In 980, a Las Vegas hospital suspended workers for betting on when patients would die.
In 980, there was only one country in the world with no telephones - Bhutan.

It's been made clear that "help apostrophe" will remain as it is. That's the only one I don't like, among those I've seen so far. I wasn't the one who first suggested adding more grammar help files, but if there are more going in, then I would be happy enough to be the one to write them. My help fi...

I am not saying that all spells should make someone evil. I am saying that if we choose to start making spells affect alignment, then let's balance it out. Since we have damage spells, then there are healing spells to balance out. One takes away hp, the other gives it. One spell takes away alignmen...

It sounds stupid maybe but err dexterity checks?

What do you guys think about dexterity checks... if you fail you get moved to another room.. is handy for the one thing that you tend to do a lot when you're doing paper & dice rpg.. about the code, seems like it's not that different from speco_teleport and the demon version of it.. probably no dela...

err speco_teleport, while the name implies teleporting, does not have to be "teleporting" as such... there are some nice examples for that... the thing i fear is that a nopass flag will be over-used as much as the nopick flag has been having said that.. speco_teleport is going to be over-used, i kno...

you have *cough*speco_teleport*cough* who needs nopass doors..

Maybe I should write some experimentation-kind of ...

This is a reminder to myself to walk through the relevant fight code in standard merc one day/night and point out some funny stuff... let's say the mob and player are above lvl 30: anyway assuming that you hit a mob according to the calculations without dodge/parry (*) (waving through hitroll, thac0...
