Quest Digest is back. From: ">>-Josh->" <J.P.Gallagher@durham.ac.uk> Date: Wed, 04 Jan 1995 22:41:40 +0000 Hello there. I am posting the Quest Digest again for the first time this term. If you would like to be involved in discussions about the play by mail game, Quest, then e-mail me at the address above. Or, if you do not have an address above, at the address below. J.P.Gallagher@durham.ac.uk What appears below the fancy line is a copy of the e-mail sent to everyone on the list. >>-Josh-> -----------------===============<>===============-------------------- JPG> Hello there! I am back and (just about) recovered from the Christmas festivities. Hello there to all the new people who Niall put on and I have just put on. You make the total (unless I counted incorrectly) up to 50 people! Not bad is it? JPG> Thank you Niall for the Quest Digests whilst I was away. I have mixed and matched lists, so I hope nothing above bounces. Now, down to Quest stuff! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the 28th December, Frank Maximus (not realising everyone was on holiday) wrote: Hello, FM> Since one oer 2 weeks I didn't hear anything about quest... Where's the list gone? FM> Are there no questions anymore? FM> Is the list interested in descriptions of 'all' things? I already have a lot of descriptions typed into my computer! (weapons, spells, etc.) Greetinx, Frank Maximus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ JPG> There are questions! There was just no-one there to ask them! About the blurbs, if Chris Clarke has got hers ported from the C64 then you all now have two people to ask for blurbs from; Chris and Frank. Please do *not* put any of them on the net publicly, we don't want any copyright hassles (and anyway, Steven Fairbrother is on the list and he wouldn't like it!). JPG> I recieved the following a few minutes ago, and it was very naughtily sent to everyone WITHOUT GOING THROUGH ME! Not that I am bitter or anything! Seriously though, anything you want on the list should be sent to me, as people like Steven have to pay for everything they view. There are lots of new people on the list so I thought I would repost it anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Christian Nielson wrote the following: CN>Happy Silly Season, all! :) Here's a suggestion/question for you, Steven: Now that you're busy implementing the new alliance rules, would it be possible to write some code that enables you to put money into other people's moneylender-accounts? After all, the moneylenders of Kharne apparantly have some sort of network; if you deposit money in one city, you can withdraw it in another city. This would make things easier for bounty-hunters and assassins, besides giving loners and unofficial alliances a little more leeway - not everybody wants to be in an alliance. It would also enable alliances to pay outside specialists to do their dirty work (I believe it is called "plausible deniability"). CN>Questions: Now that it is only possible for a party to be a member of one alliance, why not make the alliance rosters public knowledge, i.e. put it in the newspapers? It would simplify wars a lot... Can someone send me a blurb list, please? I would really appreciate it... Well, that's it. Quest on, dudes! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ JPG> That is all for today. Chris (Clarke), sorry I didn't get around to meeting you in Coventry. If you speak with Paul he will tell you the severe hassle we had with British Rail (who doesn't??). JPG> Keep sending your stuff in. This will get posted to the pbm newsgroup too, just to let people know we are here and Questing! >>-Josh-> Up
