Clouds of sulfurous fumes rise up from the bowels of the earth.
A violent tremor rocks the land, causing the earth to shake and the ground to
buck beneath your feet.
A deep, foreboding hum emanates from the tainted earth, and then Shayle is
suddenly slammed into the ground by an irresistable force.

suddenly slammed into the ground by an irresistable force.

suddenly slammed into the ground by an irresistable force.
Hundreds of stones rain down from the skies, blocking the exits.
Dust clouds rise as the earth shifts and sharp rocks slide and bounce, some
flying into the air. Shayle yelps in pain as several of them smash into her.

Okay, this is an old topic re-visited, but I'm really hoping this can be changed.

That all happened in one second of fighting. Many of you guys are probably as annoyed with all the repeated messages hitting different people in demesnes. Could we please shorten the descriptions? Or possibly only show messages that are revelance to us? I like how they did Arc in Achaea. If a knight used arc, he will see it hits everyone in the room, but a single target will only see it him. Please please change this. pleasesign.gif

Bad grammar, but SO much more concise.

Good idea. Grouping would be so nice to see.

So those on JAVA suffer then?

EDIT: Least I'm told the java applet has no gag command...

Yes, we've also grown used to suffering. losewings.gif

I think it would work nicely as an option to turn on or off. Either you ignore everything except what involves you or want to know everything that happens in the location but it distracts your attention (spam sure does).

It could even be a skill in Environment. Self-centered or something.

Sinse you are bound by Mod status, I will say what you meant.

He can shove his can up his arse.

I found this amusing. And I feel the need to share it, so I think here would be a good place.

Well worth the effort to time my demesne effects, eh? laugh.gif

Shame that all that time was wasted setting it up, after I saw that spam I immediately forceforested and then you died so......
Kayde2005-07-30 03:04:18
heh, too bad they weren't really noticable except for the spam.

I like the idea of having a config command to gag anything not done to you, or at least consolodating area affects to something a little less spammy. I know some people that use those kinds of things to knock people offline due to the spam intake, and that kinda sucks.

Sometimes you people remind me of that character off of Mad TV that would say, "Look what I can do!"
Shiri2005-07-30 03:16:32
Geez, he only thought the spam was funny. tongue.gif
