Effective immediately, I am declaring a state of emergency* and instituting martial law over all denizens of WoTmud, due to the increasing state of alarm and suspected player defections to other muds, as well as infiltrations by agents from Midgaard, smurfs from the Smurf Village, clones from Star Wars, and talking swords from Merc.
Anyone convicted of disloyalty to WoTmud will be:
a) shot
b) drawn
c) quartered
d) tarred
e) feathered
and not necessarily in that order either.
Beware the Wet Ramen Noodle of Punishment (Chicken Flavor): OB 500, PB 500, dmg 32d32!
* for the humor impaired, just letting you know that we are aware of your concerns and in some cases, discontent, and that we are reorganizing the staff, and to expect changes** for the better.
** in particular, a ton of new zones for Christmas.
