> k Templar

[FantasyWriter]

I propose the removal of the Kiss social.
Have the game automatically alias 'k' to 'Look.'

[BadSkeelz]

I aliased mine to "key."

I support the removal of the kiss social, with out without a redefining.

[Barsook]

I support it too.

[Malken]

I find it unbelievably hard to care about this.

[ShaLeah]

I find it unbelievably hard to care about this.

[MeTekillot]

I was going to say something about not playing the game drunk, but you could just be clumsy.

But all socials are scum, anyway.

[Barsook]

The only ones that are truly need are nod, wave, smile and smile.

[MeTekillot]

no

If you think about it realistically, how often do you just plainly NOD at someone without any other sort of indicator that you get what they're saying?

And I like to emote the way my character smiles. Sometimes they crinkle their eyes or wrinkle their nose or bare of a bunch of hideous teeth.

And having a signature wave is a staple of being COOL

I do..but I'm notoriously bland in my use of facial expressions and don't often speak with my hands.

Also, I too advocate the removal of the kiss social. It's caused far too many awkward moments. Mine may have been with a templar as well. I don't remember for sure, but it was definitely someone I had no business kissing.

[brytta.leofa]

The figure in a red, hooded templar's robe says, his one good eye a dull white orb in the flickering torchlight, his voice the rustling slither of a snake in dry reeds, in sirihish,
   "Kiss them all."

[Lizzie]

I nod at people without any other indication that I get what they're saying, all the time. Usually it's because I'm really not listening to anything they're saying at all, but don't want to be blatantly rude about it. So I just nod every time I hear them end a sentence. If their voice lilts up, as though asking a question, I might nod and say "uh huh." I'm still not listening to them and have no idea what they're saying, and therefore don't get what they're saying, even remotely.

Sometimes, my smile is just as fake as my nod. It's just a generic smile, meant to be polite to someone I don't know, and don't really care about.

I wave differently to different people depending on the circumstance. When I'm waving to a regular customer who is obsessed with his stint in the Army back in 1963, I might do a two-fingered half-salute/half-wave for him. If I'm waving to my sister to call her over through a crowd at a party, I'll wave frantically. If someone I don't know waves in my direction, and I don't see anyone nearby that they might be waving to, I'll usually just wave, generically, to be polite, since they went to the trouble of waving at me first.

So yeah, I use nod OFTEN without any qualifer, in real life.
I use smile OFTEN without any qualifier in real life.
I wave - differently most of the time, so I agree with the end result of your opinion on the wave, though not with the reasoning for it.

[X-D]

Somebody other then me should look up past GDB threads on this subject, they go all the way back to the very first one and before.

But the basics is, Kiss social was left in simply BECAUSE K and L are right next to each other and we would rather have the newbs or butter fingers Kiss the templar then Kill the templar. Butter fingers includes staffers who can insta Kill you or an entire city.

Nah, leave as is.

And honestly, If you don't want to roll with it, just OOC the fact that you meant to look...and if the other players don't want to roll with that, log out and file a complaint...Or stop being so lazy and type look templar instead of l templar.

[Maso]

That's probably not true at all. There are tons of different ways of to nod and smile, all reflective of subtle differences in your mood, response or level of attentiveness. If you are distracted you will give a slightly different nod to if you are engaged in what someone is saying. Subtle inflections on your facial expression will accompany. Etc etc etc.

That looks like a perfect argument to change k to trigger look instead of kiss.  It accomplishes the kill-mistake avoidance AND is much less ICly jarring when the mistake is made than kissing someone.

[MeTekillot]

k templar
You must type 'kill' in order to initiate combat.




woah
woah we have removed the kiss social
not changed the k key to the l key
and now people are not accidentally murderizing templars when they simply want to gander at the fine gams of the resident Faithful Lady

"but metekillot" you balefully state, "now those who would use k to shorten the kill message will not be able to summarily initiate combat and murder a fellow before he throws off an emote"

young squire
i shall instruct yee in the way of

alias k kill

[Riya OniSenshi]

Why "kill" or "look" when "keyword" obviously comes before either?

[MeTekillot]

your wisdom shines forth in precedent.

As I am reading this my wife is talking to her dad and he is nodding with just a neutral expression.  

People nod a lot irl without really having some expresssion to go with it.

[brytta.leofa]

Why "kill" or "look" when "keyword" obviously comes before either?

If it was strictly alphabetical, "kill" would come before "kiss."

[Delirium]

In Zalanthas, people kiss before they kill.

[BadSkeelz]

Why "kill" or "look" when "keyword" obviously comes before either?

If it was strictly alphabetical, "kill" would come before "kiss."

And "kank" has them both beat.

[Delirium]

>kank templar

>kank templar

Oh man, I wish we had a kank command. That'd streamline the mudsex. Think of the increase in productivity!

[Evoru]

I support the implementation of the kank command.

[FantasyWriter]

I love you guys.
