DevilsAngel: mudd crashing
Sorry guys, but due to the mudd crashing last night, the Haunted house has ended.
I'll do scoring as quickly as I can, so you can have the results.
Thank you all who played!! I'm sorry to those that wanted to go through and didn't get to.
The imm story quest is still running. If you have an idea for How DevilsAngel became an imm,
write it as a story and email it to me by Nov 7. So far I only have two entries!!

Thanks everyone!
AMystery: costume quest
We had a fun costume quest and in the final tally, Cacophony won
with a delightful Headless Horseman, Stars came second with a quaint
artist while Daredevil as a baseball player and Fia as a Troll
rounded out the top 4. Please congratulate all of the victors for
they went above and beyond the requirements and that is why they won.
----------------------------------------
IDEAS:
Disaster: a new "afkon" command, which would raise an afk flag but not remove it, allowing people to use this command in triggers for unplanned absences (like when at work, being kept away for longer than originally planned)
AMystery: i wonder if we should change the message for when a room is cursed vs when the player has the curse spell
Peel: a spell/skill that demonize an item, but it can only be used once per lvl like foul rites
Shadowhawk: I know demons are already realy powerful but, How about a limb that gives the "throw" skill?
AMystery: I'd still love a time stamp on tells. Erin said something but I don't know if it was 10 minutes or 10 hours ago. Of course it doesn't matter since she isn't on anymore, but it would be nice to know
Kitsune: A spell that temporarily enhances Save vs. Spell. Maybe for magic users? Of cource, since I am an elf, I would like to see it for elves and druids.
Maybe there already is one, but... Just a thought - KitExe: why does getting drunk help you get mana faster? it seems a little... retarded to me, why not give a skill to ALL races where you can meditate and regain mana fast, but not regain hp... or at least regen hp slower then normal
Exo: when you buy a tent, you should have a lock that goes with it, so that you can lock the tent your are in... so people passing by cant get it, even those dirty little thieving kender... that way we could drop things in the tent fell safe about it
Redeemer: have more immortal birthday parties.. with lots of food and drinks and balloons! Cake!
Redeemer: I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but Aod is reluctant to sell his maps when he's in another shop.. He refuses to show his list of items
Kiri -- Only in petshops. Otherwise he works.
Deadpool: I think there should be a BR monthly lottery, where players can buy lottery tickets for $100 bucks each to have a chance to win somewhere from 50,000 to 1 million in gold coins.. IT would be exciting!!
AMystery: a speco soul capture, its a room hurt like the one with the council, but instead ofjust doing some damage, it has a chance of insta kill. could be more fun with a saving throw, make it and you start fighting a newly created mob, the soul stealer
Redeemer: not that it applies to me.. I was thinking maybe morts can be paid for doing jobs/chores for imms.. that would be interesting

Responses by Anakin:
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.
>>Just wondering, will this kill the demon with low hp?
Robert: how about a message when weaken fails to have an effect?
>>Like any other messages, I'd be glad to make new ones instead of "You failed." icon_razz.gif
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
>>Doesn't this defeat the purpose of drink/sleeping?
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?
>>What is this for? We already have tons of save vs items (click here). I don't see what's "save vs fire" really would do though...
Kitsune: We have a music channel for lyrics and such, how about a movie channel for movie quotes? Just a thought icon_smile.gif
>>I idea'd this sometime ago, I still agree.
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
>>Do we even have bathrooms in general? Still, when you get de-genitalized I still think you should be a neuter.
