Poll
Question:
Should we increase the sdesc limit from 35 characters to 40?
Option 1: Yes
votes: 32
Option 2: No
votes: 11
After some clarification about using the word "teen" in your character's short description (it is no longer allowed), I suggest that we increase the short description character limit from 35 characters to 40 characters. This should allow more people to use 'young y' or 'young x' in place of 'teen'
This poll will run for 30 days.
Counter: get rid of sdescs completely and make everyone "the (older/younger if applicable) (appearing gender) (race)" unless you interact with them enough to just remember their name, based on wisdom.
Or increase to 40 yeah.
Counterpoint, for the sake of argument: forget "young" and just use man/woman/[race]. All PCs are adults.
Let's increase text limit on emotes/speech whilst we're at it.
My memory might be fuzzy, but isn't there a hardcoded limit to how long lines can be overall? If you extend the allowed characters for sdescs, that shortens the allowed length for emotes and such. That's what I seem to remember being said before.

This, personally.

God no. Please. I don't want to have to read a book when I mistakenly start watching you people get it on.
It'd be good especially for half giants, who sacrifice an additional 8 characters compared to elves

I like to roleplay sort of detailed like so it really sucks to have to limit myself with this. I support this message.

Perhaps you could code a system where if someone consistently has really long emotes the game tells them to shut the fuck up and refuses to allow them to keep subjecting other players to a three sentence description of how they glance down at the floor or something.

This please.
Voting has ended with 32 people voting to increase the sdesc limit and 11 people voting to keep it the same.
That's roughly a 75/25 split to add the few extra characters.
