No editorializing on the flashing newsfeed!

:P

Can we remove the "(finally)" from the "1.0 released" cycling new post at the top of the forum page?

Re: PVP System -- Feature Discussion

I'd say turning PvP totally off would be taking something away from the game. Being one of the victims, I'd also say that no-restriction-PvP would also take something away from the game. Obviously, people who pk anyone for fun and kill people much higher lvl then themselves are better in the game th...

The Seductiveness of New Features

Envision the following two necklaces, and think which one looks better, and is the preferable example of a necklace: A. A necklace made of ten uncut, uncleaned large rough diamonds, tied with baling wire onto a crude loop of hemp twine. B. One single mid-sized, gorgeously cut, perfectly polished, im...

Re: Move towards highly configurable servers

I'll start it off with: Player starting inventory could be set via config instead of code. Currently, modifying what players start with involves mucking about in the code, with moderate odds of making a mistake (I've done so in the past on my ironman server, for example). It would be great to instea...

Move towards highly configurable servers

This seems like a good time to bring this topic up. This something that Bill has been pushing for, and I was reminded of it in the discussion on pvp (specificly, the idea of having pvp settings that are exposed to a cfg file, so server ops dont have to mess around much in code). We should think abou...

Re: PVP System

There definitely is a broad spectrum of perspectives on PVP, which runs the gamut from all-pvp-all-the-time to no-pvp-at-all. Historically, and under our maintainer, there does seem to be a stake in the sand that mangband will currently contain some degree of PVP. While many of you will of course kn...

Re: !!@#! Create Stairs spell

That's an expectation I don't "have" so to speak (and why I brought up the I-Pod shuffle example). Its the ol "human idea of random" vs "actual honest to god random" heh. That is, I *know* its random, and acceptable, randomly, to have a dozen stairs-up created. But, being human, I inevitably think "...

Re: I'm turning over a new leaf...of sorts!

I applaud the change of heart and, like crim, look forward to seeing the change of behavior that hopefully arrises from it :P On that note, I'm chuckling thinking of all the times in the past when, chatting to a new player, I tell them "oh, and if you see some guy named BigJuan - he's ok, just don't...

Re: **KING** Kaze

Awesome work Kaze! I'm glad you were able to scramble to get your HP up to a safe level for the big fight.

Man, that's pretty freaky to see your art get fried a bit from Morg. How did it go lacking res blind?

Huma mapped part of the world

Some time back, Huma set out on a quest to map the wilderness. When out in the wilderness, you can hit the M map mode, and see a depiction of the wilderness map you know of, with each single character representing one whole wilderness level. There are different types of level (swamp, forest, badland...
