Disaster: tgames tiebreakers

To: all
it's been suggested to me that when there's a tie in the voting, i
let you guys have a vote-off to see who is eliminated. i havent been
doing this so far, mainly because it takes more time, but also
because i haven't needed to yet since i've been counting people who
were there for the quest more than those who weren't. if you guys
want to change the ways ties are decided, you can let me know this
coming sunday at quest time. if there's enough of a majority wanting
a change, i'll change it. -dis oh, and i just remembered, there was
one tie that was decided through one of the players not having been
online for a very long time. other than that, i've only had to count
who was online for the quest and who wasn't. -dis
Everybody: a quest, of sorts

I was stashing money away the other day, and dug a hole in the realms, somewhere.
Into it, I put some 7 million coins. Now, I can't remember where I dug the hole,
unfortunately. Since it's not a big loss to me, I figured I'd notify the rest of you
that it exists, and, if you find it, feel free to keep the money. I am very good at hiding
things like this, though, and it could be anywhere in the realms, so search thoroughly if you
expect to find it.
Note, this will only exist until the mud reboots next, and remember, it is a hole that
the money's in. Happy huntings.

P.S.- If I remember anything about where it was, I may send some clues out for you.
-------------------
IDEAS:
Lehua: cumulative affect potions, rare - but with spells otherwise that can't be cast by anyone in the realm.
Rhyme: why don't we add a few more armor and weapons shops in calathar?
Redeemer: make practice dummy at the academy level 3 or so, not level 10.. because it's not much of a practice dummy, but more like a bully. It also scaries newbies away thinking that this mud is hard. It's discouraging.
Criterion: establish a method for registering tribes. members of tribes will help each other as much as possible when online. tribe can establish a central bank account which receives funds from its members
Exe: we should have a CHANNEL -ALL so that if we are being annoyed by everyone, we can just turn all of the channels except say and gtell... maybe tell too.
Lehua: local recall sites... you recall to the nearest one, except when you use the general recall that sends you to calathar...
Redeemer: We should have a makeover quest for a lucky lucky winner to be given a completely unique yet sexy wardrobe. (like that show from TLC)-Makeover story?)
Lehua: the more of an item a shopkeeper has, the lower the purchase price for the buyer

I'm embarrassed to admit that this has confused me as well. Getting
the "You are cursed!" message when trying to recall generally results
in something like: "Gee, I didn't even notice that mob casting spells
on me! <rummage><rummage><rummage> Drat, nothing to remove the curse.
You mean I gotta sit here until it wears off? Wonder how long that'll
be...Hey! It doesn't show up in AFFects! Maybe I'm not really cursed
at all! </></></></> Okay, I'm cursed..." Eventually I figure it out
and feel really stupid, but it would sure be nice if there were two
different messages. How hard would it be to code?

Not if it's a percentage of total hp. Sort of like 'pluck'...
