[Idea 179] Kaern: flying message
Sun Nov 15 13:23:52 1998
To: all
Flying is an exhilarating sport, soaring majestically through the air
an incredible experience...even when it's casted and you're indoors!
The bland message "Kaern now can fly" (eww!) should be changed to
something more interesting like "Kaern bumps his head trying to fly
in here!" or whatever...
Mud Mentions:
Amongst the Seals and Walruses [Exits: east south west (up)] A sign is stuck in the sand. A walrus lies on the warm sand. A seal lies on the warm sand. A seal lies on the warm sand.
