She has no plan.

Few days ago Delveling had some troubles with Lythlandria and he got thrown out from her castle (Lythlandria's version here). Since then he has been on a war path against Lythlandria and today Delveling tried to convince me to move out from Lythlandria's castle. I refused since in my opinion Lythlandria has been a good land lord enough. Her rules are quite strict but they are clear. As long as you don't cause trouble to other players (like pkilling them or raiding their castles and stealing stuff) and follow the rules of Batmud (type "help rules" in bat), you can live in her castle. Of course if you have habit to pkill people for fun or do extensive robotting like Bisqwit (did), you should live in some other place. Eviction from Lythlandria's castle is quite harsh since Lythlandria keeps your eqs, but in the most cases you can buy your eqs back from her (not very bad if you really need your stuff back and after all it was your own fault because you broke the rules).

Personally I live in two (or four actually) places. I have my own castle, then I have one room in Lythlandria's castle, one room in Dawnhill and one room in Atlantis. I have divided my stuff around so if one place gets raided or something bugs I don't lose everything. One eqset per place, so I probably need to reinc if I want to play with eqs. Of course my eqs are mostly from 60k-300k monsters so I can do them back as a channeller in few weeks if I really want to.

If someone would ask from me where is a good place to live I would still recommend Lythlandria's place, since the rent is cheap, Lythlandria isn't stupid and can keep things with her castle in order and lets you concentrate on playing (okok, Lythlandria has quite strong opinions about things and many people don't agree with her, but it doesn't matter actually). Another place would be Stainedsoul's and Bahumat's Fightclub. A room from Fightclub is cheaper for newbies (free if you don't have too much exp) and it is hard to find person who is more friendly than Stainedsoul, but Lythlandria provides better security and better location (Bat-Suburbs is few southwest from south crossing) and in her city you won't be bored :).

Oops, quite long entry, well atleast some regen fodder :P

I rewrote my exp plaque routines using Ruby. The most common queries should be little faster now (they are cached). If the new version bugs, you can find the old plaque from here (both use same database, so they have same data).

Bisqwit (again) whined that I never mention my freezes here.

Mudax decided to freeze at the end of december, so I wanted to support him:

freeze me 30 Support Mudax, Juo & Slobber
You enter a freezer and the door slowly closes. You feel your body tingle
as the cold sets in. Surprisinly there is no pain. A dizziness overcomes
you, and you drift awaaaaayyyy...

My freeze is soon over, but Slobber wants me to freeze again with him as soon as my current freeze ends, hmm :)

And how many times I have been frozen last year? Here is the list:3.1.2002(30d), 9.2.2002(30d), 14.3.2002(27d), 17.4.2002(30d), 9.10.2002(22d), 4.11.2002(30d), 29.12.2002(30d) = 199d :)
