Disengage.... You must get to your feet first.

[Qzzrbl]

You say, out of character:
     "WHY! Do I have to get to my feet before disengaging?"

The monstery, monster man:
     "just the way it is..."

You say, out of character:
     "This is going to the GDB for debate...."

Oui. Si. Not no. Yes.

I was actually thinking about a scene that would be awesome earlier yesterday. I didn't know disengage didn't work on the down low though, so good to know.

bash man
You bash the short, squat-looking man, but you get sent sprawling!
Disengage
say (throwing away your weapons) Fuck! Ok! Fuck! Have my boots!
The short, squat-looking man disengages.
The short, squat-looking man says, in sirihish, "Hah. You serious? You attacked me."
say (curling up into a ball after removing the boots and tossing them) I don't care! Don't kill me! I'm sorry.

The short, squat-looking man raises an eyebrow as he slowly kneels to pick up the boots, then stands and backs away.

The short, squat-looking man says, in sirihish, while grabbing the reigns, "You are an odd one. Crazy."

I do believe that is a resounding agreement in many languages.... Though I could be wrong. -shrug-

Having to stand before you can disengage drives me absolutely nuts.

Not only would it make for some cool RP if you could disengage while sitting, but it would make sparring safer when there's a big difference in skill levels.

I remember several times when my relatively-buff warrior really fucked a newer PC up in training because I had to frantically type stand and disengage after a failed bash attempt.

[Qzzrbl]

Yeah, disengage shouldn't be affected by lag from any skills.

[Bluefae]

Yeah, disengage shouldn't be affected by lag from any skills.

I think this cuts to the heart of the matter.

[Dalmeth]

Well, it should be affected by the kill and hit lags.  Without that, someone could spam attacks to their heart's content.

[Maybe42or54]

It shouldn't stop the kill lag. It should just bypass it.

[Dalmeth]

It shouldn't stop the kill lag. It should just bypass it.

Yeah, right.  I don't know what I was thinking.

[Cutthroat]

I agree with the disengage thing, but...

...while resting.

> teach prostitute mudsex
You feel too relaxed to do that.

Is another thing that should be changed.

[Ghost]

Well, for mudsex I agree. 

But to be honest nobody taught me anything when they were all laid back and lying down.  Stand the fuck up, I don't see any big deal down there.

[Cutthroat]

The idea is that sometimes it would make sense to teach someone while lying down, and it doesn't really make sense to restrict teaching to standing anyway. Shouldn't be a top priority, but at least something to look at.

[X-D]

teach command itself is OOC, position is IC and simply should not matter.

Disengage should not matter on position either, HEY, I STOPPED ATTACKING...Oh wait, I'm laying down...I can't...Come again?

[cyberpatrol_735]

Agree with X-D

Disengage SHOULD work while resting/sitting/standing.


Disengage SHOULD work through delay from being bashed/reeled.


I've seen this too many times.

Code Select Expand



The man bashes at you, sending you sprawling.

The man bludgeons your wrist.

As you go sprawling, you say, in american-accented english:
   "Shit! I give up!"

The man stops fighting you.

You hit the man on his neck, wounding him.

You stand up.
You stop fighting the man.

You say to the man, in american-accented english:
    "Sorry mate."


The problem with the scene above is that you have stopped being aggressive but you still hit him?

He does not have to disengage, he can keep on wailing, but you should be able to disengage.

[a strange shadow]

Disengage can be performed if you're awake and fighting (Arm 1) -- Morgenes.

[cyberpatrol_735]

But does it bypass combat lag, like the information/communication commands such as say/ooc/look/score/stat do?

It will next reboot.

THANK YOU!

[Maybe42or54]

That is why I sent Morg kudos. Well, that and a bunch of other shit.

[a strange shadow]

We are so spoiled.

[Maybe42or54]

The first time I read that, I thought you said, "We are so stupid." So I thought "Really, must have been a dumbass that had the post before that." It turned out my reply was before that, which made me reread your post and yes we are spoiled.
