That can can have a devastating effect on your Charm Points for sure.  Have
you tried asking your sysop to disable the Ugly Stick from occurring?  If
he does not know how to do it, have him contact me or Michael Preslar.

Michael can be reached here in this echo, in DoorGames echo, via email at
mike{at}lordlegacy.com, and via other methods listed on his web-site at
http:///www.michaelpreslar.com/.  People can reach me in the same echoes,
and via email at ktidmore{at}bellsouth.net.

You need to tell your sysop that its time for him to upgrade to the
official release of LORD v4.07.  It was distributed on June 07, 2006, and
be obtained at the http://www.lordlegacy.com web-site.  You can also tell
him that LORD v4.08 is now in beta.  He can learn how to get it by
contacting Michael Preslar via email or Fidonet echo mail.

Regarding increasing your Charm Points, have you reviewed strategies for
doing so on the http://kiteria.lordlegacy.com web-site yet? It is a
MUST-SEE site for anyone who plays LORD.  Besides me, Michael Preslar, and
Suzanne Franklin, few others have as extensive a knowledge of Lord tips and
tricks.

Depending on which IGMs your LORD game is running, each one of a large
number has various events that raise Charm.  Of course, you also run the
risk of losing Charm.  But risk of LOSING something is the price you pay,
other than BBS time usage, when you enter an IGM.

Get me a list of the IGMs your BBS Lord game has running and I'll give you
some instructions on how to use them to raise your Charm Points.

Also download my Lord Tips archive from my web-site and read over its text
pages.  http://www.fidotel.com/public/camelot/dgt-lord.zip . Donald

BTW, pretty much everything on the Kiteria's Korner site is fully
applicable to LORD for Windows, LORD for OS/2, and LORD for Linux.
