Security Sunglasses Slashed, posted on Sat Feb 13 00:49:01 2010

Crazy Samedi's Discount Gooning has followed the Gumboni family's lead, and reduced

their sunglasses budget. They would like to assure customers (including the Genua

Casino) that although you may sometimes see the eyes of their goons, this does not

detract from the overall utility of their goonery.

For tax purposes, Genua's Madame Delight is now trading as Madame Demain-Matin.

Hired Goons Going Cheap, posted on Thu Feb 11 22:34:31 2010

Due to budget constraints, our hired goons are having to wear cheaper

sunglasses these days. Furthermore, we don't have enough to go around,

so we ask that you show some courtesy and don't look into the eyes of

those guards without glasses.

Signed,

The Gumboni Family

Leaders in contusion-based public relations

For all your gooning needs.

Skade has recently implemented the 'afk' command. Not only can you

inform people who talk you you of your afk status, you can also

write a custom message for their amusement.

As hinted in my last post, there is a Second Phase to the changes. New

players no longer have to play for 30 minutes before saving. This is to

work around abusable bugs.

Cheers,

Weight Watching, posted on Mon Jun 1 16:07:20 2009

The weight of _new_ players is no longer random. All new players will

begin with a weight of 80 kilos. Rearranging will affect this in the

usual way.

This change was made to remove the incentive to create a swarm of throw-away

characters, searching for a high initial number of hitpoints. Without such

swarms, we can make some other changes that we need to make to close some

abusable loopholes.

Cheers,

Some kinds of makeup were not being properly washed off by water. Now they

are.

Withdrawal Symptoms, posted on Mon Apr 27 02:30:28 2009

It is now possible to specify denominations when you withdraw money from banks. This may not appear in every bank until the next reboot. The new syntax is

withdraw <amount> in <denomination>

so you could type

>withdraw 2 forins in livres

and get livres rather than forins. Note that this only works within currency regions: you can't use

> withdraw 2 forins in dollars

to bypass the money changers.

This change was requested by Hagi. May his camels never run dry.

So! Domain blogs, eh? Looks like the web 2.0 bolloc^H^H^H^H^H^H fad is spreading. Still, since this forum is here, we might as well make use of it.

In that vein: Greetings from the Forn domain! I haven't decided on exactly what will be posted here, but I figured it would be good to start with an overview of what's happening. For various reasons, I'm not going into details - not least because they're subject to change. However, the broad brush strokes are as follows:

Forn is currently ...
