Eniac CIMP statue item creation quest

[ching]

Eniac is giving everybody a chance to propose an item for his statue to load.
This is very much like the Patience quest, except we know the where, but not the what.
So, make it a computer type item (something very tech.)
Examples a light could be a vacuum tube, head gear could be a HUD visor, etc.
Eniac will make this an assembly item, so it will not load directly, but you will have to get at least some of the items from his statue.
This quest is for the final item (wearable location, item stats, description.)
If you add a really good story for the background that will help.

Eniac will decide the winner.
Post your suggestions on this Web Board as a reply.
The contest will close with the end of September.

Just got back into the states so I'll be writing something here soon. Do you want absolutely no suggestions for the components, just the final item itself?

Just the final item itself.

Item - USB Flash Drive

Descriptions - Worn - USB Flash Drive
- Inventory - USB Flash Drive
- Ground - You see a USB Portable Memory Stick attached to a lanyard in the Dirt.

Keywords - USB Memory Stick Flash Drive

Stats - +1 Damroll, +5 Mana Regen

Worn - On Neck

Not much of a story to this really but I figured all good coders would have a few of those portable usb memory sticks with vital programs and such on it.

I gave it the stats that it has because for one: Eniac is Kicking ass!(+1 Damroll), and two, the work that Eniac has done so far has helped with regenerating Jedimud's player base(+5 mana regen). I think it makes sense and makes an even better item.

LoL good item - funny reasoning.

I would hate for Eniac to only have a couple of objects to choose from, so here’s another option.

girth mithril skull~
A gleaming girth crafted from links of the finest mithril, some
inconsiderate soul has festooned it with the bleached skulls
of former JediMUD coders. Each of the skulls peers rather
indignantly back at you, glowing embers burning in their empty
eye sockets. You can see the wizened old skulls of Torg and
Onivel, who brought forth the world from darkness. The skull
of Ras looks distracted, as if his mind was really somewhere
else. Aramina’s skull is decorated with the faintest trace of
colors. Destroyer’s skull is cracked where he landed upon his
head in one of his fabled drunken revels. Steppin’s skull grins
unrepentant. The skull of the old one known as Noghri is small,
doubtless a side effect of his dwarven heritage. Unicorn’s
bleached skull has a hole above the brow where someone has
removed his signature adornment. Kaeli's skull looks especially
evil, with strands of wiry hair embedded directly into the bone.
Each of these fetishes brings with it a certain amount of raw
power. It must have taken a great deal of time and patience to
assemble this set of dusty, forgotten relics.

Why this item? Just a reminder of where we have come from. May Eniac’s tenure be as long and fruitful as those of his illustrious predecessors!

I can't believe I initially forgot to put Kaeli's on there. Apologies, Krista.... please don't have me killed!

[nikkon]

I like Roykyn's idea on the flash drive... great reasoning and funny name. Eniac has done a $hit load of work for JediMud and is greatly appreaciated... I hope this item gets implamented!

[eniac]

I am wanting at least 1 more submission... this is pretty easy guys for a chance at a good prize.

Comfortable Loafers

Worn leather loafers are sitting on the ground.

These loafers look extremely comfortable and very well worn. Made of soft brown leather with lambskin lining, they would make your feet comfortable and could easily help you concentrate on whatever project you may be working on at the time.


No story line or anything like that. This is based on an idea that Mulch had sent me in game to give us something not quite as good as pslipps. Maybe i missed the mark, but it is just an idea.

The thought behind the item is that whenever i am working long hours on a computer that i really like to be comfortable....so shouldn't eniac want to be all nice, warm, and comfy as well? just my 3 cents...for whatever its worth!

Item: The Coder Finger Sleeve

Description: This titanium encased magnet ring is made from magnetized titanium and fits snuggly like a finger sleeve to give the wearer an energized level to code the most amazing of muds. When worn the coder automatically gets a heightened sense of creativity and relief from repetitive stress injury from the most stressful hours on the keyboard.

On the floor: A titanium encased magnet loop lies here awaits it's owner.

Stats: 5mregen 2wis 5ac

Story: We always see Eniac either online/invis working hours on end improving the mud coding/decoding and fixing bugs after bugs. The finger sleeves will help him relief from hours of keyboard stress.

From the laboratories of the company always seeking to improve the lives of adventurers, Jelsontronix INC. is extremely proud to present its newest creation.

Behold!

The Jelsontronix Taser Rifle!

* * *

a Jelsontronix Taser Rifle

A yellow striped, black rifle lies here crackling with power.

Modeled after various blaster and phaser rifles, this weapon has been created by the finest minds at Jelsontronix INC. Three feet long and crafted from a mix of heavy black plastic and steel, the taser rifle is a sleek hybrid of durability and portability. A sturdy stock fits comfortably against the shoulder and a black nylon strap makes for easy carrying while the contoured handle provides a secure grip. Bands of bright yellow circle both the barrel and the stock, making the rifle easily recognizable. The Jelsontronix Taser Rifle was designed to first incapacitate then kill an enemy with repeated electric shocks. Upon squeezing the trigger, the rifle discharges a bolt of energy anywhere from 25000 to a staggering 100000 volts of electricity directly into the target's body. Drawing its power from a massively charged energy crystal "borrowed" from Froboz Industries, the Jelsontronix Taser Rifle is capable of continuous, rapid fire. A lightweight laser sight mounted beneath the barrel considerably increases the accuracy of the rifle without throwing off the balance.


A small warning tag beneath the stock reads: Jelsontronix INC. is in no way accountable for any electrocutions, paralysis, deaths and/or any other injuries resulting from the use or misuse of this weapon. By reading this label, Jelstontronix INC. absolves itself of all legal responsibilities.

"Jelsontronix -- making life better for the contemporary adventurer."

Weapon - 4d8 ml24 !classrests +5 Hitroll

Story: If you really need one... it can be used to taser annoying people who repeatedly pester Eniac to give clerics dhit, reboot the mud, etc.

Author's Note: This weapon would also be ideal for adding the elemental property of lightning or a stun proc should they ever be implemented. Should such procs be added, a toning down of the dice would be recommended.

Throw of Electrical currents


Story:

Wind is howling, the snow is falling hard, the clock strikes the witching hour and 12 bongs flow through the silence. Into view pads a solemn figure, bowed down by life's responsibilities. He seeks escape from the world for a few hours and as his hands run over his computer a smile comes to his lips. Slowly he spins the zero gravity chair around picking up a throw blanket. This is no ordinary blanket for its has wires and electric current flowing across his. He drapes the throw around his body and oozes back into this chair. With a few quick plugs into the throw he leans back. Then Eniac powerful mind takes over and code flys through his thoughts, tingles along his senses, and the electrical currents transmit those thoughts to the vitural world. Suddenly those thoughts become reality.

Item:

Throw of electrical currents

Description:

A warm throw blanket lies oustretched in your hands. You notice a few electrical plugs line its exterior (electrical plugs?). You touch the outter fabric and your hand snaps back as a shock flows through you hand. You realize the entire outside of this throw is electrical wiring with a low level current flowing through it. What could this be for?

On ground: A weird blanket with wires lie here.

A gray ribbon belt

This stylish yet practical belt is the epitome of geek chic. It is fashioned from a gray IDE ribbon cable which connects components in electrical devices together. It dissembles easily and quickly for those computer connectivity emergencies. The titanium belt buckle is highly durable and is engraved in detail. This feature, while visually appealing, also leaves a rather fetching imprint on the faces of your enemies when the belt is used in close quarter combat.

[Iolanthe, your fairy godmother]

Before the age of men, the gods prepared themselves for the task of creating an Earth filled with playthings to entertain them. But they preferred to let machines do the work of engineering a world fit for their folly and birthed a massive machine exquisitely suited to the task. Behold ENIAC! All 30 tons of metal, glass, and silicon, whirring and clicking away amidst the clouds to make a staggering 385 mathematical operations per second! And as the gods celebrated the prospect of new things to play with, they began to get drunk, so drunk that in the perception of men it would take many thousands of years for them to sleep off their grog...

But ENIAC continued as programmed. Calculating, calculating, calculating. Until millennia later... DING! ENDTASK. As it was programmed to do, ENIAC succeeded in creating this world of rich beauty and diversity we’ve come to know: men, dwarves, elves, animals, fishes, and the other creatures we know, plants, mountains, and oceans.

As time passed and the world grew into itself, a lone human hunter came upon ENIAC and knelt before it in wonder. “What manner of creature are you?” the hunter asked. ENIAC responded, “100111010101110101.” And joyful of its success in following its program so faithfully, ENIAC slowly opened a silver panel on its side to present the hunter with a gift befitting the only creature on Earth with the courage to ascend the highest mountains to seek out ENIAC’s wisdom. The hunter reached inside of ENIAC, carefully digging among the worn machinery, to find a simple metal box adorned with smooth rosewood beads. “What magic is this?” the hunter wondered silently, and tucked the box into his satchel as he bowed to ENIAC and turned to trudge back down the mountain. But the old gods stirring in their stupor caused the mountain to shake, hurling a rockslide down to crush the hunter’s body. While the hunter was surely dead, ENIAC’s gift was not!

As the mountains eroded to become hills, the humans spread across the Earth and began farming the country where the hunter’s corpse fell millennia before. A child scratched at the ground to plant pipeweed seeds for bread. His stick hit an oddly shiny metal object in the ground. Though the hunter’s bones became dust long ago, ENIAC’s gift to men was eternal.

The child dug the box out of the ground and scrambled back to his family’s hut to show his father what he found, but no manner of smashing, prying, or gouging would open ENIAC’s gift.

The humans needed a special tool...
