In the popular words of the Beatles, can we get "Back to the USSR"?

Regarding spell stutter--can this also be applied to casting pets, or would that change also affect mobs and keep them from stuttering as well?

I agree with Corth that this isn't really all that great of a precedent considering how the ruling seems to be rather narrow--duh, if I get paid in coins with a face value of $1.00 or $0.01 then I'm not going to pay much payroll tax. However, that would have made me wonder what sorts of minimum wage...

I'd be happy with a system of damage adjectives that didn't simply depend on how much of a mob's current hp you're taking away. It's silly how everyone's barely grazing a mob at first no matter what, and inflicting grievous wounds toward the end even if they're wielding pixie sticks. Being addresse...

In short, this failed prosecution has coalesced and exposed truths our Government desperately needs to hide from the People: the truth about our money, the truth about our (privately-owned) central bank, and the truth about the fraudulent nature of the operation and enforcement of the federal incom...

I can't blame them for avoiding some of the obviously shady invites ... why would a republican candidate go to an all black or all immigrant debate/forum when they know its just an attempt to blast them and they won't get any votes from it anyway. However it seems pretty dumb to skip out on an RNC ...

Birile

So what's with the epidemic no-shows from the GOP candidates? Last night most of them skipped town on a rather big RNC fundraiser where they were scheduled, and many more times they've cited "scheduling conflicts" when they cancel appearances or decline invites--whether it be for forums/de...

45% of British dentists will refuse to treat patients under the socialized system! Apparently the government is not paying dentists enough so they left the system. Damned free market! We should force them to treat patients for not enough money! Socialism. I support this message from our resident Li...

Also, Rylan, while they don't have the immigration "problem" we do, the aboriginies, from what I understand from talking to a few natives, are a huge drain on society just like republicans claim the mexicans are here. I don't think you'll find a house full of 20 aboriginies running a meth...

Or the fact that that the EU has a collective army so they don't have to spend as much as us on defense. They don't spend as much on defense on we do because they depend on us for a ride. They depend on us for air support. They depend on us for nuclear deterrance. They depend upon our military stre...

Socialism is a mindset and a way of life. Its flaw is that everyone has to believe in its tenets and agree to live that lifestyle.

Very good point, Botef... Just some brainstorming on that concern: What about allowing a person who dies sub-25 loading in their guild with all of their gear? This way, yes, they may lose their pcorpse if they can't find their way to it (and they've lost the exp, too, so there's still a penalty for ...

Hillary by far. When she ran for the NY Senate seat I was extremely impressed with how much time and effort she actually put into her run. She went to every corner of NY and talked to people, trying to get to know the area and its concerns, recognizing that the state is made up of a lot more than ju...

Change the current exp grouping penalty and/or change the exp tables in favor of those classes who are in dire need of it.

Cavecity is now home to some new overlords, who of course possess new equipment and maybe even some rare loads for your enjoyment. I don't mean to panic, but this doesn't mean that any of the other items have been removed, have they? Especially the plethora of quest items? Probably not, but I just ...

First, I'd like to say that I think the idea of two-character multi is stupid and would just kill the MUD faster than Shevarash's hand-sitting. As for the amount of unique ISPs logging in on those multi-days--well, it's not fair because those are what you call "events"--as in, something th...

Forgive me for not precisely getting across what I meant.

Okay, cool. Thanks Corth!

Actually, I agree with Sarvis. While this country is far too litigious (granted, I myself had sued someone last year for running me over--forgive my greed, but I was in pain), too many companies make far too much money before the lawsuits start rolling in. Thus, the amount of money they make on a fa...

Shev, in all seriousness what were your thoughts upon reviewing this 3 years ago? I didn't notice a follow-up post regarding your thoughts after you had reviewed it. Do you still really feel it's not overpowered a) in general and/or b) for an EFHR? I think the Khanjari has a few issues and needs ad...

Free 2-char multi does not address the fundamental problem: we need more players. If we had an influx of players, there would be enough that they could play with each other and free multi would be useless. If we don't have enough players, free 2-char multi won't cause 15-man zone runs to suddenly s...

Regarding moonwell, wormhole, relocate, shadow walk, life walk, (insert other transport spell here) and the requisite casting time/lag time after cast (not to mention failed relocates, etc): I think the long cast time/lag are there to try to cut down on someone twinking something and then running of...

It will never cease to amaze me the ways people can hurt themselves. Yeah. How dare people actually trust that an iPod battery won't catch fire.

Birile rummages through his backpack and pulls out one of the potions he had taken from the first encounter of the day. Stretching out his hand, he offers the potion to the monk. "Here, try this. It's some sort of weak conjuration magic, hopefully some sort of small curing formula, but nothing ...

Out of curiosity, has this issue of seeing through the disguise been looked into? From what I understand, it'll fool any other form of justice/race-aggro mob. I could be wrong, though!

This may be related: I've noticed in CM that if I'm exping against bugbears or duergars (for instance) with my necro, when my pets assist me they will growl at whichever bugbear/duergar is in the top of the room list, whether it's the mob I'm fighting or not. The pets will always engage the correct ...

It shouldn't be too difficult to find a lawyer to offer you a free consultation. Any lawyer worth their salt will be straight-forward about whether you have a case or not--they won't (contrary to popular belief) string you along to pad their wallets.

Yeah... get a lawyer quickly and let him handle holding the police department accountable (ie. he's trained in how to give them a verbal lashing without making a misstep that could land you in trouble) and let him also advise you on what to do next (if anything).
