I used to run a FidoNet BBS over 9600 baud. Later was 14.4k, then 28.8, multi-node, etc... It was my system, my phone line, my work, my money. I let people use my computer and phone lines... for free. They were my guests. I respected them, and they respected me. But I had the last word. There was no...

As Far As I Know

Charisma by common definition has nothing to do with looks. You may equate it with looks. You may think the handsome car salesman is more "trustworthy" than the fat ugly one. You may believe the slender, blonde sales rep knows more about her product than the mustache wearing female sales associate. ...

who all remembers the Orc invasion in WD? (I think these were the orcs from UM)

I haven't read any news about it yet, but how is the Open Alpha gonna work exactly? Are people just gonna log into the mud and sit around playing and trying to break stuff on their own, when *POOF* an Admin pops in and points, "I want you, you and you - stat. We're doing tests on Dragon Procs and sa...

If you bought a nice house in a nice part of the not-so-hip part of town 5 years ago, today you could sell that house for 2 or 3 times that amount, since you're in the hip-gotta-have-it part of town now.

Hey Lynn, long time no see..

I got tired of making my landlords rich...

I ussually SSH into a machine on the external network at the office. THEN telnet to the mud. It seems to bring me less lag. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR><font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by santego: <B>Raiwen wrote: Problem here if you have a...

I think the graph bar is a bad idea anyways. From Toril: After a few levels, some instruction in the ways of talking to your guildmaster and the exp command, you could see if you were "grinning", halfway, well on your way, etc. I remember running to the guild during a break of exp and telling my bud...

Such is the case with all Unix based creations. I've found that when I'm interviewing programmers, I'll ask them what a makefile is and how they use stdin and stdout. If they can answer, I know I've found someone who can *do* something. I think most people started Sojourn like this, but I'm not sure...

I posted a portion of this in another topic as a reply, but I felt it should go here if I really wanted a discussion about it. I had an idea awhile back, but I dunno if this has ever been attempted. A Mud is made up of a data and code designed to interprete the data. How feasible would it be to have...

http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/smile.gif Long winded post that changes topic http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/smile.gif Well, that's the price you pay for rare loads. I really don't think they should be tied anyway shape or form to reboots. It's just my opinion, but the farther you remove the mud from oper...

I think mine's probably one of the lowest

I can atest to cats. I just gave my two cats a pill. I'm typing with one hand now. The other hand is now an extension of bone with puny pieces of flesh on it.

I was actually thinking about making a cgi on one of my web servers to suck down forum URL's and convert them to WAP er something similar. I just got Internet on my phone! But the BBS is not phone-phriendly, and it takes forever to read new posts from it. <maybe the admins could make a palm phriendl...

Actually, you don't have to be a proven leader to lead a group. You just have to be known. I lead Brass after I came back from my hiatus. I had forgotten everything. But I went with Kurkis several times. I logged everything. Everytime we had a rest, I would ask him questions about this mob, or this ...

I liked your Imix cloak, too http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/tongue.gif Thanks for lettings Fynorr use it. My other favorite was my holy flamberg. First real weapon my warrior got. I really liked to the elegant katana in it's original cursed version. It looked cool and made a good water weapon. <BLOCKQU...

Naw, I never played EQ. Though I do play QuakeIII at the office against office mates after 5pm

That's a really cool idea.

-I like it-

Might even get Massaki back in the game with that angle...

I'm glad you said something, I really like that zone, too. A nice mid-leveler zone IMO.

Hey boo.

common.. you know who said it.

Bah.. hit wrong button at the bottom. Started another thread and didn't wanna.

I'd be interested in an Atlanta Party. I'm 2 hours north in Chattavegas.

After Toril closed, I had much more free time. I was already burnt out in school, had two more years to go. Started full time at the ISP I was working. Lost a girlfriend (thank goodness). Got another (even better). Left the ISP business for a year and half for Unix programming for a medical company ...

Hiya Old timer... you gonna play again?

Drakkoth dueled 2 duegar mith hammers for a bit. I also think this was the time when your second weapon also gave ya full hit/dam bonuses. So, a dueling ogre was bad news indeed. Frightful!

Which message board or egroup message did Shev mention storage characters? I don't recall that information.

Here's another questions: Do Paladins and Rangers really need all 10 circles of spells? Historically in AD&D terms, Rangers and Paladins could only get max 4th level spells. Though, I agree that spells which provide protection, divination or healing would benefit Paladin's or Rangers much better tha...

Just an idea taken from D&D 3rd Edition - Assassin prestige class?

It would be neat if hiding first would improve your chances of hitting. But I dunno if you want it improving your damage. Cause ya know... if PC's get it, then mobs get it, too. So rogue mobs would mean a REALLY bad day.
