It's hard to quantify that, because it's hard to say what how much a typo detracts from the ratio, etc.  X and others would say my B:C is N:0 = infinity, because they consider my code to be one large conceptual mistake.

[The_Ancient_Sleeping_Dude]

I have looked at the code... If I understood correctly, it said: You have smelly socks... Last time I look at my code again. Maybe I'll look at toady's next

While searching for a random name generator, I came across this page, which has this--a random spell-name generator for Tales of the Dying Earth.  If you've never heard of that, just click the link and read the random list of spells, you'll get the idea.

Some of my favorites:

Unasseber's concurring toady,
Zuren's mutual malaria,
Hurtandi's aerial millstone,
Larasajan's prime annihilator,
and, when all else fails, Majnu's inadequate proverb.

...but anyway, that page has lots of other random-name-generation things that might be useful for ideas, and it has links to random generators for all kinds of other wierd stuff.

[Toady One]

He he he...  mutual malaria...  jesus...  prime annihilator sounds like math.

1070.  Three Toe has been playing around with it and reported lots of bugs to fix, which I've mostly handled, but it has slowed the list countdown a bit.  The effort continues...

[The_Ancient_Sleeping_Dude]

Awwww... why does he get to play and not me? I can report bugs as well as the next guy, I am only an unserious semi-spammer when I have nothing to do

There are some things only a brother can do. I've not got the demo, and indeed I was promptly kicked from the channel the other night to avoid spoiling the sekrit plans. Be patient, sonny.

I deny the fact that I have any parents, so I am nobody's son. What is an parentless called?

[Captain_Action]

A Bastard? Or was it Orphan?

[Silleh Boy]

'Bastard' is a child with no father.
'Orphan' is a child with no parents.

besides, i'm all for someone who can be trusted play testing it, if it'll mean that it has fewer bugs.

i'd rather wait a little longer for something that is finished as intended and has less bugs, than have it spoiled for me by being told more than the basics of how it'll function, or rushed and as such, not quite what it should have been.

[Toady One]

It's not like the version he has is playable anyway.  It's like a pre-alpha, and we've caught lots of bugs.  It's more like work than play.  Well, that might be a lie.

[The_Ancient_Sleeping_Dude]

Knowing the mechanics of something is what I live for, just ask Amnon (main admin on assault: high tech war) since I am usually pestering him about the exact math stuff for various random things, same thing on other muds. Anyways, enough of my ranting

*doh! I was going to stay away from page 8 unless the talk on in stopped. My new random goal is failed before it even started...  *

*gaspe* There are other MUDers here?

.... Why am I suprised? O.o

[Svirfneblim]

I've been watching this thread from the very begging and i have a few questions of my own.
How are you planning to make that river you mentioned? Will there only be one per game?
Will fishing be a nessesity or just an option? Will you be able to affect the river
by digging moats or building dams?
Also, will the wheather affect the rest of the world? Rains putting out fires maybe?
Random thunderstrikes?
Cheers and a joly new year

[The_Ancient_Sleeping_Dude]

also, it has been very quiet here lately? did toady get murdered by a pack of rabid gandalfies?

[Eagleon]

The Yellow Order of Librarians, actually. Alas, their powers of numerology were too much for the poor guy. =(

May he rest in peace, without books shoved in places.
