What's What!

Welcome to What's What! A web-based recognition programme for the hard work your creators put into this MUD each and every day! In here, you can find a list of your favourite (and not so favourite) creators, and a list of the projects they have been involved with that are either in playtesting (thus, all but completed), limbo (completed but not in the game for whatever reason), or in play (you've been there, done that).

The creators and projects on this page should not be considered exhaustive... this is still a work in progress. If there is a creator you'd like to know more about missing, then ask them... remember, however, that the What's What is a voluntary endeavour. Don't feel offended if they wish to bow out of it.

Have fnu!

Description of the Updating Escaped Spells project

This project involves updating the escaped energies that are generated when people fail to remember spells from scrolls.

The idea is spell energies are captured in bottles, effectively storing their energy. The energy can then be subsequently released by adding it to the power of a spell, or simply as a required component of some spells.

Plans

They were very deadly, but never attacked, so are were effectively harmless. Fixed this.

Make them more consistant with energy, so normal attacks dont harm them. Instead allow them to be captured in bottles with butterfly nets. (I imagine this like the BFG capturing dreams :P)done

Allow them to absorb energy from spells fired at them, which also makes them tougher done

Make their generation more random for failing newbies, and also as a rare spell failure for oldbies.

To be captured in bottles (Klein bottles of course! :) with butterfly nets, and then used as an energy source or component in future spells.
