Blasterr was promoted to the respectful rank of Warlock for his achievements.

Qazar is no longer a wizard (due to his own personal request). BatMUD thanks him for his contributions to the game.

Woozer removed for using another player's character (without consent, though that is not so relevant).

Today is the Presidential election day in Finland, and consequently also the last day to Vote for the candidate of your personal preference. Many claim that the President has little power as of today, however, he (or she) does nominate many important officials in the Finnish power structure. BatMUD administration encourages everyone of taking a little time today to go and vote, besides it's a nice day outside. (Right this time :))

Melemkor has been promoted to level 120 for his outstanding work and designs in the current known projects; and also due to some yet unveiled works.

An old bug in preparser was fixed and some people's builtin commands were set off. "set builtin on" will fix that.

Dewberry has been granted a 7-day vacation to think about how making rl threats against wizards isn't funny. Re: "help politeness" at least.

Kawasa, Venkelos and Bazil were removed.
