[edit] Ice Bold

Since no spell Ice Bold is attested, I changed the name to Ice Dart, which does appear in the wiki (and in my inventory). If there really is a spell Ice Bold, it sounds much more interesting than Ice Dart. --Fred Dullard 11:34, 13 March 2006 (PST)

There is Ice Dart and Ice Storm. But Ice Dart isn't very powerful. --Jorm 13:41, 13 March 2006 (PST)

[edit] Tips on hiding

I think hiding in hospitals is risky except perhaps for lower level good-aligned characters. I search there for evil characters and tier-2 characters (or best of all, tier-2 evil characters). Also, I'd like to point out that good-aligned characters may need weapons (Mr. Shooty comes to mind), so the killing in weapon locations is equal opportunity. Same goes for the library, come to think of it. My safety tip: if you're an evil, evil, evil tier-2, sleeping in the library, hidden or visible, is pretty much certain death. --Fred Dullard 02:24, 13 April 2006 (CDT)

Mmmh, I was thinking to a neutral player when i wrote that. Perhaps i should make it for different alignments?--Denzel 05:59, 13 April 2006 (CDT)

[edit] Law and Chaos

Shouldn't the opening paragraphs mention Good and Evil instead of Law and Chaos? - CthulhuFhtagn 20:37, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

I believe that stuff was at one time on the login page for the game. It's silly and not very compelling, and hopefully it's no longer a basis for the game. The "free will" clause is still in there, sadly. How can you choose good or evil without free will? By choosing a path have you somehow given up your free will? Neutrality itself is a far more interesting idea, and some would say more sinister. "When they came for the lab assistants I did nothing, because I was not a lab assistant." And all that. --einexile 14:37, 8 June 2006 (CDT)
