Couch Potatoes

[Mook]

In a certain room IG, there is a popular couch, it is also described in the room desc.  There is also an npc described as 'sitting on a couch'.  I'm curious as to whether this npc is to be interpreted as sitting on said couch?

[Larrath]

Nope, it shouldn't.
Are you sure there's only one couch in the room?

Look at the desc of the coded couch, and then look at that NPC's ldesc.  It will give you the answer.

[Mook]

I'm still unsure about this - I believe most play as if the NPC isn't seated on that particular couch, but the room desc mentions multiple tables, the bar, and 'a' very large (thirteen feet'ish) couch, which seems to fit with the NPC's ldesc.

While it 'look tables' doesn't list the NPC in a coded seat, I'm not sure that means he isn't sitting there, as numerous other NPCs are 'sitting' at various large furnature pieces throughout the coded world (especially bars) despite their being unlisted in 'look tables'.

Any staffers know?  Wonder who coded the room..

I'm pretty sure he's not sitting on -that- couch. Also, most NPC's that are set with a sitting ldesc, don't take up an actual seat anywhere.

He is not sitting in that couch.

Plus, you can just "l tables" and see.

The room description is fairly clear - there is one rather long cough. I've always assumed he's sitting on it. It helps to remind you that the couch is fairly public.

Ahem. He's my favourite NPC...he's odd and for some reason i'm really intrigued. I'm very annoyed with myself for not taking a chance to talk with him one time and find out more, but I chickened out, got scared and ran away when he winked at my character! And since then i've been naggingly curious about him but haven't had the chance to find out more.

Can I email mud with this sort of thing to ask more about him or do I need to sing the old song and go and foic myself ?

Hell,

Um, is there a reason i'm missing that i'm meeting with a wall of silence about this? From Imms and players?

Is it really such a lame question?

[Kankman]

Is it really such a lame question?

Yes. Also, I suggest emailing the mud if you really need to know.

He is supposed to be sitting at that couch, but the imms don't want him taking up space where a pc could be sitting.

I believe Qetesh already answered this a while ago. The NPC in question is NOT sitting at the same couch. A look at the couch in the room will show that it has a different description from the one the NPC is sitting on.  He is not supposed to be on the same couch as the one that is codedly in the room.
