The game I came from used a match method.
Say you had 28 bronze gladii after killing a bunch of Soldiers.. You could do MATCH gladius (Or any item. Letters, parchment, corpses) and it would list all 28 and show any variation in name (dented, sharp, keen etc) and you could inspect them one by one. Say the 17th gladius was excellent condition and the rest were poor.. Put 17 gladius in pack. Once in a pack it was no longer on the match list. It was extremely simple and easy to navigate. I dislike the ii and ih with tons of #IDs. It feel slow.
Really? I have a much easier time grabbing an id off II than I would counting down a list to see whether the thing I want is number 15 or 16 or whatever.

Depends. Perhaps the match returned a numbered list. In which case it really would be nifty and awesome.
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
If it did, you could just as easily script in a numbered ordering on II and IH on the client side as well. Which would probably work very well with this change that allows item#17 come to think of it.
While giving a history lesson I just recalled the time I watched @Cooper behead Twilight back in the day, something like year 280ish... It was a duel with no zapping or "divine fire" which is what made Gods unable to be attacked. Twilight didnt actually 'die' though, but with it he conceeded defeat... then I think shortly after that @Sarapis ordered everyone in the lands to kill cooper back to Minia, which we did. Didnt stop him from getting two short swords and killing nubs who attacked pixies though...
Second part is true too, cept I thought you made it back to Minia, but I distinctly remember you going around with double shortswords killing people still at 21 or whatever you got down to. Was pretty epic, I must admit.

etc. I was on my phone when I posted that earlier. Harder to make it thorough.
Say you had 4 letters... you could do: match letter And it would bring up anything with the word letter in it 1. A letter 2. A letter of doom 3. A gold letter 4. A tunic with the letter R embroidered on the lapel
While that's not all so incredibly different, what you can do is read 3 letter, oh that's the one I want to keep? Put 3 letter in pack.
It's just even a step easier than letter#2 even. Just reference. I'm not demanding anyone implement anything. I'm just saying that system was very, very simple and much more efficient. Something worth at least knowing about if in fact that kind of change is to be built on in the future.

I forget how sexy the Seven Truths are till I read them. And then it all comes flooding back to me.
I heard that in Celine Dion. This is how Wessux sounds in my head now.

I'm enjoying planning my IC vacation more than I've ever enjoyed planning a real life one... I decided this is a Rave, a sad rave, but a rave nonetheless.
This is what happens on a usual basis. I, like a dumbass, wonder who all is gemmed in Targoss. Now a more reasonable person would simply ask around or try to sense them, but not me. I just defup and go defile. Usually does the trick. What is amazing, though, is @Strata will be in realms phased, and I'll have no clue. He'll phase and come in without telling me. I'll be 3 v. 1 thinking I'm screwed and poof, there is @Strata fighting on my side. So here's to you, @Strata:
@Aelios for being a good sport about the contract.
Laptop crashed like 2 minutes later so I lost the log of me stalking you through Dun for 20 minutes I'm glad those 2 Cyrenians didn't make you stop hunting though.
Tied for 2nd in Quisalis now, need more contracts (after my good friend @Dunn gets one first ofc)

Haha, I can't even be mad. Hats off to you, @Jarrod - that was hands down the BEST contract fulfillment I've ever seen. Any mark who has the balls to ambush a guy hunting for 20 minutes, sets up a backstab perfectly for when he engages a deep squad of denizens and times it like you did totally deserves that kill.
All in good fun!

On the subject of nice marks, I have really late Wednesdays, so I was dead tired. But I sat in Mog afk while foruming. Xer took full advantage of it so props to him. I've really gotta add metawake to my retardation stuff cause that was a slow and sad soul spear/arrow death
But the real rave goes to Kafziel who made the first move while I was typing up my diplomatic explanation to him. Had he done anything else I would have focused vibes and raised hell, but no, he used Funeralmass. I just stood there scratching my head like 'wtf is Funeralmass'. Decide to tumble like 7 seconds into it. Total derp moment. Rave for skills nobody uses.
I like my steak like I like my Magic cards: mythic rare.
Wess, you've been helping them too :P Though admittedly, Aerek has been doing the majority of the work. Still love watching it. Not going to mention the name cause they asked me not to.

It overwrites disembowel deathsight. So freaking awesome. :x

@Cathy, yep! Rarely ever seen since I rarely kill people. Was from two or three auctions ago.

Rave at @Achimrst, @Motako, @Kaie for a really great (long, but great) month spent weaving our way through the Multiverse to find the Lsheatha (how cool was that?). Rave @therestofsapience for leaving us be so we could accomplish it.
Quiet, no-pressure socialization at the Universal Membrane, first with @Firien (yayy mother/daughter time!), and then also with @Ellowyne. It's so nice to have casual RP with no expectations or agendas, with people who don't mind if you drift into thinking more about the design you're working on than talking for a while. And the Membrane is always full of entertainment (...and awkwardness).

I didn't finish my house descriptions, or what I want to spend my credits on, or figuring out what I am going to do with Kybrae's books in my other house.... I blame @Bluef for my procrastination today :P
