Ghaleon: Another Halloween Quest
Just an addition to the already long Halloween Quests is a Costume Party.
The object of the quest is to find 5 items that you'd wear for Halloween
Simple enough? You can email me what you've got. kineyas@comcast.net
Everyone can join the quest (from levels 2 - 155). There are different
categories in judging (to be announced).
There are no spell restrictions, locate all you want, I want to see some
originality though.
Quest ends in October 30.
Remember, we're still looking for the costumes. On 31, we wear them. ;D
Quest sponsored by Leiland. All questions can be directed to me.
You don't have to WEAR these items, you don't have to POSSESS these items either.
All you have to do is simply list them all, and email them to me.
If the item has a really hard keyword, attach it cause it has to be in BR.

DevilsAngel: Haunted house quest
The haunted house is set up and ready to go again.
Some of you have gotten in touch with me about times and dates to go through.
I will be around both Wed and Thurs between 1pm and 3pm to take people through this week.
I've gotten a few notes on people wanting to go through, but unfortunatly none have really specified a good time for them.
With varying schedules I know this can be difficult, but I'll be trying as much as I can.
I have Tempo, Melissa and Drail all around the same level wanting to enter.
So level 21-25 I'll run this Sunday at 1pm system time.
I also am aware of Frai and Tiamet who are both the same levels as well so lets do 12-16 on Sunday at 2pm system time.
If you are between those levels and would like to enter please come that day if possible.
Sorry this note is a bit confusing, it has been a rough morning. If you have no clue what this note refers to, Visit the BR forums!
http://www.barrenrealmsmud.com/forum/ Will get you there. Click on quests and read all about the haunted house there.
Please show up following all rules of the quest. They are posted on the forums as well.
Thanks again everyone for playing!!!

Disaster: tgames quest for this sunday
a bit of a change this week, there's some preparation needed before
sunday. please send me a note with the names of all the tgamers and
who you believe their alt to be. (see, told you it would be a good
idea to keep your identity a secret) the deadline for sending me
that note will be 7:00 system time this coming sunday. (7:00 not 6:00
since some people may not be able to be on until our regular start
time of 6:00 and i want to give them an hour to write and send a
note) i won't be telling you how i'll be assigning points until
after i already have your notes and have had a chance to analyze
them, so don't ask. oh, and i mean "all tgamers" in the sense of all
those who have been tgamers, including those who are no longer
participating/been voted out.
you can send me your list of tgamers/alts by email if you prefer,
but if you do please send me a note letting me know that you have
sent me an email. my spam filter is rather unreliable, but if i know
how many emails i should be looking for it will make my life a whole
lot simpler. -dis

IDEAS:
Its: when ever a demon gets a new limb it always says agonizing
pain somewhere, why not take hit points off for diffrent amount of pain,
for example small bird wings would be alot less painful then large bat
wings.
Robert: how about a message when weaken fails to have an effect?
Exo: ok, when you get to the drunk condition, and then you sleep,
once you are sober, when you wake up, you should have a hangover, make it
so your mv/hp goes down when you hit sober
Exe: ok, i think we need resitances here, we have save-vs-spell
and save-vs-breath, but cant we take it further? mayve turn save-vs-spell
in magic resistance and make a few more, like save vs fire ect?
Kitsune: We have a music channel for lyrics and such, how about a movie channel for movie quotes? Just a thought

Responses to last week's newsletter:
Replies by Dreamkeeper:
Kithrim: spell for kender 'locate (object) to locate objects with in there
area/location
In reply to Kithrim: Kenders already get the peek command in guild at level
2 and if I recall correctly with no cost to use it. I think giving them the
locate spell aswell makes things sometimes just a little too easy.
Redeemer: automatic afk flags for idle imms (for say over 30 minutes) so us
heroes can take care of bad-behaving children when the grownups are away
In reply to Redeemer: I wholeheartedly agree with this idea. Way too many
times we have had the problem of being unable to deal with problems, I guess
I wasn't the only one sick of seeing "Let the immortals deal with it"
message. Then again they have done their best to help us solve the problem
of afk Immortals so let's be patient, they have so much to do and only so
much time to do it in.
Spiderman: have women and men's bathrooms so we can do our business and
girls can chitchat in them about the boys
In reply to Spiderman: I must admit seperate bathrooms? I honestly dont see
the need for it or how it would improve anything. Then again remember we
have M/F/N not just M/F
Redeemer: change the angry griffins in malathar from see invis aggro to
regular noninvis aggro so morties can just go invis to get their corpses
In reply to Redeemer: Isn't running into a aggro, seeinvis mob something we
should consideration before going in the area in the first place? We know
the risks and should either stay out or deal with it.
DwarfMan: Player stealing should be allowed in arena. Take "ENTER AT YOUR
OWN RISK" to another level
In Reply to Dwarfman: Maybe if it can be coded for the Alundra arena to be
able to do that it would be kewl, but for the normal arena, it would cause
too many complaints and I dont think it's worth it.
Redeemer: make death defeater potions cheaper because some lower mortals
don't have thousands to spend to get pass door to get o their corpses
In reply to Redeemer: I totally agree, the death defeater really shouldn't
be that expensive, low level chars dont have that sort of money, or tend to
keep it in their packs to avoids the thiefs. A more reasonable price would
be far better.
