IDEAS:


Universal: An option that you can toggle that changes whether you see the text when a mob or character parries
or dodges.

Demonlord: why not just take plague away from elves, i dont i've ever know of ANYONE that actually uses, let alone
as an oog spell

Universal: Things with a character's name on it such as corpses or body parts, should have your name as a syntax.

Criterion: the spell bless should positively affect alignment

Kinda: Pet's should be able to carry something - at least in their mouth

Rhyme: maybe if someone writes a note while drunk, it is littered with funny confessions... all of them hopefully
untrue. but like they say, nobody is as honest as a drunk.

Tiamet: put a Siberfels item in Help Rumors 30

From dove:

The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that, "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount." However, in government, education, and in corporate America, more advanced strategies are often employed, such as:

1. Buying a stronger whip

2. Changing riders.

3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.

4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride horses.

5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.

6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.

7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.

8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.

9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase dead horse's performance.

10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.

11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.

12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.

And of course a favorite . . .
promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

Well, when I get a new job I'll be sure to test that theory out. ;)

Most of the people i know actually become more honest when they have had a few too many, and say things they otherwise wouldn't have said.

If so we would need to code in at least 10 secrets (things people would normally keep to themselves) from each player to add to the notes :)

ooooops - i just re-read the quote, 'nobody is AS honest as a drunk' - take away the 'AS' and that's what i read (must have seen the 2 'as' and canceled one out - dislixia?) *blush* oh well, what's written is written.....*leaves the room quickly and quietly*
Respect!
