Sounds pretty cool!
Will the wardens use the same game applet as regular players, or will there be a new one for them, like administrators have?

Restricting Healers from assiting wanted list criminals sounds like a smart compromise.
Also perhaps assisting Evil coul cause alignment to drift toward Evil. Eventually the commands become compromised if the user is out of alignment.
Also here's a thought about Luz. Why don't you make her the conscience of Good in the universe, with a permanent memory. Like Santa Claus knowing if you've been bad or good. After a while she can start vetoing your commands based on your history.

Use 'thrash spider'.

I'm so sorry that she's gone. We all loved her.
If you can get to SI nothing else can attack you. You'll live if you're not mortally wounded. Sometimes you can still die anyway if you're right next to death when the fight ends. But probably if you can move to get to SI you're likely to be ok.
Unfortunately, all SI can do is keep you alive. The merchants won't trade with you. If you run into another police figure it'll attack you. It's the existence of the hunted. Not to say that isn't interesting, but... difficult.
I hope we can have a wake for her? We're all terribly saddened by her loss.

Hi Sara:
I'm mostly late nights and weekends -- ah, the life of a worker bee. Looking forward to meeting you!

I respect your right to disagree with me. But not your attempt to impose your personal views on myself or others. I don't accept your view, and I've proposed a standard for evaluating what behavior is acceptable and what isn't.
This is the last I'm going to engage in this discussion with you. I think you don't hear what people (women) tell you. And I don't care what you think is good rp and what isn't.

Juha:
In my opinion the tone of your message is so aggressive that I find it threatening. I'm not sure it's a good idea to demand that people engage in discussions that perhaps interest you more than them. I don't know how Dee feels, but that's how I feel after reading your post.

I'll tell you something about how I role-play. You can decide for yourself what this has to do with your specific questions.
I always role-play male characters. I've done this for years. I hate the experience of playing female characters. RL men treat them with such (RL) patronization. For instance, they can't stop offering un-asked for instruction. "Do you know how to find food?" "I'll be happy to lead you to the donation room." (All variations on, "Can I carry your books home from school?" Not unlike the instruction in how to properly separate RL from role-play which has been gratuitously offered in these forums, as if anybody had asked.
I don't identify myself during the game. I don't want my characters associated with the RL me. As soon as RL men know there's an RL woman at the keyboard, their behavior changes.
I play to have fun, and to explore new ways of creating literature. In RL I teach literature and have known Mark and his game writing for a long time. I like the literary side of things, but in the end I play to play. To be entertained, and maybe to entertain other players. If I'm having bad experiences I try to stop them. If they don't stop, I either go to a different game, or I try to organize players who agree that the experiences are bad. This is why I'm writing this now. I don't think two rude players should be allowed to ruin the experiences of others.
I often play violent characters. According to stereotype this is unusual for RL women. I find it emotionally satisfying to put the whammy on people who are being dicks. When the Forum or whatever it's called is ready in Triad City I'll look forward to kicking August's pathetic butt.
I seldom participate in RL forums like this one. I want to maintain a distance between RL and my characters. I usually only jump in when I feel there's something seriously wrong, as I do now.
I don't really want to say more about my role-play, because I fear that saying more will make my RP more difficult. I'll just say that lots of people RP in different ways for different reasons. It's not acceptable to be told by one or two arrogant players that we're doing it wrong.

As I read the bulletin boards, this is the way the dialog seems to go:
August/Kristofer: <says offensive things>
Women: Hey August/Kristofer, you're offending us, please stop.
Kristofer: You're not role-playing the way I personally like to role-play.
In my opinion the reasonable response is: so what? It's not up to you to tell others how to role-play, or imply your disappointment that they're not "smart grownups" according to the way you personally define those terms. Again, please don't.
BTW, the argument that "daddy [Mark] told me it was ok to call women 'cunt'" is pretty silly, IMO. I doubt it's true, and I'm certain it's not relevant.

Kristofer:
My characters are so separated from me personally that I doubt you can name them.
I strongly encourage you not to make judgements about who belongs and who doesn't. That's not your decision.
In my opinion you're free to explore whatever interests you when you play. That's not the same as saying you're free to impose your interests on others. By the way I read your message, that seems to be what you're trying to do. Please don't.

I think it's really gotten quiet. IMO, anyway. Maybe you should send out a newsletter asking everyone to come back?

I was thinking the same thing.
People seem to be playing, though. Maybe the boards are just quiet?

Hi Maggie:
Character stats change all the time, depending on things like day of week, where you are, etc. The fact that your dex dropped could be a clue: are you sitting or sleeping? Your dex drops a lot then.
If this isn't the answer and you feel confident there's really a bug, be sure to use the 'bug' TC command to log the bug. If it's verified you'll be spiffed Dinars for your report.
