Hi again readers! As you might have noticed, i have had some problems getting this issue together. My time and my motivation has been the reasons, but thanks to a lot of nice guys around this place that have been giving me reasons to continue, there is now a Febrary issue available of the NannyMUD Times. As i stated my time available to finish this issue has been slightly low so this issue will not be as packed with stories and features as the last ones. Things that have been left out is the things that takes the most time to finish such as the interview, special features such as the questguide. Hopefully there will be more time available to bring that back to the next issue. Ok, apart from that. This issue is still a rocking one. After all the possitive comments about the last issues christmas gifts section, we bring you in this issue a similar list. A peek into the crystal ball of 'Things that will and wont happen in 1997'. As you might remember there has been a new year since the last issue. More, we decide whos the best playerkiller last month. We give you the up-to-date rumors about persons and happenings around this mud. We also have a player question for this issue. /Le'Clerk - Main editor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- leclerk@nannymud lick.me@plea.se (yes, this IS my email adress) Jonas Sjoberg Pl 1412 694 00 Hallsberg Sweden /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ ///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\ /////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\\\ > ---------------------- The NannyMUD Times --------------------- page 3 --- \\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///// \\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// The unofficial NannyMUD theme.

So i do, i generally dont like to publish logs, but i do it when people send them to me. This one i have not really read thru but i think it is something about Anonymous whining about how much he really wants to be a member of the proud Knights. Among with the other proud Knights, Maelstorm, Silencer and Neill. Here goes: ========== Rhuarc shouts: Beldin tells you: You suck. <22:32> Rhuarc shouts: Why is that Beldin? Earendil shouts: Rhuarc shouts: Beldin tells you: You suck. <22:32> Beldin shouts: because you take offensive tells personally. Chani shouts: it could be a proposal ?

Predictions for the coming year - We put on our turban and gaze into the crystal ball and concentrate - images form... ============================================= There will be a rash of promotions as Nanny struggles to provide Nymph with a fresh crop of admin. A Romanian player will be caught multi-playing. Panic will code a new quest. The Druid's guild will be nearly completed. We'll see a parade of admin who are promoted and then retire. Shy, soft-spoken Roland will be removed from the game once again due to a government conspiracy to prevent free thinking Americans from expressing their views. (This has infact already happened.) Andromeda will continue to code her temple. We'll all be jealous. Venuss will write a note on one of the boards that no one can understand. Rhuarc will die 2 times and ask Brom for removal of all his other characters, but then start playing up to rank 70 in Khorne again just to die the second time. Vincent will open the 'Make a hot dog from scratch' quest. Panic will ask others to code for his mud. Dwinbar and Titleist will not say anything of intrest this year either. Beldin will start to recode Damned from scratch once again. Lepers will open and suddenly close when all the wc1500 weapons are offered on Trade line. Pain will yawn. Eddy will become the new dictator in the knights after Silencer. Eolair will grow up. Snafu will lick someone with a bonecrushing sound. Cathbad will grow a ponytail. Leclerk will delay the NannyMUD Times release date. Mats will leave NannyMUD and open up a new mud called 'I am god, please me' Neill will get banished from knights. Marielle will talk about love. Roland will start a new 'waco' back in detroit, after 20 days he will rush out screaming 'I know you all are sleeping with my girlfriend' shooting with his spud-gun at the fbi-tanks. Brom will make 300 new rooms between mainland and his area, just to get higher up on the wizlist. Dwinbar will get naked on a mudparty. Mordor will acuse the admin for making the wrong decisions. Banshee will rename her quest 'Anthill', 'Pethill'. /Happy new year, Sister V and friends. /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ ///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\ /////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\\\ Title: Re: The NannyMUD Times issue 1997 February.

If you read the help file on rules you will get this up on your screen: This is the set of rules that applies to mortals at NannyMUD. You are expected to know and follow those, and to look for updates. - One thing here, it dosn't give out what the punishment for breaking these rules are? # Don't abuse bugs. If you find a serious bug please report it to a # high wizard or the responsible wizard, if you know who # it is. If you do this, the game will become less bug ridden and more *Press return for more or q to end. >** HP: 223/238 SP: 170/238 ** HP: 223/238 SP: 177/238 # enjoyable. Use the command 'bug' to report them, 'help bugs' for # list of what is considered a bug, and 'help bug' for help on the # command itself. - This I do agree with but what to do when you report a bug and the wizards don't do anything about it, just wondering? # If you have chosen an obnoxious or offensive name you might be given # the option to change it to something acceptable. - Seams resonoble, we would'nt want any chars named Hitler or Blowme. # If another player asks you to leave him/her/it alone, you must # respect their wishes. Harassment is not looked upon lightly. Do not # annoy anyone by sending control-characters that beeps or messes up the screen. - Hmm. # Your character is personal, and must not be used by others in any # way or form. Protect your password! If someone cracks it, you will # still be held responsible for your characters actions. *Press return for more or q to end. > - True, if you can't held on to your own password, suit yourselfe. note: that is if you let someone see you typing it or letting a note with it on laying around, hackers really sux. # You are not to have multiple characters logged on to the game at the # same time. Linkdead is counted as logged on. - Good one, but what happens if you by misstake go linkdead and log on another char, one warning before demotion would be nice. # Don't use a client to play the game for you. If you are leaving the # terminal for so long that you risk idling out, log off instead. - Don't get this one, why would you wan't to do that. # Do not destroy quests for others. An example of this would be # someone taking/destroying quest items, just to stop someone else # from solving a quest. - Total agreement, one fun thing tough is pk:s hunting other questing pk:s and demanding money from them for letting them keep on questing and not kill them. Another thing that don't stand typed in the rules file are polling to get in to the game, a friend got cought doing this and I just have one thing to say, who the hell came up with that. note: I DO NOT WITH THIS ARTICLE, I REPEAT NOT, TRY TO GET PLAYERS TO BREAK THE RULES, IF SOMEONE DOES THIS DON'T BLAME ME FOR IT, THIS IS JUST MY OWN PERSONAL THOUGTS. @Nefandus the high druid /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ ///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\ /////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\\\ ---------------------- The NannyMUD Times --------------------- page 8 --- \\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///// \\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// The playerkill of the month! This is a new feature we included in the Times to promote playerkilling. If you done a kill you are satisfied with and you think its quite a outstanding one. Please mail it to 'leclerk' or use the gossip report command to report it. If you have a log of it, it will just be better then we can show people how flappy your opponent where. The playerkill of last month goes to: Skrog. Reason: He was the first player to kill the evil playerkiller Fatwah. This is a extraordinary effort which hopefully will lead the way for others to realize that noone is unkillable. Congratulations Skrog, and may you score more kills in the future. Unfortunately there is no log of the incident, but the kill has been noted in the logs so it is for real. /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ /\\\\\ ///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\ /////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\\\ Title: Re: The NannyMUD Times issue 1997 February.

\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///\\\\\///// \\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\/////\\\///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// \///// Aunt O's gossip column. ======================= Demotions: ========== January 8th, Roland was once again demoted coz he showed lack of intelligence. Btw, as a extra special for you readers we can show you an exclusive quote from Roland that proves his low intelligence. Roland quote [tm]: Most people are unaware that they have a subconcious philosophy. Well, Roland. Subconcious this demotion in peace, if you are aware of it that is. January 15th, Poor Braveheart just wanted to be nice and got falsely punished. He noticed that his poor secondchar Fate lacked 40.000 experience points. Helpful as he was he gave his second those points with his nice wizard. Then the evil evil EVIL Brom walks in and gives him a ride back to level1. Thats what you get for being nice. February 6th, The knowledged and experienced wizard Microbe (no, not wannabe, Microbe) felt that he lacked some knowledge of the mud. He thought he walk around with his wizard in the areas and peeking at the monsters. I mean, thats the easiest way to find out which monster is tough and which monster isnt, right? But while doing this Broms heartless wife Banshee decides that the best way of giving Microbe knowledge about the mud is to let him start all over again. Hence, level 1 for the poor Microbe. Promotions: =========== Titleist was promoted to highwizard, this promotion is easy to understand. Titleist will fit in together with Dwinbar as the regular highwizard slave. They are known as persons who likes to take orders without asking questions. Just the type Brom needs for his mud. Vincent was promoted to highwizard. Vincent is not as quiet and laidback as his fellow highwizard Titleist. Infact, after a couple of days in his new position he wanted to test his new won powers. So, he started to make up his own rules about what players are supposed to do. This resulted in him destructing players in the game. We recognize this behaviour from Brom and Qqqq. So our bet is that the next archwizard is going to be called Vincent. Xantrax was promoted to exalted wizard. Kiki was promoted to honorable wizard. Demotions and promotions: ========================= [Part removed here. The person in question begged me to remove it, and so i did. Instead i put in some quotes from an anonymous admin.] You say: you would like to become the next brom and qqqq You say: i know from the first time i noticed you on nanny ? says: nod, I'm a chameleon. ? says: I knew I wanted power. ? says: I didn't think I'd get it in the admins. ? says: So I kissed Plaque's ass until I was his trusted lietenant. ? says: But then he went and got the admins to hate him. ? says: And I knew I'd never have any real power. ? says: So I took over plaque's work here and started working on the admins. ? says: I ingratiated myself to Brom in particular. ? says: Made myself useful, ratted out on a few cheaters, told him a few bs bugs that I'd known for years. ? says: Did some cool coding, made myself generally useful. ? says: Until finally the admins trusted me not to abuse my power. Resignments: ============ The active and helpfull wizards Bive and Restless resigned from their duties as highwizards. Sources tells us that they will not stop their extraordinary good work for the mud, but they now will keep on working for the mud as regular retired wizards. For the mud this was a sad day, much things we know of today we are all to thank Bive and Restless for. So, we are sure we speak for a lot of players when we say this: Thanks for all the nice job you put down, keep it up, Bive del Koth and Restless del Koth. Reported gossips: ================= Venuss had been working on Hamburger quest for hours a day for over 2 weeks and is ready to kill Vincent with a rusty spoon in frustration, but refuses to give up. What determination! This was overheard from the Gent's line: [$] Mym: hmm- Andromeda's bedroom? [$] Wrath: ha! as much trafic there as ion Ingis lane Kornelia doesn't have a younger sister, but she says she wouldn't mind giving one of her elder sisters to Mordor. Banshee is rumoured to be quite irritated at the fact that people are actually solving her Ant Hill quest. This, coupled with the fact that Brom is getting all of the good demotes has led her to make a few changes. The quest is now slightly harder, so instead of being mostly impossible, it is now entirely impossible. Currently, the only way to solve it is to cheat. Anyone solving the quest will therefore be summarily demoted. What about all the divorces? Aren't those logged, too? We need to compare the marrage vs. divorce rate on Nanny!! Kherec spent almost an hour killing Worker, during the battle he spend 25k on healing. after the battle he said: A great battle! A note on the ground: It's a note for Fritz. It says: Hi hon! I miss you sooo much! Come and marry me. Eternal love, Tremere the horny... //Tremere Rumours says that Dewyn got a sweet little kiss from Leclerk when meeting him in rl. Rumours also said that Dewyn was so excited he could not sleep for 2 entire days! Someone reported this: ====================== Khadgar tells you: det enda hon sa så här rakt ut var att hon tyckte: Kornelia tells you: Darkwinged var jävligt snygg, jag ångrar mig inte att jag gifte mig med honom istället för Dreddknight, ja. jag skulle gärna vilja träffa honom i RL igen' [Translated... Khadgar tells you: the only thing she said straight out was: Kornelia tells you: Darkwinged was so damn cute, i regret that i did not marry him instead of Dreadnight, yes. I would like to meet him again in real life. ] (We showed this to Kornelia and she claims that she never said anything like that. Which makes us think that Khadgar is the biggest flap we know of at the moment.) Someone gave us this detailed research that Mats is multiplaying: ================================================================= >Finger Mats Mats the Creator (elder god) He is the almighty god (beware of his wrath). He is logged on right now and has been so for 9 hours 55 minutes 30 seconds. >Finger Matsjr Matsjr the old bear shaman (testing) He is a puny mortal. He is logged on right now and has been so for 10 minutes 21 seconds. >You told Matsjr: I have some evidence that you are multiplaying... Matsjr tells you: Of course I am >You told Matsjr: Oh. Ok. SInce you run the place, I'll let you off with a warning. Matsjr tells you: Thanks, you really nice *Press return for more or q to end. > Someone wanted us to publish this: ================================== Guest says: How do I stop the screen from scrolling? You say: type 'quit' Guest left the game. Guest enters the game. Guest tells you: That wasn't especially nice of you. Award: ====== In the competition, Fastest shoutcurse this month.
