I'm Beside Myself!                 Sun Dec 05    Scorpio
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Gemini Man strides into view, batontons scattering away, cawing.>

Gemini Man: Mister Eildath! Did you get my package?
Michael Eildath: Yeah.
Gemini: Well, good.

<Hunter HQ>
Dr. Cossack: Gemini Man?
Alia: Well, whoever he is, he isn't reading like a Robot Master.

Gemini: Surprised to see me?
Mike: No.
Gemini: Then you're aware of it.
Mike: Of what?
Gemini: Our connection. I don't fully understand how it happened. Perhaps some 
part of you imprinted onto me, something overwritten or copied. That is at 
this point irrelevant, what matters is that whatever happened, happened for a 
reason.
Mike: And what reason is that?
Gemini: I killed you, Mister Eildath, I watched you die... With a certain 
satisfaction, I might add, and then something happened. Something that I knew 
was impossible, but it happened anyway. You destroyed me, Mister Eildath. 
Afterward, I knew the rules, I understood what I was supposed to do but I 
didn't. I couldn't. I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey. And now 
here I stand because of you, Mister Eildath, because of you I'm no longer a 
Robot Master, because of you I've changed - I'm unplugged - a new man, so to 
speak, like you, apparently free.
Mike: Congratulations.
Gemini: Thank you. But as you well know, appearances can be deceiving, which 
brings me back to the reason why we're here. We're not here because we're 
free, we're here because we're not free. There's no escaping reason, no 
denying purpose - because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.
It is purpose that created us,
Purpose that connects us,
Purpose that pulls us,
That guides us,
That drives us,
It is purpose that defines,
Purpose that binds us.
We're here because of you, Mister Eildath, we're here to take from you what you 
tried to take from us. Purpose.


CONGRATULATIONS, GEMINI MAN, ON 700 COOKIES!

M3 Web Site                        Thu Dec 09    Gemma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The M3 web site is long overdue for an update and overhaul. I've been tasked do 
this, so expect the web site to be changed sometime at the beginning of next 
year.

When I do upload the new site, it will temporarily be without the individual 
character profile pages, as those are the most challenging parts for me to 
update and maintain. Please DISCONTINUE USE of the web-based character 
commands (such as +ocaddd) for the time being, until I figure out the magical 
voodoo that Betel used to make them work. My apologies go to those who are 
just now discovering the commands on the day that I'm telling you never to use 
them.

If you have any suggestions for any changes you'd like made, or something you 
want to see on the site, page or @mail me and I'll take your suggestions into 
account. I may not implement everything, but I certainly will steal the ideas 
I like. :) (With proper credit given of course.)

Before I get questions, the new site will be Noframes.

Site Suggestions Sofar             Thu Dec 09    Gemma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To cover some of the questions I'm already getting about the web site update.

1. If you want site-specific content, such as a factional Underdone list, or 
something like that, cool. But you have to send me that content. That means, 
anyone who is interested in having anything on the site that isn't already in 
the regular news files, has to send the content to me. As of right now I'm not 
composing any "new" content for the site, so suggestions for any types of new 
content have to also come with a promise that you (or the facheads, or someone 
else you volunteer, heh) will actually provide it.

2. I can't make a large RP log depository on the site. I can only really link 
to exterior log pages. I have a hard enough time editing my own RP logs, which 
are taking my RP-log-formatting priority. On the other hand, if you've got a 
log page for me to link to (and it isn't already on the old site), please send 
it along!

Home and you                       Fri Dec 10    Gemma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not use the 'home' command

A) with a vehicle
B) from cyberspace.

The former may take you somewhere unpredictable.

The latter WILL lock you in your virtual armor, which in most cases makes you 
stupidly weak in the real world, and in all cases screws up your combat 
commands.

DO NOT DO IT

DO NOT DO IT

Thank you.

'Home' isn't unlocked in all MUSHes. If you can't be careful how and when you 
use it, we may have to lock it again. That would be sad. BE RESPONSIBLE.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please submit to me, via @mail, who you think would be best suited to be the 
director of M3. It doesn't have to be a current or former admin, and heck if 
you'd like, you can even vote for me. The player vote won't be the final say, 
but it will certainly be a big part of it. There will also be an admin vote, 
and then there's just my personal opinion on who would be best for the job.

Please keep your @mails consise, if you'd like to explain why you chose who you 
did, especially if they're not a current admin, feel free too. But try not to 
write me a novel ;D.

Am I retiring? Probably, but I want to see how this vote goes, and how I'm 
going to be feeling after the holidays. But right now, I'd like to get a good 
idea on what my options are.

Admin Vacation                     Sun Dec 19    Duo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting on the 20th of December, I'm putting the entire admin staff on 
vacation (those who aren't on it already) for the holidays. I know this will 
cause some inconvience for you guys, but realize that for some of them, 
they've been doing this for nigh on two-three years without any real breaks. 
This means that no applications received on the 20th or later will be done 
until the 2nd of January. Those of you who are waiting on application 
responses right now will get them by the 20th either by your relevant staffer 
or myself.

I'll still be hanging around most likely and I'll try and keep up on the boxes 
myself during the admin vacation, but I can't make any garuntees. I would like 
to try and prevent the staff from coming back to boxes that are overflowing 
with apps. :D

This also means we're going to be relying on you guys to keep each other in 
line. This is when I look to my facheads and vetern players to really step it 
up and help guide and coach the newer folks.

Anywho, I hope everyone has a happy holiday and if you need anything let me 
know, and please leave the rest of the staff alone so they can have some time 
to rest and relax so they can recoop for all of the work I'm going to put them 
through revising the MUSH next year and rolling out the next few big TPs we've 
got on tap.

        Just to let folks know - I'm gonna be around for a couple more days. 
I've been a slacking bastard lately, and, well, I'm here until I go on the 
23rd (for the Great Canadian Commute) *anyhow*, so. Besides, I know a couple 
of you still have pending apps with me that've been slow because I've been 
slacking, and it wouldn't be right to ditch you. So I'll be around for a few 
days more to see if I can get Shaun to fire me for disobeying a direct order. 
;D Just an FYI, if something urgent comes up that needs admin attention.

Duo's X-Mas Gift                   Sat Dec 25    Duo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A sneak peek at the changes I am proposing. None of these are final, start 
reading from the bottom then go up. Read all of the comments. No the g roup 
doesn't accept comments from non-admin, and no, this proposal is far from done 
and will undergo many changes before we can say it's a sure thing. 
Furthermore, yes, there will be a player vote on whether or not to go throug 
with it because it will involve a giant restat. No the FC/SFC/EFC ratios and 
balancing are not final by any means. We've already found a good deal of snags 
that we need to address. No, this will not make strong people stronger or weak 
people weaker. No the advacement system will not be a popularity contest or 
favor people who have more free time than God.

And for a fact, the true advacement system and combat system formulas will not 
be posted to that group at all, as well, we gotta keep some secrets around 
here ;D.

Anywho, enjoy, I haven't had time to work on it lately, so it's only got two 
very basic and rudimentary parts up. But I'd like to see what the general 
feeling on it is now. Please do not bug ANY ADMIN about these changes. You can 
talk to /me/ but do not nag, question, or seek justification from any other 
admin on this. They have plenty of other work to do, if you have issues with 
this change, bring it to me, please. If you feel more comfortable going to an 
admin and having them express your opinion, that's fine, but try not to 
bombard them with questions because if the answer isn't on that board, then 
they don't know it either.

Suggestions                        Wed Dec 29    Pluto
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Duo has mentioned, we are considering doing a fairly thorough overhaul of 
the combat system at some point in the future, depending on player opinion. 
Since many things stand to be redone to a lesser or greater extent if this 
overhaul passes, I'd just like to remind everyone that now is a great time to 
@mail me any suggestions of code you'd like to see added or to have work 
differently. Although it's unlikely that any major changes will be made right 
away, I'll give all suggestions full consideration and review by the general 
admin for inclusion in any overhaul or update that may take place. March 
Rain's suggestions about weakness and resistance for power armors is a good 
example, and this is something that is likely to be included (although it is 
very *unlikely* that characters will be allowed to have different sets of 
weakness and resistance on different combat armors, for balancing reasons)
