Uhhh….

Posted on September 6, 2019September 9, 2019 by samakhulis

WOW!! Okay, in the past SIX YEARS, I’ve decided to stop complaining about my lack of motivation on a blog. However, yes, we’re still alive! tfgmush.org is still alive. It’s an actual, paid-for domain now and everything.

Achaea has become boring since their “renaissance.” It was at that point that I “saw past the matrix” and realized how badly they were screwing me out of time, money, and artistic contribution. Not this much, but enough.

However, I’m still the worst archival nut. Some might call me a data hoarder. Whatever the case, this blog still exists and I want it to stay alive for people that search the web for Samakhulis!! Yet, now it will be hosted locally because I learned to hate Blogger with a passion. So welcome to the new WordPress layout and hopefully you all can still find me! Firien, Skegonga, I’m talking to you.

Has it seriously been an entire year since I even looked at this thing!?

I guess so. Hello everyone, and welcome to yet another installment of Samakhulis Moonflair’s big fat bloggy-blog where we talk about anything Achaean. Or at least I do.

What’s been going on? Lots, then again, not a whole lot. I’ve been away quite a bit. Can’t put in a lot of full-day stints in-game, mostly because I picked up a new full-time job OOC in March, which has been keeping me very busy.

HOWEVER, been making new friends, finding old ones coming back and all sorts of things!

What to talk about? Umm..no idea. Garden’s stalled also, due to the job thingy, though there’ve been new people ever since I published on some of the fun little sites like The MUD Connector and MUDstats. Most of them don’t stick around. A few pop in every week or two. Others connect but never log in. It’s…slow.

Sorry, if I’m in a tired mood, but I am. Perhaps I’ll hang it up here for now and see you all again in another year!

Woo! Totally neat updates I bet!

Posted on September 13, 2011September 6, 2019 by samakhulis

Huh. Been forever, hasn’t it? Ah well. I’ve been BUSY BUSY!!

Because I like mah ICanHasCheezburger stuffs, I created a profile there. Then I found that all my comments had some really dumpy avatar, so I created a WordPress account and changed that.

Well anyway, I’ve decided to maybe possibly run a WordPress blog in parallel with this one at http://samakhun.wordpress.com/about/.

Not only that but I’ve also been encouraged to open a Digg account (via Iron Realms’s new news posty thing on their website and of course, the lure of a free credit per digg) and then on top of THAT I also got me a Tumblr account. Sheesh! I don’t even LIKE Tumblr, but there was a few profiles that were posting pictures and I wanted to follow them kinda. Though I found an RSS feed from each of those accounts and am able to follow despite having my own account there or not. Whatever..maybe I’ll just close it. If I can.

So yeah! I’m still here. Still alive and kicking.

TFG Update

Posted on April 25, 2011September 6, 2019 by samakhulis

Okay, so I assume it’d probably be worthwhile to go updating THIS old thing. There are a few things which I’ve done recently and not even mentioned!

  1. You can view blogger in a whole new way!:
    • Flipcard: available at http://samakhulis.blogspot.com/view/flipcard
    • Mosaic: available at http://samakhulis.blogspot.com/view/mosaic
    • Sidebar: available at http://samakhulis.blogspot.com/view/sidebar
    • Snapshot: available at http://samakhulis.blogspot.com/view/snapshot
    • Timeslide: available at http://samakhulis.blogspot.com/view/timeslide
  2. Huge TFG Website updates: I’ve changed the layout of the Fairy Garden website completely and done a few major updates, such as a twitter feed which I’m currently manually updating every time I make an in-game or website news post.
  3. Achaea: Congratulations to Stephine for winning the freaking April 2011 Great Hunt! OMG!!!! Now she can get her pet, right? 😉
  4. More Blogger: I’ma going to get some of the web buttons for MU*’s to put on the layout of this blog. It’ll be kinda nice to have anyway, although a little meh maybe. Lemme know what you think if you want to.

Anyway, I know it was a fairly outline-based update, but I’m still here! -Samakhulis Moonflair

Tsol’dasi…a BIG surprise

Posted on December 6, 2010September 6, 2019 by samakhulis

Favonius. What a guy! This morning, I was puzzling over the Cabal of Life, a temple in the newly-discovered city of Istarion. You can’t get into it unless you’re an initiate of the Order of Life..of course the priestess will give you a quest to do if you want to become one.

I finished THAT quest and she pointed me to another person who only spoke the local language, Tsol’dasi. And I couldn’t understand a word of it.

Later I asked Favonius about it and he said that there was a quest he did not figure out yet, but was in the process of. And he needed some help. So just tonight, I teamed up with him and we figured out the quest of the Two Trees! And you do not get hints. So HA!

What’s the prize? It’s a SUR-PRISE. But it is sooo cool. Long story short, now I’m in the process of becoming an initiate of the Order of Life, which involved first the Achaean quest and then the Tsol’dasi quest, both of which I managed to finish. I just hope this doesn’t conflict with the Divine Order of Sleep and Dreams..we’ll see. And if it does, I’ll ask my Lady to fix it for me. Hmm..I really hope it doesn’t conflict.

Sarita is now the third to learn the Tsol’dasi language, Favonius being the second.

October

Posted on October 26, 2010September 6, 2019 by samakhulis

Wowee! I haven’t posted here in quite a while. And I started about this time last year it seems. Anyway, I -would- make this longer if I had time, but I have to leave like right now. Just searching through Google for stuff on IC players. Not to cheat on quests or anything, just to read up and find stuffs. Anyway, hopefully more later!

An even newer herb guide! And more.

Posted on September 15, 2010September 6, 2019 by samakhulis

The Herb Guide is now updated to version 3! This includes a nice script that will price up groups of herbs for your shop’s stockroom. It also gives you a line to paste in for a ‘drop all groups of this type and number and price them all at the price calculated.’ Note that the cells that concatenate the paste-string together are multiple-line cells, and will be injected with quotation marks at the beginning and end, so those will need to be stripped off in a text editor before pasted into your stockroom script. Also, note that the gdrop alias I wrote is a client-side script that drops a number of groups all in a row without balance loss. This is the best thing for stockrooms, as someone can break in relatively easily if someone is inside. https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AkNBf7ic_0CMdDN3RXRPZjAzSHl2bEdLQmhDN3FiR3c&authkey=CNSwvbAI&hl=en

New Herb Guide

Posted on June 8, 2010September 6, 2019 by samakhulis

Now that Firien’s found my herb guide, I got to thinking about it a bit and came up with a great new idea! How about if I make it calculate prices by using a discount percentage!

So I did. I added another page to the price guide that will allow you to enter friend discount, house (org) discount, and everyone discount from the Oakstone minimum. And this will ripple all the way through everything in your list.

Also, I added another column that lets you set an absolute minimum you will be willing to part with the herb for. For the economist, this is a price floor. If the discount pushes the final price below the minimum, the minimum will kick in and force the price back up. Of course, this is a requirement in the case of Mending and Restoration which require Rurin-set diamond dust and a set gold value respectively.

In addition to all this, I did a few minor edits that prevent you from selecting and editing the grey areas. However, I haven’t done this for copyright reasons and so the sheet protection is without a password. In Excel, you can just Tools/Protection/Unprotect Sheet and everything will be normal.

Anyhow, these new features have been added to the whole file. The old one is still included if you don’t like the new features.

I suppose you still want it, eh?

Here it is: [<Herb Price Guide v2.xls>]

Kongregate

Posted on May 24, 2010September 6, 2019 by samakhulis

So I was playing on Kongregate a bit and ran across this link!

http://www.kongregate.com/games/kingk/dream-world?kv_refuid=99459

Yes, it’s a dumb RPG game, totally under-par with Achaea and horrible with graphics, but I find it kinda fun and I like having something easy to come to after a long hard day of losing out in Achaea or some other crazy ordeal.

Boats

Posted on April 30, 2010September 6, 2019 by samakhulis

Whee!! New boat! I bought myself (after probably a year or more of saving up) a windcutter.

I didn’t know about that neat prompt line either until I got on board for the first time and then I freaked out. And I’ve written a really neat MUSHClient miniwindow script to display all the information from the cryptic prompt into a graphical format! Lemme see. I have a screenshot around here someplace.

[<SHIPCOMPASS04.PNG>]

It’s a screenshot of a test run in the Fairy Garden where I can put my own values in and that’s why there’s 15 wind but I’m not moving at all…But in any case, that’s what it looks like!

Current goal: catch up all the deepsea bait Stephine gave me yesterday, plus the stuff I caught myself, which is like 30-40 total. And also, work crew wages down to something more reasonable (it’s at like 210g per day right now and I noticed that the house ship is super-low and the crew is happy with it anyway) without dropping below simmering mood, which is where they’re at right now.

Yay! How fun is this! 🙂
