I think it's a minigame in the game called Idle Iktah, which is available on both Ios and Android. On Jan 7, 2024 4:49 PM, Maureen McEntee wrote: > > Hi a few days ago, someone asked a question about a game called beat > the bear, is it an ios game? and what exactly is it? Thanks > > > > >

The map and item database need to be downloaded separately, running bash/install.sh should handle that. If that doesn't work, bash/update.sh might fix it. On 07-01-2024 19:40, Jude DaShiell wrote: I got map not loaded as a reply, apparently a map needs loading. -- Jude "There are fou

Your best option for now is probably to get a "yellow stone ring", sold in a stall on market street. It gives off light when worn, but consumes a bit of GP every now and then. On 07-01-2024 21:29, Jude DaShiell wrote: Sometimes light sources work and sometimes light sources don't work. I can

Ahh, that makes sense. Both magical and real-world effects can be quite fickle in the novels, too. If I recall correctly. It does strike me as odd that you have to have communicators, talker bracelets in this game, to interact with channels. It sounds like that could make things difficult for lo

There's talker bracelets that can talk on different channels and I got one of these earlier. I found my way into apothecary garden. Couldn't find the vestry which is where you become a priest though. I did go through a wire door and ended up in a completely different city and checked out a dock a

Is there an equivalent ! the Gossip or Questinfo channels on this mud? If so, I'd drop a message on one or both and see what other players or admins have to say. That's another avenue in addition to this list, of course. On Jan 7, 2024 11:32 AM, Jude DaShiell wrote: > > What can be done to find

I've never played DiscWorld so this may be a very noob question, but can't you carry a light source of some kind so you don't have to wait for daybreak to do whatever you're trying to do? I ask because, if time runs as quickly in Discworld as it does in Alter, you'll have to move fast once it do
