I cannot believe you say these unspeakable things about him.
They are not true.
I for one know what it is like to be forced to attack a player.
As a 4minute old wizard Warrior was forced to attack Graeme's gallant.
No 'Someone compels you to k (name)'
After that Warrior was ostracised immediately and all the players on the
poor sods micronet were also pushed to game 8. So it was that Juarez,
Ford, myself and one other were left to rot on game 8.

Novicing autosorcs is a serious offense.

I am sorry to say that my time at Shades may be coming to an end.
My reasons for this I will make clear and even though they are quite
petty, they make the game fomr me totally unejoyable.
1. Getting told off for killing warlocks with my warlock to the point
where I was no longer allowed to attack due to the fear of abuse
and possible punishment from others.
2. Scripting. Recent people on the game have been using scripts
to make immortal. Eg. Bush and Co.....

Even though it has been asked many times for and arch to make a ruling
nothing has been done. There is no fun in fighting a script or chasing
a script. They fiddle with the program until it gets almost impossible
to beat. Either way, the game is no fun with people using these
tactics and being allowed to get away with it.

By scripting I dont mean using a small one to do the west

I have just read the recent messages about people using scripts

I use zmud but haven't programmed anything into it because I enjoy
the challenge of actually PLAYING the game, even if it it might
sometimes seem laborious
Perhaps this is the reason I have never made it past sorceror (of which

players. Using scripts is mechanistic through and through.

Don't all scripting t collectors cut theyre scripts into AREAS
such as the west tower, caves, arena, browm, morloch etc
to allow them time inbetween scripts to add ret commands
and zaps etc.
So that pretty much still allows for all scripts...
As for the worst scripting in my opinion, steals, rets and auto flee
auto run girl, etc. there is not any punishment.

The triggers/scripts that seem to affect the outcome of the game the
most are probably the fighting ones.
And of those? Auto-steal and Auto-Flee. Auto steal actually can
work against the protagonist as it wastes steals. Fighting is an art
and a skill. Auto-flee takes the p@@@ and is the lowest of the low.

I am getting sick and tired of seeing messages in Shades Admin
addressed to Zeon. Shades Admin is a forum read by several people
including myself. It is not a private line to the god that is Zeon!
I point blank refuse to answer anything that is personally addressed
to Zeon any more...So I suggest if people would like a swifter reply
to thier admin questions they stop addressed them to him. If you
want to send messages to Zeon use his email address not the admin

What Savvy is merely trying to say is that there are other arches

of a reply they shouldnt be addressed to one particular arch
However, I have no problems whatsoever for people to refer to me

Just to let all know that I have blotted beccy because
I caught her running a script on game one with her immortal
that allowed her to collect all the treasure with a minute or so
She was then dropping it in the MKR which is obviously pointless
as she is already an immortal and cant score any more
points (for your information an arch is 2 million and you
cant t collect up to it)

She was blotted for two reasons, one for interfering with the
main game (ie by collecting all the treasure) and two for running
a script, that was taking the p**s...
I expect better behaviour from an immortal and her track
record doesnt do her any favours

In the Scripting rules, it clearly says a playing will
in the first instance be warned by an Arch.
I had no such warning.
I hardly interfered with the game, no one was out of
safe, and I immediately reset all the objects,
seconds after picking them up.
I am not the only immortal do pick up all the objects
in this way and I have emails proving it.
But clearly as the rules are being applied differently
for me and different to whats in the infomation centre,

I think its fairly clear that what you were doing was wrong
and as an immortal if you do not have enough common
sense to realise that it was wrong then you dont deserve to
be a immortal. As for other doing it, this is as maybe, but YOU#

another, anyone else caught will also be blotted

What like I am told if I use bust without a reason I will be blotted
Even though my reason was an immortal WizKilling and not
responding why he did it.
Then Greed busts me for no reason, I have mailed the logs to
various people, and according to the list of immortals
he is still on it and doesnt get a blot?
Sure this is the same rules for all?

as the alleged assassin of John F Kennedy
then they will get the point if they answer first
Some people can spell/type better than others...
this should not be detrimental if they know the answer

Ok, firstly I never said anything about the bust apart from a joking

The Bust I am still no clearer as to why it all happened and frankly
it doesn't matter as both were restored. A week without a wiz?? not too ba
try having every wiz you make get blotted!!!
As for beccy getting blotted, jesus woman, he gave warnings all over

Could I make the heartfelt plea that the "Bust" command be restored

to its original force? namely, that is X busts Y then except in VERY
exceptional circumstances either X or Y should REMAIN busted?
And that all known additional immortals "run" by the guilty party
also get busted?
Enough of half-assed busts - so to speak!

a new one....:-)
Anyway, yes one party must remain busted if the bust command is to work.

I have seen Sinbad completely clear a reset including the black tower
He did this in less than 6 minutes from start to finish
Would you see to it that his account is ostracised as suggested in the
the scripting rules, he has been warned and to leave the game free
of all treasure in less than 6 minutes with a Necromancer is
a clear sign of a script running.
I would have wizkilled him if I had been quick enough.....

Hmmm, wonder what time-base you work on Sinbad? I'm afraid that
it just isn't possible to collect a reset in the time you do,
unless you have considerable scripting. Let alone itemise the items
you pond... "put chalice pond", "put necklace pond" - I hardly think
that you type that (and achieve a 6 minute clearance)
...obviously you know Shades very well, and so are not a
"part time/new player". Perhaps you should consider the fact
the it is actions like yours that create the bickering!

Having already been warned by an immortal, I am now giving you
your final warning. If you are caught using a script such as
this again your account will be ostracised. It simply is not
possible to clear a game using 'a couple of macros' in this
amount of time, heck mine take at 20 mins to do the game in! :-)
Please heed this warning.
