  • Rave for awesome people. Various reasons, too many to list. Specifically, @Talan,
  • Thank you @Talan for that hilariously comedic timing on the warning about how potent poteen pots are. This has made my day.
  • Been playing with various things with forging. All four weapon types seem to now have the same damage/bleeding/balance speed from my testing, so no need to be stuck with katanas/rapiers/hammers/klangaxes any longer. All three of those values are ent…
  • I generally do 3 IG months (75 RL hours). Anybody who is around enough for it to have an effect on them will be around in that timeframe unless they're on vacation or something (in which case, at your discretion, you can hold it off or extend it to …
  • Stress vacation. Don't message me about anything urgent, I'm not dealing with it. Not sure when it's ending - those of you who need to know when I come back will know when it happens.
  • @Shaddus: Telnet echo. If your client supports it, your password should no longer be displayed when you enter it (and on MUSHclient at the very least, won't …
  • Either Lusternia implemented RFC 857 in the last 12 hours or I'm completely oblivious and it's been longer, but either way, WOO!
  • Thank you @Mysrai for the vote of confidence and making me feel appreciated tonight. Also to Steingrim and Viynain for the puns afterward. Really am sorry tha…
  • In the wake of more traumatic things in my life recently, I've been spending my time coding (more than usual) to cope. In the last half a week, I've managed to code a half-assed runtime reflection system in C++ with C#-like properties with only a -b…
  • This is a long one, and a bit of a stretch, but here goes.

    When Mysrai returned to the First World, she was borne in the Tear of Magnora, which exploded over Skarch. One individual was struck by it in the eye and promptly went insane: Qet…
  • @Yacsee

    Gaudiguch has been admittedly fairly dead for a bit. I'm generally on for about 20 minutes a few times a day unless somebody prods me, and …
  • It's 5:20 and I really just need to not be sitting still in the dark, and at this rate I'm fairly sure that I'm just typing so I don't have to do that.

    My cat died tonight. I think about 30 minutes ago, but I can really only base that off…
  • CL can hold ministries, but can't assign themselves to them (meaning they have to hold the ministry before they're elected). GM can be assigned to and hold them.

    Incidentally, both can do most of the jobs of most of the ministries in the …
  • (Quote) This is actually my main reason for setting up a lot of the rewards in Gaudiguch right now. I want to encourage people to keep doing things, and I want to encourage people who wouldn't do things to do them when they can. Admittedly, the l…
  • Oh wow. Loving whoever's controlling these alligators. I wasn't expecting that twist!

    EDIT: Also, sorry Lavinya! Your alligators are dead. Blame Silea!
  • A snappy alligator hatchling hops upon his hind legs, the other quickly joining him, and they interlock their front appendages and begin a jaunty cancan.

    EDIT: ...


    A snappy alligator hatchling begins to gnaw upon the vest…
  • My keyboard has arrived. It sounds and feels shiny and new and apparently echoes metallicly(sp?) when I hit a key which is weird but I can type again! WOO!
  • @Tarkenton I wish there was. One second, there was no crap. The next, there was brown, viscous liquid with a stench that couldn't come from anything of thi…
  • Typing this one from my phone. I am currently sitting in a Sam's Club parking lot, unable to return home for another four hours, covered in liquid dog crap. I really don't know how to react to this one. I kind of want to cry, but I can't stop laughi…
  • My keyboard died mid-rp. i did 2/3 of it, and this post, with the Windows on screen keyboard. My mouse hand hurts.
  • @Portius That is... not good. I will say this - As CL (since last May), I've received one notice about a book being submitted to the library, and rewards wer…
  • (Quote) Depends on what you're looking for. If you need something like Wordpress, my advice is the same as the above with searching through reviews of various shared hosting services. If you can actually pull a static site off though (and it shoul…
  • While Chade's suggestions here are great, I think you were looking for something a bit more... "I don't want to run a server, just put my site up". In that case, inMotion Hosting and VeeroTech are two I've heard good things about, but shared hosting…
  • Whee, first annual Gaudiguchian raffle has happened! Congrats to the three intended winners, and the two other winners we gave credits to because drawing from this thing is fun. Special thanks to Yomoigu and Crumkane and Mysrai (not sure who all wor…
  • (Quote) I wasn't saying it didn't affect ascension. It did somewhat. I was saying 'this has nothing to do with anything, why are you bringing it into the conversation?'

    As in it's a useless, non-productive point to make that has nothing…
  • @Lerad: I don't see any contractiction in the above, though I do realise my personal syntax is a bit strange. The Council decision to not support any individua…
  • @Maligorn: Except it wasn't illegal at the time they did it. It took Glomdoring 3 IG years, one RL month, to bother considering it a crime and enemying thos…
  • (Quote) ... Oh. I feel stupid now.

    Sorry!

    And yeah, no, the treaty wasn't forced on us at all. When it was signed, it was strategically ideal and more of a 'why the hell not' thing.
  • (Quote) Yeah, this is... You were in those meetings for a good three RL months. Most of the discussion that took place was meetings between myself and various Glomdorians, and relaying that back to the Council. The issue was, entirely, Glom enemyi…
  • Yeah, as Shuyin said, a single group will all go into a single backreference as a string, which you can match against another string with == (or ~= or any various number of things really). Beyond that, your code is completely correct.
