Sure, but the effect would be very unbalancing.
It would make certain gods even more unattractive, like Luzifer
or even Ruggili. Can you imagine not to be allowed to kill dragons ?

sounds good.
btw, the listen commando doesn't work for sockets. (has no effect)
Could this be fixed/implemented ?
I'd like to write a statistics-program that is logged into crossfire
24h/7d and keeps track of who is killing what and then maybe put
a summary on a webpage...

Hmm...have to grep the maps again :)
If it's not in the floating castle, that is...

like put a sword into a couldron, add 5 dragon's hearts and 2
scorpion's stingers to get a sword with 'slay dragon' ?
That would be fine :)

Hardcoding is surely the wrong way here.
How about a formatted message-file:
<start>
<begin insults>
[insults]
<begin last words>
..
<begin player killed>
..
<etc>
<end>
The task when to play a message has to be hardcoded, though...

Maybe, but who runs around with charisma 30 ?
Newbie characters often have charisma <10
