Hrmmm, I thought it was fairly standard practice to keep another set of spellbooks handy, either on storage, or with a friend. I know if I was a caster, and my spellbooks were my life, I'd want a set hidden somewhere really safe away from nasty things like dragon fire and mean giants :) Harthorm/Twi...

Hrmmm... I could be on crack, but I'm pretty sure that when I hid as my thief and attempted backstab, I had a much better chance... same thing when sneaking into a room. Maybe the ever-stabful Nilan could give us an idea of this? When I was playing my thief, I was of more use as a dart-flinger than ...

You're right, Iz... we are desperate. *sigh*

Harthorm/Twiblin

Bah! Sedawi... whatevah! It's podville!!! We gotta call it that so the newbies know what they're really killing!

Harthorm/Twiblin

Well, I might get smacked by a couple of Imms, and I'm sure someone has asked this on SOS2 (although I probably joined too late to see it), but is there any chance we can get a sneak peek at Illusionists? I, for one, am very seriously thinking about playing one right away because it will be a totall...

I think this is a definite must. It can't be that hard, the player already has (had) limited access to help files while creating chars under the old Soj. Just let them see spells and spell descriptions as well.

Harthorm/Twiblin

It should create hasted items. But don't tell anybody. Just see if anybody uses it and finds out. Hmmm, or maybe not. As I remember, you could create a skin, but you needed to fill it or have create water. I always wondered why a mage wouldn't make a skin with water in it already... Harthorm/Twiblin

If we didn't have to worry about CRs, what would we tell all of our lamer MUD friends about the next day? "Yawn..." "Why are you so tired, Harthorm?" "Sat around the fountain and sacrificed corpses for a 10 minutes to retrieve my corpse from Podville last night." "Oh..." Damn, that's boring. Harthor...

I'm looking forward to trying a more RP approach to the game. I always thought I made up kickass descriptions for my chars and never lived up to them. Who knows, maybe I'll fail miserably, but if you see me and I don't have my RP tag on in the first few weeks, whap me and remind me of my resolution ...

Kajib, your name sounds familiar, but as most people who know me know (does that make sense?) I have a terrible memory for names. Did we ever group as my Dwarven Cleric (Harthorm) or my Halfling Thief (Twiblin)? Maybe I've just seen you around, but I seem to remember you when you were a lower level ...

I totally agree, Minthur :) I do want the MUD to be done, right, but at the same time, this evil little voice inside me demands that I suckle it with glorious Podville stomping groups! Yeehaw! Hommina hommina! Blehblehblehblehbleh thbbbbbbt! *smack* Sorry about that. I think there should be support ...

Ahhh, OK :) Thanks for the info, Saitcho. That makes sense, since they'll want certain things tested and if they just opened it up, they'd probably end up with a bunch of people playing during alpha, but not providing relevant feedback. In any case, I hope it doesn't last too long :) Just long enoug...

Not having been around between the alpha and beta testings of a MUD before, will this mean a pwipe between stages? If it does, I'm not really sure how I'd feel about it. I'm thinking it would be good in one way because then high levelers wouldn't be running through all the new zones with ease :) I e...

I think the name generator will work fine. If you don't want to wait for a God, it will at least let you get on and play the MUD. The only thing I'd suggest, is to put a flag in the pfile of a player who had a name made by the random generator. Then if they wanted, they could request a name change (...

Hmmm. Doesn't it seem a little odd that somebody has grabbed names from a MUD that hasn't been up in a long time, all within the space of 2 days? Now, granted, we don't have to use Yahoo anymore, and can post our messages here, but perhaps there's a twink from the Yahoo groups that was trying to jer...

I'd really hate to make a date and then break it

Shev, nobody likes a tease ;)

Harthorm/Twiblin

I always have the sneaking suspicion that I won't find out the very second it's up, so I randomly load up zMUD and try to connect to sojourn3.org on all the old ports. It usually just causes me to choke up, though.

*sniff*

By what name do you wish to be known?

Harthorm/Twiblin, dammit! *sob*

Thank the Gods! That Yahoo crap was horrible. Who in the hell grabbed both Harthorm and Twiblin as Yahoo ID's? Bullsh*t. It definitely wasn't me. Oh well, don't have to deal with it anymore. I'm glad this place is back, I miss it from the old days :) Looking forward to MUDding. Harthorm/Twiblin
