Formerly a Knight of Legend, this new immortal is well-known to most of you as a wisecracking fellow with a quick sword. He's also typing pretty fast, and progress on his area is some of the fastest building in recent memory. Look for the Viking area to be attached north and east of Medieval Britain in the next few months. Ptah and Kaige have been promoted to Imp and will be handling most of the day to day stuff. This leaves the rank of God vacant for now. In the wake of this change, most of their area projects have gone on hold as they try to get in a few major changes such as player-defined short descriptions, a wider range of skill sets, and better consistency in mobs and items mudwide. Sadist going on a sort of leave of absence as he is going to concentrate for awhile on developing other software. He'll still be around, but expect no fundamental code changes while this is so. In the meantime Ptah and Ganelon will be handling the small code changes. Charity is going to try to devote more of her time to her studies in graduate school, but is still going to be around. She'll be supervising Arkenstone in his building as the Vikings are a special interest of hers. Fionn is back from ireland, but may not be on the mud too much for a while as he is in the middle of a job search. let's all wish him luck... FOR PROSPECTIVE IMMORTALS The building-only rule for immorts is being removed. People who desire to be immortals may propose alternate jobs in lieu of building. Such jobs could include statistical surveys, area updating, etc. Note that there is only so much of this sort of stuff TO do, and that therefore most immorts will still be primarily builders. The level 50 requirement remains in effect. Please disregard the email address given in HELP IMMORT to send proposals to. For now they can be sent to the address of the LT, [email protected]. Please note that advancement for those who follow this route will be less certain than for those who follow the traditional building route, as it'll be harder to judge what is an appropriate contribution. SITE NEWS Word on a site is that we'll have word fairly soon. We have at least one positive site and one strong possible, but both involve a time delay while they are set up. Which we go with is sort of up in the air at this point. Special thanks to Ganelon and Obmig who are working on these sites. ________________________ / \ o O | Wonder what folks are | `\|||/ | doing over at LegendMud? | (o o) \________________________/ ooO_(_)_Ooo_____________________________________________________________ _____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____| __|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|___ _____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____| \|/ \|/ \\||// \!/ ...Been sort of quiet on the social front lately... Dusty is still in mourning for Sanquela, the great flipper debate seems to have died down, no clans are engaged in warfare (yet), and life seems to be proceeding apace. There is some news that may liven things up however... ...Seems Magda was in dire straits, and then Obmig came to rescue her. Magda repaid him by fleeing and closing the door to the room, whereupon he was killed, unable to run away. Wasn't too much longer before Magda herself perished in odd circumstances while Obmig was "guarding" her. Trouble among the Hermetic Order?... ..and even if there isn't, ain't it fun to maybe provoke some?... ...The Assassin clan is ready for business! A kill-off to determine the Chief Assassin will be held as soon as we have enough applicants for the position. The Chief Assassin will be the formal arbiter for all contracts and will get to choose the clan token, official name, and password. The clan hall is in for all who care to see it. Note that the tenure of a Chief Assassin lasts until his successor kills him... ..that's about all for now, other than the rather social news given in the regular news section above. One nice result of the roleplaying article is that now we have a fresh crop of players interested in developing their characters. So I'd like to call attention to a few newly interesting people to see around... ...there's Mitra, the Goddess worshipper from ancient Persia who seems to have a low regard or at least a deep suspicion towards men... ...Tuco the merchant, who likes saying "bastard" a lot and has a quite colorful turn of phrase even when he's not using that word... ...an irish nature-lover by the name of Bobbin who was overheard asking what an elephant was the other day... seems he'd never seen one on the Emerald Isle... ...and Maele, whose childhood in Britain as the son of an erudite man led to a great desire to see the world and seek adventure... ..let's all give a hand to these players for building their characters up and for making Legend a livelier place to live. -Ptah =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Legendary Times is put out by the gods of LegendMUD.
