be questioned.

Feb 12, 2007
Passes/Fails
=============
* Variation of Racial Benefits - Proposal to change the resistance trait for
each race to be a range instead of the static 10%. This value would be
determined at character creation, and could be between say 8%-12%.
* Adjustments to Feline Grace and Ursine Brawn - Add more affects to each skill
but reduce their duration to make them more useful.
* Mail Packages - A facility to mail packages in the mud between characters.
Discussion
=============
* Discussion of fly refresh, held until next meeting Kali is present.
* Discussion on Player Balance, Forum opened to discuss it, until a more direct
system with CoE is established.
back to top
Feb 19, 2007
Passes
=============
* Changes to Fletch - The spell should be converted to a skill and require 'a
shard of flint' and 'a stack of wood' where the stack of wood could be used to
make up to 10 arrows, one shard per arrow. Require no mana, but consume some
movement pts. Dex and Wisdom should affect the skill usage.
* Tame - Wisdom based Charming skill for rangers that will charm only mobs that
are tagged as animals.
Discussion
=============
* Discussion of fly refresh with Kali. Things discussed included lowering fly
duration and allowing fly to be refreshed, having the land command remove fly
entirely, equipment being present with perma-fly, and fly's power level.
* Discussion on Player Balance.
Moved to CoE
-------------
Guardian Angel Spell for Paladins - Summon a mob for aiding in fights.
Ambush skill for Rangers - Players can lie in wait for prey, dealing some extra
damage.
Requiring further work
----------------------
Variation in Racial Benefits - Concerns were raised on whether or not this stat
should be visible on creation. This makes rerolling even more tedious and if
concealed, people would be upset with a poor rating after they have spent a lot
of time levelling the character up.
Adjustments to Feline Grace and Ursine Brawn - It has been suggested that these
proposals be split - this has been done and they are resubmitted. Further, it
has been raised that rangers already receive the highest dodge % of all their
genre. Why do they deserve more?

that can be imbued with aff_spells either through the intermediary of particular

* Question about the tracking of the number of TS proposals that have been
submitted to CoE and the status of what happened to each proposal since the TS
restructure.

in the arena.

April 2, 2007
Passed
=============
* Proposal to change gash over to using movements as it does not seem
appropriate to use mana for a normal physical based skill. Failure due to lack
of claw weapon would use no moves.
Discussion
=============
* Discussion of a family channel was tabled due to input from Kali about an
addition to the mud that will be coming with the next code port.
back to top
April 9, 2007
Passed
=============
* Dream/Nightmare Modification to allow the spell to be used from any room to
any room in the realm where normal communication would work.
* Hair color options - Add Teal/Aqua hair colors at character creation for
for Sea-Elves.
Discussion
=============
* Discussion of Password Bank, proposal held for next week, due to even split of
votes.
CoE Decisions - Failed
========================
* Guardian Angel - Too much room for abuse, walking past guard mobs, etc.
Liason Decisions - Failed
===========================
* Ranged in-room Combat - We still need a complete, summarized proposal on this
topic. Please submit again when ready.
* Rangers - Tame - We need more information on how mobs will be chosen as
Tameable...is this a Mob Flag? Is this similar to "Animal Empathy"?
* Rangers - Feline Grace - Rangers have sufficient dodge, adding to this skill
seems overpowered for the class and the skill itself.
* Augurer - Enhanced Damage / Third Attack / Fourth Attack - It was felt that
this would make Augurers too physical-based, we will be tweaking their spells
more than their physical attacks at this time.
Liason Decisions - Passed to CoE
==================================
* Mailing Packages
* Changes to Fletch
* Rangers - Ursine Brawn - Add +1 dr
* Fathomer - Issycll - Increase duration, hit higher level mobs
* Fathomer - Seasting - Increase duration, use in combat
* Augurers - Nostrum - Reduce mana cost, lag
* Augurers - Prophetic Aura - Add resist blind
* Augurers - Spiral Blast - Reduce mana cost
* Augurers - Two-Handed - Raise to 95%

April 23, 2007
Passed
=============
* Combo Moves - For each non-repeating damage skill used in a row without any
other skills, spells, or commands separating them, an incremental damage
multiplier would affect the damage of the next skill.
* Inventory/Ground Proposal - Change the code to search inventory first for the
item, and CONTINUE the search on the ground. Thus 1.item would be in inventory,
and 2.item would be on the ground in the above example of only two items.
* Item Command Ordering Proposal - Change all commands to either search from the
top, or the bottom, but not a mixture.
* Projectile Damage Modifier - Change it so that "/10" is no longer part of the
damage equation for projectiles.
* Modification of appearance - Allow players to have an immortal modify their
appearance (i.e. description, hair colour, eyes, weight, etc.) for glory.
* Room echo for quaffing an empty flask - $n sucks the air from an empty flask
and burps loudly.
* Replacing old glory with new - Allow player to add glory to a tagged item by
restoring the item to its original state and then adding the new glory.
* Proposal to add an argument to the stand command that allows you to stand on
objects (or get off furniture). Example: stand ground would move you off of
furniture.
Failed
=============
* Restoration of Auctioneer's Fee - Reinstall the auctioneer's fee at 5%.
* Password Bank for Gold that could be accessible to any character. It was felt
there was too much room for abuse.

======================
- Add Argument to Stand
- Combo Moves
- Empty Flask Room Echo
- Modification of Appearance
- Projectile Damage Modifier Change
- Item Command Ordering Problem
Liasons Failed -
================
- Ranger Gash - Would prefer not making this movement-based.
- Inventory/Ground Addressing problem - Would create coding / mob problems.
- Replacing old glory with new - Would prefer not changing relics of the past.

given additional time to complete voting.

May 21, 2007
Passed
==================
* Weapon DISARM Idea - Proposal to add a tagging to weapons that are disarmed so
the owner can get their weapons using something similar to 'get my.weapon' This
would allow for bypassing untagged as well as other people's weapons in a large
pile present in many fights.
* Identifying Sectors - Proposal to identify the broad sector type of the room
either as letter or symbol in place of the compass (+) or alternatively as a
token for prompts.
* Remove level 1 rolling characters from mob/room IP checks - This will allow
players to roll characters while running or exploring as rolling requires quite
a bit of time.

==================
* Thief Innate Scry Removal - Proposal to remove innate scry from thieves as
there is no thematic reason for it.
* Allowing Pre-auth Renaming - Allow the free use of the name command to rename
a character in pre-auth. Once an application is made, i.e. past a point or
pulling the cord, the name command should be disabled.
* Advancing Group Leveling, Solution 1 - Proposal to change the XP in direct
proportion to mob HP and to increase the rate at which XP drops over time in a
fight.
* Advancing Group Leveling, Solution 2 - Proposal to change how XP from combat
is distributed to the group.
Passed by CoE
- Add argument to Stand, to enable getting down from furniture.
- Combo Moves
- Item Command Ordering problem.
- Projectile Damage Modifier Change.
- Teal hair colour option for Sea-Elves.
- Quaffing empty flask room echo.
- Dream/Nightmare Change. Note - This proposal will also take astral zones into
affect, as well as silences and ignores.
- Darts/Arrows with Imbuable Affects. Note - This proposal has passed with the
caveat that objects made will only be useable by the class who makes them.
-Elemental Damage for Weapons
CoE Failed -
Mailing Packages -- The feeling was it was a nice idea, but a lot of work and
potentially abuseable for little tangible gain.

June 17, 2007
Passed
==================
* Advancing General Leveling - A proposal to rewrite the current xp formula to
accurately represent the toughness of a mob. This includes adding terms for mob
dodge, mob parry, mob extra attacks and defenses, mob saves, mob damroll, and a
reconstitution of the currently horrendous terms.
Failed by Liasons
=================
Preauth Characters not counting in IP checks.
-Why should those with rollers in preauth be given exemption from ip checks when
characters being run for the benefit of others (such as donation guards) are not
exempted?
-This would allow people to roll characters 24/7 until they get their ideal
stats. If we were to allow that, then why not simply let them choose their stats
within certain bounds?
-There might be server-load implications if we had 500 chars in preauth
rerolling 24/7 too.
Identifying Sectors
-It would be better to check that the skills/spells give clear fail messages,
rather than allowing sector identify.
my.weapon idea
-When theres a pile of nearly identical weapons clattering about on the ground
it should not be immediately obvious which ones belong to whom.
New class - Monks
-We do not currently need a new class, and may want to wait until any Cleric
revamp is revealed as there could be overlap.
-Reading through the slist, while there are elements that are innovative and
imaginative, the overall effect is just overpowered.
-The adept %'s are too high. They can't be that good at everything.
-Best without weapons, yet two weapon types adept at 95% and one at 75%.
-A number of their skills are far too powerful, ie: replacing supplicate.
-The theme does not seem to fit with the idea of Monks, as monks are people who
are extremely religious, yet these do not devote or believe in deities.
Thief innate scry removal
-This sort of negative change would really frustrate a lot of players, and
serves no useful purpose.

June 24, 2007
Passed
==================
* Directional Flee - Proposal to allow flee to be used to attempt to flee in a
specific direction 'flee <dir>'. Two checks would be needed, first to check for
a successful flee attempt, a second check for the directional flee
* Augurer Spell: Ruinous Fate - New Damage Spell proposal that used 1/4-1/5 of a
crystal and does damage range between gash and paradox flux. This is intended to
augment Augurer PK ability.
* HP/Mana Glorying Characters - Proposal to allow HP/Mana to be added to
characters in the same manner (and cost ratio) as stats.
Discussion
==================
* Fan of Knives Proposal - Comments and Suggestions were brought forth to have
the proposal rewritten to include more information.
* Jelincth Flails Proposal - Debate over whether TS could/should propose changes
to in game items. Proposal has been tabled until Mortal Head can meet with Akael.
