Dated: Sun Feb 09 22:10:22 (1088)

Tonight's winner is Savaloy-of-the-Mysterious-Ingredients with ...
2 kills and 1 death (and no divulging of what a Savaloy is really
made of ... so I still don't know ... sigh ... not going to risk
eating one to find out though)
Second place is a tie between Whinnie and Theft - 1 kill and 0 deaths
Ballbag was killed twice, Moriarty once (before leaving to slay his ISP
instead). Justice just kept busy! It was a bit quiet on the slaying
as everyone was trying to get the better of Theft's auto-flee.

From: Smit
Subject: Bloodbaths
Dated: Mon Feb 10 07:32:28 (1089)

It does seem a shame to spoil the fun of the Bloodbath with
such spiritless attitudes. To openly admit and brag about
'frowned upon' practices certainly has turned down the numbers
of people taking part in the BBs. Add to that Chant making an effort
every Sunday (well not 'every' sunday ;) to organise the event
and you are left with a sour taste in the mouth.
Produce your software and I will gladly disable all triggers!!
Failing that I could unload a clip from the .38 into the machine

Subject: BB
Dated: Mon Feb 10 13:31:20 (1090)

Theft - you said after the BB that there is no skill in fighting...
it seemed that that was your reason for having an auto-flee.
Generally auto-flees are used by people that can't fight.
You also mentioned your 'bot for hoovering t. A reset in 3 mins?
...nearly perfected.
It seems to me you aren't interested in the game - just in your coding.
I hope a kindly Arch sees that you are not suited to a MUD like this
...and blots all your characters.

Blimey...
We know changes to the game dont come that often.
But for BB's it would be interesting to see the
QQ and QUIT commands disabled
With an arch being around people wanting to leave
and with wizards about maybe, people would be booted
if they wanted to leave while it was in that state.
Just an idea to try and make the BB's funnier, and
try to increase the deaths again!
And for people who dont like the auto flee, simply
dont fight him
create a trigger like his..flee o..for theft

From: MrDeath

Dated: Tue Feb 11 12:33:27 (1094)

I think that is a great idea. However, I don't think this will happen

I am not sure many killers DO use the "double persona" tactic you
describe and rightly criticise.
Far MORE common surely is the immortal lurking invis just waiting for
Blahblah the Necro/Warlock to log on and leave safe. This is terribly
caddish and ungentlemanly too.

What a bunch of unsufferable windbags!
As far as having two personnas on at the same time, I have never witnessed
this, ever. Only in safe.
And as far as wizards hiding to get a lock on Blahblah the Warlock
this has been going on since someone made the first wizard
the fact you couldn't fight your way out of a paper bag seems
to have swung your opinion Branwell.
If its that big a deal bring back pacifism and watch ALL of us leave.

Well of course you have never seen anyone having two
personna's on at the same time Smitty, every one knows
that if they did it whilst you were on, you, being the
upright citizen that you are, would report it straight away
and so would obviously think twice before doing it in

Zeon, The only time I have seen 2 personas on at the same time they were
both in safe. Then again, I may not have known it was someones 2nd
that is on
However, most immortals play invis and when someone comes on they want to
attack
what are they supposed to do? Come vis shout "Hi i'm coming out to attack
you in a few secs, is that ok??"
As for my attack on Puma. He was on for ages before I went out. I didn't
know he was on low stam, but even if I did I still would have attacked him
anyway.

Subject: Blow timing on CT.
Dated: Wed Feb 19 10:23:24 (1128)

What seems to have been missed here is that there is a sense of fairness
amongst most of the Immorts when it comes to slaying poor mortals.
There have been a number of Immortals made over the last months without
a great deal of interference. To contrast that there have been some
persona who have been hunted down.
The difference appears to be in two areas...
Software-controlled personae and attitude-enhanced personae.
Sometimes there is a third group - attitude-enhanced, software-controlled
>>>>>

From: Bluebirf
Subject: Blow timing on CT.<cont>
Dated: Wed Feb 19 10:29:39 (1129)

personae - and we all know who that is!
Just as software-control greatly enhances a mortals chance of making it
lurking hidden greatly enhances the chance of them being killed.
(or being triggered to fl o qq)....
If a mortal is triggered up to the eyeballs, the balance has to shift
away from them in a different way.
Now, Puma. On Telnet, typing away at everything. OK, does upset sometimes
but a Java Wizard, in this day and age? I ask you!

While I agree with you about telnet wizard. I don't agree that it gives
him the right to completly avoid attack. The reason I wanted to kill him
apart from the fact that i attack all warlocks. Is that after an
attack on which he was on full stam, I got abused personally by him.
So vowed to kill him. I have achieved my task and as I do with all
mortals I won't reattack them until they reach the level they were on
when I attacked them.

From: Buffy

The standard mortal reaction to being attacked is "why don't you
just leave me alone and let me get on with it!"
Should we just not have killers at all? We all died at high level some of
us more than others. But, we kept at it and enjoy the rewards.

Well, there's more to life than killing....
A flee can be very painful too - esp at high levels
can cost a reset.
And a seasoned killer (with olive oil...?) will usually get a flee.
Buffy, take herbal tea for that bloodlust.

From: Buffy
Subject: Bluey
Dated: Wed Feb 19 14:33:22 (1134)

Actually, any warlock should be able to fight off another warlock or
at least make a decent attempt of it. The reason so many of the warlocks
can't fight is that they have made it to that level with such ease
and hence haven't learnt the game properly.
As for my bloodlust, I have no intention of stopping considering
I rarely attack anyone these days.

MrDeath attacked Krome and was 1 blow away from being noviced before

close and MrDeath could have lost loads of points and in fact did!

an opportune moment when they might be on low stam to

(9) Bluey, Quite right, a fighter is defined as someone who
enjoys the fight, a killer is defined as someone who
just wants to add a notch to their kill score
Personnally I fight because I enjoy it, if i get a kill
thats a bonus, if not it doesnt really matter!

programing (maybe a few fkeys) whereas killers
tend to go make tea whilst the fight is on

It is easier to kill with a backup immort

see the whole game most of the time. The fight
is not worrying but just for fun.
And I admit memory is hazy but I was taught

Humungous knows what weapon you have....
Enough is enough,
This game has gone back to the bad old times of Winseer and
all the killers
Bring back pacifism

I would also like to herald the people who have helped me
despite my ups and downs
Branwell has always given me a pick me up, as has Pauli.
Some of the day players are very kind and considerate and they
have done alot for me to turn myself around.
Buffy and Bluebirf have also given me alot of encouragement
The fact remains that 'someone' is always trying to bring me down
nomatter what I have to prove or what I have to say
To these people, I suggest you look at yourself and wonder

I wonder if you keen killer seconds get a kick out of
killing people like myself, it sure hurts alot
that last line almost kills me inside to see it
I wonder what you get out of it. I have killed people and
whilst I do understand the bravery behind it, when you have
twenty characters of every level, what chance do we have
I am left with the only choice to join badriya as a mortal
What chance do I stand againt the might of the invisibles
I hope my outburst brings somewhere some common ground

I just saw your post.
I came on, saw you were on, had the ls and the ring
So I waited patiently at Moats Bank. I think it was about 2 minutes.
You could have waited in the church until I got bored. :)
I did attack. You fought back, you didn't flee. You got down to 2 stam.
It's the game. Oh, and you had three keys when I attacked, I know,
'cos you left them for me. :)
Other people have made wiz recently, with virtually no hassle.
...but they probably didn't fill the CT up.

I am not blaming you, I am just pointing out that it
is not easy for us mortals to try and make immortal
with people attacking on sight.
I have lost countless points to immortal seconds in the last few
weeks.
Add to that the fact I am now logging on from work via telnet
and am probably going to lose my job for it.
I just cannot stop.
And my posts were directed at badriya who has also met the rusty longsword
I had better go before I lose my job.
And whilst I am at it I had better get a tettanus

Krome, I know you've had a hard time.
getting killed at Bewitcher. But from what I've been told,
you had a incapacitated fight with the beggar, with no weapon
then came back on an deliberately fell on Zyxterin's sword.
In a fit of pique.
I'm sure you will make it, you just need to chill a bit, take it
in bite sized chunks.

Everytime I leave safe someone comes out and kings my t
sometimes you have to realise that some people
do not like you and I am realising I have far fewer
friends than I do have.
To my friends I thank you for your support

Please do not take me too seriously
I am just as addicted as I was so many years ago

My Dear krome
Speaking as the person who killed you at Bewitcher
I can honestly say that yes it is fun to kill
however, I do remember the days when I was the
victmi of the killers
and it hurt like hell getting killed and losing poitns
and the last line hurts like hell!!
But, we all carry on and we make it eventually.
I only have a few personas and only attacke at 125k plus
or valiant for fun. As for invis people mocking yyou...just ignore them.

We do not all make it eventually.
But the ones who decided to sod off
I am currently on an empty game
and It is quite a usual experience.
We know there are newer and possible
better games with facilities for all
to build and develop or with visuals
or better roleplaying.
I did love shades though - and void -
but not enough to get those points
for around the 6th time. I died several times
on viewdata at high levels and a few on scrolling
so getting the points twice here was enough.

I can add to that voice
Why should people bother to continue to play shades
When so many people are hidden and trying to wind us up
It has only led me to the point of giving up after
I leave safe and a level the same of me attacks me in the
middle of nowhere when none have logged on for ages
The only conclusion is that there are a number or immortals
Just waiting to ruin everybodies fun
P.S. Some of them are OK
The rest are out to ruin the game

Hmm where have we heard this before?
EVERYONE has been killed at high level, well almost everyone
I'm sure there are a few who have no deaths to their name grr.
This kind of thing has gone on forever and there will always be
someone who gets upset enough about it to fill up the CT with
lovely stuff for us all to read and retaliate to. Hurrah!
Krome dear, I think you need to calm down a little bit.
It's gutting when you die at bewitcher (twice for me), but get over

...it and keep going! Its much better to make an immort and
have people know you earned it rather than have it easy and have
people say you didn't deserve it. As for playing at work, it
isn't everyone else's fault that you have to, just be careful!
NEVER do it when there's even the slimmest chance of anyone
catching you, and always make sure you get plenty o work done
before you even think about logging on. Then you can enjoy
years of playing shades at work like me (ahem, shh!).
Bored now, P xx

I am sorry you feel you don't want to collect again. Again I state that
killing is part of the game and always will be.
I am quite happy for the persona file to be wiped again (including
Arches ;-) and I will make another immortal. Sorry baddy, just because
you got killed doesn't mean...sod it quit!
You see my point....

Maybe it's time to replace shades with a mud OS that can handle coders?
from what I remember of the system running it Peri has to be at
console to impliment changes.... Other MudOS allow coders to fanny about
with it remotley.

Bottom Line - Shades is gonna have to compete with other Muds as there's
some real blinders out there...... I'd hate to see it fade away.

Well, it already has competed with other muds, and it is still here.
I agree it could do with more, but it has several things that other
muds don't.
A strong social element. A game play that you can learn in weeks
rather than months. And a fighting algorithm that must be hard to beat
The chance of losing half or all your points in a few seconds...
who could argue with that!
I'd like to see a randomness in locations..
to cut out 'botting.
Oh, and more deaths (of others, of course)
