Bad Ideas

[Booya]

When you walk anywhere you have to write out 'left foot' 'right foot'.

The quicker you type it in, the faster you walk.

Could also add in a 'tiptoe', 'stomp' and 'jog' command.

Get rid of inventory space, and give everyone only two. Secondary and primary hand.

Let's add in thighs and calves and make Arm a giant text-based version of QWOP.

After you spamwalk into a doorguard more than 10 times, you will be unable to use that directional command for 10 minutes.  You will also be forced to deal with it as an IC issue, like this poor man.

Actually the more I think about this the more brilliant it sounds. Your ability to coordinate your limbs will be based on a Gross Motor Skills ability, which will start at Novice. It'll be another way to tell the new PCs apart; they'll not only be passing out constantly from overuse of the Way, but they'll be unable to walk in a straight line for the first 5 days of play.

left thigh left calve left foot north
You attempt to take a step with your left leg, but instead fall over in an ungainly sprawl.

left thigh left calve left foot north
You need to stand up first.

stand
You stand up.

left thigh left calve left foot north
You attempt to take a step with your left leg, but instead kick yourself in the face, doing horrendous damage!

If you want a character who starts with Gross Motor Skills above Novice, you'll have to special app it.

After experiencing a bad scare in-game (frightening damage, surprise stab, bards), all directional commands will be rewired for 10 minutes to "flee self."

Make the game 18+ only. Anyone who wants to keep their account active must send a copy of their ID by mail.

Mudsex with characters under the age of 18 by characters over the age of 18 crimcodes the elder character.

Also, High Templar Chris Hansen wants me to have a seat over there.

Just as using multiple keywords increases your chance of a successful psionic contact, crafting is more likely to succeed when you type the whole result, rather than using an abbreviation.

[BadSkeelz]

And copy-pasting an item's ldesc guarantees success.

[Morrolan]

The string " in bed!" will now be automatically added to the end of all "change ldesc" commands.

>change ldesc stands here, watching the entrances

The tall, muscular man stands here, watching the entrances in bed!

You no longer get to pick north, west, east or south, you must now pick left, right, back, or forward.

You don't get a compass.

Good luck.

Ohhh that's harsh.

/Insert stock joke of the 'lol now all women die 'cause they can't tell directions' variety.

[SpyGuy]

The ideas in this thread have gone from "Oh, that's cute." to "Oh my god, that would make the game totally unplayable.  Kudos all around.

As far as mimes go, isn't there already a bardic circle for that?  If not, I think I've got my next dwarven focus.

You don't even get right, left, back or forward. You get: antilouward, louward, port quarter and larboard quarter. And they got rid of the weather command.

Nope.  Movement is now a random number generator, and Armageddon a weird simulation.
