Just for reference, real life skill progression occurs more like this:

unconscious incompetence ---> conscious incompetence ---> conscious competence ---> unconscious competence

Edit: according to this theory at least


Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled.

My only comment: if you're a lady pc, does your skill say (journeywoman)?

I think this is a great change.
I remember back in the day when we had the percentage clearly visible and when the Immortals took it away it was difficult.  Over the time it became no big deal (like most change, actually).  I actually used the lack of visible skill points as a selling point for the RPI-ness of the game.

I'm surprised, however, how easy it is to go "back" at least to some degree.  I like seeing a generalized indicator of ability.  I can think - "Hrm, I'm not so good at this - but I'm really good at this - how will I RP that?"

I think it's a good thing.

I would imagine you could roleplay them as such.

I think the display of our skills should be skewed by the drunk code.  When plastered, all skills should show as "master."

I like it, Thunkkin.  Actually, being a little drunk should show a slight boost, and the more drunk you get, the higher all your skills read as.

When sufficiently plastered, your skills should read like they did for April Fool's.

Yes. And some skills should show (Horny) and (Victory) and (Sleepy-town) and (Boner).

Jack, I think you're starting to joke more than make serious suggestions.  That's what the random threads in the OOC forum are for, if you ask me.

I eloquently disagree. Jack should keep it up. But most of all listen to no one but himself.
