Change Ldesc

[jcljules]

I've been playing quite a bit for almost two months now... and I have -never- seen a PC use the change ldesc command... why not? In my opinion, its an ignored RP tool. Also, when you have a changed ldesc, people assume that you're an NPC! I've used this quite a bit, and I've had some humorous things happen...

[Yam]

Plenty of people use change ldesc.


Maybe you're confusing them for NPCs.

Hmmm... well I've never seen it used before. And I often start conversations with NPCs just to be sure 

[Delstro]

I use it all the time, personally love it.

I also see it used a lot.

I use it all the time, personally love it.

I also see it used a lot. ... and use it a lot.

[jcljules]

Alright, alright! Well, maybe I'm just crazy, or not paying enough attention then.   

Oh, and does it make an echo when you change ldesc?

Nope.

Ditto, tons of folks use it. I have it aliased I use it so much.

[FuSoYa]

I always use it when I can, though the character limit can be a frustrating.  Most times I use it is if I'm in a room for an extended period of time, waiting for someone to show up to a room, or just entered a room and want to give me position and how I'm standing.

I use change ldesc almost as often as I emote.

Yep, he does, and his grammer sucks in those too.

[Ourla]

I know a guy who changes his ldesc in between each and every forage attempt.  People definitely use it.

EDIT:  But they could use it more.  Like bards... whenever you're playing some tunes in a bar or tavern, use your ldesc to reflect that.  PC guards... make it clear whose seat you're standing behind.  If you're hiding in a room, use it to place yourself behind a chair or whatnot.

Grammar.

I fail.

I was always nervous about using it while hiding. I don't know if it will make me visible or not when I do it.

Change ldesc beforehand.

Change ldesc beforehand.

That, sadly, doesn't work.  Hiding, or just about any action, really, resets the ldesc.

I know from experience that changing ldesc doesn't make you visible.

Cool, though now I wonder, how useful it would be anyway, since I believe that if someone can see your hidden character, they will see them as *a strange shadow* not by whatever ldesc you have set. Err right?

[Simple]

If you have succeeded.

[musashi]

True.
