Parrots event:
Each player gets a parrot. That parrot will follow them around, logging the
contents of all says/tells/channel messages the player receives. At random
times the parrots will send says/tells/channel messages to random
players/channels/friendslists with the contents of the message chosen randomly
from the logged messages. (something like: Ayli's parrot [bat] accept
ress/rais/body(27%) from <tarmalen>) Attempting to kill a parrot will summon
the parrot goddess (maybe 10-100k or so), who will have to be defeated before
the innocent parrot can be slain. Perhaps the goddess can have a small chance
to drop some nifty eq with a totally useless special (maybe +some emote, or
+curse someone with an unkillable parrot (max one at a time)

-- Ayli (send flames to Tiamat, I hear it's hungry for mortals)

Isn't this straightly copied from ZombieMUD?

... and we used to have that event on batmud... so either, once again
zombie copied us, or that event, which is quite dumb i might add, was some
kind of standard part of all lpmud\'s at the time


Well I say we used to have the event, we did have it, but it didn\'t
have the parrot goddes stuff :) and maybe it was even an event, but anipa
or jaf or someone defintely had some kind of parrot things that would
follow people around repeating says as I remember them back in 1992 when i
started playing
