Area Updates
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
This week we've got little fixes all over the place -- lots of
different
contributors on the commit board this time, which is always great to
see!
French & Indian War: longhouse repop is back to its old speed
Crusades: The captain of the guard had another risk/reward tweak. A
certain chasm is now mysteriously lit (no change in how it works,
though).
London: Risk/reward tweak to Big Jim
Silk Road: Merchants will now eat their inventory at death. A few
horses
added.
Spell-supporting areafiles: Imps no longer talk about chalices, and can
be
dismissed. They no longer respond to 'leave' though.
The following areas had small updates and typo fixes done:
1802 Alaska, Carnival, Dante's Inferno, Carthage, Crusades, Dartmoor,
Generics, Seoni Jungle, Nazca, Silk Road, South Seas, Viceroyal Lima
The following in-progress areas had commits this week:
Industrial Hawaii, the Pyramid
Code Updates
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
PKILL
o A charmy landing a killing blow should count toward the pkill counter
of the charmed critter's master.
GROUPS
o A leader executing makeleader now follows new leader *if* old leader
is not following anyone else (is "following self"). If old leader
is
following someone, they continue to do so.
Previously, makeleader made all group members who are following
someone follow the new leader. Now we only change those who are
following the old leader. Anyone following someone else will not
follow new leader.
ERA ABILITIES
o Added a 'timers' command that shows you your outstanding timers. This
will also appear as part of the 'status' display.
o Vicious backstab now adds 100 damage to a backstab instead of
doubling
the damage a backstab would have done.
o Vicious backstab should go off every time. Before it was causing an
auto-hit, but if the original swing would have missed, it wouldn't
have added the extra damage.
o Vicious backstab will now echo to others in the room.
o Fast Poultice is no longer a fast command and will queue up properly.
SKILLS
o More attempts to synchronize the backstab timers between the attacker
and the attackee -- please be aware that there's some abmiguity in
the duration on the attacker, so you may still get a 'no longer
alert'
message before the target can be backstabbed again
o Backstabbing a stunned person will no longer increase the backstab
timer on the attacker unless it's the first backstab and there is
no timer present
MISC FIXES
o You can no longer quaff flaming vials
o You can no longer throw cursed objects
o Additional crash bugs fixed
o Statement and Inquiry are now fast commands
o PK damage position adjusted in the new score display
o The way secondary attack items are handled has been changed in a
number
of fundamental ways. This should have *no* effect on how they
behave,
however, so if there is any strangeness, please report it.

Vote For LegendMUD!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I know sometimes you might find yourself thinking, 'It'd be cool if
I had more people to pk with,' or 'If only there were more rpers
around.'
Well, you CAN help more new players find Legend!
Most mudders looking for a new mud use the mud ranking websites as
their
guide: Mud Connector, TopMudSites &c. Naturally, the highest-ranked
muds
get the most people checking them out to see what all the fuss is
about.
That's where you come in!
Many of you visit the forum page at http://forum.legendmud.org at
least once a day. Right up at the top there's a VOTE! link you can
click
on, and that submits your vote to Mud Connector and increases our
rankings! Even better, there's a gold "vote" button front and center
that
takes you to similar links for other mud ranking sites.
Voting is REALLY easy; most of them involve only a click or two. So
vote
every day! You'll get more players checking us out, which means more
rpers, more pkers, more everybody.

An upcoming event sponsored by The Seven Circles:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Money? Power? Fame? The Seven Circles is hosting a lottery that starts
today (well, the date of publication for those that don't check their
inboxes daily). Tickets, which can be bought from any Circles member,
cost
100 dollars each. On the 22nd of April, the winner will be drawn, at
that
time receiving a wallet filled with the collections.
Nadia comes to a Realization
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I recently left my husband. Not the brightest thing I've done. Then
again,
what was the last intelligent action of mine? All I've ever been good
at
is making mistakes. I'm just imperfect, weak.... fallible! I can do no
right. My main mistake...downfall...whatever? I love love too much. I
have
come to realize I'll do anything to gain the affection of another.
Yet after this realization, I refuse to change my ways. I still flirt
with
men, I continue to smirk. I flash them a grin and flutter my lashes,
and
they're entranced with my eyes. At least that's what I'm told, and I
use
this to my advantage, while paying attention to only a select few.
I'll admit that I'm lustful, and that I belong in the Second Circle of
Hell. I'm not wondering what's next anymore, because I know exactly
what's
going to happen. After months, I'm finally able to call the Seven
Circles
home, even with my fallibility. And I just hope Hell is ready for me,
because I'm finally ready for it.
I am Mistress Nadia Lynn Marie, a fallible romantic.
And when you glance at me within a room, you shall see:
A chocolate-eyed flirt stands here, a lustful grin playing on her lips.
