"Philosophers and ploughmen; Each must know his part; To sow a new mentality; Closer to the heart" - Rush

Damn that extra day in February!

Wowsers I am flabberghasted!
All new skills to now be mastered!
I must say I am exited
With frostacres I am pure delighted!

Bah! RSN in November...I only see two professions released. I'm guessing Paladin and Monks...and though I'm itching to toy with a Paladin mainly for RP purposes...I've always wanted to be a mind mage, if you will. So, is Savant postponed I take it?

-Plur-
...is sad.


Give a warrior spells, he'll hunt for a day. Teach a warrior spells, he'll hunt for a lifetime.

>I assume Paladin is spirit and mental? And I'm fairly certain monks are mentalish. Three lists would have to be released for Savants alone (MnM, MjM, Sav) whereas only two need to be released for the other two professions, one of which overlaps both. So, unfortunately, I think your guess is right on.

For Monks and Paladins, paladins are minor spirit and paladin, to come out they need three spell lists (Paladin, Monk, and Minor Mental), so then for Savants to come out they would need two more. I still think your guess is right though.

>For Monks and Paladins, paladins are minor spirit and paladin,
>but aren't paladins just physical clerics?

I have no idea. I think I'm almost caught up on all of the changes to the old stuff and maybe the new races, so I haven't really been keeping up too much with the sonewnothereyet professions.

Frostacres transport galore
Long walks are no more
Will get you their with lots of flare
And no chance of arriving bare.

Has another fun second thing
Will Balouga do the damn thing?
Impressed I am for sure without
Raven Effect, short drop, sudden stop, lights out.

> The INVENTORY command will now allow you to filter your worn items

What I'd love to see someday is a similar filter when looking at other people--being able to just see 'several tattoos and piercings' instead of five lines worth of them, only seeing armor/weapons/containers (and not jewelry or pins) or even just being able to set an item limit (so I just see the first 10 items and then 'and other items').

March of rhymes
So its not time

You just have to wait
So just stare at the bait

~Yawn, i'm tired and i'm might stay up past dawn.

p.s. Great i'm rhyming now, I think i'll have a cow.......


You know your a true fan when you shed tears right along with them.......

When you use the "weapons" filter, will it go through your various containers and find all of the weapons that you're carrying? Or only the ones in your hands and worn (like some of the belt-worn weapons that are out there, and shoulder-slung bows, and such)?

If it does dig down through your containers and find everything that you're carrying... does it tell you what the weapon is inside of?

In addition to your existing list of keywords (armor, weapons, combat [armor+weapons], containers, fluff, hands) may I humbly submit the suggestion, "banknote"?
(Again, this would be if the new command digs down through your containers and tells you everything that you're carrying (and where!), as I just posted regarding weapons.)

Yes, yes; I know all about "wealth" and it telling you how much you're carrying... but many and many's the time I've had wealth tell me that I was carrying a bazillion silvers worth of notes, and I have no freakin' clue which container--or container within a container inside a container held by a container surrounded by a container--it's in.

>My last thought on the matter:
> Can we please use the filters to look at someone else?


LOOK is already one of the most complex verbs we have (think about Features and hidden things and object short/long descs and hyperlinks and...you get the idea). It's almost as long as ATTACK, in lines of code.

It would be nice tho, maybe with INV FLUFF people will begin to realize just how much crap they're wearing...grin...

RE: banknotes.

See WEALTH NOTES.

man, if you have that many notes on you that you can't find them...you need to give me some of them. as you just have plain too much money for your own good :)

So does "now" mean some time in the future? Any good definitions of "now" in Simutronics land?

march of rhymes

You know your a true fan when you shed tears right along with them.......

Is this a stormfront only option? I have tried Inv armor, armor inv, armor (asg list) and I cant seem to get this working. What is the proper syntax please?

>Is this a stormfront only option? I have tried Inv armor, armor inv, armor (asg list) and I cant seem to get this working. What is the proper syntax please?<

It's part of the March of Rhymes changes, so it won't be in till March sometime.
