Ethereal - The Underworld Maze

Starts February 1st

The competition is open to all and is based on a Underworld (dungeon
type) maze (similar to an early rpg computer style game) where the
contestants have to complete a quest and answer questions along the way.

All entrants that successfully complete the Underworld Quest will
receive a prize of an Ethereal T-Shirt.

There will also be extra prizes awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the
Quest. These positions will be decided at the end of February - after
the Underworld finishes - via a mini-quest playoff or a questionaire,
depending on how many people complete the Underworld Quest. Additional
Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd are yet to be decided.

The Underworld is a maze that covers around 80,000sq metres and includes
player interaction with 4 bots that also auto-save the players current
state of game play. Thus allowing the player to complete the quest over
a period of time - well you have all month to do it! :)

Any questions, send a tele to me. (Who)

Update!

As per the extra prizes for 1st/2nd/3rd below:

1st - Avatar designed for you
2nd - Building Plot (Ethereal)
3rd - PS Status Ethereal (2 weeks)

Note that you also still get the T-Shirt as well as.

If 1st/2nd or 3rd is a "tourist", then the tourist will be given a
citizenship with the T-Shirt as the above are not really helpful to a
tourist :)

Hmmm....

[View Quote] I should hope not!

Private worlds should be operated by those that privately own them and
not be open to such a possibility from an "unknown" citizen. If what you
say is true I will immediately gain a list of all committee members and
put their cit num's on the eject list for all worlds I perform caretaker
duties for.

Only authorised citizens should have that kind of power in a private
world.

I think in most cases a world owner would delete any such object upon
request, but upon looking again at the CY website I don't see any
copyright information, therefore I doubt if you have the authority to
remove the object.

As the Count said, maybe the statue might look good in the outhouse,
sounds like the most useful place for it.

You are stating multiple people have use of Citizen #1 - especially all
those on the CY committee can gain access to it.

Is this another abuse of power? Join the CY committee and thus gain full
rights in every world? Sounds like a real good "community" organisation
in this case...

Hmm.. no you didn't say that at all, maybe you should quote what you
typed rather than rephrasing it to represent what you meant :)

Anyway - its over with now.

And I do read what is typed.

Well, no more complaints about missing things from the install
instructions so the Shadow bot is released as is. :)

Shadow Bot (Adventure/RPG style script for Xelagot's)

http://www.ricta.net/ethaw/shadow.html

Note there is now a help guide page also available there (will be
updated slowly)

For those of you who are familiar with the adventure game in
eth2/ethereal the answer is "No, its not the complete script used by
these bots in these worlds. It's only the basic engine, special quests
and items are not included, you have to add your own :)"

Sorry, have to disagree. Linux is linux. The commands and OS are the
same on each distribution, its only in terms of installation and various
ways to incorporate extra apps that alters the paths etc betwen
distro's. And there isn't much difference to BSD. Btw, there are tons of
docs on everything - in a lot of cases you can't even avoid getting the
docs when you install apps etc even when you don't want them.

Just as "dir" is the sae no matter what version of MSDos or Win you are
using, "ls" is the same on every flavour of linux.

Still as you say, AW was written for Unix/Linux, so it runs better on
Linux, there are some things that run better on NT.

Hi,

Well you know me, and I am used to your version numbers.

I do fully expect that after you reach 2.9999999 the next version will
be 2.999999910 ;-)

Or do i remember an 8 digit limit somewhere?
