Could you please add the following options to prompt and short score:

missingHP (MaxHP - CurrentHP)
missingEP (MaxEP - CurrentEP)
missingSP (MaxSP - CurrentSP)

It'd be useful to see how much missing sp I have to know if I should take
another tick in spr, or swap to cast gear etc, I'm sure others would find it
useful as well.
It would be rather trivial to make a trigger for that, I'm sure you know how.
(and no, I'm not commenting on whether the idea itself is feasible or not,
just pointing out the obvious)

In the English language when you use the word Trivial it
normally means "simple and pointless."

Just a heads up on that Blasterr.

I'm sorry, I can't help you if you decide to rape a word by misusing it or
just don't know the meaning.

Listen asshole, if you're too lazy to code the fucking prompt option
then say you're too lazy to code it. Don't make a sad ass attempt
at a snarky comment then fumble and missuse a word then get all
fussy about it

And sure as hell don't associate my name with bullshit

Definitions of Blackstar on the Web:
Blackstar was an American animated television series, a science fantasy story
sometimes reported as being inspired by Thundarr the Barbarian. It was
produced in 1981 by Lou Scheimer and Norm Prescott for Filmation.

Blackstar is a British heavy metal band, formed as a retooling of the band
Carcass in 1995 without Bill Steer along with former Cathedral guitarist Mark
Griffiths. The band name comes from a Carcass song off the Swansong 1996
album. Thus far they have released only a single album.

Blackstar is the reported codename of a secret United States orbital
spaceplane system. The possible existence of the Blackstar program was
reported in March 2006 by Aviation Week & Space Technology (Aviation Week,
AWST) magazine; the magazine reported that the program had been underway since
at least the early 1990s, and that the impetus for Blackstar was to allow the
United States Government to retain orbital reconnaissance capabilities
jeopardised following the 1986 Challenger disaster. The article also said that
the United States Air Force's Space Command was unaware of Blackstar,
suggesting it was operated by an intelligence agency such as the National
Reconnaissance Office.

But it's true, the only posts you ever make are pure BlackStar as seen in this
thread. Also, I don't really care if you rape the spoken english like the
cockmunches like you usually do, just don't hold it against me if I know more
meanings to words than you bother to learn. For example, 'cock' isn't just the
limp member attached to your crotch.

Regardless of what it's definition of trivial is, it's subjective anyway. What
codemonkey wizards and long time players find trivial will different vastly
from people who have never even touched triggers before. Now I'm not about to
argue that the feature in question is critical to have, or that clueless
newbies and such would need it, but dismissing something as trivial simply
because it is trivial to YOU seems a bit shortsighted. I'm niether here nor
there on the whole batmud becomming flowermud thing, but if the idea that we
are trying to become more newbie friendly is true, I don't think it prudent to
just throw away an idea like that.

I understand the whole "Would you rather have us coding useless features you
could make triggers for yourself, or coding new guilds and areas" argument,
but niether new guilds nor new areas are going to bolster our player base. The
problem in my experience hasn't been attracting new players, it's been keeping
them. I'm sure having to fiddle about writing triggers to play at a level
playing field to others is a turn off, even if the triggers aren't hard to
write. Anything that adds that kind of fuctionality into the actual game is a
boon for the mud (for example, show effects).

And as long as we're playing with semantics:
"...sure as hell don't associate my name with bullshit christ"

I'm not sure what's your point there :).
