Passed to VC
A request has been made to review defunct in-area quests and determine if there are items and/or progs that need to be altered. There is concern that quests that can be started but not completed could be a source of frustration.

Passed CoE:
Allow note vote changes

Denied by VC:
New shields
If we start throwing numerous different shield varieties out there, it will be quite difficult to deal with the shield issue in either mkill or pkill unless we opt for a lesser damage type, which then moves it back to the pre-shattering realm of pointlessness. An across the board addition of shield types for every spellcasting class is not in our interest.

Notice in light of issues brought up about in-area quests: Mini-quests are being added regularly. Some quests will not not be given to every player - that helps deal with the constant issue of players farming for desirable items. Some quests will only be available to those who maintain an awareness as they play. They -will- find these quests. That said, please do submit any individual -specific-, -quality- quest ideas to Loril.

As mentioned previously, incomplete in-area quests have been raised as an issue and are being addressed by CoB as they see fit.

Failed
========
Hall of Heroes and adding a written description about the reasons for the character being there. Although this was a nice idea, it was not seen as something overly valuable to the game. Further, the content could be unwanted by some of the nominees which should be avoided. Management of the text would also be an additional strain on resources that was perceived as unnecessary.

Config +noexp for Peacefuls
This idea has been brought up in the past and was denied mainly for abuse reasons. It was also suggested that if you have a low level character who you wish to remain that way, you can simple die a sufficient number of times as to lose enough experience to have leveling not be an issue.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact a TS rep or TS immortal.

Crowbar moustache physical trait
Make flail the Augurer preauth weapon

Denied by VC
Custom Colourschemes - Many MUD clients allow colour mapping.  Please see News 9.

Getting multiple items from containers - Aliases are available both here and in clients. There are means to repeat commands.

Make the Staff of Baradur usable by all classes - We are not generally open to changing a builder's intent. It was not built that way in error. Other items are available.

Make sentinel mobs ranged-weapon fireable if they are engaged in battle with someone in their room. - The concept is wide open to abuse, with one or two people tanking and the rest sitting next door shooting with no risk to themselves.

=================================
**Keywords in Identify and Auction - adding more keywords to ID and Auction

Failed
=================================
**Auctions show auctioner, allow ignore - It was felt that to be able to ignore a few spammers it was an unnesessary change and some people would rather not be shown when they auction items.

Any questions should be directed to a TS rep or immortal.

======
Add Keywords to both Identify and Auction
My suggestion is to put Keywords into both Identify and Auction This would be beneficial to all the members of the realms, as the only person who truly needs to know keywords is the person who would be id'ing the item, but it would help if you are about to go run that av mob that disarms, sac's the weapons that include the "xx" keyword, and you'd like to make sure they're safe

More character physical traits
As it is, the mustache is long. The facial hair is a toggle between goatee/mustache/sideburns, with beard not being allowed with the previous. It seems fine as is.

Any questions should be directed to a TS rep or immortal.
