News from the Realms:
Quests being run:
Comatose: Fantasy Football
I want to start a fantasy football league. If anyone is interested
send a note to me. Once I have enough players then I will create the
league and notify those that were first to respond how to join the
league. The number of players is limited so please only join if you
are interested in sticking it out through the entire season.
I forgot to mention that the league is free.
If we hurry then we won't miss a week. That means we need to have
everyone signed up and ready by Monday or Tuesday so that the
autodraft can have the teams set by Thrusday and the first game of
the season.
Brodgar: Secret Treasures Quest
Do you have a secret item that you use and no one knows about?
Have you selfishly kept its wonderful stats for only yourself?
Well then good! Here is your chance for your greed to really pay off.
If you have an item you know of that is truly an interesting/unique/special piece of equipment,
note me about it. If it's special enough and rare enough, you get a prize!
That loads in the game. Not renamed quest prizes you have recieved.
Remember, the rarer the better!
Some restrictions apply, void where prohibited. Limited to one entry per household, no purchase
necessary, open to Calathar residents only. Entries not post marked by Sept 1st will have to be
post marked by another date. Contest ends when I grow bored of it.
Solomnius: clue quest
A quest for mortals throughout the lands
moulded and placed with comatose hands
at recal the first of the clues has been placed
till re-boot you have before they're erased
the extra description is 'treasurequest'
so read away and do your best
Solomnius: tropical quest
After a wonderfull holiday in tropical Darwin, i've decided
to run a tropical quest, here goes...
Find me 3 things around the realms, the first thing must
be something found in the tropics, the second thing must
be something you would take to the tropics, and the
last thing must be something you would never take to the
tropics. all things must fit in a bag and be handed in
approx mid september. I will post another note with the
final date. Points will be scored for humor, originality,
and content.
forgot to mention, quest is for ALL BR residents
Buzz: i've lost my mind quest
The evil wizard has taken my brain and smashed it into little pieces.
i can't seem to think without having my mind in one piece. Once you all help me locate my
brian pieces, i will get that little wizard. i will show him who is boss. But i must warn
you, he is a very evil man, he has placed my brain in some of the most hiddeous
places. Some parts wont be a problem to get cause the guards are so small and weak.
But on the other hand, some are strong. So strong that only the bold and brave and go
forth and venture into those areas. I am asking for anyone willing to help to please do
so. He has given my 7 days to find them all, so please be hasty. i need your help!! on
the 8th day of september, i will no longer be able to think of my own free will. i will
become a walking zombie, feeding off the thirst of something that i do not have. thank
you all for your help.
Disaster: IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
Hi there realmers. First of all, i'd like to say "congrats" to
everyone who sucessfully completed either T-Games 2 or divebomb's
outcast quest, well done all. you may remember, a little while back,
that i mentioned a very large, vague quest, coming in september With
both Tgames2 and outcasts now officially over, it's time to fill you
in on some details.
******T-Games 3: Survivor edition******
Let me first say that i'll be copying all notes on this subject to
the forums, so i'd suggest that you all check the forums as well.
There will be several important differences between this incarnation
of T-games and the former two. All players are welcome to sign up
(you do NOT have to be a hero in order to play). Players who achieve
level 51 will be immediately disqualified from T-games 3. You may
not receive ANY help, in ANY form, from any non-T-game character.
This includes spells, items, cash, corpse retreivals, donations, and
buying any items from shopkeepers that aren't normally sold there.
You may not have any other character online at the same time as your
Tgamer, even linkdead (immortals, you are the only exception to this
rule, since you've proved repeatedly that you can be trusted not to
abuse the priviledge).
You may choose any race you wish (other than demons, of course).
You must have created the character no earlier than september first,
2003. You may delete and restart your character as the non-demon
race of your choice at any time. I will not be posting the list of
your main characters and your T-game alts at any time. I strongly
encourage you to keep that information private, for reasons which
will eventually become apparent. Every weekend at a specific time
(this time has yet to be decided on, i'm waiting for your input on
this) there will be a quest for all people involved in Tgames 3.
participation in the quests will not be mantitory, but is strongly
encouraged. Periodically throughout the Tgames period, people will be
removed from competition. The results of the quests will have some
impact on the manner in which this happens. i'm intentionally being
vague on the details, since i think it's more fun this way for the
time being *evil grin* Until further notice, your tgame characters
may not level past level 5 (in order to give people an adequate time
to sign up, without certain people jumping way ahead of the pack).
Tgames3 will be based around two teams competing against each
other, but the overall goal is for the INDIVIDUAL to not be
eliminated in the (probably weekly) elimination process. I fully
expect this to involve secret pacts, betrayals, and all the other
wonderful human traits which make CNN so interesting to watch *grin*
If you read carefully, i stated "no help from non tgamers" (being
tgames 3, of course) this means you CAN help tgamers on the opposing
team-i'd juts suggest not letting your teammembers catch you doing
it, they might be angry You MUST have "T-Games 3" somewhere in your
title (later, this will change, when i organize you into your teams).
if there are any questions, ASK ME!!!! ignorance of the rules is NOT
an excuse -you must let me know who your main alt is when you start
your character (but like i said, i suggest not telling anyone else)
T-Gamers may participate normally in non-TGames quests with the
permission of those running the quests, but may NOT, repeat, NOT
receive or use any prizes from non-TGames quests
Sponsors for T-Games 3 are Divebomb and Comatose. Kiri is a special
sponsor, since T-Games are her baby. Any questions regarding T-games
3 should be addressed to me, not the sponsors who already have a ton
of stuff they're going to be busy with as for starting a character,
i suggest starting one at some random time, to try to disguise who
you are, and then send me a tell or a note from your main character
telling me which alt is yours i don't want to be changing who your
alt is every 2 days, so take reasonable precautions to protect your
identity the first time you tell me who you are
just thought i'd also let you know, anyone who signs up WILL get a
prize, provided you log on regularly and don't just disappear into
thin air. the QUALITY of your prize will depend on the effort you
put in personally, as well as how long you manage to stay in
competition everyone will get something though, and you're not going
to be eliminiated based on not being the highest in level or stats
(i'm keeping HOW you'll be eliminated a secret, for now) oh, and
just to restate it, all mortals, heroes, avatars and imms are very
welcome to join i don't know if myself and/or the other sponsors
might decide to create characters too or not yet....one of the
benefits of the annonimity, i can screw around with you guys to make
it more fun if i want to *evil grin*
-best of luck to you all. -Dis

IDEAS, please feel free to comment!
Again: it'd be kinda fun if sometimes throw hit a different mob, if more than one in the room, rather than just missing or hitting your specified target
Crux: weapons that can't be weilded based on their strength should return an appropriate error message when attempted
Crux: consolidate the stat information and the ? information
Beanis: have things not be able to hit back while asleep
Crux: the new magincia moongate room should have a valid response when someone looks at the moongate
Crux: gold cost for enhancing should be a function of level, so that lowbies and newbies can have the same advantage as someone feeding cash to their alt
Crux: dispel evil needs a counterpart to affect "good" like smite good, or punish the just
Firebreeder: we should have a merchant like skill so it will hinder people from making level 2 demons and stitting on them as gold bunnies
Cacophony: when you're afk and you send yourself a tell, you should send yourself back what your afk message is set to (since there's no other way i'm aware of to see it)
Firebreeder: i think druids or elves should have a spell called town portal, so they can teleport to the fountains in other towns

Reponses by Anakin:
Disaster: allow choice of coulours for prompt as we do for cheer (since only the individual sees it, the anti-horrible-couloured-spam argument doesn't apply)
>>Colors are available for prompt, I have a rainbow colored prompt on Anakin. *pokes*
Isis: give demons their own guildmaster, and let us poor morties type prac at recall again
>>Agreed, maybe to put a little twist, set the RC Guardians. icon_biggrin.gif
Lairian: It would be nice to be able to pull up a SLIST equivalent filtered for in-guild skills or out-of-guild skills. A SINLIST or SOUTLIST if you wil.
>>The "*" on inguilds when typed "SLIST" will be enough, IMO.
By Lairian:
"*" on inguilds? You have asterisks? I want asterisks...you mean we have asterisks and I've never seen them? *pout*
Also, wouldn't it make more sense for the out of guilds to be "*"ed, with a footnote type thing at the bottom denoting that it's out of guild and prompting newbies to read help oog (if that exists...I've never tried...*toe*)?
And I like Anakin's bouncy girl...kawaii!
