Gone command usage

[cyberpatrol_735]

Alright.. here's a short log, you know who you are.. I found this absolutely hillarious..

Code Select Expand


Guy sitting at your table is gone craft ramen water pot into hot ramen meal.


At your table, a woman says in english:
    "Something it is "

nod woman
You nod to her.

             
At your table, Guy says in english, giving a firm nod:
    "That works."


Guy is gone craft ramen water pot into hot ramen meal - seriously.


I found the gone statements funny and thought you might enjoy them.. what are the craziest ones you've seen?

Disclaimer: I removed ALL Ic info from this and changed all of the words, it was done in a private room and no-one saw besides the parties involved.[/i]

:arrow: gone idling shamelessly

:arrow: gone laughing (in a serious RP session involving one PC trying to kill another one)

:arrow: gone they're after me! (I never found what was -that- about)

:arrow: gone so that you can't see me

People use the gone command in funny moments from time to time. Thing is, if someone is gone (using the command) I walk in and try interacting with them... well, you all know the feeling. Of course this can happen if the person is disconnected or whatever, but I still believe it'd help if

a) People changed their ldesc to let us see what is their PC doing while they're idling (change ldesc is sitting on a cot, eyes half-closed)

b) Make the gone command give the PC a flag or something so that people see this person is afk/idling/whatever

It may seem funny to attach silly messages to 'gone', but those can be jarring and break the roleplaying atmosphere.

I'm all for humor, but using 'gone' and 'ooc' for laughs is often really obnoxious.

[mansa]

i've seen...

gone to kick a baby
gone smoking a bowl
gone police knocking on my door

the most popular that i've seen is:

gone phone
gone nature calls

I'm all for humor, but using 'gone' and 'ooc' for laughs is often really obnoxious.

When it all comes down to it though, I'm here for OOC enjoyment (not my character's).  I think people who take this separation of IC and OOC too serously are going to miss out on some fun.

[flurry]

Oh I'm sure all of us are here for OOC enjoyment - and what I think we all have in common is enjoyment of roleplay.

I'm not trying to be a sourpuss, I just don't think we should encourage people  to go for knee-slapping zanerrific gone messages.


For example:

The tattooed raven-haired woman stares coldly at you while drawing a long ivory knife from her belt.

The imposing thick-browed half-giant, looming behind the tattooed raven-haired woman, cracks his knuckles loudly - the sound echoing off the stone walls of the bare chamber.

The tattoed raven-haired woman is gone - sorry I think the shi tzu got into my gummi worms!

The thick-browed half-giant oocs LOL!  Oh no!  Rescue them!

I remember once; I had to visit the bathroom urgently, but there was an invis mage speaking to me. So typed "gone or I would shit my chair" and rushed to the bathroom. When I came back, we went on where we left.

[Intrepid]

gone to light the cat on fire

gone to be punished -- I am a bad monkey

gone dancing (would not have been as funny if this person had not been idle for hours)

gone to have sex you losers

gone to call an imm about this (no idea what "this" was or which imm)

[SRB]

gone breaking my fast, bitch

gone I require oral pleasure

[Fnord]

Out of curiosity, what does it say when someone tries to interract with someone who is gone? Anything? Or is gone just like an announcement?

I'd crack up if I saw that, Flurry. Sorry, just different opinions, here. I can slip in and out of character easy, so it doesn't bother me. I appreciate the humor. It's the frequency of OOC interrupts that bothers me. If i'm in and out of character, in and out, in and out, I might as well just be out of game.

a good one is:

gone fire!

I've had to do that before when my fire alarm went off due to my pot of water boiling. Yes, I have a fire alarm with an itchy trigger finger.

gone need more b33r.


but then sometimes I feel bad about being silly, and I'll do boring messages like:

gone be back in 10

and then I feel bad because i'm not even trying to be clever. -shrugs-

>gone to visit the land of flush toilets

Funniest one I ever did was "gone minor ranch dressing emergency". By which I meant that I had dropped a bottle of ranch dressing on my kitchen floor, and had to clean up the mess before anyone else in the house discovered it.
Never saw any really funny ones myself, actually.

[Tamarin]

gone i hate this fucking game and I hope a defiler drains the fucking life from your bodies

gone gotta eat a big plate of oysters

gone i have the runs

gone i have to go to bed...i've been up all night with the runs

[Anonymous]

gone postal

[Delirium]

gone postal

That one made me chuckle.

One time I saw this scene

>
The noble is gone for some tea
>
The aide is gone for some tea
>gone for some tea

I actually had to go get clothes off the line, but I couldn't break the continuance. I do wonder though, did the other two go for some tea?

[cyberpatrol_735]
