That's 26 new tones and 6 new verbs, bringing the totals to 258 tones and 54 verbs. A couple interesting tidbits on this batch:

This is surprisingly not the first time we have something that is only one character off from an existing item (exclaim / explain). One pair, for instance, is wishful/wistful.

We now have 11 dis- tones, but only one of the words that is made by removing the dis- from them (though the majority of them don't make a valid tone).

We added two new tones with -ious endings, and they're both unusual in that they pronounce it "ee-us" instead of "shuss" (as in flirtatious or suspicious). They're not the first, though; mysterious, oblivious, and obsequious precede them.

[CrystalTears]

I can barely keep up with what was already there. Yeesh.

[Fallen]

A few of my suggestions made it in that last batch. Ildran rules.

[Stanley Burrell]

zomgzorz, I can combine sudden and abrupt now. That is sexy.

[Bobmuhthol]

WOW AWESOME

[Danical]

I'm with Bob.

[TheEschaton]

jesus, instead of an overabundance of tones, can we actually have sustained effort at doing something worthwhile?

[Stanley Burrell]

I doubt, x infinity, that adding tones is a sustained effort that somehow gets in the way of actual coding. It's just way nifty, esse.

[Latrinsorm]

I love tones as well as new tones AS WELL AS Ildran.

But I still loled at Bob's comment.

[Hips]

I suggested INDIGNANT, yay!

Ildran is a solid GM. I really appreciate his work on LFM. Hopefully now that's he's done with this, he can get back to coding projects for rogues!
