doh! that's happened to me a couple times. especially at lower levels where i was clearing the forest really easily, i was just mashing buttons really fast and not really reading what was happening - before you knew it, I was fighting another player (and usually dying!)

so i tried changing my name again to get different colors and the look i got while practicing at the other inn looks completely different than what my name would change to. then i tried checking in an inn conversation and my words didnt change color, so im thinking the parsing on my terminal is hosed





are the colors supposed to be this spastic?

i didn't have the impression that the parsing actually happens in your terminal. sounds like something that would happen on the server and tell your terminal what characters and colors it should print

ya the colors are programmed in the enemies have them pre set, for their names and weapons and death lines etc... gently caress, i set many of them. alot are random and i just banged the keys a bunch until it looked ok and called it a day.

well idk then. it looked fine when i practiced but then when i went to change my name the colors didnt work at all and some of them appeared as different colors entirely. even going for a solid color wouldnt work properly

i guess that explains why you wouldn't respond at all trying to slaughter you last night multiple times haha

i thought a log on would time out on the server end automatically if it didn't receive input for a while

yeah lord is pretty much the only bbs game i have ever played and the first time i played it was way past the dialup era. i am way too young for bbs's mostly because the place i grew up didnt even know about the internet until around 2000

LORD is built solid, has mass appeal and definitely stands up to time -- there's even a web based spin off called Legend of the Green Dragon -- http://lotgd.net. Probably Trade Wars is the only other door game that holds up so well.

Usurper is good fun, more folks here need to get on that. Though was more entertaining back in the day with the setting enabled to steal the other player's equipment when you kill them.

its skill class, you "master" it at 20 pts and "MASTER" it at 40 where there i no more to even do with it

when you 20 pts your skill class you get a colored letter on the list, when you go all the way you get it in bright white
