Well-come all Rogues and Ruffians, Brigands and Bandits, Miscreants and Malcontents to "Where the Shadows Are." Need to feel a bit of Thiefly brotherhood? Get up to date on the latest Thief issues, or just bored out of your wits waiting for a juicy mark to pass by? You've come to the right place. Well, hopefully. I don't guarantee that by visiting here you'll no longer be bored out of your wits, but it's -something- to do at least.

This site, is, alas, no longer updated. It is extremely out of date, but I think it is nevertheless somewhat amusing. It's at least a fun look at what the thief guild was like in what I still consider its heyday.

Yours,

The Player of Lorzelophia

Yes, I know, I've been slacking! I haven't been playing that much lately, honestly, but I have updated the news page. This page is still being updated, just not quite as diligently as it was, perhaps, updated in the past. But not to worry, you can still find all of the latest Thiefly news here.

Update - 041102

Updates, updates, updates. There have been guru updates! But alas, no news from the actual Thief Guru, Royce. The items are, however, of interest to Thieves specifically -- you should check them out. The Policy page has been updated accordingly. ;-)

Update - 033102

The links page has officially been updated for the first time in the history of this website! Alas, it has seen the demise of some of the better links, but I have added more to replace those who have fallen. Additionally, there has been work on the in-town bestiary! :gasp:! There have been, however few events updates and even fewer annoucements from Royce. Hopefully there will be more Thiefly news to report soon...

Update - 032102

I have completely re-done the code page, to make it a bit more interesting and a bit more detailed. Hopefully this will help present the old code as something that is really alive and kicking instead of a dusty old fossil from the bygone days of yore.

Additionally, there have been a couple of news and events updates, as per the usual. Check them out.

Update - 030402

I have finally pried myself away from DragonRealms: The Fallen long enough to update the site! TF is loads of fun. As far as updates go, just the usual news and things.

Also, I added a suggestions form to the news area -- I'm hard up for ideas, really (except for finishing the in-town bestiary which I am still dutifully procrastinating...) so if you have anything you'd like see added, fill in the form and send it my way.

Update - 022402

Not many updates lately. But there hasn't been much happening. Sniping, tra la la.

I added some more jokes to the jests page, though. Maybe if I get -really- bored I'll finish the in-town Bestiary? :-P

Update - 012902

Fun with Javascript! Check out the new Thief Trivia Game. I had actually given up on finding a manageable CGI script for a trivia type game, and here some brilliant person has concocted a Javascript for it. Huzzah!

Additionally, the search has been updated to search the ADDR site and not the SPHOSTING one. (D'oh!)

Also, you can click the above <points up> links to get either a site map or a 'what's new page' that shows recent updates. The search/site-map/what's new should be updated every Thursday. (Best to check on Friday though, the thing is slow.)

On top of that, I fixed the link to Micwolf's Site which had the guild requirements listed. I've noted a lot of searches have been going through for 'requirements' and 'circle' and 'advancing.' That should help out a bit.

Dear Crabby has been updated, as well as a new script added to Policy.

And there was much rejoicing.

Update - 012102

There have been updates, but none really worth noting down. (Just the usual news and events updates.) Recently, it has come to my attention that neither of the ambushing scripts work correctly. They USED to, this I know. Apparently some of the combat messanging changed and they got all messed up. They should be fixed now, so have at them!

Additionally, I added a few other scripts for your convenience. The scripts can be found under the Policy section. Be sure to read the scripting policy before you use them, though.

Also, the submit page wasn't working because of a capitalization error <rolls eyes> it's fixed now, feel free to flame me via e-mail through it all you like.

Lastly, I've been working on an in-town bestiary that documents all the in-town creatures and has Thiefly information (boxes, backstabbable, special abilities, etc.) as opposed to the barbarian-oriented one on the website. It's coming slowly, though, I'm having trouble getting up the gumption to wander around all those far-flung places. (M'riss...aww, do I -have- to?)

Update - 122001

The website has moved! And hopefully the navigational frame will no longer get all funky. Anyway, the new site is here. (http://www.thieves.addr.com)

The Sphosting pages will no longer be updated, so please update all links accordingly. (This shouldn't be a problem unless you've been breaking out of the frames and just viewing specific pages...)

Update - 121101

There just hasn't been much happening of late. I've applied for a domain name for this thing, but it seems slow to go through. (It's been a couple of weeks...)

I'm hoping to get some new features put in for the new 'grand opening' thingy on the new domain name, but I don't seem to have a knack for CGI scripting -- these things are giving me fits. <grins>

We'll see. At any rate. Updates? Well, I've made some cosmetic changes, that's about it though. No new announcements, no big news...

Update - 120301

Something amazing has happened. Absolutely incredible. There has been...

...an announcement from Royce!

Dun dun DUN!

The Guild Guru announcements bit has been updated accordingly! Go ahead and gawk at it. You know you want to.

Additionally, I added Kapi's Stealing Tips to the events/articles area in the news, and also posted in the Theft area. Thank you Kapi for sharing those with us all.

Update - 113001

A few updates:

Boxes: Added some more new traps (to the trap-logs) and brought the 'box-levels' section in line with the Locksmith Union's.
Updated a little in the News section.

The biggest news, however, is this:

I have found a new host for my website! Huzzah! No more pop ups, no banners, I have CGI access and other nifty goodies. And there was much rejoicing.

I'm reluctant to make this move official, however, without fiddling around with the new one a bit to verify that their servers aren't down a lot or insanely slow, etc., etc.. So we'll see.

Update - 112701

A few updates to the boxes page:

Link to the Locksmith Union.
Tighter format.
Naphtha trap added to 'blown trap' logs.

Additionally, I added a few things to the abilities page, if you notice.

There's been no real Thiefly news of late, but that doesn't mean the page isn't being updated. Have a look-see.

Update - 112301

I have added a feature, now, where you can submit an article to be added to this website under various topics. Hopefully this will add a much-needed interactive feel to this place. I try to keep everything as up to date as I may, but I'm sure to miss things. So...submit something! I know you all have wonderful things to say. Mmm hmm.

Oh, and for those of you wondering where the issues page went -- you can still get to the Thief issues from the news page. The issues page itself was redundant, so I replaced its place on the navigational bar with the submit page.

Update - 111401

In addition to the periodic news and events updates (which I don't bother to note here as they are quite frequent -- at least lately) ...due to submissions from many Thieves on the message boards, there are now actually -jokes- in the jests section. Heaven forbid! I hope you find them as amusing as I do. (Thanks to Schvartzgonif, Kapi, Izude, Soim and Phixius!)

Update - 110101

I added a speech by Zoura to the speeches section, and I moved the updates bit to the main starting page so they will be more easily accessable. I'll probably tweak a few more things while I'm messing around with the site...I'm really hard up for ideas so if you have anything you think would be a nice addition please do get in touch with me.

Update - 102101

Well, the site has finally gotten some much needed updates. The news and events have finally been updated. Rather than doing only Thief events in the events part, I decided to report on current events with a Thief slant -- IE, horses making stealing harder, changes to combat that might affect Thieves, etc.

I'll be hopefully finishing up the Theft Roleplayer's Index sometime soon...I accidentally uploaded part of it before it was finished, in addition to that I haven't been checking my form e-mail address AT ALL. Oops...I guess I'll do that today, as well. I'm honestly a little afraid to look...hee...anyway, that's that from me.

Update - 90901

I've had a a day off, so of course, rather than actually PLAYING DR, I've been messing around with my website. I finally added a search capability, and it rocks. I highly reccomend it -- it seems very fast and very efficient. And it's free. It don't get much better dan dat, folks. (Freefind.)

I have a few updates planned, in addition to the search engine...hopefully I can get in touch with Crabby and get that part updated, as well as some Thief events. We'll just see.

Update - 90801

After leaving DR for about two months (hence no updates for a while) I have come crawling back. (Of course.) So I have begun updating again (after chasing off most of my audience with a letter saying no more updates. ;-D) Anyway, removed the Bank Perception issue bit as it is no longer pertinent, and replaced it with the "stealing system" issue, which seems to be the "big complaint" of the month. Some other changes also, but nothing terribly significant.

Update - 71401

Found a bit of a secrecy flaw in one of the speeches. Oops! Fixed that, hopefully there aren't any more. The speech was given in front of a Thief-only audience originally and so was a bit freer in the secrecy department than content on a site that is available to all should be. And that's that. Nyah.

Update - 70801

No truly significant changes of late. A few new announcements, a bit of rambling, but I've been a bit distant from DR lately and have only been updating as is needed. (New announcement from Royce or a significant event, etc.) Still looking for a few traps to blow up with my poor pet newbie slave. (Ua ha ha.) I'll add those as I find them. >;-D

Update - 62301

I have finally (mostly) finished the combat section. Joy and glee and happiness. Added a couple new traps to the traps section (as well as corrected an oversight or two.) Also added a new announcement by Jovah. Basically I've just been tweaking things a lot. Far too much to go into. Yes, I have way too much free time. Combat is the only significant change.

Update - The first

And now my website is finally published. There are bits and pieces missing here and here, but I will be filling them in as I go. Right now I'm still de-bugging and checking to see if all of the links/graphics/etc work. Never mind spelling and all of that. If you notice any glaring mistakes, please don't hesistate to contact me.

And where he dwelleth none can say;
