.. And last, we still want more ideas on moo classes ex Soul Mechs, Dr's etc. So if you got one you can be the runner of the class... And much much more. Its a moo taken place in the the 20th century...

After Rathe was killed the _first_ time by Mugwump, I followed Mugwump ICLY, and when Shaelin asked ICLY what was going on (in a friendly conversational tone) Mugwump replied, "Murdering." I was told by Rathe that he (Rathe) had been fired on first, and looted, by Mugwump. Rathe returned, fired a shot at Mugwump, and was pkilled *again*, then looted. When Gallen ICLY asked why this had happened, Mugwump replied 'He fired first.' and then followed that up with (still ICLY), 'I gotta @HOME.' Now, this strikes _me_ personally, as illegal - and crappy. Rathe might be a jerk IC, but he's not a twink. I think it would be nice to get some kind of intervention so Rathe can get his weapons back, and I personally would like to see some repercussions for Mugwump.

Today, my character was faced in a situation. Coreen , rathe anhad blocked in Anansi. That's fine and dandy and just sort for Rp. Wouldn't have been a prob cept I was in the room with em, didn't wanna be there. They blocked both exits. USually it's decided in OOC chatting that one will move from the desired exit in order to let the non -participants pass, the one they block will not move. USUally. Well I suppose they've dropped that idea. They instead instructed me to just @go scrabble and exit that way. Perfectly not ic. And what by their standards, especially Rathe and Anansi, who have a tendency to complain on that subject quite a bit, would be labeled as twinkish. I don't know.. I don't like double standards...

I told him to paste his audit to me and show me. Anansi then asked me if i wanted the backpack back. I said yes. So i told him to meet me in the Guest Chamber so he could give it back. He gave me the backpack back but when i examined the nunchukas inside they were owned by Anansi, not Stalinger like before. I asked him for the real nunchuaks that had once been in tha backpack, but he told me that he never owned nunchukas that were owned by Stalinger. They were always his own. This is after i had examined his nunchukas numerous times! Evertime before they were wiz owned. He is either misleading messages or lieing.

We have seen you do this not only with Mugwump, but with Khyber, with Kzin, with Ylise.. ach, the list runs on and on. And what's -really- ironic about it is that you are normally complaining about IC behaviors you, yourself, engage in. Here's a clue, Rathe: every act you commit IC has potential ramifications. If you knock someone out and steal from them, their friends will get you -- eventually. Don't expect any -preamble- from people seeking revenge.. they don't owe you any. And you've looted enough people here to give you a *long* list of enemies, my friend. As I recall, your character threw an unconcious Mugwump to the cainids on his 12th day of life here -- your character also has looted many of his friends, all of whom ICly despise your char's lameass:) So.. whenever you find yourself in the mood to post complaints on this list.. do us all a favor and leave your opponents' IC motivations off the agenda. You've given all of them ample reason to slay you sight.

I've lost friends, made quite a few enemies, and have lost any fun I once had on this place. Maybe I've ruined the place for other people, I'm really not sure, but in the end it's really just no longer worth it.

My own grades are failing as a result of the fact that I spend hours on here, although, after what I've just pointed out, I'm not quite sure why :) All this comes down to is the fact that I won't be going IC again for a while.

There is a very good reason I have been to the R/T lounge about three times since I have been here. I do not like to play with dragons and mages and that stuff. Frankly, I find it all a little childish. But, I would defend to my last breath you all's right to play. Believe that. I will not interfere with you as long as you LEAVE ME ALONE!! Akane couldn't..Yshar couldn't... Twelve days after I started here (on a reccomendation from dimbulb, another guy who don't RP) I got attacked by Rathe and Apocalypse. I had a battle axe, they wanted it. Another guy, named Earl had lost it and I found it, called up a wiz who told me I could keep it. So I did. I found out later, from another wiz, Darby, that Apocalypse was a GM sanctioned `evil guy' who was under an agreement not to attack any body under 30 days old. I repeat, I was 12 days old. I asked Apocalypse about it, because I had fun. I joked with Rathe during it, ran around like an idiot till he stabbed me. I didn't cry or whine. Sounds a little but like what akane accused me of don't it? I want that battle axe Now at or around that same time I went up to the lounge to make some stuff and Akane and Anansi accused me of all kind of stuff. Cheating, editing @messages, which at that time, i had no clue about, and being another player. As for me being Drago, all I will say is since then, i have found three other Dragos, Kzin, Harrison, and someone else, I forget who. We were going to form a club! And Drago is dead!!! Talk about RP But, still it went on. I was at this time being invited up to Morlith by Yjezra to view the hatchery with a plan of becoming a DR. This all came to an abrupt halt at this time because of these suspicions, I guess. I was never told why, but now Yjezra says that she has been having to ake me to task for cheating since I got here. On one hand making me a DR on the other, calling me a cheat. Now, I am a killer and a looter. I am pretty well tough, I think I had to be, don't you? I have fought three people since I came here. They are Rathe, Yshar and Skeeter. I killed a guy accidentally, his name is Phaze. Rathe, well I had a legitimate reason to go after him and kill him. And, he has done the same to me. The difference is, he gets to keep my battle axe but I got his shotgun @moved back to him. By who? Yjezra. Because I am a twink. Yshar, whether he likes now to own up to it or not, challenged me when I was OOC Yesterday I clled him on it. He backed down. I'll admit he did say he'd do it in rounds but I did not have any idea what he meant (I thought he wanted three minutes with a minute in between :)) So, that is two...Rathe and Yshar. Then is Skeeter, poor Skeeter, blocking the highway for over an hour killing executioner birds, not answering, not moving, not doing much at all. I ko'd him. The ONLY time I have ever ko'd anybody. I'm sick of this. Don't worry about me, Akane, you were doing okay but you have now hung yourself again. Leave it, you won't hear rom me. I'm happy with the coded combat, which happens in roubnds lis Yshar, by his, and also Yjezra's implication paged straight after, is that I concocted this challenge. Now, lets look at that. I make up a bogus story about someone I have never met, only seen once before. Someone who is a good friend of an enemy. I create a log of this challenge, and duly doctor it up. Just so I can walk into the lounge and walk away in disgust when he pulls an OOC on me? What kind of an idiot would do that? Why? For his plate armor? I have poly!! And I was not handed it. Darby did not make it. Quinn, among others dropped enough hints for me to find it (after an alligator had his way with me about 10 times) I put that in because I fancy I can hear screams of protest. Hoarding, the last charge. I have apart from the replicator weapons, a shotgun and a pistol that was Rathe's. It cannot kill, only ko. I will never use it, Even I have standards. Any other stuff you see me with I have borrowed. So, you see. -------------------------- Message 148 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Tue Mar 11 15:55:17 1997 EST From: Ylise (#14877) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: HEE HEE I know...

For those of you who don't know me in this I.D.. I'm Darby's Condescending Bitch persona:) And I have a couple of questions for Akane as well as some advice (albeit unsolicted): Are you on drugs? Or perhaps you spend so much time here, you dream about it and incorporate that into your conscious perceptions? We have laser sabers here? Whose .sheet are you referring to in your post? (Sorry, that was more than a couple questions:) Unsolicited advice: a) paged insults [you should probably assume they are *intended* to mean _you_, the person behind the character. You do have the option of refusing pages from anyone]; b) '100 strikes to the head': since the target was disconnected at the time of the attack, 1000 strikes to the head would have had the same result.. oops, there would not have been time for that, tho, because a combat check is activated 5 mins. post disconnection; c) '3 shots to the head': make that 2 misses and one hit (get your facts straight); d) stats on poly armor: since you cannot see them, ask Quinn.. or a wizpal. The props on its kids are all clear.. in other words, they are all the same.. the few that are in play. The creation of statted objects here is supervised and controlled, Akane [again.. get your *facts* straight! especially if your intent is slander.. having actual *facts* instead of viscious, small-minded speculations is always a good idea:)] If you have any questions, Akane.. about objects or verbs you don't understand, I'll be more than happy to help you learn:) In the meantime, if you have accusations to make against me on this list, at least try to make them coherently. Perhaps a cup of coffee before composing your posts will help. <*smiles sweetly*> --NoJumps -------------------------- Message 151 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Tue Mar 11 17:28:48 1997 EST From: Rathe (#14172) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Another post Just to clear a coulpe things up, here.. I've pretty much given up on fighting Darby and her little buddies, her insults, although vaguely amusing at first, have grown rather dull and annoying. Soo, I'll avoid this little personal battle between myself and darby for the remainder of this post.. First off, in the incident with Mugwump, there were, in fact, five shots fired. two missed, three hit, all poly deflected. I'll not go into doctored armor fights, ect., here.. If it is the case that this simply is the way poly was made, I would HEAVILY urge that whichever wizard is responsible for making it lower it's absorbtion, deflection, ect.. Its a wee bit powerful. Secondly, as for Mugwump's claim of me taking his axe, this is, in fact, true. BUT before striking I gave him IC verbal warning, then proceeded to attack. He had a chance to flee, the coded combat lasted a little over a minute, and instead of running, he continued to fight. I would further point out that he was KO'd, and then given chance to escape (which he took, unfortunately). Mugwump also failed to mention that when he KO'd skeeter, he took skeeter's only special item, a katana. Mugwump also failed to mention that although he has only KO'd once (supposedly) He has Pkilled myself alone at least four times, possibly five. In his looting sprees he's taken a magic staff, a gyroslug pistol (fully loaded, I beleive), a shotgun, and allowed nightsong to be taken. I have since regained the shotgun (Via Yj, who, thankfully, recognized the unfairness of the situation and took note of Mugwump's endearing personality), the staff (Via taking from Harrison, whom he had given it to), and the sabre (Given by Elendil, who had picked the sabre up, to Locus, whom then gave it to me).. Hope that clears things up a bit :) --Rathe (Proud sponsor of bitchicide(tm) spray: Solutions for your corrupt MOO) -------------------------- Message 152 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Tue Mar 11 17:35:45 1997 EST From: Akane (#14270) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: well. to answer a few questions. -Light Sabres?

I wish I could spend more, but alas, School's the bomb. ;) -less.. Page insults? Mugwump paged me thrice? then. I have the ever so lovely Darby calling me a twit. -100 strikes to the head heh, you can give 100 strikes to anyone's head, your point being? -3 shots to the head via shotgun? lesse.. first shot should've knocked their head backwards, regardless of any armor. I don't care if you have plasteel bracers laced with gold, it'd still break yer neck. -Stats on poly does it look like I give one shitload of care about your little rubber suits? -NoShits asking me to get a teacher.

I don't know jack shit about properties and parents, really I don't? *heh* -Coffee? I don't drink coffee. "Water Joe", "jolt" or "Mega Jolt" works for me. -As for miss NoJumps. I'll just @gag her. she's always OOC, so I have no reason to listen to her timeless bullshit. -Slander? Nah, not slander, facts and observations. NoHump, whatever your name is, leave me be, I don't care for this useless bickering, we did what? 3-4 pages of page-spam when last I was on? -Teaching Period you need a good common sense teacher, talk to me.

I could make a few dozen reasons to attack anyone..on sight.. Its just rather lame. No wonder everyone has there weapon wielded all the time. Not alot anyone is going to do about it, you can get away with it if you wish. Just watch who you do this too. I know that if someone walked in with a shotgun and blew off my char's head without a word.. Lyk would hence forth do the same to that char oooo say about 100 - 1000 times. And would not look to see if one was ooc or not, as with this type of attitude..its shoot first..look later. Personally i think its a rather lame thing to do. Twinkish is the word most tend to use.

You scream and yell till all the fun players leave, then you take over the moo and conform it to a comfy breeding ground. Im going to tell you a little story now. I was at the 711 buying a pack of cigs in L.A., as I was getting into my jeep a large black man who obviously followed me pulled a gun, pointed it at my head and grabbed my bag. I only had 5 dollars on me so it wasnt a big deal. Now this man didnt inform me he was going to take my bag, he just took it.

Help Character Smoke : The roots of roleplaying are not in mindless backing and slashing but moreso in developing and playing a character. We hold strong to these roots. I myself have been the victim of wordless attacks, it's not only bad form, but it's also shows the point of why you play on ghostwheel, you just want to fight people and steal things? I personally hate looters I can't stop that so I'm starting to think of an idea, we have no form of police or lawgivers, perhaps it's time we did. We set the rules when something like this happens that person is hunted, the problem is I won't get the strongest people for it, and if I do corruption will be evident, well this is a nice tangent but point of this mail was to say that when in character you do not go around knocking people out without a single word, even DIE! works. And yes Smoke if the majority of people in ghostwheel feel it's poor form to knockout and loot like you did, then that is how things are, you don't write the rules either. -------------------------- Message 197 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Sat Mar 15 11:05:39 1997 EST From: Red-Fang (#5907) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: rule Where is this rule Devon? -------------------------- Message 198 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Sat Mar 15 11:10:00 1997 EST From: Myst (#13170) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: It's a dirty job...

Without baddies on here, all us goodie two-shoes would do is sit around, wallowing in our honor.... In Real Life as well as here, there are probably some people who can't afford to make a living any other way than by stealing from other people. Don't get me wrong, I hate looters, but I think if it's done in a 'controlled' fashion, like a small notice before the char attacks, like I think Akane suggested - Looter says, "Person X offered me big bucks for that staff of yours, and I've come to collect," or whatever. Pose an ambush or something, like "Looter leaps out of the bush, weapons flying at victim..." You don't have to wait for the person to wield their weapon, because obviously that's the whole point of an ambush... All I think Akane and Devon are trying to say is that, like me, I don't like to see people who are positioned at one end of the room you're in, magically leap over to you and attack. Simply posing your character moving from one end of the room to the other, leaping a sofa or whatever would be more than sufficient to stop tendless bickering :) My two cents for this morn, Myst -------------------------- Message 199 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Sat Mar 15 12:22:28 1997 EST From: Darby (#12081) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Cope There is NO rule that says you cannot attack someone w/o a word or emote!

Unless you have reason to believe actual *cheating* resulted in your character's being disadvantaged, don't page us to intervene. Please. I know it's not a lot of fun to be killed or ko'd without a word being said.. but that is _not_ a cheat. Characters who do it have to face IC consequences, not scoldings and retconnings by GMs. Characters who kill also wind up facing OOC consequences of their own making. Whether they choose to talk to you as they knock you out or murder you is a matter of personal choice. Their silence does not prevent you from speaking or emoting. If your response to such an attack is an OOC response, or if it _has_ been an OOC response when you've involved in such a scene as a victim or a witness -- you're not RPg, either. Is greed enough IC motivation to attack someone? In a word, yes. If that suits your attacker's role -- it's his/her RP, too. The occasions that *might* justify GM intervention comprise a very short list: Were you both IC? (and have you tried to work this out on your own, if not?); Did the other person use OOC methods to gain advantage (and can you prove this?); Did you invoke the consent rule and your attacker fail to honor it? (if so, did you follow the instructions for invoking in it 'game consent'?) Lastly (and this would be rare).. did you lose your connection mid-attack and wind up dead or looted? Your finding the scene distasteful or below your own standards of 'good roleplaying' is *not* sufficient reason to ask a wizard to intervene. When we do step in, the story stops -- and from my point of view, there's not a greater disservice you could render to RP here than to halt it for any reason other than those I've just stated. Please direct your commentary to my mailbox, not this list.

Last week I walked into a local "home style cookin' restaurant/watering hole" to pick up a take out order. I spoke briefly to the waitress behind the counter, who told me my order would be done in a few minutes. So, while I was busy gazing at the farm implements hanging on the walls, I was approached by two, uh, um... well, let's call them "natives." These guys might just be the original Texas rednecks--complete with ten-gallon hats, snakeskin boots and the pervasive odor of cheap beer and whiskey. "Pardon us, ma'am. Mind of we ask you a question?" Well, people keep telling me that Texans are real friendly, so I nodded. "Are you a Satanist?" Well, at least they didn't ask me if I liked to party. "Uh, no, I can't say that I am." "Gee ma'am. Are you sure about that?" they asked. I put on my biggest, brightest Dallas Cowboys cheerleader smile and said, "No, I'm positive. The closest I've ever come to Satanism is watching Geraldo." "Hmm. Interesting. See, we was just wondering why it is you have the lord of darkness on your chest there." I was this close to slapping one of them and causing a scene--then I stopped and noticed the T-shirt I happened to be wearing that day. Sure enough, it had a picture of a small, devilish looking creature that has for quite some time now been associated with a certain operating system. In this particular representation, the creature was wearing sneakers. They continued: "See, ma'am, we don't exactly appreciate it when people show off pictures of the devil. Especially when he's lookin' so friendly." These idiots sounded terrifyingly serious. Me: "Oh, well, see, this isn't really the devil, it's just, well, it's sort of a mascot." Native: "And what kind of football team has the devil as a mascot?" Me: "Oh, it's not a team. It's an operating-- uh, a kind of computer." I figured that an ATM machine was about as much technology as these guys could handle, and I knew that if I so much as uttered the word "unix" I would only make things worse. Native: "Where does this satanical computer come from?" Me: "California. And there's nothing satanical about it really." Somewhere along the line here, the waitress has noticed my predicament--but these guys probably outweighed her by 600 pounds, so all she did was look at me sympathetically and run off into the kitchen.

Fortunately, the waitress returned that very instant with my order, and they agreed that it would be okay for me to actually pay for my food before I left. While I was at the cash register, they amused themselves by talking to each other. Native #1: "Do you think the police know about these devil computers?" Native #2: "If they come from California, then the FBI oughta know about 'em." They escorted me to the door. I tried one last time: "You're really blowing this all out of proportion. A lot of people use this `kind of computers.' Universities, researchers, businesses. They're actually very useful." Big, big, BIG mistake. I should have guessed at what came next. Native: "Does the government use these devil computers?" Me: "Yes." Another BIG boo-boo. Native: "And does the government pay for 'em? With our tax dollars?" I decided that it was time to jump ship. Me: "No. Nope. Not at all. You're tax dollars never entered the picture at all. I promise. No sir, not a penny. Our good Christian congressmen would never let something like that happen. Nope. Never. Bye." Texas.

Otherwise, the current location is set by teleporting the system. The first dd is the degrees of latitude (negative for south); mm is the minutes of latitude; ss is the seconds of latitude. The second ddd is the degrees of longitude (negative for west); and so on. For example: place 385100-1050300 sets the location of the system to the top of Pikes Peak, Colorado. The correct altitude is automatically provided and cannot be specified. The system operates in feet. Place takes care of the conversion to and from local standard measurement units. When a new location is set, all logged-in terminals and users are transported along with all other system peripherals. If the -v (verbose) option is specified when a new location is set, place prints a running description of the locations the system passes through enroute to the given destination. Note that this can slow down transport time considerably, from instantaneous to however long it takes to print the description to standard output. This option is not recommended if stdout is a terminal connected at less than 4800 baud, since hitting BREAK can leave the system stranded. Attempting to set the place off-planet generates a warning, and requires an extra confirmation from the (super)user. If the argument begins with ``+'', the output of place is under the control of the user. The format for the output is similar to that of date(1). All output fields which use hours, minutes, or seconds are applicable (substitute "degrees" for hours, where appropriate). Place writes an accounting record on the file /usr/adm/wtmp. DIAGNOSTICS No permission -- If you aren't the super-user and you try to move the system. bad conversion --If the place set is syntactically incorrect, or below sea level. bad format character-- If the field descriptor is not recognizable. FILES /dev/kmem /usr/adm/wtmp /usr/lib/altitudes AUTHOR Alan Silverstein, Hewlett-Packard SEE ALSO date(1), whereami(1) BUGS If there is not a supply of compatible electric power at the new location, the system usually crashes before place finishes writing accounting information to /usr/adm/wtmp. This command should not be used on systems connected to a Local Area Network, for obvious reasons. _________________________________________________________________ -------------------------- Message 224 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Wed Mar 19 05:43:53 1997 EST From: Jayren (#10514) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: bit late, though still funny.

I really want some people cause moos are no fun without people so i got about 8 people who either will build or program, but i need some ideas. The theme is medieval times. (it changed) It doesnt have many classes so if you got a cool idea for a class send me the idea and you can be the leader of the class. eg Yjezra is the head of dragonriders on here. Ok. Also if you want to play send me some mail i send you more details and also if you tell me know your character will be quikly created and special thing you can get, maybe some stat boost, or atleast easy boosting for a while, also maybe a speical weapon or armor or anything/ Im more looking for play ers now but if youd like ot help build the moo but not stay a builder that'd be cool and youd get extra stuff as well. Im a casual guy so i only do rules that everyone wants, its not going to be over ruled, or have bitchy (pardon my french) people who like to complain and get their way. So please come and atleast drop me a send, or send me email at eldonokr@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca to talk to me about my moo, and get your charcter ready. SO far we got some great wizards and such for the moo and were looking ofrward to seeing you there. Also just to tell everyone who likes mudding... Im a mudder and like mudding alot, i found THE best mud there is, so if your looking for a mud go to Lunar Eclipse with the number addy as 206.28.93.7:1234 Its a great mud with rping option, with 7 clans, 6 classes, 10 races, and much more. Lots of chat lines, and the most friendlies immortals in the world! So if you want a little change dont quit this moo cause it rocks! but might as well try out my moo as well as Lunar Eclipse Mud.

Red/Rem Back in October, Tempest aka Caroline and I were going through some difficault times, most of it was me. I suffer from a desease called Crohns and also because of this I have major depression. I at that time leaned on my old friend Diane. We talked about her bringing back Remembrance to add some excitement into the game and for her to have a son that was Red Fangs. We slowly got things rolling but times where hard and I was slipping badly so it was hard for me to rp much. Caroline broke up with me about the middle of October and I slipped more and more into a depression and didn't go ic much. During that time we were also planning the Moo bash and I concentrated on that mostly as a distraction. Things started getting better, slowly.. November was hard for me but December things picked up and the rp picked up too. At that time I started planning the Oasis tp with the Aztec preist. I went to the Moo bash and had a great time and returned to be offered my geo bit. That distracted me from rp for awhile but things were going good. Then Arwen came on and we started talking alot. She got some funny ideas which where not ever ment to be ic.. Anyone that ever watched the girl rp knew she didn't do it to well. I really am and was fond of her though and we had several good talks. I am not sure what happened but she got me into trouble several times icly for things that were strictly ooc. Anyhow I let several people know this. Diane was one of these people. I trusted her. In Diane's attempt to help me with Arwen she told her all about several confidental things I didn't want told. Anyhow things went on, then I started the Oasis tp and that took Red into that plot for awhile. When Red returned he found Rem and Soli in his home talking. Things might of gone ok but Remembrance attacked Red about being out doing this and that. Instead of excusing her friend and talking about it she let him join in.. I did the only thing a Fang could do :P I beat the snot out of them both.. At that time she ran off with Xan. Since that time she's refused nearly all rp to do with it. It was her way or no way.. she wasn't going to be angst for anyone.. So I have been. She created Xan and Rem for me as a friend. She used me and when I confided in her about rl things she ignored them and continued to use them against me.. she knew about Arwen but continued using her too. She know my mind wasn't up to this shit she pulled but she continued it over and over. When it got hot and I was getting the better of her she used her wiz powers to erase the boy renaming the ahab big mistake or something like that. Since January of this year I've gotten worse over time with the depression. The greatest distraction from it was coming here and rping .. My kidnapping of Myst and Thistle was in retailiation for Rem's hiding of the boy.. I was RP all along. It was the funnest time I ever had on this moo, both Thistle and Myst are the greatest rpers in all the land. Everyone wanted to save them but the fact was they didn't want to be saved *grins* Yes I am the best at kidnappings.. My slaves love me.. Seriously though we had the end worked out so thats what we did. the first of March I had sorta a break down, since then I haven't moo'd much at all but I am doing better. I am so hyper its hard to sit still at the computer though so my mooing is suffering. Anyway thats the story. My biggest complaint is a friend who I trusted and leaned on in a time of need too that to an advantage. So, I guess I won't play with them anymore. My story of what happened to Xan is they abused him and killed him buring his tiny body in the wasteland. Red will never believe blood tests or a story about him being sent to Rem's parents. Sorry if this is too spammy, had to get it off my chest.

I can't imagine a single mage even owning any of this equipment, let alone use any of it along with their undodgeable, unresistable spells. Good thing too, otherwise I'd have something to object to. I do have a suggestion however, as usual. Since there are now guidelines for mages to pose/spoof whatever the hell they feel like, depending on their level (from freezing your limbs, locking your mouth closed, and knocking you around with gusts of wind as Seekers to who-knows-what when *dangerous* levels of 'skill' are achieved (world-creation/ destruction anyone)), you know what I'd like to see? Someone eat crystals to compensate for the presumed fatigue incurred by such uncoded activity.

Im at my friends house I work with today. She has an alt here name Lehua, we took her into the lounge. I was playing her and basically wanted to see what would happen if I mouthed off to another player who I knew that was stronger then her. The reaction was as I expected, I was attacked through uncoded magery. Now this is fine, but the question I have is why the uncoded attacks are stronger then those of coded. Now if that was Smoke in there, she could have killed that mage in a few hits. But by doing that I would be labeled a twink. Why...why is it so two sided on this moo? There are people running around out there who never spar, never hunt, but they seem to have a lot of power and a lot of nice weapons. Then they emote that they are strong and evil and you supposed to fall down dead at their feet. But in turn, I spent a lot of time creating Smoke, making her the char I want her to be. And for that Im labeled as a loser or a bitch. I dont understand it. To me it seems the moo has been devided, by those who have and those who have not. Those who have are the ones who have the wizzes at their beckon call, or ARE wizzes who create a little world where only they and chosen ones are allowed to play in. They are given weapons and special favors. Those who have not are the one who come here to really play, not kiss ass and move up the ranks as it should be. Im sure this is going to piss a lot of ppl off, but you know what. I dont care anymore. Im tired of tip toeing around here to appease the upper echelon. I dont think any weapons, crystals to boost stats or favoritism should be handed out on this moo. Some of us feel very uncomfortable giving cyber blow jobs in order to get what we want. Im sorry to spam the hell out of everyone, but I like my char. She is someone I cant be irl, she fills that void. From now on Im going to play the char I created. If I want something Im going to take it, if you piss off Smoke she is going to kill you.....cause you know what, Im not going to get it from a wizard. I dont expect to receive things through whining, begging or without working for them. Some of you ppl really scare me. What exactly do you think is going to happen irl when you open that front door.

This MOO is not all about coded combat. If you want that, go to a nice DikuMUD. This is coded and non-coded combat here. Some choose to fight with coded, others choose to fight with non coded. The problem arises when one side or the other decides their way is the only way and to hell with everyone else. So, Smoke, please stop your whining and take a moment to actually consider the feelings of someone other then yourself and maybe have a bit more ruffage in your diet.

I'm going to attempt to make this brief. I am also not going to take a side in this argument, call me Sweden. I know for one, that all of the items I have attained, I have done so through RP. I spar my alts, but not too much. I would far rather interact with people on this MOO, be they $player, $wiz, or any permutation inbetween. At one point I was told I 'had some nice stuff for such a newbie', but you know what? I feel I earned it. Not by asking someone 'Psst, hey, can I blow you for a ?' or 'Hey, I know you can just @create a , I won't tell anyone...' for a few simple reasons. 1 - It's not fair to the other players. 2 - If that friend is a wiz, and they get caught, they are in deep shit, and my friendships sure mean alot more to me than any long knife or pile of crystals for a character that doesn't exist. People DO. 3 - If I get something in such a way, where is the fun or challenge? What have I really accomplished. Not much, other than needing to wipe some brown off my nose and keep an eye onn my back. That's not too much fun. Alot of the people involved in this little debate are people I do consider friends, on both sides. It's fun to RP with all of you, but not so great to argue. We're all here for a little escapism, to relax for whatever reasons ugly ol' IRL tosses our way. If we abuse the positions we have ICly, people aren't going to want to interact with us. Whether you choose coded or uncoded combat is up to you, no matter who you are. Bear in mind your skills when you do, make sure everyone understands the rules whichever you choose. I know RL for me is pretty un-fun right now, I come here to get away for a bit, and unwind. If my escapism becomes as frustrating and generically oppressive as my RL, I'm going to want to stay away. After all... nobody wins here, we 'win' by having fun in the time we do spend while online. Ok, maybe that wasn't so short. Sorry about that, but you know me and spam.

This is not meant to be an attack, just an observation and a question. In the recomb notes in the game files, it notes that no human DNA is used, etc., however, by default, we logically begin the game with human body areas. If we are to give ourselves a description, and make clothing items, etc., this poses a problem, for one. Also, it seems that we should not take these characters IC until it is found, because in effect, we would be 'human' until we can be recombbified. It seems that since we enter this reality as a recomb, this is an OOC process, and finding it ICly makes little sense to me. Not trying to whine, this is an honest question, and if possible, I would appreciate clarification on it.

Ok.. this is going a little too far now. There are consequences for breaking the rules, and they apply to players, and also to bitted persons. Players may be ignored, or temporaily sent to Tarterus, if they persistently break a rule. Normally, they get warned about abuses of the system first, or are told what rules they have been breaking, just in case they were unclear on the matter. Generally, most people hear about it if someone is sent to Tarterus, or is otherwise reprimanded. The word goes out on twinkish behavior, and people respond. In the case of a bitted person breaking a rule, quite simply, it is highly possible that that person could lose their bit, as well as being ignored, etc. Before actions are taken, a little investigation goes into it, and the wiz can be highly reprimanded. Just because it is not always publicly announced, does not mean it does not happen. We are supposed to go to the bitted people for help, remember? They will help, and will do what they can for you, if you approach them politely. They will also be the first ones to tell you if what it is that you are asking for is out of line, or conflicts with theme, game balance, etc., from my experience. This is not meant to indicate that I think Smoke is a twink, or to hint that Eponine has been reprimanded, just pointing out that there are means by which the people who break the rules are handled. The best thing to do if you suspect an abuse - report it to someone you trust, or to a few people. Posting it publicly doesn't always work, and will often start a flame war, which we just don't need. Reporting abuses of the system is supposed to be a means of helping -everyone- out. Sorry for the spam... but it did have to be said.

FRIENDS WITHOUT FACES We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes. We wait for somebody, to type out our name We want recognition, but it is always the same. We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt. We do form friendships - but - why we don't know But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow. Why is it on screen, we can be so bold Telling our secrets, that have never been told. Why is it we share, the thoughts in our mind With those we can't see, as though we were blind. The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell. We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.

And, as Damien points out, kidnapping plots are contingent upon ongoing consent of the folks involved. You are at liberty to RP the end of the plot as you wish -- be you kidnapper or kidnappee. Player B can say he was so depressed he swallowed his boxer shorts which resulted in self-suffocation (or whatever, and go his merry way). Player A can RP that Player B's full of chit -- that Player B was murdered in a blood offering or whatever. The story belongs to the players writing it, minute to minute.

(Warning.. not dirty but stupid.. ) PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - A woman is suing the pharmacy that sold her a popular contraceptive jelly - because she ate the stuff on toast and got pregnant anyway. And, incredibly, many legal experts are saying she's got an excellent chance of collecting! "The woman is a complete idiot," said one attorney who asked that we not use his name. "How bright can you be if you think eating a vaginal gel will prevent conception? "But certain aspects of the case involve truth in labeling and false advertising issues. She may not collect but she'll make a lot of noise and trouble. People are down on lawyers anyway. They think we waste time and money on frivolous lawsuits. This isn't going to help our public relations any." A spokesman for the unnamed mom-and-pop drugstore says he's shocked and angry that such a case could ever be taken seriously. "All she has to do is open the box and read the directions," says the spokesman. "Next thing you know someone will come after us because they couldn't stick things together with their toothpaste. "I can just imagine some moron saying: 'It's paste, isn't it? Why can't I glue these papers onto my bulletin board?' " But attorneys for Mrs. Chyton say she was swindled and lied to by implication and they intend to make the pharmacy pay $500,000 for the hardship the woman will have to endure. "It says right on it 'jelly,'" says Mrs. Chyton, a former model who was once a cheerleader for a popular professional basketball team. "And they kept it on the shelf just two aisles from the food section. I know, now, that the directions say it should be used vaginally with a condom. "But who has time to sit around reading directions these days - especially when you're sexually aroused? "The company should call it something else and the pharmacy shouldn't sell it without telling each and every customer who buys it that eating it won't prevent you from getting pregnant." As bizarre as it sounds, the pharmacy could wind up losing the lawsuit. "It's hard for businesses to avoid troublesome lawsuits," said another attorney. "With the courts bending over backwards to please consumer groups, the temper of the times is perfect for these crackpots to bring legal action against businesses - even a moronic legal action like this." *I know people who would do such a thing....* -------------------------- Message 417 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Sat May 17 14:42:55 1997 EDT From: Yjezra (#5288) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Retcon There is a retcon of a confrontaion between Lise, Nigel and two DragonRiders, Yg and Yshar last night in the Lounge and on the R/T helipad.

Thanx (Woo hoo, that was itentional Medea!) in advance. -Jas. -------------------------- Message 419 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Mon May 19 17:48:12 1997 EDT From: Mulder (#709) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: wedding stuff The wedding, scheduled for tommorow night around midnight, eastern time, will take place on Toosay, in a newly built chapel in Kiwiki Park. Instructions are as follows: 1. Take transport to Toosay (arrive at transport center) 2. Exit transport center and go north to the road, which you take west to the center of town. 3. At the center of town go south, and then enter Kiwiki Park. You can't miss the chapel. The IC time of the wedding may fall in the afternoon or morning, but call it a pre-ret-conn, but the wedding happens at 'night' around 8pm, regardless of our scheduling problems. Dress is evening formal, but nobody's going to get stared at for wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I hope to see you all there.

Actually, while the term 'Twink' currently encompasses all of the various types of nuissance players on the moo, I believe it was originaly used to refer to that special class of idiots who pursued the coded-combat segment of GW's Combat/Role-Play/Social virtual environment in a manner that was detrimental to players trying to enjoy the other aspects of the moo. Since many of the obnoxious behaviors common to such 'Twinks', such as hording, blatant ic/ooc violations, pking without prior roleplay, and so on, are shared by many nuisance players, the term has grown into its present useage. -------------------------- Message 428 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Thu May 22 18:27:02 1997 EDT From: Jasper (#17572) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Twinks, revisited...

Dave Letterman's Lines of the Week Monday, May 5 - Friday, May 9 "Ladies and gentlemen, more news from the friendly folks at the Heaven's Gate cult. Yesterday, another cult member boarded the Mother Ship...He said that he did not leave with the original group because he didn't want to miss that episode of 'Ellen.'" "You know, one of the requirements for the Heaven's Gate cult was castration. And I'm thinking, 'Well, geez, maybe that should be a requirement for the Kennedys.'" "Earlier this week, another member of the Heaven's Gate cult boarded the Mother Ship. Drank a combination of phenobarbitol and vodka, or as it's known in the magazine ads, 'Absolut Coma.'" "I think it's safe to say this -- and, again, I don't like talking about people after they've gone -- but I think the Heaven's Gate people are gullible, you know? Because they believe that after you die you get to ride on a spaceship. They also believe that story about Eddie Murphy going out at 4:30 to pick up a paper." "We are very excited, we are very proud. Earlier tonight, right here on CBS was the 'Knots Landing' reunion movie. It's all part of CBS' 'Big Face-Lift Wednesday.'" "You know what I did? I sneaked a peek over there on ABC because I believe all week long on ABC is '3-D Glasses Week'...It's unbelievably effective, though. I put on my 3-D glasses. I want to tell you something, it looked like Ellen was coming out of my closet." "Over the weekend out there in California, our old friend Eddie Murphy was stopped by the police after he picked up a transsexual prostitute...Giving a transsexual a lift in Hollywood is nothing new. It happens all the time. It's known as a 'RuPaul U-Haul.'" "Ladies and gentlemen, here's a program reminder: tonight, the Fox Television Network is running the Robin Williams' movie, 'Mrs. Doubtfire.' They've added a brand-new scene at the end -- she's picked up by Eddie Murphy." "I love stuff like this -- over the weekend, world chess champion Gary Kasparov was defeated by the IBM computer, Deep Blue. Deep Blue defeated Gary Kasparov. In a related story, earlier today, the New York Mets were defeated by a microwave oven." "But you know, this Deep Blue, this computer, Deep Blue, is a very, very intelligent machine. This machine, to give you an idea how smart it is -- it has the good sense not to pick up a drag queen on Santa Monica Boulevard." "Donald Trump and Marla Maples have announced they are getting a divorce...Donald and Marla are handling this thing very good-naturedly. They say they will continue to be friends and also continue to cheat on each other." "But Marla Maples, I think, is 31. She's still young. She has enough time left to, you know, marry a couple of more guys for their money." "Ladies and gentlemen, I have some exciting news for you. I'll give it to you in three words. Ready? Marla Maples Perot! What do you think?" "Boy, this was quick. You know, Chelsea Clinton, in the fall, is going to college at Stanford University. Earlier today, President Clinton rented out her old room to Marla Maples."

I was looking for something not even concerning Appalene that may have been left on her from another character prior. Serenio doesn't bother with the polite remarks instead going off with her fun little atypical Smokeness.. Here.. I have some *choice* comments: Serenio says, "I thought you were dead" Serenio says, "Then get the hell out of here, there is no reason for you to be in here." You say, "I was checking something" Serenio says, "Out, or Ill have a wiz move you out." emote rolls her eyes. Appalene rolls her eyes. You say, "I didn't know i was in here smokinmuffins" Appalene yawns. Serenio says, "get out of here you little bitch." . At present point I logged off, didn't want to deal with her and her barage of fun remark. I log back in, attempting to move my character, and what do I wake up to, but an unconcious Appalene.

He was six years old. Authorities believe that the death occurred at approximately 8:42 PM last evening. Best known as the irritating pink bunny that kept going, and going, and going. "Pinkie" as he was known to his friends and relatives, was alone at the time of his death. An autopsy was performed early this morning. Chief Medical Examiner, Dura Cell, concluded that the cause of death was acute cardiac arrest, induced by sexual over-stimulation. Apparently, someone had put Mr. Bunny's batteries in backwards -- and he kept coming, and coming, and coming.....

If you don't play, why do you need them? Aside from that, why stay at all in a place where people are so unfair and poor of judgement? 2.

The second time from a locked container in a locked tent, the container being locked down. If that doesn't say something about abuse of @move, what does? And this is, as I've said, the second time something like this has happened. The first time it happened, -I- was treated like the person who had done something wrong, which I hadn't. The bitted people who are here are not simply chosen for their coding/building/writing skills. They are also chosen for their administrative skills. HOWEVER, they are human. We all make mistakes. The issue really should be if we continue to make those mistakes after we realize that they -are- mistakes. And agreeing with a few others, builders work damned hard as well. Just because someone who is a builder might just now be learning to code to earn that programmer bit, it does -not- make them any less skilled a role-player, administrator, or creative person.

Everyones way of dealing with situations have some good in them, because they are different. Diversity is what offers us the opportunity to have a fun time here, and certainly, if it was one style of administration that was needed/wanted here by Quinny's rule, then he would have just not bothered to give programmer bits, GEO or GM perms to anyone, and just developed the whole darned place himself. BUT, that has not happened and rightly so. It would be no fun otherwise. As for wise.... I laugh that anyone here would _pretend_ to actually know what wise is... Even the wisest of wisemen and women did not pretend that they actually were, it was something that just was, and it reflected in their lives, but sure as hell, they did not go around determining who was wise and not. Basically, wise is like beauty. It is in the eye of the beholder. One problem solved, is another created and this has been human history for centuries and centuries. I am one of the older staff members here, and I certainly would not consider myself "wise" or more of an admin just because of it. No. In my private life I am a manager of a successful store, I meditate through circular breathing methods, I study Buddhism meditation as well, I am active in my community etc... I lead a pretty well rounded life, and through this, (Normally) I am able to draw experiences and wisdom that I need to continue living and such. But as someone in the previous posts stated, we are all humans. I have recently been faced with something here that I felt was completely insignificant yet to others it was not, and so I trivialized it. People were upset and I reacted harshly, and wrongly. This has been a very good experience and I know what to do next time to prevent myself from reacting again like this. That is what being a good GM TEK GEO is in my opinion... Growing and learning both IRL and here... I hope that this post will help others here doing our Admin jobs, and players as well.. Power here is easy to let go to our heads, (Also been there) and it is up to us to grow past the infantile behaviour that causes many upsets and little RPing... Good RPing to all and Good Admining to us... Hopefully we will make this place desireable for more.

Victim shall we), but this victim had way better stats then any 3 combined members of the mob... who would win? So that RP and combat orientated players wouldn't feel slighted because _(one)_ the combat orientated player may feel since there stats are way above any mob member that they could possibly win in a *real life* situation (which is very unlikely but not impossible) and _(two)_ the RP'er would feel that almost any mob would definately win because they have the numbers to overwhelme anyway, (but keeping a more RP scenario the victim would rather try to combine the RPing and combat orientation(cuse it may be there strongest point) But situation _(two)_ is only a surmised possibility cuse I'm not a very good one (For those critics out there :) ) So to make my point finally, If a mob came along and attack one victim surely the mob would win....

Yay. We then proceeded to Real/Time, where we stauntered in and announced that we were there to see casper. They responded, "They're bringing it out." and we thought 'cool'. Then this guy walks out, with a machine under his arm... and we all collectively mumble to ourselves, 'oh shit'. No, they hadn't saved the DB, no they hadn't gracefully shutdown the MOO, and no they didn't know how to restart it. So they plugged the machine in, in the middle of Real/Time's front offices. Casper itself is relatively unimpressive. It's a desktop case, with twin 5 1/4 inch drive bays missing. It has a 3 1/2 inch floppy, an IDE hard drive, and a rather wimpy looking motherboard. There's a cheap VGA card and an Ethernet card, and there's no cover on the case. The digital mhz readout reads '46'. So there's this paper-white VGA (I assume) montior sitting ontop of a coverless case, with the keyboard laying over it, a blue ethernet cable trailing away into a dark closet somewhere. So I walk them through re-starting the MOO, Kynwal gets on and posts a note of semi-explanation, and we sit around and chuckle for about a half hour. Lots of pictures with people with their hands next to power buttons, and that sortof thing. We try to call Guru, but get this strange answering machine, and nobody else shows up. So, Kynwal and Darius Lee have to be at a LARP Razorhawk's running at 7 or 8, so we get ready to leave. I dig through the release notes and figure out how to gracefully kill the MOO, and make sure they remember to restart it after they move it back to whereever it usually sits. So we head off to the LARP around 6, stopping at Kynwals to get a bag for the ice and his character sheet, me idly worring that somebody's gonna show up at Quackenbush's and nobody's gonna be there to meet them. So we drive out east on MLK, looking for this house where the LARP's at, having no idea where we're going. We finally find the place, which feels like its half way to Houston, and the people we know aren't there. So, we head down the road to a BBQ place and have dinner. Darius and Kynwal split three ribs, and we generally made fools of ourselves. Go fig, so we drive to the Maximart and get ice, Darius calls her dad, and we try to give directions. No dice, so we drive back to the house and see if there's a phone. There is, but the owners in the shower. Ok, so it's back to the Maximart. I try to give directions to Dari's dad, but something gets lost in the translation. I drop Kynwal and Darius Lee off at the LARP, and head back into Austin, hopefully to see if somebody showed up at Quack's. I park, walk down to Quack's, and am startled at the sign on the door that reads 'new summer hours: 7am - 7pm'. So I dawdle over to the Dobie, spend a couple bucks at the used book store, drive up to Half Price books, and spend a couple dozen more, then drive home. Needless to day, both Guru and Stalinger tried to find us, so they can slap me around for not following the schedule later. This morning it's raining. I guess that's a no-go for a summers day at Zilker. I drive up to Kynwal's around 12, and pick up him and Darius Lee. We talk to Resin, tell him to meet us at Book People around 1pm, and Stalinger, who's standing in the rain at Zilker with Deckard. We pile into the car, drive down to Zilker, meet up with Stal and Deckard, and then head to book people (with a stop at the Omni hotel for Darius Lee to pick up some stuff), and meet up with Resin. At Book People, everybody decides they're hungry, and we head off to Kirby Lane Cafe. An hour later we're actually sitting around a table, munching on queso and chips, pondering the mysteries of the universe. Lunch comes, and we head off to Planet-K to look at the neato four guage piercing stuff. (We're all pensively waiting for a volunteer (preferably female) to try out a paint-on 'liquid latex' bodysuit.) After Planet-K, we all head back to Kynwal's place, and sit around playing on the Playstation and munching on cookies. Around 7 or 8, we finally decide to go to a midnight movie, and go to double daves and play pool. The movie's nixed because we're all tired, and so we pile into cars and journey to Double Daves Pizzaworks, ponder sketch comedy shows, and play pool (I won 2 games in a row, and only sunk three balls! Woohoo!). Around 10:30 we decide to head home, and meet up the next day for the 11:45 showing of Batman and Robin at the Arbor 7. I drive Kynwal and Darius Lee to their respective homes, and drive home, where I'm sitting and typing this. And that's all he wrote. -------------------------- Message 565 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Sun Jun 22 01:48:14 1997 EDT From: Mulder (#709) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Addendum to last post An addendum.

We watched Batman and Robin... and the sets were really nice. Guru, Deckard, Stalinger, Razorhawk, her hubbie, Kynwal, Darius Lee, and myself were there. Resin tried to make it, I hear, but must have just missed us. After the movie me and Kynwal drove Darius Lee to the airport, stopping to put water in the radiator of my car, and then again on the highway to make sure the hood was closed. (It wasn't.) After that, we went back to Kynwal's place and all the GM's sat around and talked about our hopes and dreams for Ghostwheel, and how cool this and that would be, and how those players really get on our nerves. Deckard played on the PlayStation. We then got online, started listing our demands, and people slowly dropped out until it was just Kynwal, Stalinger, and me. We got hungry, so we decided to go to Taco Cabana. (Leaving Razorhawk alone with the computer.) After Taco Cabana, we drove back to Kynwal's place, and Stalinger whooped up on Disrupter on the PlayStation. And then everybody went home. Pictures will be developed and posted shortly, I have a few shots to go on my camera which I'll probably take tommorow and the next day. -------------------------- Message 579 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Mon Jun 23 01:12:54 1997 EDT From: Kzin (#5800) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Razorhawk, etc, etc,Terminus Est, Falchion, etc etc Well, god, lookie here jimbob!

Well, for the few who might notice my minor disappearing act over the next few days, I'm going out of town with (of all people) my mother from Tuesday 'til late late late Sunday night for a conference in which I will get to learn how to make little plastic beads that look like natural stone. Being a stone freak, something in this -deeply- offends me, but I get the impression my mom needs to get away for a while, and she wants some company at this big pretentious crafts get-together that she knows. The real fun will be when she finds out I smoke... (23 years old, and yet, I know I'm still going to be royally in for it. *grumble*) I should be back on Sunday, late late at night, but knowing me, as tired as I am I will be back for my fix. (Might be on a bit tomorrow morning, depending on how much I am unable to sleep, too, before we leave.) BTW... for the two of you who might be interested, I found a web site that has my one published piece of art up on it at the moment. Of course, all the detail and color got lost in the teensy black and white scan, but if you'd like to see it, the URL is http://www.io.com/~mjg/visionary/stuff.html ..granted, the piece is a few years old now, but if you were ever wondering what Zyn looked like, that's pretty much her on the left.

A few things I wanted to bring up. Firstly, Appearance. I think the reason most people have been putting [RP] instead of the ten points is that you'd have to be an absolute lunatic to use 10 uncoded pts on appearance. Besides, nobody pays any attention to Appearance notes on your sheet.. Heh, they'll read your desc, and decide for themselves how beautiful/handsome/haggish/ugly you are.. Sorta makes appearance on one's sheet pointless, except as a note. Point numero dos: Uncoded magic skills. Lore vs. Non-lore.. Ahhh, Being a mage, I'd note that none of my skills are lore, but are proficiency at casting particular forms of magic. I.e., Black magic, elemental earth magic, ect. For most mages thier uncoded sheet is a large portion of the way they play thier character. This is a roleplaying tool for many of us, and allows us to specify our character's boundaries and proficiencies. Telling us to simply fall back on the coded system is, I'm sorry, just silly. A large amount of the magic used on here is posed, for both combat and ritual magic, as well as basic cantrips for seekers.. These are only a couple examples.. My point here is that as we are limited in the number of coded spells we can learn, and since magic skills on our sheet are a major tool for most good mage roleplayers, 80 on *RPG is a pretty drastic change.. Next Dark Metal MUSH.. What is it? what are +prove and +action? Could you please post either to this list or to me personally what you mean by this? Lastly, for coding the uncoded system in general.. *groans* Please, rethink this. Coding the uncoded and loading it down with rules is only likely to add rigidness to an otherwords well made system. Allow uncoded skill based roleplaying to be a work of poetry, not a multiple-choice test :P As I have had pointed out to me, Razorhawk's ruling seems to be the final one here.. I accept her right to have the final word, as I respect her position on this system.. But, as with my attitude towards Stalinger's recent *mages post, I do not nessescarily agree. I may only be a $player (possibly Geo, sometime soon (*cough*Answeryetquinn?:)*cough*)), but I think the point I am making here is a legitimate one, as well as one shared by many of the players here..

Okay...first off...Asty and Rathe were in the bar...Nomar and Rathe were arguing about the price of a laser pistol. All 3 involved _were_ IC. Asty emotes passing by Rathe or something to that effect, and sits at the bar, not too far from Rathe. Asty doesn't emote looking at Rathe, and vice versa...the most that is involved from there on out is a smalltalk "Heya how goes.." sort of thing. Rathe turns back and finishes arguing over the price with Nomar, and the deal falls through. Asty, during this time with Rathe and Nomar arguing, emotes looking through the bar's crowd, and -listening- to the conversations closest to him....remember, he sat down not _too_ far from Rathe....close enough yes, to hear Rathe and Nomar. Deal falls through, and Rathe and Nomar split...Asty leaves after they do. Asty calls Nomar on the comm couple days later, sets up the deal for the same pistol. Deal is agreed on, and Asty sets the location. Asty arrives first, then Nomar. Nomar comes into the room, and Asty asks, "You got the pistol?" It's at this point Nomar _hands_ the pistol and charges to Asty. Asty never drew a blade, or even _emoted_ a threat. And yet again, both Nomar and Asty were IC. I was kinda OOCly suprised...so I pointed out OOCly to Nomar that Asty is Adversary, EVIL, and a Necromancer to boot...I explained the details of Asty's recent doings, and told him that Asty had ICly planned on waiting for him to enter, then was going to pound him into unconsciousness. Given the ract that Nomar nearly threw it at Asty, I -OOCly- decided not to KO him, and so just pointed out that Rathe and Asty out thought him, then Asty left...not long after, Nomar's mail to *chat.

I'm warning the faint of heart. This is going to be spammy. This is a response to some of the new edicts from our continuity and theme person, Razorhawk. FIRST- I am setting up a world myself at the moment. This is a tremendous task, and requires a great deal of time, effort, though, research, and dedication, which I fully realize. We wouldn't have the site that we do now if she had not done one hell of alot of work. That needs to be respected, which I do. Anything said further in this post is meant to be a contructive criticism, and is NOT meant to be hurtful, or diminish that respect. Also, bear in mind that the things I am noting are from what I have learned as a player on this MOO, therefore, these opinions may not be fully informed. First, when creating players, there is, or at least, when I arrived here was, little documentation as to what is/was allowed for a character -concept-. By 'concept' I do not mean character class (ie. recomb, dragonrider, etc.), but background, reasoning, history, motivations, etc. There is basic information on the theme of the site, and from what I understand, far more detailed information available to the bitted persons. Understanding that some people abuse OOC information IC, there is reason for things to be hidden as to the realites of the MOO world, however, this also opens up the possibility for a great deal of misunderstanding and misinterpretation. I have seen players come in as demon lords, ghosts, fae, and other such creations common to a number of fantasy worlds. After having been around for a while, I have learned that such characters are 'unacceptable' in the GW reality, though as a new player, I had no idea. These things are not explicitly laid out to new players. The most information I saw about such crossovers in character creation was from 'game advantages' in which it states that you should not make a character that looks like a recomb, but is not, and that there is no form of telepathy in the GW universe save the advantage listed there. That leaves a great deal open to interpretation. As a new person, coming in, it never -says- that you cannot be a wraith who hunts crystals for souls, or a dragon trapped in human form who wishes to be a dragonrider because he would be able to be close to his own kind, a half-breed fae who is attuned to magic, etc. The list goes on. For players who have been around, yes, they know these things. For a new player, such information is less available. If they are lucky enough to know people on the site, they might be told these things, though it is possible that the people that they know might not know either. It may not say these things, but many people ask, 'shouldn't you just know?' No. How can you know, if no one tells you, tells you why, or you can't find that information? What if someone tells you yes, and another says no? There are a great many genre types that seem to merge in the GW world. The battletech style soulmechs, the 'furry' recombs, etc. This invites people to use their imaginations and expand upon these elements further, or their conception of what those things are. Second, the lack of detailed information, abusable though it may be, allows this divergence from the original theme of the GW universe to grow further. I have heard, as well as been told, "No, you can't play because it doesn't fit the theme," then been told that I could not be told -why- it doesn't fit the theme, or how to adapt my idea to allow it to work within the framework of the GW universe. This sometimes gets down to very nitpicky topics, which require some form of means of resolution. For example: (and please, do not turn this into a flame war over this example, it's pointless) "A mage cannot be a bionic." Ok. Why? What exactly defines something as a 'bionic' element? How much of a mage's body be replaced, if any at all? Etc. There are a great many players out there with wonderful imaginations. These problems wouldn't surface if there weren't. Through a loose definition of 'bionic', subbies were allowed bionic implants, though such was prohibited in 'game advantages'. This is just an example of how these nebulous definitions that are currently provided can be exploited. Giving players more detailed information may, yes, allow abuse of OOC knowledge IC, though it will also give players a greater range of information about what is, and what is not acceptable in the GW reality. This is important for preventing misunderstanding, and the current problems that have arisen seem to demonstrate this explicitly. It is often said that 'by the time a rule is needed, it is already too late'. This, sadly, is also quite evident in the recent events and rulings. This world, though mainted themewise by one person, has been added to greatly by the efforts of the bitted persons, as well as by the players. Thus, it has evolved. The enjoyment of the players is the purpose for this site, isn't it? In truth, there are some players that exploit what they have, legitimate or not, to the detriment of other players. This will happen no matter what rules are implemented, no matter what guidelines are set, and no matter what punishments are given out. That, unfortunately, is a part of human nature, testing the boundaries. In terms of cheating, this is a bad thing, though do we look on all exapansion of what information we are given as cheating? Is every stretch of what we see a cheat, or is some of it creativity? Is the person who plays someone who can read emotions through an empathic ability a bad player, and a cheater, seen on the same level as someone who finds a loophole in the code and fails to report it, but exploits it to gain an advantage over other players through abuse of the code? Nowhere in the rules does it say that you must report a bug that you find in the system, and many can state "I didn't know it wasn't supposed to work that way," and get away with such abuses of code. Should the people who wish to RP their characters in a certain manner be treated more harshly, having to recreate their characters from scratch, (a far more harsh punishment, truth be told) because they claim the same ignorance of what is, and is not allowed? Finding a bug in the system and gaining an advantage seems, at least to me, to be far less a crime under these new guidelines than using your imagination and making a character that you, as a player, would enjoy role playing. It is possible for someone to not know that something code-wise they are doing is considered a cheat. Given the information and previously available guidelines, how can we not give the same benefit of the doubt to players who simply wish to role play in a certain manner? The truth is, since this world has evolved through the collective imaginations of the staff and the players, and little has been done to stop this evolution through time, these many and sudden changes seem heavy-handed and ill informed. Many players will have to retcon literally years of their characters' lives, their concepts, and possibly abandon those characters, and wipe their existence from the memory of GW. This, though possibly in subtle ways, will affect every player on the MOO to some extent. Think of the ripples: If my character was given an enchanted item by a player whose concept is no longer viable, and that character's existence is retconned, I should, in fairness, give the weapon to a bitted person to redistribute in the MOO. (I am not a toy junkie, this is simply another example.) How many players will be willing to do this? Few, very few. What if my character followed such a character to the GW world ICly? Then I would have to remake my once viable character here as well. What if an ability now unavailable was pivotal to the development of my character? As a good role player, I should go back and change my character back to the way he/she/it was before that event occurred, and every person who my character I had effected since would have to retcon all activity with my character. What if a character was killed in a permanent manner through RP by someone who has been retconned? Are they suddenly alive once more? You might think that I am using worst case scenarios, though is it truly all that hard to see the fight breaking out over that magical item? One person has the item, and is using it. When another person challenges the ownership of that item (lets say that the character that was retconned stole it from someone, and that person wants it back, since, because that player was never here, the weapon was never stolen,) and demands it's return? What will the decision be? Since few would be willing to give up the item, again, human nature at work, will the previous owner be told that they would have lost it another way, and that the new owner may keep it, or will the current owner be forced to give it up? Which is fair, and who will see it as such? Will everyone be given information as to how to deal with these situations, so that all arbitrators in these situations will handle them in the same way to avoid accusations of favoritism? These are just a few issues that will emerge with such ripples being introduced at this stage of the game. It is very difficult to enforce a new ruling once game play has started, let alone several at once. Though granted, it may be seen as a means to prevent problems that have emerged in the past it will be creating a multitude of problems for the future of the game. Also, of what value is the input of the others actively playing in this world? How important are they? Though this is my lowly opinion, since this place is for the enjoyment of the players, their input should matter a great deal when rulings of this nature come into being. If one person was playing this game, one person could control everything. That simply isn't the case in this instance. We are the ones that play here. We deserve input. (How appropriate that this comes out so close to the 4th of July, no?) This place is a community. We have judges, and we have players. Issues have come into being in which even judges have problems with interpretations, or create classes for the players which are later ruled as 'inappropriate' by Razorhawk. I have found that people are not creating these things to deliberately violate the theme of the site, they are creating things that they feel will fit, and that people will enjoy participating in, for the most part. We have to ask ourselves how much that matters to us as a group, since in some ways, this is a community. It is easy to say, "If you don't like the new rules, you can get the hell out," but that's not going to fix anything. That means that one player has gone away from an experience here unhappy, and will not be coming back. One player, you say? What does one player matter? Look at those ripples. Even if not a retconned player, there will be effects to the game. Isn't it better, when dealing with a community, to learn what the community as a whole wants, and while not necessarily doing what they say (yes, I know that this is NOT a democracy), listening, or taking it into consideration, or at least finding out what is really going on before a sweeping ruling takes place? This is not one person's reality any more. It just isn't. It stopped being such, if it ever was, when the first $player logged in, looked at what the options were, and interpreted them through their own knowledge, perception, and experience. Please think about these things, since they are important to at least that one player, namely, me. Please remember that this is not meant as malicious in any way, it is merely an expression of some serious concerns on my part. I am sorry for the length of that post. I feel it needed to be said. For anyone who agrees, or disagrees, I would love to hear other input or information. Isn't this something we should be talking about?

Dunno if this will get spammy or not. If so...duck. :) First thing that comes to my mind is the issue that I will term as: Purity of Theme. And off we go. When I first arrived here, I was looking for a RPable place with a theme I liked. GW provided these requirements. It's that theme I remember that keeps me going here when I think things have gotten out of hand. I left for a time...only a month or two, really. One would think that isn't a long time. But the theme I remember when I left, and the one I find now are vastly different. Which do I like better? The former. This is just my opinion though. My point? Razorhawk's job here is crucial, beneficial, and essential. And, at least for my tastes, very much wanted. Razorhawk keeps the theme as pure as she can, keeping it within the guidelines set long before I arrived here. I applaud Razorhawk's efforts rigirously. It's a hard and thankless job, I'm sure, and she does it well. Without someone to 'cull the theme', so to speak, we would very rapidly lose any semblence of GW. It would be something else, something foriegn and alien, I like the old time a' GW. Ok, ummm, next point here...Retconning players of unthemely origin. I do not see this so much a punishment, as a guidance. A 12' tall vampire bunny of doom wearing a 'Where the hell is Pokeepsee' T-Shirt would wreck havok on the suspention of disbelief on this MOO. Proper guidance and information to this character can aid them in changing their concept to fit the shared reality we have here, making everyone happy. (We hope) And let's look at things this way...To the truelly creative, most anything is justifiable. Let's take Yara and Rathe for example. Yara and Rathe wanted to play characters of unthemely origin. But, they pulled it off by explaining it in GW world terms. Science and magice are increadible forces, and can change things and situations if used thoughtfully. Let's see...What else...Ah, player response. This one's easy: @qsend *idea *grin* Information...Need it? Want it? Information is power, they say. And to a large degree, we need information to generate our characters. I remember how frustrated I was when I first made Solitude, and had no info as to how SoulMechs worked. How much information do we want? Personally, I want enough to work effectivly, but nor do I want to know everything. I find something very interesting about knowledge I know is out there, but is outside my grasp. As I see things, there are those things on the MOO that we can change, and those we can't. Just as in RL, there are the base rules of physics that are unchangable. Razorhawk sustains GW physics, you could say. That may have been jumbled, cryptic, or pure blarny. But...

What this means, is that until we put the lore skills on our sheet, we technically can't perform magic ICly (or at least very well). This leaves our characters wondering what the hell happened to their power overnight. Also, some people I know who have already changed their .sheets to add the new lore skills have had to "forget" other skills in order to make room. Not all of us have 30 character points lying around. This forgetting of skills would create many many rippled such as Blacklocke described, and also a diminuation of mages' powers and skills (as they reallocate points from their [8] Level 3 elemental magic to get [4] Level 2 Elemental magic Lore, etc. ) I myself have some 8 or 9 CPs free, and I would require 46 points that I don't have to acquire the new lore skills. Having Coreen drop in power mysteriously, and suddenly, one day would (in my mind) be a very stupid thing... As far as one can gleam from game mages and whatnot, mages don't just mysteriously lose power every now and again. I also note that I won't be scrambling to make any changes to my .sheet as these new mage "rules" are really no more than a post to *mages (granted, it was done by Kynwal), but I'd also like to see some evidence of wizardly approval all across the board, as well as from Quinn (I know everyone's really busy, but a change that would affect pretty much every mage already in the game should require SOME sort of large scale ratification... It would also be a nice idea, rather than gm shouting to the MOO or posting to a list with new rules, suggestions, etc. to put these new things in game files or send mail to all the affected parties. Otherwise, it's very difficult to judge what is approved, and what's only a suggestion. All we really ask as players is some notification, and some input into the proposed changes. Not all of us read *rpg, or *chat or *gen, or whatever. Perhaps using *news, with a header **NEW RULE - PLEASE READ** or **PROPOSED NEW RULE - INPUT PLEASE!** would be a more effective way of conveying information.... All I know it that it's very aggrivating trying to play a character and having to suddenly adapt to a massive new rule change. -------------------------- Message 652 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Sun Jul 6 16:14:32 1997 EDT From: Nomar (#17488) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Last Couple of posts My lord, was that not the attack of The Spam Gods of what? -------------------------- Message 653 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Sun Jul 6 17:31:11 1997 EDT From: Jayren (#10514) To: *Chat (#5391) well for those that really want to know, i'm leaving the 20th and returning the 15th. i will be accompanied on my return journey by a canine companion, a dog guide. yes, i am very excited about this. -------------------------- Message 654 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Sun Jul 6 21:32:34 1997 EDT From: Draven (#20327) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Newbie's Response (648) This is - you guessed it - yet another response to Blacklocke's post. I'm pretty new here, as you might have deduced from the subject, so I'm writing this from the perspective of a player trying to develop his character. First off, I'd like to address the documentation here. Specifically the 'game *' documentation. I'm /still/ trying to get a .plan (and eventually a .sheet) worked out, because so many things aren't defined, or are barely defined. For instance, and this is just an example, the Ageless advantages. Ageless II clearly (?) states that your character can not have a combat oriented background. Does this apply for Ageless I too? Did someone just forget to add it? And what exactly constitutes a combat background? Is a mage a combatant? Is a Recomb? Is a Soulmech Pilot? Is a Dragonrider? Hard to say. Another example, I've heard that Bionics can't be Soulmech Pilots. I don't see this anywhere in the file mind you, I've just heard (and never seen one, aside from Chimi) that they can't. Is this a rule? A suggestion? Again, hard to say. Alright, those are just some examples from my experiences, I'm sure there are more, and I'm sure there are answers to those questions - somewhere. Just not written down. Next, I'd like to touch on this whole retcon thing. Retcons are bad, we all (almost all) can agree on that. There's the rare instance where they are necessary, but those are /rare/. Cheating and the like, OOC problems causing IC actions, that type of thing. But not this arbitrary 'I think it's time we change such and such a rule,' thing that I've seen happening here. Retcons ruin and delete perfectly valid RP, and change /entire/ character historys. If one thing changes, then another might change, then another, and eventually, you've got nothing left. Your character might as well have never existed.

Yes indeed, this pleasant, austere villa, nestled in the heart of the war ruin country, has been utterly destroyed. Naturally, this leaves us with many vital questions, such as... We'll never be able to take our children to pet Wendigos. Apparently completely exterminated by the destruction of Austin, these cute, caring and affectionate creatures exist only in our memories (or over our mantlepieces). *sniffle* The apparent utter obliteration of the major corporation headquarters based in Austin presumably has a great many people angered. Perhaps the only Recombs we have to look forward to are more and more mini- critters from Jizo. And where ever shall we continue to get our ever-increasing high-tech equipment? Alack alas. But I did not come here to spam you with such utterly trivial concerns. Indeed, a far more oppressive and horrible condition has resulted from the destruction of Austin: the death of Tuchong. Tuchong...a man of such intelligence and intensity as to make the elders among us seem like mewling babes. His incredible wisdom, deep compassion, and extreme sense of humor, lost for all time. In order to recognize the loss that we have all suffered upon his passing, I propose the immediate re-dedication of the now cruelly-named 'Austin Room' (nw from the R/T round room for you orientationally-challenged) to the 'Tuchong Memorial Lounge and Bingo Parlor'. This new facility would commemorate the tremendous impact that such a man/demi-god had upon all of us, while providing a reprieve from other bars where the barkeeps serve drinks with one hand and press a shotgun to your forehead with the other. Plus, Lawgiver would make a great implement for limbo contests. In this way, even though we are now forever restricted from visiting Tuchong's last resting place (unless you've a dragon) we can still nestle in the bounty of his wisdom, and ponder the wonder that is his Mobile with Dogs. Amen. 'Friends, morons, countrymen, lend me your sneers.

I've been sitting back, observing, and thinking up until now. The simple fact of the matter is, GhostWheel is /not/ a good environment for people that enjoy role playing. 'Why?', you might ask. Well, simply put, any system where sparring is the one and only way to advance is bound to attract a lot of 'hack 'n slashers' and very few true role players. Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I came here in hopes of finding some good RP. If you've answered 'no' to that question, you can stop reading now. This is a wasted post. Still here? Great. That means you're one of the few, the proud, the role players. Let's face it guys 'n gals, the situation is looking bad. We all enjoy role playing, but look around. GhostWheel is tailor made for people that want to spend their days interacting with the combat engine, instead of us. Let's just look at a couple of examples, if you'll indulge me. First, we'll take the case of Sally Jones, who spent 8 years in medschool and 4 years as a doctor before moving out to the 'wheel. Sally Jones goes through chargen, and, unfortunately, can only get her Medic skill up to about 15 or so. ICly, we all know she'd be way, way above there. Sally is a charming girl, always willing to lend a hand. One night, Sally is sitting in the R/T Lounge, as she often does, and someone takes it upon themselves to nearly kill a poor patron of the bar. ICly, Sally would rush to their side, tape them up, and haul them off for some better care. Keep in mind, her Medical skills are set to a 15. Odds are good that Sally will hurt the poor guy more than help him. Think realisticaly, and yes ladies and gents, GhostWheel is supposed to be kinda realistic, would a doctor be able to put some bandages on a guy without hurting him? Of course she would. Obviously, this extends past medics. It works for anything. Warriors, Technicians, anything. This is a baaad thing for us 'RPers', because if we want our characters to have the skills they would have, ICly, we need to spend the time we'd be RPing sparring. Which means we rarely, if ever, get to /play/ the characters we're spending all this time developing. I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of that. Alright, enough complaining. What would I do? Glad you asked. First and foremost, we need to reward good role players. The most widespread way I've seen of doing this is something called a +nom system (Or perhaps, @nom, here). You get a set ammount (say 2) of +noms per week. Durning the week, you run across someone who RPs their character particularly well. Well, you just type '+nom Bob Jones=While we were sitting in the R/T Lounge, Bob related a little bit of his history to me in a particularly interesting manner. I found myself actually waiting - and wanting - to see what he'd say next.'. By doing this, you've spent one of your +noms on Bob. Now you have one left. Repeat the procedure with the next good RPer you come across. Can this system be abused? Hell yes it can. Can that be prevented? To an extent. The wizzen can log all the @noms, (deleting that file every week, to conserve space), and run a simple program of their divising to keep track of people that constantly +nom each other. These people could be talked to, at first, and if it turns out that they're just +nomming each other for no apparent reason, the privlidge could be revoked - from them, at least. What do these +noms do, I suppose would be the next question. Well, these +noms could be used to improve your stats and attributes. Each +nom would equate to a certan number of 'Experience Points', and these points could be used to better your character. The formula, of course, would be up to the wizzen. Another thought would be another mailing list, readable only by admin, to which you could post 'applications' for NPCs. Not so much NPCs, really, as your characters. If they think your application looks good, one of the RP-oriented admins could come and RP with you a bit, then, if they decide you aren't a hiddeous twink, could sit down and look at your background, and work with you to set your characters stats. This would be a lot of work, I know, but I also think it would be worth it. You'd get well thought out backgrounds, a lot more RP (and more things to talk about), and last but not least, more people would be able to play their characters as they really are. Yet another idea is the PEC chamber itself. New characters are /horribly/ underpowered. Perhaps we could raise the number of begining points. This is probably my least favorite solution, though, due to the ammount of PK-obsessed, displaced MUDers that would come in, pump Bladed up to 500 with no character concept, and go kill everyone they could. Alright, that's just been on my mind, I'm sorry if I've upset anyone. If you agree with any of that, however, I'd love to know I'm not alone. A simple follow up post would be great, and would serve to let me - and those in charge - know that this stuff matters to you folks too.

But there is not -always going to be RP around to engage your character in- late-nighters know that Problem with @Nom-idea: People will play favorites And it can get nasty. I more often recommend a certain number of @noms a -month-, and only the top @Nom'd players per week or whatever, get bonuses Much less abuseable, tho the 'group' tendency in RPG(you find a group, RPG with them, and have less interaction with 'outsiders) can mess with this as well Problem with admin-set-stats for character back-RPG: Character backgrounds are nice, but they do not matter -near- as much as how you RP your character once you go IC and interact with others in the game If your character knows Lvl2 Swordfighting, Lvl3 specialized weapon tactics-swordbreakers, and Lvl4 Staff-fighting, well, great. use it for posed combat But if you want coded BACKING for it, you can -spar- and -train-..your character, without much training IC, would atrophy Ghostwheel is, also, a MOO. We have coded combat, the like. As for the sample you put forth: Sally could RP out healing the person, of any seriously damaging/injuring problems. IC healing could be achieved thru eating of crystals, or using the Med bay. Not every medic is trained in on-site-sword-wound-repair-with-a-basic-medkit sorry to say, Draven, but most of those ideas you posted would make the game a -lot- like a MUSH And while MUSH's are fine and dandy, they do not have the same system, programming, or style of play as any MOO I've been on I personally don't play MUSHEs due to command-differences, extremee confusion, and having gotten whined at too much on them, for using strange tactics during combat and RP *smirk* (Refuses to apologize for bieng a evil bastard) I don't say your ideas are shit, or anything like that(*deftly defuses any sentiments of peole reading the post*). It's just my opinion some of them are fairly unworkable, or un-desireable, to general game-play. Having characters gain skills/stats for RP is a good idea, but I would propose a definite limit they could be 'set' to at -chargen-. Maybe average? the 'average' level of skill in the game is a reasonable maxx to ahve characters start out with Considering that it is pretty much a 'basic' level of game-skill Just IMOHO of course, this entire thing is, and who listens to me anyhow?

I've played /pure/ posed combat, and - while most of the time, it's great fun to do - occasionally you run into the 'I shot you!', 'No you didn't!' Cowboys and Indians scenario. Coded is great, coded is fine, I just think good role playing should have a chance at advancing your coded (and uncoded, for that matter) skills as well. S'all I'm saying.

Ok... well, it seems like the mighty debate of interaction with people and the combat engine has reared it's ugly, ever-present, seemingly impossible to resolve head again. A few thoughts come to mind: Keeping in mind that this is still and fantasy setting, and that we are here to for whatever reason leave the ugly mediocrity of IRL behind for just a little while for whatever reason, can we also think of these things? -First, what is more fun for you? RPing with someone, or typing the same command over and over again? -Would you rather see someone fall down and go boom due to a coded process, or would you rather see them role-play their fear of you? -Just because your character has coded power, does your character -have- to be an arrogant, ill-tempered, easily angered violent sort, who uses his coded skills to smash and kill, or is it not also possible to create a revenge plot, or engage in some other manner of 'teaching that annoying person X a lesson' other than through coded means? -Ever notice that 'good' seems to fall easily to the wayside once a character gains enough power to stand on their own? Is this the only way, or can someone stick to their concept without having to leave a trail of bodies in their wake? -What constitutes 'annoying'? Someone who walks into a room? Someone who attacks you without warning? Someone who insults you ICly? Someone who ICly steals from you, or makes you look foolish? Does someone else's 'annoying' action always need to end in their death, or are there other means of 'teaching them a lesson'? Are you, by your actions, being just as annoying to them are they are being to you? Did you possibly instigate that encounter, or provoke someone into being what you classify as annoying? -Do we all have to play people with such quick tempers, really? If the reasoning is just a 'scarred past', wouldn't just as many of us be totally apathetic towards idiots, and ignore them, or beat them down with words? What ever happened to teaching people the right way rather than driving their faces into the dust via the soles of our boots? If we must drive their faces into the dust, doesn't a good pose explain this more vividlt to everyone than a simple coded message that everyone can see when they spar? -Do we care that little for the newer characters, or character that would rather play their character than their stats (I will note that people who grossly overestimate their abilities are severely annoying, and I understand this... ) that their RP should be crunched just because we don't like their concept, be it IC or OOC? -What matters more to you, personally... the fun that everyone has with the game, or the fun that you alone have getting the better of someone? Does any of that really matter, or do you even think about it? Is there even any real IC reason for your actions? -Would you rather interact with players, or code? Just some stuff to think about... and one -big- question, that I know I for one would like to know: What is it you, as a player, really -like- about this place, and what would you do to make it better?

Draven: Well said, most of it I agree with since this MOO has long focused too much on coded and not enough on RP and non coded, IMHO. Dee: Once again, I must applaud you dear. It was very well stated. Kzin: Cut down on the explicatives and domineering 'I am right so fuck you' attitude and I might actually read your posts and respond constructively. Distructive critisism is worthless and a waste of a post. RP vs. Coded: Yes, I have seen high stated players RP, that's fine and good, I applaud their talents and efforts. However, what truly disturbs me is the excuse of 'Well, others KOd and killed me in the past so I had to get my stats up to defend myself'. Does anyone else see the trend going on here? So my question is this, do two wrongs make a right? If you remember getting killed and KOd when you were new here, why do you go about killing and KOing others now that you have higher stats? Did you learn nothing from the past? Do you think that others enjoy it while only you did not enjoy it? RPed Fear: My characters will adequetely fear someone if it comes up that they need to. However, by the way things are going, there are so many out there playing characters that need to be 'feared' that it's really getting ridiculous. I would love to see more variety out there. People playing interesting characters instead of the ho hum, boring, 'I am a high stat'd god, fear me maggots'. People who play Evil characaters do not need to kill and KO in order to be 'EVIL'. In fact, I see few truly good evil characters out there because so many out there have this misconception that running around codedly killing and KOing is evil. No it's not, it's merely annoying. I've seen low stated Evil types scare the shit out of my characters while the ones I know are merely annoying I avoid. Why do I avoid them? Because they are annoying and I don't want to RP with them if I know they will just find a way to pick a fight and KO or kill me. What's the point with that? It wasn't any fun except for the stat freak who somehow got his jollies off of killing my low stat'd character. Well, that's enough for me for now. I'm sure I will spam some more in a bit.

A few things to note here: There are plenty of people who do spar and have high coded stats who do RP, and quite well. This is wonderful, and alot of the people who don't know how to RP very well are indeed trying to get better. Also, there -is- a big problem with anyone who 'ignores' serious uncoded combat wounds, or dodges lightning bolts from Moonie, etc. Think about realism, folks. If you want to go uncoded, this DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU WILL WIN OR NOT GET HURT, it just means you'll get a chance to RP your actions, and not leave them to the combat engine. You can't in good conscience say that with one arm hacked off, you'd sit there smiling, and acting all that tough... and even if your character would do that, -think- for just a minute about the IC consequence of being short an arm... (blood loss, extreme pain, lack of balance, etc.) Think about all of these elements, and MAKE SURE THEY AFFECT YOUR IC UNCODED ACTIONS in a fair manner. It -isn't- easy to portray a character that is ICly afraid, but is trying to pretend that they aren't. I've tried, and I know it. Basically, if you're ICly scared, but trying to act tough, little tells like swallowing hard, wiping a bead of sweat from the forehead... well, they are cliche, but they get the point across. Players are players, plain and simple. Some of them are better at RP than others, are better spellers, have a greater sense of fairness, have higher stats, etc. It's a grab bag. Just because you like to RP rather than spar doesn't mean you'll always whine, or that just because you like to spar you are incapable of RP. In my opinion, a few too many people have assumed the 'easily annoyed' or 'bully' role due to high stats. I see enough of it when I RP, and some of it is almost subtle. It's a personal peeve. (Scroll up, note that I said not -all- people with high stats fit into this category...) I'd like to try and ask these people to remember that the fun they are having being a bully was... oh, just about as much fun as they would have had having the same done to them. Sure, sometimes all parties involved enjoy the RP, but when it happens -so often-, it gets damned annoying after a while. Think of how old the spree of kidnappings got after a while, and how the trends seem to surge and fade here every so often. Then think about this sticky trend again. -Dee. -------------------------- Message 732 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Mon Jul 14 21:51:09 1997 EDT From: Rathe (#14172) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Ahem Who the frack warded the lounge? -------------------------- Message 733 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Mon Jul 14 21:56:33 1997 EDT From: Kzin (#5800) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Eppy Hmm, next time I'm in a bad yet somewhat constructively destructive mood, I'll go post to *flame.

When Dexter was around, I mapped a good portion of the Wastes and just found a load of rooms that nobody went to. Nothing that was used for RP. I feel that if GhostWheel were a story, it would seem the majority of the world is being ignored. The person writing the story started out with a scarred post apocalyptic earth and decided 1/4 of the way through that they din't like it. So they went for the pockets of greenery which seem to be only 5% of the earth. Making the story into something entirely different. Apocalypse? Feh, we'll just live in the valley. Or on Jizo's pocket of paradise. The rest of the world really doesn't matter because we're happy. Good. But why ignore such things as the stuff in the wastelands. Where are the Ixitar?

There are green and lucious places like Jizo (almost entirel transplanted, gengineered, or both) or Drach'nal; however, these places represent only a small portion of the conceptualized world that Ghostwheel inhabits. However, they represent the most important. It is the green, luch areas of a postapocalyptic world that are the most important to its peoples. It is these areas that have the ecological resources to support the largest communities. The communities that have power to reach outside themselves and have impact on the actual world. It is surprising that thre are significant areas on the moo that are wasteland. But they are there, the wastes bieng most noticeable. And there are the ruined cities...Quarrelsville, the megaroom in Dixie, New Genesis City. But GW does not rely on these areas to build up its conception of the future. One of GW's strengths has always been its inherant diversity. Its vision of the future is complex and innovative and a thousand times more realistic than if it tightened its focus on a handfull of tired, old cliches. "Could the mages have healed the world so quickly? Maybe, maybe not. Could the Earth have done so itself? Maybe...the Earth does have incredible recuperative abilities when its most aggressive race isn't constantly upsetting its balance. And the vast bulk of human life can be assumed to have perished in the apocalypse. Smaller ppopulation groups have less environmental impact. The main question is, just how much reality (in the faint and limited ways that we define the term) can we expect from a game world set 300 years in the future where magic exists? Once we define the premise, the world defines itself -------------------------- Message 751 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Thu Jul 17 03:59:28 1997 EDT From: Nigel (#7159) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: typo that was 300, not 300...*sigh* -------------------------- Message 752 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Thu Jul 17 03:59:57 1997 EDT From: Nigel (#7159) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: 3000...*double sigh* -------------------------- Message 753 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Thu Jul 17 14:20:31 1997 EDT From: Kynwal (#1610) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Boycott Everyone boycott the R/T Lounge, that IC/OOc warded scourge of GW.

From Book lover to book lover..... :) Subject: A few rhetorical objects for your consideration A few winners from that annual contest forworst opening sentence in an unpublished novels. The Bulwer-Lytton fiction contest is held ever year at San Jose State University by Professor Scott Rice. It is held in memory of Edward George Earle Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873), a rather prolific and popular (in his time) novelist. He is best known today for having written "The Last Days of Pompeii." The contest is to write the worst opening line to a novel that hasn't yet been published. Literally tens of thousands of entries are submitted and judged in various categories, including worst western novel opening, worst science fiction entry, worst romance novel, and worst overall. These have been collected by Professor Rice and published by Penguin books as "It was a Dark and Stormy Night," "Son of 'It was a Dark and Stormy Night'," and "Bride of Dark and Stormy." These are unrelentingly funny books, and I recommend them to you whole-heartedly. 1985 Winner: "The countdown had stalled at 'T' minus 69 seconds when Desiree, the first female ape to go up in space, winked at me slyly and pouted her thick, rubbery lips unmistakably---the first of many such advances during what would prove to be the longest, and most memorable, space voyage of my career." 1984 Winner: "The lovely woman-child Kaa was mercilessly chained to the cruel post of the warrior-chief Beast, with his barbarian tribe now stacking wood at her nubile feet, when the strong clear voice of the poetic and heroic Handsomas roared, 'Flick your Bic, crisp that chick, and you'll feel my steel through your last meal!'" Here are some other award winners: "'Cha-cha-cha!' I whispered merrily in Mary Ellen's ear, as I escorted her stiff and lifeless body around the dance floor, proud of the envy I aroused in the fellows who had always dreamed of being this close to the once vibrant cheerleader, but more than a little ashamed of the means I had to use to get this date." "In today's lesson, boys and girls, (from our super-secret book of things we don't always tell our mommies and daddies), we are going to learn about all the wonderful fun things you can make with a combination of feather dusters, English peas, and your next-door neighbor's kitty cat." "Reginald was a little surprised at Lady Gwendolyn's exuberance on their wedding night, but not nearly as surprised as he was when he discovered that the two white bands he had mistaken for sexy stocking-garters encircling Lady Gwendolyn's delicate thighs were, in fact, a pair of Hertz Flea and Tick Collars." -------------------------- Message 759 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Thu Jul 17 20:09:35 1997 EDT From: Alluvia (#12737) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: I had to... this is sooooo bad Two strangers, a man and a woman, are sitting next to each other on a trans-Atlantic flight.

I have been working a lot IRL and haven't been able to log in as much lately and suddenly I am very glad that I am not. I have just learned that several PCs and even GMs (which truly shocked me) decided to take it upon themselves to annoy anyone attempting to RP in the warded lounge. May I ask what age you were thinking in at the time? Where you two or four? Obviously you seem to assume that this MOO should revolve around you, which in the psychological stages of growth occurs within that age range. I have always loved this MOO, been with it through ups and downs, good times and bad. I've taken sabbaticals when it's gotten rough so I could come back refreshed, but I never thought I would leave. Well... I'm beginning to rethink that. When it comes to the point where one group of people decide they are 100% right and fuck everyone else, well, I don't want to have any part of that. I'm not saying I'm going to leave yet, but if this doesn't get resolved in the best interest of EVERYONE (that means compromise, which of course means you don't get to have your way completely, you have to give and take), I will do just that. As for those who were involved... what can I say, you truly disappoint me. I know who you are, and most of you I considered dear, trusted friends. I have suddenly lost massive amounts of respect for you. This saddens me a great deal.

It has come to this that this moo is no longer facing a small minute problem of few in number acting in ways unfitting to most. The problem has grown. It has come to this, that to RP, you are now scarce in number compared to those that choose to spend their time always OOC, or sparring, or rolling dice or other various means of entertainment. It has come to this, that people send in their wishes to be @toaded, their wishes for loss of bit, loss of alt, loss of RP. We are loosing our greatest players while most sit idly by and commit the same acts that drive them away. It has come to this. It has come to the point where the messages posted are no longer to *storylines explaining the life of the character, but rather to *Flame explaining the hate of each of us towards one another. It has come to the point where it is NO longer fun, no longer enjoyable and no longer ignorable. It has come to this point. Since we know no way to rectify this, since ther eis no present and clear way, I propose segregation of those who take the MOO in one way, and those who choose to take it in another. I propose to seperate those who wish the glory of the coded race, compared to those who revel in the sport of the plot. We have become different colors here. Therefore, I propose that we seperate ourselves as they did in the United States early on. For once perhaps it is needed. We create ways that the RPers may RP and the sparrers may spar, without conflict, without issue, without fear of great souls leaving. Few options remain in the situation we have pressed ourselves into. I propose we make a change.

Disclaimer: This post is NOT intended to offend anyone nor is any part of it made in jest or with a sarcastic tone. It is only food for thought for those of us who seem to be of the mind that combat is more important then non coded RP. I hope it opens a few minds, though I know that it being me posting it runs the risk of closing them further. Oh well, I'll take the risk. Imagine this: You are a die hard coded combat fan. You love hunting, collecting crystals, watching your stats go up. You enjoy seeing people who used to torment you suddenly unable to even make you dodge. You love to spar, and have had many fun encounters with others like minded who spar with you. Then all of a sudden, Quinn and Razorhawk decide to remove the combat engine, effectively making the MOO non-coded RP only. How would you feel? Would you protest? Damn straight you would, and with good reason. This MOO is a combination of combat, RP, and social, no single aspect taking presidence over the others. You should have every right to voice your opinions and demand that it be restored, especially after all the hard work you put into your stats and the fun you have with others sparring and hunting now lost. But then, the hardcore RPers respond not only negatively, but snidely and rudely, telling you to quit whining and deal with it, leave the MOO, or get off your ass and learn to RP. Of course that would be offensive to you and rightly so. They have no business acting in such a juvenile manner. Then to add insult to injury, when you attempt to interact, they snub you or flaunt their superior non coded skills which you don't have because you spent more time sparring then worrying about your .sheet. Feeling utterly helpless, you band with your old sparring pals who are also upset with the change and attempt to bring back the old ways or you end up leaving GW. This either leads to more fighting or to the loss of a good player with an interesting character. Neither of which is a rather good outcome. On top of that, it splits friendships in half, some feeling forced to choose sides while other are outright pushed into it. Before you know it, no one is having any fun at all and everyone is logging in to find fifty posts to *flames griping and tossing insults across the battle lines. Then the archwiz is forced to step in and take drastic measures. Does any of this strike home and sound familiar? I hope so, cause this is basically a reversed version of where I see GW going. I know I'm not innocent of any of this and I'm attempting to take the first step towards mending the bridges by posting this. I hope it somehow makes a difference.

A good detective, though careful examination of all the evedince, is like a Mounty, he always gets his man...I may or may not be a realy good detective but have thusfar never failed to get my 'man'.

(About disarming two handed weapons) Generally I'd think that it's possible to sweep it from both hands at once, since they are both holding it and if you're caught off guard enough to be disarmed, one wouldn't be able to hold on after a sweeping motion that rips it from him/her.

I would like to be able to consider this message to be the final note on the matter, from me, concerning a regrettable event that occured three day's ago.(In case you missed it, and in case you care, see *flame 18 or *chat 804.) Since my message was sent (I am unaware as to how much of thous listening already know) I was presented with a page from NOMAR stating roughly the following: 1 He does not know the culpret. 2 The weapon came into his possesion in an entirly IC manner ( He found it.) 3 despite that he found the weapon in an entierly IC manner, he welcomed me to @move it back to me. On the one hand, I find It increadably unlikely that a this thief would enter my tent, kill my disconnected character, steal all of my items and then @eject the items of little value only to leave the sword lieing around in an openly IC location to leave some possable clue as to who he or she might be. (stipulate a clever thief might, upon finding the item not what he/she expected, leave it where it would be assured to be picked up, thereby creating a red heiring.) However I also believe that confronted and give a chance, most people whould be inclined to admit mistake rather then lie to defend any claim to one measly sword. So given that I am not resolute as to the teruth surounding this matter I can only reitterate and rephrase my orignal statement: I will not resort to @moving the object. NOMAR, if you feel that you have a justified claim to the weapon, please keep it, it is a neet weapon, and I hope it surves you as well as it surved Yokuni. If you do not wish to carry the weapon any longer, return it to the R/T lost and found, where I will promptly destroy it. (It would be a shame to destroy such a weapon, but oh well.) One way or the other, I will consider this messy matter compleatly closed. It's not that I don't feel a need for some sort of true closure to the matter, (justice, vengance, an apology, an explanation) I simply realise that circomstances as thay are, I wont ever realy get one, so I consider the matter closed as its going to get. -------------------------- Message 839 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Tue Jul 29 00:36:52 1997 EDT From: Skywalker (#6644) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Leaving Tomorrow, I start my vacation.
