OK, maybe this should be in the log section, but it has nothing to do with roleplay, and nothing to do with impressive battles (well, maybe against ones demons...).  But I thought it was funny, and never knew this could happen...

LOL yeah. I know. SO embarrassing!! It is difficult to tell someone your rank when - indulging.  :-[ :P ::) 8) ;)

Still I can't get how can you tell a _number_ by tell :)
They shall be told in written-style way: like twenty second. Both roleplay and drunk-style problem are solved :D

Uhh Quino that's kind of a stupid point to make  :-\

I mean how does the "tell" function work at all if we consider roleplay(how do you send an instant message to someone halfway across krynn that only they can hear?) hmmmmmmm....

Hadn't thought of that before!!!!! Telepathetic? lol Maybe we should - remove tells?  :o ;D ???

replace tell in long distance situation with carrier pigeon...  ;)

Oh, that's really marvellous idea! Valeria, thumbs up!

Unless of course, someone has bow and arrow? Then WHOSH!! There goes the pigeon. Roasted over camp fire!!!  :P Smoke signals?

Interposing hand kills it every time.

LOL yep

well, my thinking was that we use:

Say for people in the room.
Whisper for secrets in room to one other.
Grouptell is a group whisper where no one else can hear.
Maybe create (convert) something like Message instead of Tell.  It would work like a current note, only more instant:

"A courier delivers a message to you from Valeria reading:  We are hunting trolls, care to group?"

The carrier pigeon was me brainstorming... ;)

Ouch!! That must have hurt?  :P ;D But yeah, I agree. It is good idea. Even the message thing - keep brainstorming?  ;D  :'( hurts too much at the moment!  :'(

I was wondering, how a courier can deliver message to noexit and closed room with strong roof... mmm, like dungeon - what do you think? :)

What we could do is have a coder set it up so that if you are in normal room, then the courier just gives you the message.  If you are in the noexit, closed, strong roof room, then they could just yell:

[log]
<390/390hp 294/294mana 218/221mv 62761tnl | None> look

You are in a small room with no exits.  The door behind you has closed magically, and is unable to be opened from either side by force or by magic.  You see the roof appears very strong.  You sense that not even the strongest potions of return will work here, nor any spells that could transport you.  You feel your impending doom.  You hope you brought a lot of food and water.

[Exits: None]
     The corpse of ProphallictiC is lying here.
     The corpse of Kamilla is lying here.
     The corpse of Kolin is lying here.
     The corpse of Critic is lying here.
     The corpse of Grandma Jemma is lying here.
     The corpse of Grandma Jemma is lying here.
     The corpse of Grandma Jemma is lying here.

A messenger yells, 'Hey Quino.  Care to group?  And I have some new shinies for you.  From Valeria!'

[/log]

Very nice :)) I really feel death coming over me just from reading this description :))

Wonder if I trap to such room, though I've been there - consecrate helped - I'll really CARE about grouping *rofl*

HEY!!! Why am I in the same room as - them?  :o

*opens the rift gate and puts Grandma Jemma's corpse in*

Do you REALLY want it this way?

No no, it's all okay *smiles*
Just some odd talking in the Inn

I don't think any talk in The Inn can be taken seriously - when it is about the game I mean.  :) ;) Just the wine talking.  ;D Sheesh, I had a Mudshake last night EEEEEEEEEWW Actually, it was nice. Couldn't taste the vodka. Just the yummy choc milk. MOST unusual.  :-\
