Code Suggestion

[Quell]

I can get behind a tamed gortok as long as you can bring hunger code in effect to such a beast. Can you imagine having to constantly feed an animal like that to make sure he doesn't go feral in the middle of a tavern? And what would happen to you if he went feral in a tavern and bit a -noble-? WHOOPS.

I had something similar to this happen to one of my recent characters under the existing code. I was so surprised when she wasn't executed.

A long time ago Kadius had two pet gortok. I think they were only in Allanak though? It was over 10 years ago too.

in this thread: people requesting code changes for things that have absolutely no significant consequence on plots or the setting, in order to inconvenience some of the playerbase whose inconsequential distractions were mildly helpful for several little things such as: character development, biding their time in long boring moments, adding a tiny bit of variety to their RP when there weren't any other easy ways to think of doing it, and or making a tiny amount of frill money in the case of pet sellers.

This.

Also, I played a noble with and owl, and roleplaying the care and hassle of owning a pet owl was one of the few things that kept me sane during the slow bits.

I just realized Havok's avatar blinks every now and then.

I never once noticed it until just this moment.

I had to sit and watch it for a few more seconds to see it do it again just to make sure I wasn't losing my mind and seeing things.

Mindblown.

Another code suggestion (has nothing to do with pets but this is the code suggestion topic, not the pet suggestion topic, amirite?)

One of the graphics in Shaleah's promotion post looking for brothers inspired my interest in a new way to communicate:

Using synonyms for "says."

The example of now:

At your table, the dark man says, in sirihish, snappishly, his piercing blue gaze narrowing, "If you don't let me win this kruth game I will kill you."

The example of how it might be:

At your table, the dark man snaps, in sirihish, his piercing blue gaze narrowing, "If you don't let me win this kruth game I will kill you."

Possible syntax:

talk _snap_ (his piercing blue gaze narrowing) If you don't let me win this kruth game I will kill you.

Possible allowed substitutions for the "says" or "exclaims" or "asks" when using "tell," "talk," or "say":

snap, cry, trill, blurt, babble, admit, squeak, squawk, warn, hint, assert, advise, mimic, complain, comment, tease, cluck, sneeze, conclude, giggle, taunt, joke, sob, snarl, fret, chide, retort, wail, roar, protest, cheer, rant, query, ponder, inquire, puzzle

Benefits:
An added dimension to verbal-communicated roleplay (you no longer -have- to include tone of voice in the ( ) part of the talk, you can make it short and sweet with a single word as the actual method of conveying your character's voice).
More room to add other details to the emoted part of the communication (since you no longer have to say "in a whine," you now have room to add "pouting" or "arms crossed" or whatever else might not fit and cause you to get truncated if you're normally a very verbose emoter.

I am in the "Get rid of wearable pet items" camp...for all the reasons above and then some. And while we are at it...add in code to make that stupid trunk fall on the ground from that HG's inventory should he enter combat, ride with anything in his hands...starts crafting...casting etc. (only posted that because it is a -pet- peeve.

LOL.

Or at least make them wearable.on the back!

[KankWhisperer]

I was under the impression people wear certain pets because of a skill boost.  It never made sense to me so I didn't care for them.

[evilcabbage]

shows what you know Kank

they wear pets because they're badasses!

[Fujikoma]

Also, sets you up for lines like asking people if they'd like to pet your snake.

Totally Badass!
