<message snipped> -- it was getting way long..
cutting down on bandwidth and all..
To help with immortals cheating you could do a few things.
1. Don't just advance someone to builder status. We have a rule
on Zombie that you have to become an immortal by making it
to level 100, then you have to ask to become an immortal. Then
if you do get accepted (voted into by the imm staff), you lose that
level 100 character and all equipment assoc. w/ that character.
A. the person is more likely to be loyal because they've been on
the mud a longer time and,
B. They will know the mud, thus making the person a better builder.
2. Set up formulas that will make mobs have specific exp for their level or
a
range of exp for their level (in olc). This works for hps, ac,
hitroll, damroll
etc...People might argue that it limits builders' imagination, but
with ranges
for each stat, it keeps the game balanced.
3. Log all olc commands for each immortal and log immortal wiz commands.
A pain in the butt, but if you tell the imms that it's being done, the
likely hood
of cheating is reduced.
The bottom line is, whatever works for you....
