Bleah. As you may have noticed, we're trying to get more information on each department and I'm trying to make it easy on the department heads and/or their chosen volunteer by rotating the columns each week, so PR will be up next week and we'll start over again with Coding the next week. You might also recall that immortal apps were due at the beginning of the month (they'll be due again on March 1st) and we've just wrapped up the voting phase, but aren't quite at the point where we're ready to publicly announce the results yet. We'd like to let the applicants know first. But we hope to have the news become public knowledge within the next week or two. Yes, sometimes it really does that that long to catch up with everyone and organize when we're going to do the immorting ceremony. The biggest news is that Kae's Dante's Inferno area is scheduled to be installed into the running mud next Saturday! I know everyone's been looking forward to new nooks and crannies to explore and fresh mobs to die to... err... I mean fodder to kill. Don't expect a remake of the old Hell, this is an entirely new spin on the area! The events calendar is looking full again with The Autumn Casino on Tuesday night and October just around the corner and the Classic Games Series about to kick off. Looks to be lots of fun and prizes! Have a great week, -Kaige ___ ___ \ |-------------------------------------------------------------| / /__| LegendMUD Calendar of Events |__\ '-------------------------------------------------------------' [All times are system time unless otherwise specified] SEPTEMBER OCTOBER Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 1 2 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 26 27 28 29 30 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Tuesday, September 28th, 8:00 pm Autumn Casino Wednesday, September 29th, 2pm-10pm PK BattleZone (HELP BATTLEZONE for more info) Thursday, September 30th, 7:30 pm Q&A in the OOC Auditorium Saturday, October 2nd Dante's Inferno Install Tuesday, October 5th 8:00 pm Classic Games Series: Recalltag!

In a hard-fought contest between the top finishers in this summer's Trivia Challenge competition, Nephiel rose above the rest to seize the crown. The battle of wits was held in a soundproof booth system dubbed 'The Eye', which allowed each competitor to give their answers in isolation from the others. The questions were drawn from all the categories which competitors had avoided all summer long -- only the hardest and the most obscure topics were available to these fearless finalists! With 6 of 10 correct, Nephiel took the top spot. However, the contest wasn't over! Chauvelin and Occam tied for second place with five questions each, and Chauvelin seized the second slot in double overtime! Rounding out the finishes were Somar, Siachet, and Autumn with 4 questions each, Nevyn with 3, and Skadi with 1. Here are the 10 questions which comprised the final showdown -- check your knowledge against the participants and see the answers at the bottom of the LT! 1. Who wrote 'Lolita' and 'Pale Fire'? 2. Who wrote the operas 'Love for Three Oranges' 'War and Peace', and 'Peter and the Wolf'? 3. What Greek practice involved citizens gathering and each inscribing a name on small fragment of pottery? 4. What was the name of the prison beneath the Underworld, where Ixion, Tantalus, and Sisyphus suffered? 5. Who took the title of 'Lord Protector' of England in 1653? 6. Who was Julius Caesar's chief lieutenant, who helped Octavian hunt down his assassins? 7. Whose dancing won her the prize of John the Baptist's head on a platter, at the urging of her mother, Herod's wife Herodias? 8. What Muslim shrine was build on the location where Abraham showed willingness to sacrifice Isaac and where Mohammed ascended to heaven? 9. What Japanese emperor declared his divinity a myth, ending the deification of Japanese emperors? 10. From what goddess were Japanese emperors previously believed to be descended? ___ ___ \ |-------------------------------------------------------------| / /__| Recent Updates |__\ '-------------------------------------------------------------' /\ CODE UPDATES / \ / \ GENERAL CHANGES /_ _\ o Alertness on a victim of a backstab will now have a | | random duration. | | o Attributes and examine are now 'NO_LAG' commands. | | |__| TYPO FIXES /\ o Social fixes: beckon, bkiss. / \ o Mood fixes: confused. / \ /_ _\ | | HELPFILE UPDATES | | | | There were no helpfiles updated this past week. |__| /\ / \ AREA UPDATES / \ /_ _\ If you want to suggest specific improvements or new | | additions to existing areas please don't hesitate to | | submit them with the idea/bug/typo commands or drop | | mudmail to the builder currently responsible for the area |__| (check AREAINFO to find out!). /\ / \ Thanks to everyone that submitted bug/typo/idea reports! / \ /_ _\ Paul in the Wild Boar Tavern (OOC) will be offering | | INSPIRE reimbs for non-Limans.

I take quite some / \/\( | pride in stating that LegendMUD has one of the | / |` ) | best help file systems on MUDs out there, the / \ _/ | result of years and years of working and /--._/ \ | updating by pr and admin people both. `/|) | / / | | Here's a tidbit from the punitive side of our .' | | job that has been requested every once in a / \ | blue moon by various players: How many warnings (_.-.__.__./ / are given out, and what for? Well, here it is. 5 severe warnings, 17 medium warnings, and 88 minor warnings were issued, with a total of 110 warnings in 2004 to date. Well over 50% of these were for language violations (swearing, sexually explicit language, racism, slander, etc. on public channels). Of the remainder, half of these were for in-game information. So what is in-game information? HELP RULES has the following to say: 10. In-game information (such as mob or item stats, quest solutions, etc.) may not be placed on public channels or boards (including clan boards, and clan channels). This information is also not allowed in illusions. (See HELP CHEAT, HELP CHANNELS). So what exactly is hard to understand about that? The problem usually isn't that people don't realize that something is in-game information if they think about it for a millisecond. The problem, if so it can be called, is that people generally want to be helpful to others so that others are helpful to them. They see somebody request something on a channel and respond with the answer without pausing to think about whether the information would be better sent in a tell. Well, right away it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense that you can't give the information that someone wants on a channel but you're perfectly allowed to tell them anything you want in a tell. The information they obtain is the same -- so what's the big deal? The big deal is other players who may not want to receive the information you're offering. Some players like to get a quick answer to a question such as 層ho teaches armslore?' -- others only want to know which area to look for the teacher in, and others yet don't want to know anything at all, preferring to search for him or her on their own. We have to respect and protect the rights of all three kinds of players -- and the only way we can do that is by enforcing that answers get given directly to the people posing the questions. That means, in tells, not on public channels. May your journeys be safe and your mouth safely shut where appropriate. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _____ / _ \ DID YOU KNOW: Tips and tricks and little-used features /__/ \ \ / / Did you know... there are at least three ways to tell / / what type of material a given piece of ARMOR is made? /__/ __ If the object is for sale at a shopkeeper, you can / \ PREVIEW the ARMOR.

They're very serious about this and would like anyone who lives in Cali or would like to come to send either one of them a note. Its iffy right now but they're working on it very hard. So, let them know if you are in CA and interested or even if your just interested and don't live in CA. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The following letter was found tucked under our doormat with a single red rose shortly after last week's issue was delivered: To the Editor: For many years now I have been a faithful and restrained subscriber of this magazine. With extraordinary patience I have often put up with a lot of less interesting articles, especially during the silly season. This time, however, I believe you have allowed yourself too many words of drivel. Last issue's piece about the progress in the building department was quite detailed and - I am quite sure - a so-called 'scroller'. For the benefit of your splendid magazine and the best of the rest of the subscribers, I, therefore, humbly offer to entertain Kae (and if necessary other long-legged blonde members of the building department) with various types of physical exercise next time (and possibly every time thereafter) a deadline looms ahead. Sir Robar Royce. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= After sitting on the "in" stack on the desk for a bit, one morning the letter suddenly appeared to have been crumpled, chewed, clawed and otherwise mangled and replaced in the box. The reverse side of the paper had the following scribbled on it: Dook ChewMunch, Dooky dookdook dodok gndook gngn dookie gngr Grrrdook yip rawrstrut gnyipe dookieyip gngroo gn rawrbounce gnip. Yipgook gndoo gukdook gnrr yuppiedook rarrr yipnuzzlepet yukduk gnflop, dookdookity gnrg dookiedookie yum duk yumyum. Dookidook, Rawr gn Rawrhissgrr. One look at that scribbling and we knew a ferret had been batting this letter around the room, so we immediately flipped open our Ferret->English dictionary and got to work translating it. It read: Dear Robar, It's been entirely too long since any Knights blessed me with their presence in my backyard. When you come to entertain my mom before deadline, please slather your shin with ketchup. Yours, Fridolin the ferret. So if you happen to see a charming and flirtatious Knight walking around with some red goop smeared on his shins, you can bet it's Sir Robar Royce on his way to our offices! The question is, how far behind will his wife be? ___ ___ \ |--------------------------------------------------------| / /__| Clan News |__\ '--------------------------------------------------------' There are currently 20 RP clans and 3 PK clans.

I readied my things in a short time and set off into the dark cave near the mountain by the small shack i had been staying in, in search of my infinite treasures. I walked for what seemed like an eternity into the cave with only my bright orange torch lighting up the darkened cave. I had stumbled upon a small opening in the side of the cave. I quickly drew out my pick and hacked away at the wall. As I stepped into the new found room it was a large hallow room with a single hole in the middle with what looked like an endless staircase. As I thought of all the glory I would find in the bottom of the cavern I walked slowly down the steps. Every step I took echoed on the walls of the cavern. After about an hour or so plunging into the darkness on the stairway i saw a small glimmer of gold. I was so excited, I began to run down the stairs at the thought of what was down there. I quickly got down the stairway, as I got to the bottom I saw a small golden lamp; it was exactly what I had come to get. As I stared into the Golden luster of the lamp, my chest began to tighten. I slowly ran my darkened rag across the shiny surface of the the lamp. A dark green smoke began to rise from the lamp, as the Genie rose from the lamp I screamed with wonder and excitement. The Genie informed me that I had 3 wishes and I could use them in any way I wanted. I thought for about 10 minutes while the Genie stared at me. To tell you the truth I was fairly afraid of his piercing green eyes. I shouted out my first wish, It was to be able to create anything that I wish whenver I felt like it. The Genie snorted and loudly said, 'Is that your first wish, boy?' I replied with a quick nod. He quickly drew up his fist and brought it down upon my head. When I awoke the Genie Informed me that my wish had been granted. I began to smile and held up my hand and thought of gold and shaped it to form around my hand. When I opened my eyes my hand was covered in a solid gold armlet. I grinned and stood up on my feet. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dino's AutoBiography - Chapter Five 'They're coming, Dino,' the man said to me, almost whispering. I looked at him and took my usual 'who are you and how do you know my name' position. He was leaning against one of the walls with his head down. Not too old, black hair, I couldn't tell the color of his eyes because his head was down. I could tell by his clothing that he was not a resident of the houses on this street. Or maybe he was. He was wearing a black leather jacket and black pants. Looked very much like black jeans. A pair of cowboy like boots were worn on his feet and a gnawed on toothpick stuck out of his mouth. Maybe the town's gangster. I doubted that this little town would have gangsters though. 'The guards, their going to take you back.' He said quietly, chewing on the toothpick. 'Who are you first of all?' I peered at him, looking him up and down and waited for an answer. 'They can't take me back now that I am out.' 'Oh yes they can, little Dino.' Just the two words 'little' and 'Dino' irritated me. 'Your father had no right to take you out of there.' He planned on continuing to talk but before he did, he removed the toothpick from his mouth, tossed it on the ground with a dozen more toothpicks, pulled a new, not chewed one out of his pocket and placed it in his mouth. Carefully, he bit on the toothpick probably checking if it's a good toothpick or not and left it in his mouth, chewing slowly. 'Your father, Jaenrik, paid a lot of money to get you out of there and bring you home as his little girl.' He paused, looked up, looked around, looked down, and went on. 'But what you don't know is that your dad fell into some great debts trying to get that money leaving a lot of people looking for him.' I actually couldn't believe that my father actually went into debts to get me back. 'How much debt exactly?' I questioned. Not that I could help him get the money but I could at least know it. But a few minutes passed after I asked that question and the man rudely ignored me, still chewing. 'And what might your name be?' I questioned again and yet again, I was ignored. I turned my head to see the position of the sun since I didn't have a watch; it was around three in the afternoon. As soon as I turned my head back to him, he was gone! I looked around for him and he wasn't there, just many of his bitten toothpicks. Nothing. I shrugged to myself and went along my way. Around five in the evening, I was home. My mother and father were napping on the couch like all parents do around this time, then they get up, cook and serve dinner, and go back to sleep for the night. I tiptoed around the couch and into the kitchen. I looked around for some lunch maybe on the table or counters since I was busy in town and couldn't make it. Unfortunately, none of the lunch was left for me. I peeked into the cupboards for a snack but there wasn't any. 'Oh well,' I thought to myself and went into the living room to find my parents up and ready to get to dinner. They looked as though they were never even asleep. They both walked into the kitchen to start cooking and I decided to go outside and wait for it to be done. Even from the outside, you could smell the chicken roasting and hear the plates clanking together. I wondered about that man on the street. How would he know about me getting out and how would he know about my father's debts? I guessed that I would have to find out on my own. -End of Chapter Five- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A Word from Our Sponsor Wilderness Walk: Elezvoi's Bath House by Jack Paris After a long day of travelling, I longed for a nice hot bath. The dust and grime that covered my skin was too much to bear, and my clothes reeked of the ocean and sweat. The fort I had stopped to rest at was rather rustic, to put it nicely. The beds in the common sleeping room were lumpy and covered with thin blankets - not to mention filled with fleas, ticks, and other permanent residents. While the food in the kitchen was meagre, it was hearty and satisfying. While I was sipping hot tea, I gloomily thought about how long journey would be back to more civilized accomodations, where I could lounge in a steamy tub. To my surprise and delight, I found the fort actually had a bath house! I wouldn't have to wait weeks afterall. The bath house attendant, Elezvoi, was very accomodating and pleasant. While he did not have some of the amenities I would have liked, he had the necessities - soap, towels, and shaving utensils. And he was more than willing to add any number of herbs to my bath water to enhance my bathing experience. Since the men of the fort are restricted to a single bath daily due to the primitive setup, he let me soak for as long as I liked. I daresay it was the best bath I have ever had. If you find yourself in the vicinity of the Russian fort in Alaska, I would recommend taking some time out for a relaxing bath at Elezvoi's bath house. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Trivia Answers 1.
