Hey folks -

Let it be known that although these ideas are springing forth like mad, unless some people step up and take the time/effort to actually build/code these skills, the current imms are either overwhelmed with other mud work, real life work, or lack the coding skills to make these things happen.

Just don't want people to expect to see these skills implemented any time soon as there is really only one imm working on skills ATM.

How can we help? Lets say I wanna develop a skill or spell, work the maths ,etc what can I do? Write a description , a help file, effect? But before we do that we need green light on the imm staff no? Theres no point to develop a skill or spell if it doesnt fit the game and it will be turned down. I can help but need to know how.

You ...

A) ask blobbies permission to do the work
B) talk to blobbie about permission for the creation a specific skill
C) get blobbie to set you up w/ access to skills
D) examine / study other skills that are similar in nature to figure out how to implement the new skill
E) talk to blobbie, squirt, or maybe myself (once i'm more familiar) on how to make the skill after you've given it an honest effort.

As far as I know, Pallys and Warriors have lots of skills (and news ones to boot) and other classes need skills done before adding lots more for these char types.

I won't like - it's not easy and it's not simply making a help file. There are things to consider - actually lots of things, when making a skill/spell.

If you're serious in helping out - talk to Blobbie about it. Drop him a mudmail and he'll get back to you. Mudmails that offer up service to the MUD are responded to more quickly than whiny ones that don't do anything but cause grief or more work for the IMMs! (that's not directed to anyone in particular).
