In Reply to: Hey DUMBASS!! When you steal code off another mud, at least give them some credit. He got this idea from ROPmud (rop.ropmud.com) (n/t) posted by Guy Lafleur on September 17, 2000 at 04:03:12:
> > Okay It might just be me, but there was a post below about a multi socket roller, and how there has been a increase in the use of them. Is this like a suttle hint to Immortals ? That Character creation is just becomeing a massive waste of time. When it should be alot easier.

> > 2) - What is the point of rolling stats ? Yes it is supposed to introduce Varience, But does it really ?
> > - Every player I know who roles by hand or trigger rolls for next to perfect stats. No stupid moron in their right mind is going to take a stat that is less than 15. (perhaps except charisma)
