Dwoggurd's logs looked a bit like a Christmas three because they had so many colours. Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to develop the game in terms of accomodating the functioning of third party triggers. Sure, larger colour selection makes it easier to colour echoes, but I think that sufficient highlighting for the MUD's needs can be done with the 16 Ansi colours.

As for Dwoggurd's highlights, I don't consider them crap. However, I've read enough threads and reviews that mention MUD colours to know that highlights like Dwoggurd's aren't something that every player would want to see in a MUD. It's simply too much colour for some people and thus useful as an addon for those who prefer such colouring. I think that such addons should be developed in the terms of the game and not the other way around (I might find some of the m useful, but wouldn't want just to add his whole package to my client as is). Thus, I regard Dwoggurd's request for the game to better accomodate for his triggers as absurd. I simply think that Dwoggurd updating his highlights is the best solution for the highlight problem.

>When did you ever bring ANYTHING useful to the community?

I've done some page updating and forum moderating in Dio's back in the day when I played actively and added my own part to Wiki maps and such things. Don't be a ####.
