Code Ideas Inspired by the Princess Bride

[MarshallDFX]

How did the GDB live with itself before "disengage"?

[Ourla]

Rhyme code.

> say You stop rhyming now, I mean it!

You say, in sirihish, "You stop rhyming now, I meant it!  ...Anybody want a peanut?"


[Spud]

More powerful wands and faster broomsticks for my wizards. Less interference from muggles.

consider spud

You say, in sirihish:
  "Hello. My name is Amos Malikson. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

[Synthesis]

If you're really that good, you can spar newbs while EP'ing a shield with no weapon in your ES hand.  That way they can at least get a few swings at you before you knock them out, heh.

> etwo shield?

When you etwo a shield, you still somehow manage to swing a single-hand punch, if I recall correctly.

[musashi]

It you really don't want to fight back just disengage and tell them to keep attacking you.

Wrong fantasy flick.

Yup.

ROFL, brytta. Completely.

What we need is a "spar" command that, when engaged in, will make both PCs use their full defensive ability, but will peg the offensive ability of the more-skilled PC at equivalent to the less-skilled PC (or +5% or something). Then during the fight if either PC decides to go for it, they type "kill" and it's a real fight.

That and the partial death torture device would be awesome additions to the game.

I would just like to make note of something.  For the first part of the thread, I had completely forgotten about The Princess Bride movie, even though I had seen it.

I honestly thought people were referring to The Princess Diaries movie.

[rishenko]

The ability to be repeatedly stabbed, past the point of absurdity, and still track down your assailant - if your background has laid the death of a parent at the foe's feet.  To keep the skill balanced, you must enter a well-rehearsed chant every fifteen seconds.
