Yes, I am about to spam, and yes, it is about things going on in my skull. You have a problem with this? MOOmail me, not this list. Dig? Good. For the longest time, as those close to me well know, I took this 'vacation' hard. To me, after just being made a Tek not a month previous, it was like when a former boss came to my present place of business and called me a theif and a liar. My, what fun, eh? Time passed, and tonight I began to feel like Knight in the movie Real Genius after Kent screwed up the optics of his laser. And this is when I had the following realizations... 1) Its just VR. Yep, its all binary. One good shining moment with Snake Plisskin, and its goodbye Internet, and it don't matter one good gods damn about anything afterwards. Why? Because it'll all be gone. 2) It doesn't matter what #2 thinks of me. No offense to Quinn, but it doesn't. Why? Well... Some weeks back, Quinn kidded around with me about coming after me, because I made a remark that I hadn't done anything wrong. I said it then, I'll say it now. Bring on your inquisition, for I fear no one. And I'll stand by what I said. Why? I'm clean. 'Nuff said. 3) Opportunity knocks. Since I was disavowed (I use that in the same sense it used in the spy community.), people have been popping out of the woodwork and offering me bits left and right. Its funny how that works. Some are basically my 'family', and some are complete strangers. For some reason it seems I've gained a _slight_ rep. It shocked the hell out of me. I'm no where near as good as Janus, Quinn or Mulder, but hey, I do ok. And soon, I will be helping build an RP MOO with my family. And you know what? I can't damn wait. 4) I outlived two of the most hated wizzen on this MOO. Yeah, I know. Its petty as fuck, but its true. One was like a brother to me, I would have given my life for. The other I had thought a friend from another MOO, then found out different. Both attempted to make my VR life miserable, and in the end, when it was all said and done, only one thing mattered. GREAT IS THE TRUTH, AND IT SHALL PREVAIL. One of the greatest occultists, Samuel Mathers, used that phrase in Latin as his motto in the Golden Dawn. I try like hell to live by it and its simple philosophy. I do ok, and as far as I know, no one has any complaints about me. If they do, step up and MOOmail me. Oh, and to those who think they can take off where those two wizzen left off, understand one thing. I _am_ the phoenix star of the Southern Night... And you can be burned. No remorse, no regret. So, thats it... I've said my piece. You take issue with it? MOOmail or email me. Finger Denali for the email addy, if you want. So, as if this wasn't cliched enough... And thats the bottom line... 'Cause Stone Cold said so. Fire on the Moutain, Lightning in the air, Denali The Mountain Spirit. -------------------------- Message 2129 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Mon Mar 30 22:58:41 1998 EST From: Moonheart (#20495) To: *Chat (#5391) Take one bannana peel and mash in a bowl...add a spoon or 2 of peanut butter and several scoops of vanilla ice cream ..blend well with a hand mixer or blender .......mmmmmmm Just had to share -------------------------- Message 2130 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Mon Mar 30 23:08:42 1998 EST From: Kynwal (#20497) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Webpage The 'staff' button and page is going to be nuked.

I know why they want me back now - the only other girl who works for us in front office (my cousin's SO) is leaving and moving to Florida. They will be shorthanded. Now, I should be overjoyed because this is what I had planned for and wanted pre-rejection. Only, I'm thinking they want me back for my trustworthiness and my hard labour.

Beginning May 1, 1998 the terms and name of the $19.95 Unlimited Price Plan are changing. It will be called the Standard Price Plan which offers 150 hours of AT&T WorldNet(R) Service usage for $19.95 per month, with additional hours billed at $0.99 per hour. We thought long and hard before moving to the Standard Price Plan, but found that most of our members use the service an average of 25 hours per month, while other members use the service a great deal more than that. Based on this, we've decided to revise our current usage plans to enhance service to all of our members, resulting in improved connections on the first try. Charges for usage in excess of 150 hours per month for any member on the Standard Price Plan will be waived by AT&T WorldNet Service until your usage is available for viewing online. On May 1, some affected members on the Standard Price Plan will be able to begin viewing their usage online. However, all members will be notified via email when their usage becomes available for viewing online. For more information about these changes, please visit these Web sites: http://www.worldnet.att.net/care/accounts/capfaqs.html to get all your questions answered. http://www.worldnet.att.net/care/teamattwn/coachescorner/newletter.html for an important letter from the President of AT&T WorldNet Service outlining service changes and improvements. Responses to this message will be directed to the two sites listed above where you will find the answers to your questions. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of AT&T WorldNet Service. As always, providing you with industry leading network performance and a superior online experience is critical to our business. Thank you for using AT&T WorldNet Service. It's all within your reach.

When all this commotion started, Axelle posted a question and it wasn't answered. I haven't seen a post about consequences resulting in being OOC in IC areas or vice versa. If you depend on word of mouth to spread things, rules are not going to be observed as to being -true law-. While hanging out with my pals here in the Round Room, I suddenly find my character @set to 0 on practially everything. I think I have 4 stats left, all of which do not exceed 5. Not that I mind - I was never a stickler for coded stats, but I do not agree with the method in which I lost them. As well, I don't know see how a rule such as this could be decided upon by one vigilante GM. If RH was so concerned about OOC in IC areas, she would, as 'Continuity Chieftess' code up a verb that teleported OOC PCs into the OOC area when they typed in @ooc, and not allow them to leave until the @ic verb moved them back into IC territory. Something like that MAKES SENSE and is a FAIR mehtod of dealing with the situation. @MOVING FEENIDS into the Round Room, @setting damage, insanity and stats to 0, are not. You are going to drive people away from this MOO. Trust me. True, your intentions are good - promotion of continuity and RP...but stimulating angst and frustration, abuse of Wiz perms will only incense people to strike out against you. If I may be so bold as to add one more thing: Alot of the GMs who got sentenced to vacation because they were not trusted, would never have done something like this. Abuse was a worry. I find it ironic and insulting that RH was kept and can get away with things like this. -------------------------- Message 2159 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Wed Apr 1 03:54:22 1998 EST From: Toraxyn (#19315) To: *Chat (#5391) I would also like to mention that, apparently, Razorhawk has something against posting her intentions to any mailing list.

Also to prevent one from going IC in an OOC room, and vice versa. Some rooms will be marked "neutral" and allow entry any @ic/@ooc switches. The Nexus (`@go Nexus`) will be one of these, and it'll be set to the new player start point. While I don't by any means condone what Razorhawk did, she was justifiably upset by the gross disrespect displayed by many players with regards to IC/OOC boundaries. I will work to remedy this. Please drop any derogatory discussion of Razorhawk from this or any other public forum. She's given a lot to the MOO, she was solely responsible for securing the site on which we run, and I will not tolerate attacks on her character.

Here are the two (mutually inclusive) NPC modes I've come up with: (1) $rpg.npc_are_invulnerable: NPC cannot be attacked at all unless their attacker trusts them, and vice-versa. This is the status quo. (2) $rpg.npc_are_immortal: NPC can be attacked, but cannot die. Either/both/neither of these sound good to anyone? I personally prefer allowing NPC to be attacked again, but making them immortal a la #2 above. Since NPC are supposed to be plot devices, it makes sense that they should have more control over their final death scenes. If an NPC doesn't flee or RP their death before accumulating thousands of points of damage, well, then they're not doing a very good job playing their character. Note that with this option, though the NPC cannot die, they will continue to be penalized with heavy damage, so being "immortal" ain't all roses. -------------------------- Message 2188 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Wed Apr 1 18:00:09 1998 EST From: Toraxyn (#19315) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Re:NPC I like it!

All right, there's been a lot to gripe about lately, apparently. But for once, I'm gonna gripe about something that has nothing to do with this MOO (well, not directly, that is.. though it's a bit universal in a way). What is the problem with some people anyway? Case in point: I regularly and somewhat religiously read a Tad Williams Discussion Board which is WWW based. It's a great place, really, because we all chat and theorize and ask Tad goofy questions, and generally it's just cool. Very rarely do we have a problem with rudeness (unlike a totally different board which I stopped reading recently because people had such a horrific attitude), and when someone's rude usually one or two of us will step in and say something exceedingly polite and usually well-thought-out. Most times, this alleviates the problem.. because let's face it, everyone's rude once in a while, right? Wether they mean to be or not. Well.. about 2 days ago, someone posted a question about the state of the ListServe (again, tad related) and asked if ListPeople gather in chat rooms ever. I posted an answer, and directed them to the various chats that I know about, and that was it. Some *muttermutter* person posts a reply to mine saying, basically quotesd 'Another GD chat room, just what we all need. Or is that a LIFE' So I got angry, but told them nicely to (in essence) shove it, and if they didn't like chats, don't come. Normally, that would have been the end of it. But no, this person and another person [whose name I'd never even seen before] post replies telling me to 'chill out' and 'simmer down.' SO... I replied. Apologized for any rudeness, even if I didn't see it or mean it.. and this *grinds teeth* person posts AGAIN and tells me 'you're so sugary sweet you make me puke.' Now. All I asked to begin with was that people have manners and reespect in a place where everyone is 'friends'. What's so hard about that? And what's so disgusting about apologizing if you may have offended someone? I realize I shouldn't bitch at you guys, but heck - i've got to bitch at someone. *sigh* Just rather ruined my evening, somehow, and now I've got to build it back up. So, you know, before you lose your temper and kick some unwitting someone in the face (emotionally speaking), maybe think about wether or not you're justified or acting with the maturity that one ought to at least TRY to display in this fine 'global community' we call the internet.

Realizing both those options would be highly abusable... my problem with the whole thing is very simple. I have an 18 month old son. So say I'm playing... or hunting.. or whatever, and in one of those areas where I can only be IC, and suddenly my son starts screaming. As things are now I would @ooc and run and find out what the trouble is. In the world as you seem to be planning to make it I have to run the risk of some schlep coming along and killing me while I'm afk rescuing my son because I can no longer go ooc to prevent my being attacked while I'm not there to monitor it. Setting triggers to automatically defend myself in such a situation is out of the question, both from the standpoint of the sheer amount of varience in weapon messages and from the fact that... as far as I know... anyone caught using triggers for anything is @jailed immediately. Mind you, I'm not terribly concerned about dying... the death penalties don't affect me because I'm far to weak for them to come into play... however I DO have a couple nice things that could/would be looted from me or lost when I died. I don't mind losing such things in a fair fight where I'm there to react, but losing them because I was forced to be IC in a public area while having to be AFK for some emergency just plain isn't right. Maybe there are other solutions to this problem? Perhaps shortening the amount of idle time before someone can't touch you? Perhaps haveing the system automatically port you to an OOC area if you are idle x amount of time? It does seemt o appear that if you get knocked offline somehow (lost link, whatever) people can't do anything to you, but I'm not sure about that. I know you can't pick up and move some nitwit who hasn't @sethome and is sitting around offline in a public IC area, and the amount of time before you derezz and port home after losing your link seems to be considerably shorter these days than it was once upon a time... but maybe I'm imagining that. At any rate... my main point is that sometimes we don't have TIME to walk to some OOC or neutral area because of RL emergencies... and maybe there ought to be some sort of provision to keep people from taking unfair advantage of such circumstances. -------------------------- Message 2206 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Thu Apr 2 10:04:56 1998 EST From: Tarla (#18104) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: On another subject... I was wondering if anyone knows how wide the tunnels under the RT building are supposed to be? My impression of them has always been that they are fairly small and tight. If that's the case then A) shouldn't you be able to block exit's down there? and B) Shouldn't there be some sort of limit on how many people/slisssh can be in a given room? Granted slisssh are small, so many no limit on those things cuz they can crawl over each other... but if there's so many that they're crawling over each other then a person shouldn't be able to enter that room.... and what about the number of people able to enter/pass through a given room? I dunno... just strikes me there should maybe be a limit on the number of objects that can be in those rooms at any given time.... including corpses. -------------------------- Message 2207 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Thu Apr 2 10:23:11 1998 EST From: Quinn (#2) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Tarla/OOC emergencies You bring up a very good point, Tarla.

Combat does not work when you are OOC so you can go AFK without having to be attack, and when you are ready you type @ic and it moves you back to your last ic location. I also have it programed so if you disconnect while OOC it will move you back to your IC location...this way I don't have people hiding out in the OOC lounge. It's wouldn't be hard to implement....just a few checks in verbs that shouldn't work when your OOC and to code the @ic and @ooc to move you. Just an idea to keep in mind if this would be something people would be interested in.

You can't @ooc when you are in the middle of a combat tho. I think that would solve your emergency problem. Of course there is a potential for abuse. Like all for most code.

The rude interjection of what is on the radio, or what you are eating, fucking, beating irl...this is what drives me crazy. While I am playing, nothing irl is going threw my head.

Then all of a sudden some idiot says something ooc, I don't like it, I don't like it Sam I am! Anyway I don't even care anymore, I just want some kind of escape rout from the plains.

To clarify: Most clarifications, I might add, were made by players: example, Player X says, "Damn, I never thought X could beat me." I've _never_ heard a GM give specific numbers to anyone's stats over Lun. If there's _proof_ otherwise, I'd like to see it. Oh... the worst I've heard? Someone once said they gave the NPC they made high focus. Someone else said they were creating an ahab that would be very nasty. They invited the other GMs (via pages I might add) to check out said stats, but it never was discussed more than that. Maybe someone's getting GMs confused with some of my beloved sparbunnies who _do_ talk about stats alot. Or others on the channel who complain lots about characters with higher stats. Never been more than approximation, though -- just like I can take a swing at Kzin and know I'm not about to win. -------------------------- Message 2230 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Fri Apr 3 02:15:42 1998 EST From: Axelle (#9124) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: Red Yes, Red is my older, better looking sister who is abstinate.

What was in Marsellus' briefcase? Remember the first time you were introduce to Marsellus Wallce. The first shot of him was of the back of his head, complete with band=aid. Then, remember the combination of the lock on the briefcase was 666. Then, remember whenever anyone opened the briefcase, it glowed, and they were in amazement at how beautiful it was; they were speechless. Now, bring in some bible knowledge, and remember that when the devil takes your soul, he takes it from the back of your head. Yep, you guessed it. And what is the most beautiful thing about a person; the soul. Marsellus Wallace had sold his soul to the devil, and was trying to buy it back. The three kids in the beginning were the Devil's helpers. And remember that when the kid in the end came out of the bathroom with a "hand cannon", Jules and Vincent were not harmed by the bullets. "God came down and stopped the bullets," because there were saving a soul. It was divine intervention.
