  Ordius Speaks (7/6/00)
Howdy! I've been busy in the game, and with other postings on the
web site, so as to not have time to rant! Well, now that the servers
are down, here goes:

1) Banderling Thrashers and Enforcers: These guys give incredible
loot, especially the Thrashers! Level V-VI jewlerly, armor, wands,
equipment--you name it, they drop it. They break down as follows:

THRASHERS: They don't cast magic, and attack with either Bludgeon or
Cold. They hit relatively hard, and have 500 hp--but they are
susceptable to magic--A life skill of 240 and a war of 225-230 will
be enough to drain them down to 70-80, and then finish them with a
single lightning bolt. They drop better loot than...

ENFORCERS: They cast magic, but don't hit hard. Debuffs are all at
level V and VI, and include Imperil, Cold Vuln, Clumsiness, Weakness,
and Slowness. They don't debuff magic skills, which is a big plus.
However, they have a very high magic defense, and cast level IV-VI
frost bolts. Drain their mana if you are a mage--or just beat them
to death if you are a warrior.

2) The Scavenger Hunt: Sunday is the day of judging, the day of
judging is Sunday. Is anyone doing this contest? Please let me know
if you've been Scavenging.

3) Prospective Vassals Process: The process needs to be
overhauled. It's not any one particular person's fault that the
system is broken, but it is. I find it particularly amusing that
Druss is talking about Boreal leading the Source (in his article)
when it's taken her a MONTH to become pledged to me, and technically
she STILL isn't a source member! I think that for a game/group of us
here, the process for getting people into the Source is a little
arduous, and might be streamlined by either:

A) Having less people who need to vote on the matter;
B) Foregoing the 'outing' in favor of just spending time with said
prospective vassal, or
C) Flipping a coin when faced with a choice of accepting or
declining a vassal.

4) I'm still giving away equipment! Getcher red hot equipment!

5) Miko has been looking for a Bright GREEN Celdon Girth and Bright
GREEN Kabuton for a while now--If anyone comes across either, please
give it to the guy already! He obviously needs to blend in with
Kermit or algae or something...

6) Boreal will be my vassal as of tonight, we're holding a
coronation at the Obsidian span. We don't know when, but anyone is
welcome to give us a tell in-game and get invited--it should be
between eight and nine pm Eastern time.

7) PLEASE VOTE ON THE FUTURE OF THE SOURCE MONARCHY! Only 20 people
have voted so far, and there are 96 Vassals under Druss right now.
This is IMPORTANT, because if you don't vote, you might find:

A) You suddenly have a monarch who isn't Druss, and start wondering
WHEN this was decided, or
B) You might have Druss as a Monarch, and wonder what ever happened
to dethroning the damn lunatic!

Which option did I vote for? I'm not telling, but I do feel it is
important for everyone to voice their opinions.

That's all for now, have a good day!

Ordius
