Horses 2000

So with all the April Fools 2021 drama with horses, I thought I would share the snippets still left in my mudmail from back in the day when I was helping PT the original horses. Not overly informative but perhaps still semi-amusing.

For now it is a lazy cut-n-paste. Maybe I will format it later.

Does it just give an error message?   Or just not do what it is 
supposed to do?

Good luck!

Fluff,

I thought I had fixed scrying.  I bet it is some other random scying thing.
None of the scrying is done in a standard manner.  Sigh...

Good luck!
