(As in 'angel,' as befitting a Guild of Clerics.) <br /><br />She was pretty much a hand-me-down character, each guild leader inherited her from the one before and just left her logged in 24/7. <br /><br />Depending on how obsessive said guild leader was (*coughcough*), it was easy enough in the standard MUD clients we were using at the time to set up text logging or triggers to alert us when certain bits of text scrolled past the screen.<br /><br />I was bored enough to turn her into a sort of very basic chat bot, reacting to certain words or numbers. "Press 1 for X" "Press 2 for Y" and bored people would whisper her just to see what she would say to them.<br /><br />That may have helped the veneer of harmlessness along. <br /><br />All good though, it amused the good guys and lulled the bad guys into a false sense of safety!Jeromaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206083433625986970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170161199375200085.post-42310670464131582052015-12-13T19:45:49.322-08:002015-12-13T19:45:49.322-08:00LOL!

Me, if I'm the guild leader.<br /><br />Your scenario reminded me of my old MUD days when I would literally camp out with a bot and wait for a few bad apples to loot the guild stash. The stash was meant for equipping new guildies and not alts, but a handful of people always seemed to bend the rules to assume their alts were fine. They also thought the bot just logged stuff or was just there for deterrence.<br /><br />Little did they know their university student guild leader had no damn life and was pretty effectively on 18 hours a day, minus sleep time. I'd log on the actual guild leader just in time to catch them red handed giving the stuff to their alts parked outside the guild entrance and bang, gkick without a word.<br /><br />Very few of them argued, so they definitely knew they were breaking the law there. After a week or two of this, the guild stash stopped having items mysteriously disappear and be unaccounted for.Jeromaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206083433625986970noreply@blogger.com
