Where's My Cow?

We had a wandering mob problem, a command misunderstanding, and hilarity ensued. See, the MUD has an inter-MUD chat which allows admins to communicate with other MUDs and get help on code and such. Nev was editing the code for the color scheme of the MUD - making exits all green, objs all yellow etc. At some point, after I'd purged the one mob I couldn't stand - that damned fighter that just won't die - I realized that we didn't have a mob to test colors. So I said, "We need a mob..." and Nev went off evilly and fetched the fighter, of all things, which I promptly purged. Eventually, he loaded up a random cow, because this testroom we were building was turning out pretty wacky, and it just needed a cow. Anyway, while he was editing the code, the cow up and wandered off...

> say er, where's my cow?
You ask in Common, "Er, where's my cow?"

Nevrei shrugs.

SYSTEM [Nevrei@Ethereal Dreams seeks cow]

You laugh.

Nevrei says in Common, "Oop."

Nevrei says in Common, "Don't type locate."

You say in Common, "LOL."

Afterward, we loaded up another cow and spent a while chasing it around before we finally gave up on the sillyness and I purged it. We didn't need TWO cows randomly wandering around the MUD. But, as Nev pointed out, he /was/ very specific over inter-MUD about seeking a cow.


...the problem with having such an awesome coder running the MUD is that the builders are spoiled rotten. And lazy to boot.

You say in Common, "I don't know how to make mobs or objs."

You grin.

Nevrei says in Common, "The manual does."

You say in Common, ";P."

Nevrei says in Common, "You may have purged it ;)."

You say in Common, "But it's so much easier to just ask you."

You laugh.

Nevrei says in Common, "Ah, but you're assuming I know ;)."

Of course, since we're both still figuring out the commands, pestering him doesn't work as well as it does for codestuff. ;)
