Both gorgeously curvy, feminine and real.

Mine comes from My Best Friend's Wedding, a quote that stuck:

J : But that doesn't excuse any of it. I'm pond scum. Well, lower actually. I'm like the - the fungus that feeds on pond scum.

M: Lower. The pus that infects the mucus... that cruds up the fungus... that feeds on the pond scum.

Whenever a new game opens, there's that enthusiastic rush of players and applications. But two weeks or a month in, and a lot of those characters stop logging in when the game doesn't meet their personal expectations. Then you have the alt-aholic players with a fistful of characters on several games that bound like enthusiastic puppies to get characters in every sphere possible and play a game 24/7 until burn out sets in and they're off to the next new thing.

My guess is it won't be long before the game's mage sphere is accepting new apps.

It seems that the server is having a small hiccup this morning. Hopefully the game won't be down for too long.

And since I'm here, thank you to all the players that made last night's rescue mission such an amazing scene. You people are awesome, and Eisheth's a beast.

ETA: Back up again.

@tinuviel I respectfully butt out.

@tinuviel I usually say what I really think. A great mistake nowadays. It makes one so liable to be misunderstood.”

@tinuviel If you want to TS, go forth and TS. If you don't, don't. It's not rocket science.

Let's talk about TS? Let's not.

@Bristled-Thistle I had Fen (CB) on The Reach that was part of Salvatore's art community, and Rue (Gangrel) that bumped into a Jagger a couple of times. You may or may not remember the characters.

@roz Yes. Obviously you could get into real IC trouble, so it was up to the player to use their imagination to make it plausible. There were also actions like kiss, goose, murder, embarrass etc.

I liked the fate cards system on Firan. You'd have an action and character and you'd have to hunt the character down and perform that action. It got people involved and created a lot of fun RP. I remember things like:

Draw on...<character>
Kidnap... <character>
Hypnotize <character>

Anyway, I thought it a lot of fun. There was also a means of running the code so it'd only choose characters that were online at the time for immediate sceneage.

14th March is also Einstein's birthday. Uncanny.

Perhaps the saddest of all losses. Now all the mysteries of the universe he spent his life understanding will be unfolded for him. Rest in peace, Professor Hawking.

Update so double post: @mercutio 's solution worked. It was adding LANG=en_US.ISO8559-1 that did the trick. Thank you again.

@mercutio Thank you so much. Will try these!

A friend and I are working on a game that's using the latest version of PennMUSH (Pennmush 1.8.6.p2) and we're wondering if the use of accents is possible; é, ó, è, î etc. etc. (Not regional accents!)

Can someone point us in the direction of how to do this/where to find the information if it's possible? Or is this something not supported by the codebase.

Thank you.

I managed to find this option when the gif thread exploded on these boards. My poor laptop couldn't cope and would grind to a halt trying to load the images.

I wasn't sure where the game would go when the monsters were beaten. Would the island continue floating around forever? What then? Or would the characters always be fighting monsters?
