| A Licence To Fix, posted on Mon Oct 5 00:05:03 2026 | | Posted by: Realm | | Category: General | This month's bugfix weekend was mostly focused on assassins, because alphabetical. Here are a few of the noteworthy changes:
* Assassins' Guild Library books should no longer be able to escape the Library through tricksy means, and the Library is now better at keeping track of books that have been checked out. Various other Library bits were cleaned up too.
* Roary Pig participants should now be able to fight on both guild grounds during the event.
* Very small quantities in lab equipment can n...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Being Extremelia Anoian, posted on Wed Sep 30 16:21:08 2026 | | Posted by: Realm | | Category: Guilds and Am (domain pages) | Thanks to a generous donation from a certain Postmaster, the "Temple" of Anoia on Cable Street has recently enjoyed something of a revival. Its doors are now open to the public, and worshippers, the curious, and anyone suffering from particularly stubborn furniture are all invited to pay their respects to Anoia, Goddess of Things That Get Stuck in Drawers.
Recognising an obvious meeting of minds, the Le Crucible utensil range has also opened a shop within the temple, offering a selection of i...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Accelerated Learning Programme, posted on Thu Jun 4 08:38:31 2026 | | Posted by: Presto | | Category: Special | | Pay attention class! There have been a couple recent updates to teaching. First, as you may have noticed, there are syntaxes for teaching/learning all the commands that the teacher can teach the student, all at once. Second, after analyzing data from the log, it turned out that a little over half of all teaching was taking the maximum possible time to complete. This seemed excessive, so the time delay has been rescaled such that the maximum time will occur at a higher XP threshold than it did... Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| No One Takes You Seriously When You Ain't Got No Teef!, posted on Wed May 20 20:52:42 2026 | | Posted by: Evensong | | Category: General | The Igors have had a get together and discussed all manner of work related things before getting down to some serious partying with games such as "Stitch the second tail on the Donkey", "Operation" (with live patients) and, a new favouritye this year, "Crocodile Dentist".
As a result they have now agreed to add dentistry to the services they provide.
Pricing was also discussed and a certain member of the clan was told off for devalueing the service. He has agreed to be more of a team player in f...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Thousands And Thousands, posted on Tue May 19 05:10:11 2026 | | Posted by: Presto | | Category: Special | There is a new option available under "options output numbers separators". This will allow you to control whether large numbers will be displayed with thousands separators in certain contexts. Currently this applies to xp and rating messages in the teach, learn, and score commands and in the combat monitor. If enabled, the numbers will be displayed using the British standard of commas separating the groups.
Note the current "options output numbers" option has been moved to "options output num...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| Death And Taxes, posted on Mon May 11 19:40:02 2026 | | Posted by: Realm | | Category: Guilds | I've made a few changes to Assassin contracts.
Taxes taken from completed contracts will now return to the guild coffers as implied, helping keep things ticking over at least a little. Closing a contract through a regional guild that is not your own will, as before, incur an additional fee - this additional fee will _not_ return to the coffers. It pays to keep things local.
Contract and coffer donation achievements have also been adjusted. Progress is now tracked separately across each o...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| My Eyes Are Up Here, posted on Mon May 11 00:22:54 2026 | | Posted by: Presto | | Category: Special | The "describe" command now has a new syntax that allows you to control the order that zone descriptions will appear when someone looks at you. If, for example, you want your eyes description to appear first, then your hair, then your legs, you can use "describe zone order eyes, hair, legs".
In addition, the MUD will try to be a bit smarter about how many spaces it inserts between zone descriptions, so things should look a bit better.

| Chatty Chatty Change Change, posted on Sun Apr 26 07:20:58 2026 | | Posted by: Presto | | Category: Special | Hello!
As a result of collaboration with the Guild of Mysterious Things With Eyes Inside Magical Communication Objects, there have been some changes to the talker.
Thing one: The old "talker {brief|verbose}" syntax has been given an optional extra argument which allows you to set the brief/verbose state of chats, or of the "history" or "list" commands. The brief mode for "list" is the same as the old "list brief <channel>" command. The brief mode for "history" leaves off the timestamps for ev...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
| You Don't Have To Be A Fool To Be A Fool., posted on Wed Apr 1 06:48:08 2026 | | Posted by: Evensong | | Category: General | On this special day the creators have granted to the Guild of Fools and Joculators these wishes three:
1. Slap applicators will now be a bit more sparing in the applications and thus last somewhat longer.
2. An asbestos mask has been added to the T-Shop to protect Fools from the rigours of firebreathing.
3. Clownageddon now has a baby brother (or sister if you prefer to think in such terms) called Filly Folly.
Finally, to prevent the Fools being accused of being OP, a flaming red nose has been a...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
