Priests Guild Update

Greetings faithfulls!

This in an updated version of the guild update published in Novemer '98. There's been a few more changes, but these have mainly cosisted of bug fixing And are therefor not readily visable to the players. Still the turtle moves on, and Mansarde continues in his quest for the perfect guild (i thought this was it really..)

These pages will be updated continuesly, so bookmark this page and keep check in regularly if you are interested in what's going on.

Errors

A lot of errors (nearly all of them in fact) in the guild is now fixed. These ranged from simple typos and missing item descriptions to the more advanced.

Rituals/Commands

The following rituals are coded and put into Playtesting:

Mend (Gapp)

Farsight (Gapp)

Agoraphobia (Sandelfon)

Breath Underwater (fish)

The following rituals are recoded or fixed in various ways:

Holy Weapon

Minor Shield

Major Shield

The Ward rituals

Exciting new elementals and multi-priest ritual/service/ceremony type thingies are being planned.

There are also several (rather a lot in fact) ideas running about for new rituals, and some of them are suggested by the players. When these will be done and ready for your priestly pleasure is hard to say, but rest assured, -new rituals will come. :)

These election and High Preist/Priestess commands are now in the game and working great:

Resign

Withdraw

Invest

The command "resign" is beeing coded so it will work for every holder of every position in every guild.

Another command ais also being worked on. This is:

Dismiss

Ministers and High Priests/Priestesses

The tasks that are assigned to the ministers are not yet finished but is comming along rather nicely. Hopefully we will see this happen sometime soon as it will mean great posibilites for this allready wonderful guild.
Special abilities for the ministers are being worked on to make these positions even more attractive. I will come back to this at a later date, so be patientient.

Most of you have probably noticed how the new election results are shown on the guild board. This is yet another new feature.

Temples

Currently we are working on a new temple for Pishe which eventually will be placed on the Isle of Gods in Ankh-Morpork. Ideas are being gathered and plans are being made, but it'll be a while before we see it. Temples on other parts of the disc are also in the planning stages, but are quite far off as some of these places are not even in the game yet. :)

The temple theft in AM problem is finally fixed, and all the deities are now safe from unlicenced stealing. Maybe that will help the priests and priestesses on shop duty stock up more of those much needed holy artifacts. Some more anti-theft-in-temples stuff is also being planned.

The rotas have also changed slightly, and are now listing High Priests and ministers in addition to the deities priests.

Mansarde is also working on some small vaults for the temples, a safe place for priests to leave things for each other. (other priests of the same deity, that is). This we might see very, very, soon. :)

That's all for now faithfulls.

Your representatives on Cori Celesti:
Mansarde, Raffi, Akane and Pingu
