Cloud Differentiation, posted on Fri Jun 26 09:39:57 2020

You can now refer to a Fyodor's Nimbus of Porterage cloud as "nimbus" and "carrier". Things like "look at my nimbus" or "look at my carrier cloud" will now work.

N.B. Any clouds summoned before this blog will not have been updated.

Mocking can be a hit or miss affair sometimes, so I've added in some hints to help out. Witches may now mull over their targets' shortcomings with additional eye-ings. This will show the witch where they might best apply some verbal jabs.

Enjoy!

Options Combat Attack_on_theft=on, posted on Tue Jun 16 16:05:37 2020

There is now an option (options combat attack_on_theft =on/off) that lets you automatically attack when someone tries to steal from you.

This means that you can use this option to automatically attack when something fails to steal/filch from you. The option will make you always attack someone who snatches (whether or not they succeed).

Klein bottles no longer break when attacking unarmed since you can't attack with them at all. This should make them less annoying to use when harvesting components or casting NES in combat.

You may need to su to update any bottles already in your possession.

All assassins may now "check" the status of their specialisation's inhumation fund in its private and public inhumation offices. Specialisation admin will also find similar facilities at their disposal in their offices.

Need A Hand?, posted on Mon Dec 9 15:20:22 2019

This bugfix weekend saw a number of fixes to the spells Booch's Extremal Polymorphism and Yordon's Extremal Extension. Most notably:

* Your left and right hands don't swap anymore.

* Objects now remain held in the same hands (where possible) when you gain or lose arms.

* Two-handed objects that are held in two hands are not dropped if you lose one of those arms.

* When your arms are back to normal, you will now be holding the correct things.

If you had extra arms before these fixes you may ...

A Hint Regarding Custom Samurai Weapons., posted on Wed Oct 9 14:15:59 2019

There is one new variant of each weapon that Bending Reed offers.

For a hint as to what patterns to try, I suggest you look at the title of the previous post :)

Storms Explode On High // As Rivers Bloom And Beasts Climb // Hidden By Bamboo., posted on Sun Oct 6 14:53:30 2019

Wan Bending Reed, the master weaponsmith in the Samurai Dojo in Bes Pelargic, has taken delivery of some bamboo and is now willing to incorporate this exciting new material into his creations.

Less Limited Inhumations, posted on Fri Sep 27 19:47:14 2019
Posted by: Aristophanes
Category: Guilds
Assassins of every specialisation used to only be able to close NPC contracts four times.

They can now close NPC contracts four times every eight months or so.

The practical result of this is that every assassin can now close any and all NPC contracts four more times. They will then have to wait a while before they can repeat them.

Assassins may therefore find some of the inhumation achievements easier to complete.

Ciao!

Hey! Where Do You Think You're Going?, posted on Tue Jul 9 19:51:31 2019

Thieves (though not necessarily in the guild of the same name) will find that using unsophisticated means to procure their illicit gains are no longer guaranteed a speedy escape.

If you use snatch, you now stand a chance of having your carefully planned exit plan foiled. With enough skill you can improve your odds.

This affects both players and NPCs.

Enjoy/Beware!
