* Track Corpses
* Veiled steps messages
* Weapon types
* Mail check command
* Instant line wrapping for notes
* Crab guards in coral depths
Denied by VC
*Leader note removal
Denied by CoE
*Circle message - The overall feeling
is that this will cause far
more spam then it's worth
especially considering the lag inflicted
on the user.
*Where modification - This was denied
based on lack of realism really
When you look around in a group
you see everyone (hence how where
looks now) change that to when
you're looking for one specific
person in a crowd of people..
you're looking for them eg Where Ceirana
but you won't necessarily find
them. Given this and the fact it's
worked well this way for 8
years this has been denied.

Passed by VC:
*Woodland Harmony/Druids

*Help Alignment change
*Help hitroll/damroll change
*Help Align change
*DH Furniture
*Auction appearance
*Help pk_eq change
*Mystical vision/fighting
*Mistform message
*Pet Keywords
*Mystery box auction
Passed by CoE:
*Mail Check
*Crab Guards race in Coral Depths
*Emit.
Denied by CoE (and reasons):
*Ruination - In our opinion, Clerics are not a fighter class
and there doesn't seem to be enough justification for another attack spell.
*Malediction - There is no way we can put in a max of +7 on a
mob/victims saves. Sav's are the one stat that still has some sanctity in it's
real numbers. Perhaps after some work
this one can be reconsidered but it's entirely too powerful.
*Veiled steps message rewrite - Much the way that hide works
it doesn't make sense to have sucess and fail messages.
*Changing Javelins to missile weapons - Javelins were not
meant to be missile weapons but we do agree that there is a lack of good
missile weapons in the game.
Builders encouraged to add to new areas.
*Scan echo removal - Quite simply we were asked to add this
echo in by the mortal population less then 6 months ago. Unsure why the
change was made so it was denied.
*Kalerd Supplication Rates - When deities first came in and
we found a problem with glitches in helpfiles and miscommunication and
people were given their one shot to
redevote, Kali underwent a project to study the balance between the deities. He
has balanced them
out in several different fields, all
of which are not 'obvious' to the player but important to balance of the game.
As such this has been
denied.

Denied by CoE
Disarm echos - It's easy enough already to check when you are disarmed, this
seems a bit lazy.
Drow alignment/Race message - While it is possible to be a devout drow it is
obviously against the path of their race and it's our feeling that we shouldn't
be making it easier or more pleasant for them as it falls out of logic to do so.
Druids getting woodland harmony - This spell was intended to be rangers only and
wasn't made for druids. It was part of the slist balancing and to give it to
druids would go against that intent.
Help Align change to show what the words mean - We would rather give them a list
of the levels but not exactly what they do.. like help favor_levels
Pet Keywords - This was denied because we don't have locate abilities for mobs
and to design such a function to track down lost pets didn't seem like a good
idea.

*Command to force players to leave a house - They need a key to get in, we
assume you invited them it's like trying to get rid of in-laws.. very realistic.
In all honesty, we just don't see the need for this.
*Config +gag gagging missed attacks of others - This would require massive code
changes to be possible so while it's not a bad idea we just don't have the
resources to devote to something relatively trivial and majorly time consuming
right now.
*Oldscore changes - On average oldscore is used 150 times every 24hrs in
comparison to score which gets used 10,000 times in the same period according to
our stats. This doesn't seem necessary in retrospect.
*Cloak the gathering (vamp skill) - Neat but a little too much for
(right now..note was cut off so I will assume that's the rest of it).

Unholy/holy added to glory rates - We don't see being able to add these

* Evening experience rates for classes - There are indeed class modifiers which
affect the rate experience is gained for each class, however they cannot be
disclosed. Some workings of the game do have to be left a mystery :)

*Note list vote modification
*Make inscribed blade a short blade.
Denied by CoE
*Gith's being allowed to be Fathomers - We don't agree with the statements
made in favor of this and don't believe it's logical to allow Gith's to be
Fathomers.
*Cloak wear loc changes - Not all cloaks have hoods so the argument that this
change will make it more realistic is false. The assumption that all cloaks
cover *all* of the locations listed here seems more unrealistic to us.
*Further cloak covering - Same argument as for wear locations but to add to that
what kind of cloak hides your height??? Sorry this isn't logical either.
*Style indicator for group - This isn't so much denied as we're going to
overhaul the group display completely.
*all.item - According to the code people this is a pain to code and there
doesn't seem to be a whole lot of benefit from it to justify the painful coding
process.
*Apartment save space - Apartments were only ever meant to just be a room
without any frills such as houses have. For the time being we would like to keep
it this way.
*Benefic Aura mana to 5 - We've lowered it to 25 we will not go to 5, Paladins
should not have the same ability with spells as clerics. *Settable recall - This
wouldn't be a bad idea if we had multiple towns but aside from Hometowns
we don't and we have tage to cover those for now so we see no need for this at
this time.
*Hometown tokens to Tage - Tokens are meant as a means of entry not for
giving instant transport for others around the realms. *Description Toggle -
Kali has stated he has explained their reason before for denying this one and
will be happy to again if someone wants to know (he's sleeping right now
so I'm not going to wake him to ask)
*Wasp Sting - It's not literal, it's a metaphor.. deal with it.
If you have any questions about these, please contact a TS Rep.
May 5, 2003
Passed:
* Increased buffer size for channels, notes, bios, etc. - rewrite
* Ownership tagging no longer applied to description editing of items
* Transport and portal reallowed into Sentinel and Gauntlet
* Vampire scan during the night
* Expanding other cities in game (ie. add post office, shopkeepers, repairs)
* Statreport and report display changes for non-magic users
Failed:
* Mana costs for spells displayed in practice or slist -- The amount of mana
needed for some spells fluctuates depending on the stats of the caster, making a
mana cost display much less useful. In regards to logic it does not make much
sense for a mage to look up how much magic he needs for a spell but rather to
experience it first hand. And lastly, we do not see a real need or demand for
implementing this idea.
* New cslist command to view slists of other classes -- Considering any slist
can be accessed by merely creating a level 1 character in pre-auth and typing 'slist',
we do not see any need to provide this as a command for convenience. Plain and
simply, this is more a tool for the lazy and not the way in which people should
find out more about other classes. And for realism's sake, it would be
impossible for anyone to view the abilities of a different class without
pursuing that class first hand.
As you can see I will be adding explanations to the proposals we fail as per the
request of many people. Please come next week for new member slaughter :)

Cast reveal in battle - Given that mobs go vis when attacking you, we don't see
any need for reveal to be cast during battle.
May 12, 2003
Passed:
* Supplicate restore
* Feed skill usable on bodyparts when low on bp
* Waitstate changes automatically updating prompt
Failed:
* Supplicate cure to remove blind/curse/poison etc. - From a sensible point of
view it was felt that curing ailments such as poison or blindness was not
something a deity would typically do. And considering the vast availability of
pills, salves, wands etc. which exist to cure people of these afflictions,
adding this as a supplicate option for a hefty favor cost hardly seemed
something which would be useful or frequently used.
* Owner-tagged items regainable after DTing - We were informed by the TS
immortals that the only item this idea would apply to is the sliver of glass.
This greatly narrows the need for this idea, and as we were further told that
the sliver was not likely to be adjusted in that sense, there was no sense in
passing this proposal.
* Name changes in pre-auth not rerolling stats - This problem is
not really a problem; simply create a name and see if it is authed before you
spend countless hours rerolling for desirable stats. In consideration of newbies
who might not know better, however, we did pass a similar idea to make it
impossible to reroll until after a name is authed.
From last week

May 19, 2003
Passed:
* Fountain at National Visions - rewrite
* Increasing ignore limit - rewrite
* Save command not disrupting afk
Failed:
* Preventing spam-out by reroll command
Considering it is not that difficult to save every 19 times you reroll a char
rather than spam yourself out, we did not see a need to make an exception for
this command. This was also viewed as an encouragement to mindless authing.
* Warriors choosing their primary stat
We could not find any reason why warriors should get this option over another
class, or the logic in this change. If a warrior chose something other than a
primary stat of strength, it would hardly still be a warrior.
* Druid helpfile change
Describing druids as odiferous fits well in the helpfile's description of the
class as being close to nature and lacking in charm and grace. Why change it?
* Ignore command to block all IP-checked alts
There was concern that such an ability would provide a lot of leeway into
discovering the alts of others. Also, if someone's need to ignore a person has
to span over all their alts too, then that leans more toward the need of
immortal help and potential harassment. We also weren't sure such coding was
possible given IPs that are frequently changing.
Passed by VC
*Increasing extra description buffers
*Auth status in preauth
Denied by VC
*Increasing channel buffers
*Increasing roomdesc buffers

*Empty brewed flasks - so they can be used again.
*Mail list - showing who is was addressed to and when it was sent.
*Lillies and daisies being changed to type flower.

*'Save' and the AFK state - was decided saving indicates activity.

June 2, 2003
Passed:
* Class group bonuses - players getting benefits from classes grouped with them
* Blood fountains giving more blood per drink
* Lowering level restriction for ring engravings
Failed:
* Gaining levels through roleplay - this would be too hard to monitor and judge
on which char is properly rp'ing or not as everyone has their own ideas of what
good rp should be.
* Mentoring programs for new avatars - again very difficult to monitor and many
guilds/orders already do this, including NC
* Classifying characters by stats on A-F scale (18/18 thief an A, 14/14 an F)
This does not take into account base hitpoints or mana and people usually just
traffic the stats that they are offering to buy or sell.
Passed by VC
*Adding Fountain in National Visions
*Unlock showing which key was used
*Mail list to show more information
*Aegir sending treasures
*Traffic not being used while stunned
*Extending guide line in buffers to show true length
*Poisoned weapons lasting longer/usable only by thieves
Denied by VC
*Making coral depths flower 'plant' types - Project already underway
*Auto-bury - Too many configs as is. Some things you need to learn to do for
yourself.
*Increasing ignore slots - If you have that many people to ignore, perhaps there
is a problem.
Passed by CoE:
*Two-handed weapons
*Finditem searching containers first
*Adding a help mobile file
*Addition of 'basic level range' in armor exam
*Restore on level up to level 25
*Adding help hunger/thirst level files
*Ability to use k and m in starting auctions
*Extra_removers can close other peoples votes
*Addition of character name to welcome message
*"Layerable" flag to show on identify
Denied by CoE
*Sender as note keyword - This used to be the case, however was intentionally
removed due to abuse.
*Bloodlet affecting thirst - Bloodlet and thirst are two different things
entirely. That said, we have agreed to change feed not to affect thirst.
*Hell release time in config - People are told when they are sent to hell
originally, and should pay attention then rather than counting down to the
minute they are to be released with config.
If you have any questions, please contact a TS rep.
June 9, 2003

* Mudmailing coded leaders through their org's abbreviations - rewrite
* Character's org displaying on the where command - moved to Building sub
Failed:
* Permanently swapping names between two characters - This is something which

The TS meeting on Monday, June 16, 2003 at 8:30pm est was open to the public to watch the workings and debate involved in TS meetings. Anyone was free to attend but rules of behavior were be clearly set so that a level of spam and order was maintained. If you have any questions, please send a tell to any TS immortal or Skaphia.
Thank you for your cooperation in what I thought was a very
orderly and
successful public meeting tonight. I was a little sad to see we did not have
as many things to debate about as usual, but in any case the turnout was very
good and there was a big request for more open meetings ;)
I would like to hear some feedback from those who attended the meeting as far
as things we could do differently, things we did well, etc. Is this something
you want to do on a regular basis?
Skaphia
Passes:
* Sundial for Darkhaven
* Unique ranks for all guild leader spots
* Rewrite: mudmailing leaders by their organization's abbreviation
* Examining donation containers with arguments (ie. exam case ring)
* Enhanced quaffrate for peacefuls when in the arena - rewrite
* Guild/order tags showing on where like clans
* 'List all' option at shops to see all items for sale - rewrite
* Adding arguments to list command (ie. list warrior human) - rewrite
Fails:
* Leaders setting their leader group bonus onto alts - This is a _leader_ bonus
not a leader's running alt bonus.
* Tells logged while afk and a replay command to see them - There are many ways
to contact someone while afk: beckon, mudmail, trigger scripts. Realms is not an
answering machine.
* Config option to see/buy non-usable items in shops - Why add another config
option just for shopkeepers? There are easier ideas we passed for this issue.
Passed by VC
*Houses having colour flags
Denied by VC
*Blood fountains increasing bp by 20 - Felt this was unrealistic.
*Changing minor invocation message for caster - Too spammy, not to mention that
it is not supported code wise. Would require a rewrite of smaugspells.
*Lowering level to engrave wedding rings - Gives lowbies something to aim for.

* 'Who area' command (shows people in the area in a who display)--This was felt
to be not needed

Passes:
* Findnote/item change, shows container item was found in
* Editing command /q, adds text onto a wrapped line
* Adding casting messages to several druid spells
Fails:
* Auction starting at item's value if no amount given - An item's value is
rarely a factor of overall worth, so this didn't make sense with auction.
