5207, Chinese-Theran
Posted by Leaf on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
A small book catches your eye, its title being "Zhuge Liang's Chinese-Theran Dictionary".

l dictionary
As you flip open the dictionary, it falls open to a well-read page...

Tian -> Heavenly sky
Can -> Mystical web
Shen -> Special
Gong -> Force
Ni -> You
Wo -> Me
Gan -> Dare
Dou -> Fight
Kan -> See
Si -> Die
Gou -> Dog
Yan Se -> color
Qi Dao -> Pray
Jiu Ming -> Help!
Pang Pai -> Cabal
Jing Cha -> Justice
Ruan Dang -> Entropy
Tan Dang -> Shadow
Shen Shi -> Master
Zhan Shi -> Battle
Yong Shi -> Knight
Shen Xian -> Immortal
Fa Lao Sao -> Whining

Plus the manual there.

Now, I'm normally not a stickler for real life things in CF, but this is a bit far off from what CF is. I'm fine with languages, so long as its languages related to the game. And taking this out keeps in the theme of making CF all-original.

Also, please, no one take this as a slight at anyone, especially not the IMM staff. I took a 6-month hiatus and came back to find all sorts of new, fun things. I love all the changes, and I realize that time is a commodity, and that there are all sorts of things going on in the backround that take up the time here.

Now, if this is on the slate for things that need redone, ignore me completely.
5221, Zhuge-Liang still rocks balls though, if you know his history. nt

Yup. That section already has minor Under Construction flags stuck in the ground, for exactly the reasons you've put forward.

5213, Exactly,

It and still a few areas yet are still stock,
However I am sure we will have the pleasure of checking out new areas in their place that are more CFesk
5214, Emerald isn't stock.

Since Sabiene's second area (well, half-area) went in, all of our areas were written for CF. Versions of Emerald Forest have appeared on other MUDs (often those which are, ahem, inspired by Carrion Fields) since it was opened here (in accordance with its license, which permits that) although we've also tweaked our original version in that time. After the next round of changes, it should shine a bit more.

We've since taken steps towards making sure any new areas which are added to Carrion Fields don't have that sort of license. We pride ourselves on our uniqueness, and we'd like to avoid having to constantly swap our areas in the future.
