> Disclaimer: I've never logged onto Pantheon. I don't even know if they still exist. Last I heard they'd been up for a few years and were still calling it a beta to deflect criticism. If they do, I'm not looking to get into a which is better debate. Vote by playing the mud of your choice, whichever it might be.

> Around the time the first batch o' folks left CF to get Pantheon going (many of them failed or rejected CF heroimms, but to be fair they were a pretty good bunch, all around), there was a thief discussion going on at Glimo's. One of our imms (Scarabaeus, if I'm not mistaken) posted around 6-8 thief skill ideas as an example of a direction you could take the thief class in.

> A day or two later one of the Pantheon folks posted in response saying that they liked those ideas and had immediately implemented them. It was a "Ha ha! Our coder figured out how to do it already!" kind of post, but again in fairness I doubt it was any more adversarial than this post of mine is turning out to be. :P I assume sometime later they reached the point of asking "Should we add this? How does this affect the rest of the game? Is this balanced?" before asking "Do we know how to do this?"
