New Spell: Leadership [2005-05-24 00:01:06]
A new spell for paladin's to empower their followers.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

New Skill: Twin Stab [2005-05-23 00:01:19]
A new skill for thieves to attempt a follow up twin stab on the victim of
a successful backstab.

In addition to this new skill thieves can now learn dual wield, and backstab
is no longer thief only (jacks and secondary thieves can learn it).

Cheers,
Blobbie.

My Stupid ISP [2005-05-12 00:37:12]
Some moron at my ISP istop.com put in a DSL disconnect order for a bunch
of customers (including myself). Then after realizing the mistake put in a
reconnect order which of course takes 4 to 5 days to process. I swear it
just makes me want to scream.

So anyways, sorry for the downtime.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

We're Back!! [2005-04-13 23:03:51]
Sorry about the long downtime. It seems that the perfect time to move is NOT
when Bell Canada's primary contracting company, Entourage, goes on strike :/

Anyways it'll be good to see everyone again after this nightmare.

Downtime. [2005-03-25 20:42:25]
The original plan was to shut down the server when everything is moved, but
I'm going to try and keep the server running till wednesday in the empty
apartment. Hopefully by then the number of days of downtime wil be minimized.
Of course, if the server crashes and doesn't come back up, I won't know about
it :)

Cheers,
Blobbie.

Downtime to Come [2005-03-10 23:30:54]
At the end of the month (of March :) I will be moving to a new home. At that
time I expected there will be a few days of downtime while my ISP switches my
DSL over. Current date of move is March 26th, hopefully the DSL will be back
up and running on the 28th at the latest.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

Vampire Skill: Dark Fog [2005-03-03 00:01:12]
Vampires can now protect themselves temporarily from the effects of the sun.
The spell doesn't last long but is sufficient to move around at a crawl when
the sun is high in the sky. For more info see the help.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

Skills Added: Bash Door and Invulnerability [2005-02-28 14:16:23]
Two new skills have been added. The ability for warriors and jacks to bash
doors open (most doors anyways) has been brought to you by Kiwi the Elf.

The invulnerability spell an old Cytheran spell for heroes has been reworked
and made available to paladins by myself. Enjoy.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

Skinning Corpses [2005-02-18 14:18:36]
You can now skin corpses (that are skinnable). Some fo the races names are
a little flakey at the moment (historical reasons), I will fix them in a few
days or so (for instance "magical creature (non-talking)" *heheh*. See the
help for "skinning" for more details.

Cheers,
Blobbie.

Pre-Lag (updated) [2005-02-08 00:02:04]
I was going to put it back in (actually I had it in for half an hour) then
I thought about another way to avoid the problems associated with instant
combat skills and non-instant spells. What I'll end up doing is probably
allowing for combat spells to be instant as with combat skills, but all others
to have a pre-lag. That means skills like kick will be instant as is with
follow-up lag spells like lightning bolt will be instant with follow up lag,
whereas skills like draw and peek will have pre-lag as will spells like
locate creature and summon. Feel free to let me know how this sounds to you
on the board or using the comment command.

Cheers,
Blobbie.
