(Sun Jun 16 22:47:33 2002) Yady: Bastet, Garou, Gurahl, Moloke are all from
White Wolf roleplaying games
(Sun Jun 16 22:48:10 2002) Pam: Yeah. Mishtar and Lonewolf didn't mind
stealing at all ;)
(Sun Jun 16 22:48:16 2002) Yady: they're were-cats, wolves, bears and
dinosaurs
(Sun Jun 16 22:48:43 2002) Pam: We had mokole, too.
(Sun Jun 16 22:49:35 2002) Yady: and you used to have Rokea, right?
(Sun Jun 16 22:49:46 2002) Pam: The shark one?
(Sun Jun 16 22:49:48 2002) Pam: yeah
(Sun Jun 16 22:50:09 2002) Aeneas: dinosaurs?
(Sun Jun 16 22:50:13 2002) Pam: Oh, we still have mokole. Rokea was the one we
took out.
(Sun Jun 16 22:50:17 2002) Aeneas: $N doesn't even want to know.
(Sun Jun 16 22:50:36 2002) Aeneas: can I petition to prune the race tree a
bit?
(Sun Jun 16 22:50:51 2002) Aeneas: $N can write it up all nice-like ;)
(Sun Jun 16 22:51:33 2002) Pam: I'd like to keep kender, if we must get rid of
the others.
(Sun Jun 16 22:52:19 2002) Aeneas: I don't care what the remaining one's name
is, as long as they're merged ;)
(Sun Jun 16 22:52:46 2002) Pam: You can write a proposal to Vash, if you like.
(Sun Jun 16 22:53:21 2002) Yady: $N would propose discussing with Malachi
first - he has ideas on it
(Sun Jun 16 22:53:43 2002) Yady: only he was away while he had them :)
(Sun Jun 16 22:53:55 2002) Pam: $N will make sure all active coders have a
part in the discussion.
(Sun Jun 16 22:54:39 2002) Letta: $N can put her part in now;
%^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^do what you like, I'm only using humans at this point in
time. :)
(Sun Jun 16 22:55:02 2002) Aeneas: $N smiles
(Sun Jun 16 22:55:20 2002) Aeneas: $N will write down what his ideas, and
discuss them with Malachi too.
(Sun Jun 16 22:56:05 2002) Yady: $N would like to discuss along, as she is
working on a town inhabited by hobbits and faeries...
(Sun Jun 16 22:56:54 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^oh good point, I should
check my list of races I'll be using in Canadia%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 22:58:35 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^altani, avianni, bastet,
ent, garou, gurahl, korli, and wood elf.. any of those on your block
Aeneas?%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 22:59:35 2002) Aeneas: $N checks
(Sun Jun 16 22:59:49 2002) Aeneas: let me check what korli is... the rest I
have no quarrel with
(Sun Jun 16 23:00:03 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^squirrels%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:00:09 2002) Aeneas: ah... no, I suppose they're fine.
(Sun Jun 16 23:01:00 2002) Cymric: ty morgen superheet en wat gebeurt er? Ik
moet werken :(
(Sun Jun 16 23:01:06 2002) Cymric: oopsie
(Sun Jun 16 23:01:16 2002) Aeneas: wants to 1) eliminate repeats - ie,
halfling/kender/hobbit division and 2) eliminate the ones that are a bit
obscure - such as mokole, klingon and possibly nuckalavee
(Sun Jun 16 23:01:21 2002) Cymric: $N is glad noone else except the addressee
is able to read that
(Sun Jun 16 23:01:30 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^not mokole!%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:01:49 2002) Aeneas: wait... not mokole, the dinosaur one
(Sun Jun 16 23:01:59 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^not my suanmi
beauties!%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:02:16 2002) Aeneas: $N blinks
(Sun Jun 16 23:02:18 2002) Aeneas: $N is confused.
(Sun Jun 16 23:02:20 2002) Pam: We don't have a dinosaur one, except suanmi,
and they're a remote relation.
(Sun Jun 16 23:02:23 2002) Aeneas: isn't suanmi dragon?
(Sun Jun 16 23:02:39 2002) Cymric: what is the criterion for keeping a race in
the game/
(Sun Jun 16 23:02:41 2002) Aeneas: ok, scratch that then.
(Sun Jun 16 23:02:43 2002) Pam: Yeah, sorry. Doing four things at once now.
(Sun Jun 16 23:02:54 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^and you can't get rid of
Klingon, there'd be no Crowley%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:02:54 2002) Pam: But we don't have dinosaurs, only alligators.
(Sun Jun 16 23:03:03 2002) Pam: We're going to get rid of Klingon.
(Sun Jun 16 23:03:03 2002) Yady: $N giggles at Cymric.
(Sun Jun 16 23:03:07 2002) Aeneas: well, I want to eliminate repeats, and make
the race tree a bit more logical ;)
(Sun Jun 16 23:03:13 2002) Pam: That's been decided.
(Sun Jun 16 23:03:15 2002) Aeneas: and our universe is definitely not Star
Trek ;)
/log/channel/noble (1-49 36%): 
(Sun Jun 16 23:03:19 2002) Pam: Amen!
(Sun Jun 16 23:03:43 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^ok klingons out, combining
hobbit/halfling/kender perhaps.. what else?%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:03:55 2002) Aeneas: ah, and maybe take out gully dwarves - move
them to be an npc-only race perhaps.
(Sun Jun 16 23:04:05 2002) Yady: that's how far Malachi got...
(Sun Jun 16 23:04:07 2002) Letta: $N thought they already were
(Sun Jun 16 23:04:22 2002) Cymric: so this is just reshuffling? Not making
races truly different?
(Sun Jun 16 23:04:22 2002) Aeneas: nope, they're listed in the main dwarf
listing
(Sun Jun 16 23:04:28 2002) Pam: No, they're a player race.
(Sun Jun 16 23:04:28 2002) Aeneas: $N shrugs at Cymric
(Sun Jun 16 23:04:37 2002) Pam: Let's see how popular they are, though, first
(Sun Jun 16 23:04:39 2002) Aeneas: I also want to modify a bunch of language
names
(Sun Jun 16 23:04:49 2002) Pam: We're taking out languages altogether.
(Sun Jun 16 23:04:57 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^you can combine panda and
(Sun Jun 16 23:04:59 2002) Aeneas: but why, did you have any ideas, Cymric?
(Sun Jun 16 23:05:09 2002) Pam: There's not a panda, Letta.
(Sun Jun 16 23:05:17 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^help races%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:05:26 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^there's bjora, panda and
talking panda%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:05:42 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^oh i guess bjora aren't
pandas%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:05:50 2002) Aeneas: $N nods
(Sun Jun 16 23:05:52 2002) Pam: It shows 'sub-race: talking'
(Sun Jun 16 23:06:17 2002) Aeneas: well, we don't really need sub-race, since
talking panda is the only kind we have ;)
(Sun Jun 16 23:06:19 2002) Cymric: well, I have *ideas* but whether they're
practical or feasible remains to be seen as I have very little gaming
experience.
(Sun Jun 16 23:06:31 2002) Cymric: I think I'd better keep them to myself.
(Sun Jun 16 23:06:33 2002) Aeneas: $N ponders at Pam.
(Sun Jun 16 23:06:35 2002) Pam: That's because 'panda' has its own directory,
which is silly.
(Sun Jun 16 23:06:59 2002) Aeneas: anyway, the languages are going to be taken
out of the race-files as well
(Sun Jun 16 23:07:02 2002) Aeneas: ?
(Sun Jun 16 23:07:04 2002) Pam: $N nods.
(Sun Jun 16 23:07:10 2002) Pam: Out of everything.
(Sun Jun 16 23:07:12 2002) Aeneas: dang.
(Sun Jun 16 23:07:20 2002) Aeneas: $N had such a pretty idea for engravings
too.
(Sun Jun 16 23:07:38 2002) Aeneas: ah well, I suppose it makes my life only
easier.
(Sun Jun 16 23:07:44 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^that it does my
pet%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:08:24 2002) Aeneas: ok, what about Ogre and Giant races, are
those distinct enough in your opinion to keep them separate?
(Sun Jun 16 23:11:46 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^ogres and giants are two
completely seperate things%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:17:16 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^thin necked or
thin-necked?%^RESET%^

(Sun Jun 16 23:25:06 2002) Letta: $N ponders.. %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^anyone
suggest a better way to say long huge gulp?
(Sun Jun 16 23:27:46 2002) Aeneas: er, see flap ;)
(Sun Jun 16 23:28:04 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^better than long huge
gulp.. it just sounds wrong%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:28:44 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^nm Tab gave me
one%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:28:58 2002) Aeneas: to drain in a single draught?
(Sun Jun 16 23:29:24 2002) Aeneas: swig?
(Sun Jun 16 23:29:26 2002) Aeneas: $N grins
(Sun Jun 16 23:31:08 2002) Aeneas: hey Pam, are you still there?
(Sun Jun 16 23:33:20 2002) Pam: sorta kinda
(Sun Jun 16 23:34:16 2002) Aeneas: ok, is there any objection to also removing
minotaur from race list (imho, minotaur is more of a mad-wizard creation than
a naturally-occuring race).
/log/channel/noble (50-98 74%): 
(Sun Jun 16 23:34:34 2002) Aeneas: ditto for nuckalavee
(Sun Jun 16 23:36:28 2002) Yady: Hm, is a mad-wizard creation an invalid way
for a race to come into existance?
(Sun Jun 16 23:37:20 2002) Pam: I think minotaur should stay.
(Sun Jun 16 23:37:32 2002) Pam: Suanmi is magically created, too
(Sun Jun 16 23:38:00 2002) Aeneas: yeah. If a wise wizard creates a race, he
ensures that the race is physically viable for survival. A mad wizard will
create a race without a care for its survival qualities (I mean, do you really
think a race with a head that weighs half-again as much as their body will
fare well?)
(Sun Jun 16 23:38:22 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^any way to make yourself
thirsty again? (I like this wine way too much obviously ;) )%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:38:26 2002) Aeneas: $N shrugs at Pam. All right ;)
(Sun Jun 16 23:38:48 2002) Aeneas: hey Pam, how about merging klar and duergar
dwarves then, and removing gully dwarf?
(Sun Jun 16 23:38:54 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^mn, that's what the test
char is for ;)%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:39:14 2002) Pam: We can't remove anything till Vash checks to
see how popular they are with players.
(Sun Jun 16 23:39:30 2002) Aeneas: yes. I'm not talking about removing them
this instant, I'm talking conceptually.
(Sun Jun 16 23:39:42 2002) Aeneas: I'm asking your opinion, you see.
(Sun Jun 16 23:39:46 2002) Advtech: How about merging, duergar dwarves,
arrendis, minotaurs, Aeneas, and Letta, laughing, then removing them all?
(Sun Jun 16 23:39:56 2002) Aeneas: $N is a bastet, thanks ;)
(Sun Jun 16 23:40:00 2002) Letta: %^BOLD%^%^YELLOW%^HEY!%^RESET%^
(Sun Jun 16 23:40:18 2002) Pam: I think dwarf types and minotaurs will wind up
staying

well for me. :-)
(Sun Jun 16 23:40:56 2002) Aeneas: mm, k.

(Mon Jun 17 00:12:46 2002) Yady: you can always make an alias :)
(Mon Jun 17 00:12:54 2002) Aeneas: mm, race languages done... now, description
of the alphabet for each one... that's going to be funky.
(Mon Jun 17 00:13:14 2002) Aeneas: $N counts.
(Mon Jun 17 00:13:18 2002) Advtech: I don't run the Lima mud anymore, so ..
*shrug*
(Mon Jun 17 00:13:28 2002) Aeneas: 26 alphabets. whee.
