I'd Like To Encourage

[FuSoYa]

People to use the Tdesc function. I haven't seen it used once yet on a pc other than mine.

Yea... it's awesome.  I've only used it really to emote a poorly, wrapped injury after playing tug o' war with a [horribly destructive beast]

oh shit, i didn't even know tdesc went in. JOY!

[Medena]

I'd forgotten tdesc went in until I noticed someone using one the other day.  It was wonderful to see. 

[Synthesis]

I used tdesc for a while, but since nobody ever responded to it, I fell out of the habit.

[brytta.leofa]

Now, if tdesc were to show up in "assess -v"...

[RogueGunslinger]

I think it should show up in the score command as well.

[el_cid]

People to REALLY play bards. Like, sing. Play. Dance. Perform. Do SOMETHING. I haven't seen more than one or two that really seem to be trying in a while.

I've seen more bards then performances.

[Jdr]

I actually knew about tdesc, I just couldn't remember the verb. I prowled through help files and everything looking for it, hrmph. Thanks!

[Rhyden]

Holy shit! T-desc!? I just used it and it's awesome. Why isn't there an official thread? Where is Marauder Moe at? What the hell.

I'd like to encourage players, especially noobs like myself to keep autologging on. Really cool things happen when you least expect it (sometimes) and when they do, you'd normally be too excited to even think about logging.

I'd like to encourage myself to read the GDB more thoroughly.

I'd like to encourage people to start more plots and quests. If you're a successful merchant or a mob leader or a good hunter, stir up the pot some and make some trouble/fun. Player-ran RPTs are the BOMB.

I'd like to encourage people who are properly RPing to keep doing it even though nobody seems to do it, e.g. solo RP, interacting with vNPCs, chatting up or talking with/about NPCs. It always adds to the game

Proper RP != solo RP and vNPC activity, etc etc etc

All of those things are part of what makes a great rper. Not the only part, but they can significantly help get into the character and bring the world to life. I fail to see how discouraging them could help the game!

The good news is, I've seen a fair bit of those recently, sent kudos for them, and felt all warm and fuzzy about it.

[Riev]

I wasn't discouraging their use (In fact, I enjoy using 'popular' NPCs such as bartenders and waitresses), I'm just saying that calling NPC and vNPC interaction "proper" is perhaps not the right word.

Solo RP is also not "proper" RP. They are parts that make someone that may be a good RPer, better. I don't do a lot of solo RP, but I -do- make my best attempt at rounding out a character in his interactions with the world. Its an offense to say it isn't "proper" RP. /derail



I'd like to encourage more newbies to break the law. Be sneaky. Make enemies. Think that the old man at that bar over there is a pervert, and attempt to ostracize him.

Even better, someone make a gay priest of Tektolnes, and preach -against- the idea of sexualizing another mans butthole, for it is an affront to Tektolnes' butthole itself.

[Archbaron]

I'd like to encourage more skill-less characters that are based around role-play and using their wits to make money, not hard-coded skills.

Be the change you want to see.

What in the fuck?

[RogueGunslinger]

Seriously.

Exactly. It's hard enough to solo RP as it is, so if you like doing it, and nobody else does, then by all means go ahead with it. Just because nobody else is doing it doesn't make it wrong.

[staggerlee]

Just because nobody else is doing it doesn't make it wrong.

I'm puzzled as to how anyone but the staff could possibly know how much players solo rp.

Many classes have abilities that allow such spying.

I'd like to encourage people to write more biographies and then publish them in a year's time.
Write them with the INTENT to share with everybody... So that means write more!
