I used to read the paper thinking it would give pointers on what's going on.
But people seem to be more interested in gathering crystals, hunting, sparring

You should be able to use `@edit-options +local' to use a local editor.  It'll
require a client that understands the MOO output and sends the MOO the proper
input, of course.

Make a maximum KO time, 20 minutes sounds good, maybe 15? Whats the consensus.

More potential from the start. When average armed skills are 300+ it kinda
sucks to have to start from 5 or 6.

A set of spells only attainable to mages who choose magic over weapon
training. Sort of like advanced mages spells for each circle. You could impose
huge penalties for weapon combat and allow these other spells to be more of an
edge in a combat situation.

Subject:  Previous

I doubt that will happen for a number of reasons. First, spells have to be
taught and finding a teacher to learn those spells could be next to
impossible. Much easier to give the regular coded combat skills to the mages.
Second, there is an automatic penalty when a spell is cast in the way of
insanity. Yes, using the weapon skills causes fatigue but fatigue, on a
crystal for crystal basis, is much easier to lower then insanity.
Personally, I'm still trying to figure out what the purpose of Focus is. It
doesn't give you any kind of edge when casting a spell that I can tell, nor
does it lower the amount of ins you take when a spell is cast. Most checks (at
least that I can tell) when a spell is cast are done on a WP against WP basis
rather then Focus.
Can somebody tell me where it fits in the coded combat system? What checks it
and when?

Subject:  Focus

It helps in contests of one magic user vs another, or one magic user trying to
overcome the willpower of someone. If you cast a spell on some non-user, he
resists with his WP. The higher your focus is, the more likely you will
overcome that person's WP.

A few other spells may actually use focus vs. focus. I know for a while there
when I had really high Focus, Dante would fail spell attempts on me, and he
had higher WP.

Ok, case and point. Harbinger ko's Karn, he has been unconcious for over an
hour now. Put in an unconcious limit of 15 minutes, game time thats 45 minutes
no one is going to be out that long. And we can't revive him thanks to the
modified unconcious code.

If you didn't insist on macroing 'wake up' after unconsciousness to
insta-revive yourself when the code was the way it was before, it wouldn't be
so steep in the first place. *smirks*  Perhaps to offset it, it could be made
possible to 'revive <x> with medkit' (smelling salts?)

I think that everyone would be a lot happier if they learned to ignore her
when she bothers them and to make liberal use of the @unsubscribe *chat
command when it gets too overwhelming. Why bother punishing her when it'll
just make her unhappier -- she'll find other outlets for her frustration.
Ignoring tends to be the best policy when it comes to bullies -- even those
who don't realize that they themselves are the bullies, and not the victims.
