Here's another that always gets a chuckle out of me (it's a bit long): A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult t...

correction

Zidane, you ommitted the punch line of the old lady/condom joke, which made it just kind of a lame story instead. Here it is, a little more Americanized (drugstore vs. chemist): Two old ladies are outside their nursing home, having a drink and a smoke, when it starts to rain. One of the old ladies p...

Re: current racial abilities...

I've got a couple quick questions... 1) Dwarves currently have mine prosepcting and the ability to 'mine smell'. I see that Earth Elemental gives the ability to identify minerals on sight, but does that include 'mine smell'? Also, will dwarves (or any other race) innately have this ability? How doe...

Of course, there is the easy one about killing your past self: Suppose you go into the past and kill yourself. Then, you would never have grown up to go to the past to kill yourself. But then you'd be alive, since you couldn't have killed yourself. But since you're alive, now you can go back and end...

I have a quick question: For elemental ancestries, could you still add an elem rune to a spell/weapon to have it do that type of damage? For example, if I was an Airomancer, and my spells attacked as if imbued with 'dis', could I still add a 'tri' to my spells and use them as lightning instead? Woul...

Just to point out, it could also be your mud client or PC. I haven't had any cases of major lag/kick in a looong time.

Ok, I didn't intend to create a big argument over this... if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I just wanted to explain my perspective on this issue. What you said in your last post about everyone getting the capped amount of Inner Peace makes a lot of sense. I for one have never used inner peace. I don't have ...

I'm not sure what kind of rings you have, and like I said, I'm not very experienced with very-high-level characters and equipment. However, it amazes me that a ring with 44444 espace is not "even all that good". Doing some quick math, that would mean you'd need an e400 obsidian masterpiece...

"Score" will still show your resistance percentages, right? As in, if you have 10 fire resists, your fire resistance will show up as 50%. This way looks the best and is probably the easiest for players to understand; they don't need to see the mechanics of the new resistance system in-gam...

Alright, for starters, I'd like to say I voted yes. I think a tweak to the way that resistances work is a good idea. However, I think some of the numbers are a bit unreasonable. Consider the following "chart" if you will, which contrasts the espace needed for the old system to the espace n...
