The Darling Bugs Of May, Part 2, posted on Wed May 10 12:07:37 2023 | Posted by: Kadath | Category: General | Here's the latest batch of updates, tweaks and fixes from your lovely creator team:
- Playershop greeter imps have finally learned how to speak Brindisian, Dwarfish and Klatchian. (If yours is not co-operating, please ask a liaison to update the room, or wait for the next reboot.)
- The output of the temperature command has been clarified, removing the need to wonder (or argue about) whether "a lot of warmth" is more than or less than "quite a lot of warmth".
- The weights of garlic clov...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
Maisey Hits The Road, posted on Fri Apr 7 19:36:11 2023 | Posted by: Evensong | Category: General | Happy that she has made a difference, Maisey has decided to go back out on the road.
She's taken a bunch of Fools Guild admin forms with her so she can train and recruit on her travels and has left details of her tour dates in the reception Office. |
Give A Man A Fire..., posted on Thu Apr 6 22:00:18 2023 | Posted by: Evensong | Category: General | Maisey is most pleased by the lack of fresh corpses around the Fools guild now. As a reward she has made some new items available to those who have shown themselves worthy. |
Well, Colour Me Fiery!, posted on Wed Apr 5 16:49:47 2023 | Posted by: Evensong | Category: General | Maisey Bent has continued to find ways to improve the Fools Guild. Working on suggestions from the Fools she has talked to she has negotiated with the alchemists and has managed to secure some peculiar substances that burn with different colours.
Discworlds elemental forces have also caught up with recent events and wetness and foolish fireballs will now work more realistically together. |
Assay, Assay, Assay!, posted on Tue Apr 4 16:48:53 2023 | Posted by: Evensong | Category: General | Maisey Bent is already complaining about having to tidy away charred corpses of Fools. To avoid this happening so often she has devised a method of determining how powerful a fuel is without having to put it in your mouth and set fire to it.
She has also restricted sales of some of her items to those who have proven they know how to use said items safely[1].
[1] well, wisely[2]
[2] no, sensibly....argh! You know what I mean! |
Fools Fail To Accept That They Are A Joke Guild, posted on Mon Apr 3 22:36:09 2023 | Posted by: Evensong | Category: General | Having heard that the Fools' Guild was a joke, Maisey Bent has taken a break from her travels to see what she can do to help out around the guild.
She has just arrived and doesn't know how best to assist but we're sure that she will find her feet in the next few days.
In the meantime please say hello and make her feel a home. |
Home Decor And Other Animals, posted on Wed Feb 8 18:23:06 2023 | Posted by: Guildenstern | Category: General | * The Djelibeybi real estate receptionist will now explicitly tell blacklisted players that the reason they can't bid is that they've been blacklisted.
* Real estate offices that control leased properties (i.e. shops) now have a notice listing the dates when the leases will end.

Me, I'm Counting, posted on Sat Dec 10 17:56:26 2022 | Posted by: Kake | Category: General | * A bug with the squirming black tentacle has been fixed. You can no longer hold this with any of your limbs (even the normal ones) when under the effects of Booch's Extremal Polymorphism. On the bright side, this means that your tentacle will no longer be eaten by a silent runtime error.
* Playerhouse rooms can now have up to six different types of decoration on the surfaces (floor, ceiling, walls) before the description gets collapsed into "X are multicoloured". (If you have a room that stil...Read The Rest Of This Entry |

* A small number of chicken feathers can now be picked up from among those littering Staff Sergeant Grout Ilbilee's "office" in Lancre.
* Master Gildworthy has been persuaded to tidy up and label his stock better. A stack labelled e.g. "A six-foot riving of birch" will now be birch all the way down, until his assistant changes the stock around.
* In other woodworking news, gingko ri...Read The Rest Of This Entry |
Less Picky Paperwork., posted on Sun Oct 30 13:58:18 2022 | Posted by: Fran | Category: General | I have updated how you can refer to scrolls by the spell they hold. You no longer have to fully specify the spell name and may just use parts of the name.
This fixes a bug that made it impossible to refer to a Cherry Blossoms in Bloom scroll (or A Cup of Tea and Sake scroll if you had options input andascomma=on).
Existing scrolls will only be updated when they next load, so if you have any issues with a scroll you can su with it in your inventory to fix it.
